Taeyong of 'NCT' to Begin Military Service on April 10... Confirmed for Navy Band
Taeyong will undergo basic military training at the training center on April 10th before fulfilling his military duty in the Navy Band. Taeyong is the first member of NCT to enlist. Eldest member Taeil was delayed from enlisting due to a motorcycle accident in August last year, resulting in a fractured right thigh. His enlistment was postponed for recovery after surgery.
Taeyong underwent an audition for the Navy Band in January, competing with six others for one vocal position. During the audition, Taeyong chose one of three songs as his free choice, opting to sing his original composition. With his exceptional vocal skills, he passed the final interview on the 23rd of last month.
-I can't believe Taeyong will be enlisting soon...ㅠㅠㅠ
-Doesn't he have a disc issue?? But he's still enlistingㅠㅠ
-It's already time for NCT and Seventeen to enlist in the military service...
-I heard he has a disc injury, though... I hope he stays healthy there...
-Huk... He's already at the age to enlist...?
-Hul... NCT's members are enlisting now??? Unbelievable
-Taeyong-ah, stay safe!!!!!ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Oh... There's only a month left. Was Taeyong born in 1996?
-Hul... Why is he enlisting so early...?
-It's very impressive of him to enlist despite his injury
-Taeyong-ah, I know you'll do well but I'm very worried about youㅠㅠㅠ
-Isn't he the first NCT member to enlist??
-Hul... Doesn't he have a disc injury?ㅠㅠ I hope he stays healthy thereㅠㅠ
-No way... I'm cryingㅠㅠㅠ
-Hul... How old is he? Why is he already enlisting?
-This is very sudden...
Bruno Mars Faces $50M Debt Due to Gambling Addiction
After successfully completing a two-day concert in Seoul, shocking news about Bruno Mars has emerged.
On the 14th, foreign media outlets quoted a reliable source in Las Vegas, reporting that "Bruno Mars is currently in debt of $50 million (approximately 66.9 billion won) to the MGM Grand Casino." An official explained, "In essence, MGM practically owns Bruno," and described his debt as reaching a critical level. In 2016, Bruno Mars signed a long-term partnership contract with the casino operator "MGM Resorts International."
According to the contract, he is required to perform regular concerts at the MGM Resort in Las Vegas, during which he reportedly enjoyed gambling at the casino. Business Insider reported, "Although Bruno Mars earns around $90 million annually through the partnership, after deducting various taxes, he ends up returning more money to the casino than what he earns."
Along with this news, attention has also been drawn to Bruno Mars' past remarks where he confessed about his gambling experiences. In a 2013 interview with music media GQ, he revealed that before achieving success as a singer, he was addicted to gambling. Bruno Mars said, "I lost an unbearable amount of money back then. When you're weak, they (casinos) will prey on your money," warning about the dangers of gambling addiction.
News Nation reported that they requested comments from Bruno Mars and the MGM side regarding this matter but did not receive a response.
From Han Sohee's Perspective, Ryu Junyeol Had Already Broken Up in June 2023
Now, Hyeri, Ryu Junyeol, and Han Sohee's timelines are fully sorted out
November 2023: Hyeri and Ryu Junyeol Breakup News
While the news article was released, it's not completely over between the two of them. They agreed to take some time off, but there has been no contact since.
March 2024: Ryu Junyeol and Han Sohee Dating News
Hyeri learned the news through the article. The timing she unfollowed Ryu Junyeol and posted the Instagram story also coincidentally aligned with this.
-After being together for 8 years, they agreed to have further conversations but it turned out to be the last time they ever contacted each other...? Did their relationship end because they were not contacting each other for so long? He didn't want to be the bad guy here, huh? If he was going to date someone else, he should've ended his previous relationship cleanly. It's funny how he ghosted her and go date someone else and now the girls are the ones who get hate for no reason.
-That's a very impolite way to end a long-term relationship.
-Han Sohee stepped on a shit. I can totally understand how Hyeri feels. And Ryu Junyeol's way to handle this matter is very regrettable. He should've made it clear that to his ex if he wanted to end the relationship.
-Why is Ryu Junyeol getting all the hate now?? I seriously don't understand...
-Hyeri and us learned the news for the first time through the articlesㅠㅠ
-It upsets me to think about how shocked Hyeri must've been when she first heard about the news to the point that she felt the need to post that Instagram story. Not to mention that they had been dating for 8 years at that time. I completely understand her.
-Ryu deserves something worse than just hate comments...
-I can understand both Hyeri and Han Sohee's perspectivesㅠㅠ Please, just stop leaving hate comments...
-That means Ryu Junyeol stayed quiet because he didn't have anything to sayㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ryu is such a coward. He told Hyeri to have further conversations but ended up ghosting her.
-I feel really bad for Hyeri...
-He should've at least made things clear to Hyeri before starting a new relationship
-I feel sorry for the girls that they have to go through all of this...
-I freaking hate Ryu Junyeol. Why are people defending him?
-Ryu is such a coward. He should've clearly told Hyeri what he wanted so that she can settle her feelingsㅋㅋㅋ They had been dating for so long, so they should respect each other...
Hyeri's Instagram Update
Hello, this is Hye-ri.
Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the speculations and controversies that arose due to my personal emotions in the past few days. It seems that I didn't anticipate the impact of my every action. I genuinely apologize to those who have been affected by my actions.
Last November, there was an article about the end of an 8-year relationship of mine. The decision was not made hastily, and even after the breakup article came out, we discussed having further conversations. However, we didn't have any contact or meetings after that conversation. And I believe that the emotions portrayed after reading a new article four months later were not those of the actress Lee Hye-ri but rather those of just Hye-ri. I apologize once again for causing harm in a moment of emotion.
In the past few days, I couldn't explain the reasons for my actions because our conversations were overly personal, which I thought would only increase exhaustion. If this has caused confusion to anyone, I apologize for that as well.
From now on, I will be more careful with my words and actions. Thank you.
(This post will be deleted soon. Thank you.)
-I have been in a long-term relationship before, I totally understand how she feels...
-That's just how life is... It's only viral because they're celebrities
-Honestly, I can totally understand all of their perspectives. Please stop blaming it on anyone.
-It seemed that their breakup wasn't going smoothly, despite being a long-term relationship. She had been continuously following Ryu's Instagram account until the articles came out.
-Hul... I can understand her...
-Oh Gosh... I want to give Hyeri some pats on her shoulders...
-I guess that's why she didn't unfollow Ryu Junyeol right away...
-I can absolutely understand her. The one at fault here is the guy.
-I feel so bad for Hyeri... And also Han Sohee. I mean... What is going on right now?
-I've been in a 5-year relationship before so I clearly understand how she feels...
-8 years... That's really a long time...
-Oh Gosh... It seems like there was no closure...
-That means she hadn't unfollowed Ryu Junyeol because she was waiting for him to give her closure...
-8 years... It must've been really tough for her, then. It breaks my heart to know that she didn't even have the time to settle her feelings because she already got exposed by the media.
-Ending an 8-year relationship like that... I completely understand how Hyeri feels.
Close Acquaintance Reveals, "Hyeri is Going Through a Very Difficult Time After Ending a 8-Year Relationship"
Despite this, unwarranted speculations continue to surface regarding the two. Eventually, Han Sohee's agency stated, "As a person before an actress, she's going through mentally tough times due to the indiscriminate speculation and malicious comments being made. Regarding this, we want to inform that regardless of the severity of the malicious content, we will take strong legal action against the authors and disseminators for any acts that damage the artist's honor."
Ryu Junyeol's agency also previously stated, "We will take strong legal action through our legal representative against false information, defamation, and infringements of honor and personality rights regarding malicious slanders and derogatory posts towards the actor."
-Why did you do that, Hyeriㅠㅠ You should've just let it passㅠㅠㅠ
-Fighting, Hyeri. I'm rooting for youㅠㅠ
-She wouldn't be having a hard time now if she didn't post that...
-Who is that acquaintance and why are they doing interviews on Hyeri's behalf?
-In the end, it's true that Ryu Junyeol and Hyeri broke up in November. And it's also true that Han Sohee didn't steal Ryu Junyeol from Hyeri.
-Exactly... She shouldn't have attacked Han Sohee. She just caused Han Sohee to get hate...
-The problematic one is Dispatch...
-Well... This means that Hyeri still has some feelings for Ryu Junyeol. Based on this article, it looks like her relationship with Ryu Junyeol had already ended at the beginning of last year.
-The thing I'm sincerely curious about is... Why are you guys so invested in other people's relationships? What makes you think you have the rights to support one side and not the other?
-Then why did she post that Instagram story? That was very mean of her.
-So they really broke up in November. The news of their breakup surfaced on November 13th, and Han Sohee and Ryu Junyeol's first encounter took place on November 15th. I'll leave the rest to your judgment.
-Isn't Hyeri in Thailand right now? How does that acquaintance know that Hyeri is having a hard time, then?
-I totally understand that it must be tough for you, but you shouldn't have posted that Instagram in the first place.
-I hope Hyeri will overcome this... And please, you should sue them all as well.
-Is it possible to fall in love with someone new in just two months after a 7-year relationship? I guess it's different for every person, though...
