Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu (Xia Junsu), who is also active as JX, has revealed that he was blackmailed for 840 M KRW by a female BJ from AfreecaTV, identified as A. He made a direct statement to his fans on November 15.

Kim Junsu said through a fan communication app, Fromm, "Guys~~ I'm so sorry for shocking you with articles like these. However, I've been harassed for 5 years. I just couldn't take it anymore. So I made up my mind. Given how serious the crime was, she has been arrested and is currently going through a detention review. I know I should've acted sooner, but I'm also well aware that this kind of article isn't good for us. Still, I can't help but wonder if those were the best headlines the journalists could come up with."

He continued, "But I'm confident. I didn't do anything wrong and this all happened 5 years ago. After that, I started to realize that this is my mistake and decided not to meet people anymore. We can only figure out people's true intentions once it all blows up. So, five years ago, I made a vow to only meet people for business purposes. That’s right. I’ve played golf only with close people or for business, and I’ve never gone to any casual meetups like drinking parties or clubs."

Kim Junsu added, "I’m okay~ I’m just sorry to you all. I wanted to share only good news with you, I'm so sorry I couldn't. But after hearing that there were more than 6 other victims besides me, I couldn't hold back any longer. When I say I'm gonna do it, I'm really gonna do it," as he apologized to his fans.

theqoo

-Uh... Why did you give her 800 M KRW then?

-'But I'm confident'ㅋ

-I think it's better for him to stay quiet

-The man who is confident after getting blackmailed for 800 M KRW.

-Why did he give her 800 M KRW then? Did he want to help a BJ doing drugs?

-Isn't he the victim here? Why are people mocking him? Is there more to the story?

-I feel like I'm gonna f*cking die from the secondhand embarrassment. How thick-skinned do you have to be to act like that?

-ㅋㅋIf you're so confident, why did you get blackmailed for 800 M KRW? Are you a little bit stupid...?

-I heard that he was still transferring her money until last month. It's fascinating how he sounds so confident.

-He should've reported her immediately when he got blackmailed... The way he wrote those messages makes it sounds like he was the one who reported her. I thought this case was discovered when that woman was being investigated for another case?

-I... really didn't expect him to be this confidentㅋㅋ

-Confident Junsuㅋㅋ

T-ARA's reaction in the group chat when Hwayoung injured her leg ... Shocking

 

YTN | Journalist Choi Boran

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/052/0002114293

YTN Star managed to contact two individuals who had worked as rap teachers for trainees and artists under Core Contents Media during T-ARA's active years.

Lee Joohyo, who was in charge of training the company's singers between 2010 and 2013, stated, "It is true that Hwayoung was bullied." She also added that she had seen messages from T-ARA's group chats at the time.

Lee said "I've seen the messages in T-ARA members' group chat. Before a performance in Japan, Hwayoung injured her leg. She couldn't walk properly because her leg was swollen. Hwayoung apologized to the members for not being able to join the performance. Normally, people will respond, 'Get well soon,' or 'Don't worry.' Instead, all the members simply sent 'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ'. That was really shocking."

Lee continued, "As widely known, the members also posted similar tweets on Twitter, saying things like 'The difference of will,' and 'Give an applause to the genius,' clearly targeting one person (Hwayoung). Bullying isn't always physical. Hwayoung struggled greatly due to the members' bullying and even said that she wanted to quit T-ARA."

Additionally, Lee revealed, "Hwayoung referred to the members as the 'T-ARA girls' even after she debuted, which shows that she didn't feel like she belonged to the group."

What was the cause of the conflict within the group? Lee speculated, "It seemed like the original members were unhappy with a new member coming in. It's understandable, they might think newcomers are gaining rewards without effort. I don't want to justify their actions, but they were all very young. There are many idols who pick sides and fight." Lee also mentioned, "No one wanted to share a room with Hwayoung, so she stayed in the living room. The company knew about this, they should have intervened."

Tarae, another trainer who worked with Core Contents Media from 2010 to 2011, added, "I didn't witness the incidents directly, but Hwayoung often said that she was having a hard time and the members seemed to keep things under the rug. I thought it was weird. At the beginning of her debut, it was all fine. But her demeanor worsened over time."

Tarae recalled, "Idols have fights, so I thought T-ARA had a similar situation. I didn't know it was that bad. One day, Hwayoung came with a red cheek. When I asked her about it, she didn't explain and just brushed it off. However, anyone could tell she'd been hit. So I said, 'It looks like you got hit,' and she eventually admitted, 'OO hit me.' That was one of the visible signs of bullying."

Regarding Hwayoung's leg injury that sparked controversy, Tarae said, "I remember Hwayoung apologizing to the members and asking to perform despite being injured, but she was misunderstood. Hwayoung that I know is not a person who wouldn't perform just because she was hurt. Because of her ambition, it would only make her want to perform even more. She is not the type of person who would fake an injury to avoid performing."

Tarae noted, "At first, only insiders knew about the bullying. But after the rumors became known to the public, claims of Hwayoung mistreating a stylist, etc suddenly emerged. I asked Hwayoung about it, and she denied those accusations and felt wronged." Tarae added, "In the end, the company was never on Hwayoung's side. It would be the end for T-ARA if the company was on Hwayoung's side. Bullying is a serious issue. It was easier for the company to frame Hwayoung as the perpetrator since it would only cost them one person."

We have tried to obtain a statement from Kim Kwangsoo, the CEO of T-ARA's former agency. However, he did not respond.

theqoo

-I remember Tarae. That person also testified back then.

-Wow... This whole article is very shocking.

-The whole company bullied such a young girl. Even as an outsider, I feel disgusted.

-T-ARA members are so mean

-No matter how much you hate someone, if they get hurt, you'd usually feel sympathy first. But they just laughed?? Not to mention that except for Jiyeon, they're all around 5 years older than Hwayoung...

-Hwayoung apologized for getting hurt and they all just laughed at her. They must be out of their mindsㅋㅋ

-I hope more evidence comes out. Will those people who refuse to believe still not believe?

-They're all doing interviews and even revealing their own names...ㅠ

-She slept in the living room. Whoaㅋㅋㅋ Hwayoung has been enduring it all without saying anything for so long...

-I can't believe she really got slapped on the cheek....

-They should've at least been thankful to Hwayoung since she never said anything. Instead, they tried to turn the victim into the perpetrator. These bastards...

-The people on Hwayoung's side are all coming forward and doing interviews. Yeah, because they don't have anything to hide.

-If this is true, they're really cruel...

-Crazy... This is shocking...

Kim Junsu's From messages

 

Guys~~

I'm so sorry for shocking you with articles like these.

However, I've been harassed for 5 years. I just couldn't take it anymore.

So I made up my mind. Given how serious the crime was, she has been arrested and is currently going through a detention review.

I know I should've acted sooner, but I'm also well aware that this kind of article isn't good for us.

Still, I can't help but wonder if those were the best headlines the journalists could come up with.

It is said that he sent these messages just now

+Since people are asking his next messages, here:

But I'm confident. I didn't do anything wrong and this all happened 5 years ago. After that, I started to realize that this is my mistake and decided not to meet people anymore.

We can only figure out people's true intentions once it all blows up...ㅜ That's why I swore to myself to only meet people for business reasons. 

Remember when I said on a broadcast that I only go to work - home - work - home, right?

In a way, I'm grateful to that friend~ Because after that happened, I swore I'd never go to such gatherings or meetings again. And I've been keeping that promise to myself ever since. 

Even the police said they couldn't believe someone like her could still exist in society...

That's why I found the courage.

It's unfortunate to have to read articles like this just because I'm a public figure. Even though she's the one who was arrested.

But I'm okay~

I wanted to share only good news with you, I'm so sorry I couldn't. But after hearing that there were more than 6 other victims besides me, I couldn't hold back any longer.

You know me... When I say I'm gonna do it, I'm really gonna do it~~

What's the thing they do with nails again...? Yeah, nailsㅎ

She told me she was a nail artistㅋㅋ

theqoo

-I'm bewildered... I've never seen such feedback...

-I was willing to pretend not to know about this since it's his private life. However, after seeing these messages, I lost that will.

-My Japanese friend came to Seoul last week just to attend his concert but then this happened... Sigh...

-I think celebrities have to be naturally shameless...

-What does he mean when he says she told him that she was a nail artist?

-Is his account hacked? Did he really write those messages? Not to mention those messages are really terrible.

-Look at him pretending like he's the one who reported herㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What courage is he talking about? He wasn't even the one who reported her to the police. He was still sending her money until last month and I heard this case was actually discovered during a drug-related investigation...

-So... He met her and she told him she was a nail artist when in reality she's actually a BJ. Then, she threatened him... So why did he give her 800 M KRW...? I just don't get it.

-Why is he suddenly mentioning that she told him she was a nail artist...?

-What is he talking about..

-He wasn't the one who reported her, was he...?

-Oh Gosh... He should just stay quiet... Just apologize and ask your fans to believe you...

Kim Junsu got scammed for 800 M KRW ... Photos that show his closeness to a lot of BJs resurface

TVReport | Journalist Hong Jinhyuk

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/213/0001316708

Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu (Xia Junsu) draws attention after it was revealed that he was blackmailed for over 800 M KRW by a female BJ streamer from AfreecaTV. Following the revelation, photos of Kim Junsu with various AfreecaTV BJs have also gained attention. According to Munhwa Ilbo on the 15th, the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency filed for an arrest warrant on November 13 for BJ 'A' on charges of blackmail under the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes.

BJ 'A' reportedly first met Kim Junsu in 2019, secretly recorded their conversations, and used the recordings to threaten him. The BJ is reported to have extorted billions of won from Kim Jinsoo in exchange for not releasing the recordings.

Kim Junsu, known for his love of the game Starcraft, once made a surprise appearance on MBC Game in 2011 and made headlines by showing off his gaming skill level that's comparable to professional gamers. He also shared his friendships with professional players like Lee Jaedong, Kim Taekyong, Seo Kyungjong, and Park Joon-oh. Many retired pro gamers turn into internet broadcasters or BJs. Among them, Kim Junsu previously showed off his friendship by posting photos with AfreecaTV BJs such as Yeom Bosung and Park Joon-oh. In particular, he once gave Yeom Bosung a donation of 10,000 'star balloons' (Worth 110 KRW each) on the platform.

theqoo

-Once again, I would like to stress that we should not spend our money on celebrities.

-Do his fans know about this and still like him??

-This is why people say that you can tell what someone's like just by looking at their friends^^ Makes sense now.

-10,000 star balloons for Yeom Bosung... Such a waste of his fans' moneyB

-Ahㅡㅡ Why does he hang out with people like that?

-So, in the end... The money he gets from his fans end up in BJs, huh...?

-I already had stereotypes about guys who are obsessed with games. Don't argue with me.

-Birds of a feather flock together.

-ㅋI'm not even surprised anymore.

-What the f*ck is this...

-Why does he hang out with BJs so much?ㅋㅋ

-Yeom Bosung often mentions him in his live broadcasts.

-Oh Gosh... I didn't know he was this kind of person.

-This is the type of BJ he hangs out with... Birds of a feather flock together

(NB: This is Yeom Bosung)

Kim Junsu's twwets when the two members of TVXQ released an album

 

That dream was so beautiful that only hardships have come upon it now... After all the flowers have fallen, we'll start again... Start again... Start again... Again... Definitely.

I have to love it all... Embrace it all... Take it all into my arms... That's what I have to do...^^

I've been trying to only think of good things... to only hear good things... to only see good things... That's how I've always been... But today, it's really hard for me to do that... Even if we're apart, this isn't right. Don't you think so, Hyung?... We were on the same page, weren't we? Why... Why... Are you doing this?

I told myself it wasn't true... That it couldn't be true... I believed it wasn't true. They are the enemy of five of us... I thought we all thought the same way... But it seems not everyone did. To express gratitude... To the ones we thought were our enemies... A lot must've happened during the time we couldn't be together... It's so exhausting...

He wrote this kind of post because the two members thanked the people from that company.

theqoo

-UKnow Yunho got roasted all over the internet after he posted those Tweets.

-Even if he felt unfair, posting Tweets like that only makes people criticize the other party.

-I left the fandom when he posted those Tweetsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He must've known that by posting those Tweets, the other two members would receive so much hate from fans. So I thought, "Why did he post such a thing?" and then quit being a fan... Even now, it's such a bewildering post to look atㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whiny Junsu.

-Yunho received so much hate when this happened. It's a miracle that he survived.

-This was really mean of him.

-I stopped liking him after learning about this... He's posted so many Tweets like this...

-Those Tweets caused the two members to receive so much hate...

-He seems to live in a bubble of his own creation.

-Whoa... This is on another level...

-Dragging others like this is not the way to support anyone.

-Ah, seriously... Honestly, I can't believe he's still getting invited anywhere.

-He practically laid out a platform for fans to bash the two while pretending to be so noble...

-Ah...ㅋㅋ That's right. This happened.

-To Seunghan's fans, please stop spreading rumors and threats about RIIZE and support his solo career instead. Some fans are saying they're gonna shoot at MAMA in U.S. Please, support your own idols. Do it for Seunghan.

-Good. Now spend your money to support Seunghan instead of making a fuss.

-Whoa... This is goof for him. Seunghan-ie, fighting!

-Goodㅋㅋㅋ Let's each go our own way.

-SM Ent. should've done this earlier. International fans who have been harassing RIIZE by shouting 'RIIZE is 7' should stop and support Seunghan's solo career instead.

-Now that Seunghan is debuting as a solo artist, anyone who still harasses RIIZE probably does it just because they hate RIIZE... Just support Seunghan instead...

-Going solo is the best choice... Good for him.

-I wonder if OT7 fans will quiet down now...? I hope everyone can go their own way now.

-The OT7 fans will probably stop now...

-Congrats. I hope he doesn't get involved with RIIZE in anyway and I also hope for Seunghan's fans to stop harassing RIIZE.

-Goodㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ International cockroaches fansㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They can focus on supporting Seunghan nowㅋㅋ

-Now please leave RIIZE aloneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Will THE BOYZ become THE BOYS ... One Hundred files for multiple trademarks

 

SPOTVNEWS | Journalist Jang Jinri

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/477/0000521887

It has been confirmed that One Hundred, who recently signed an exclusive contract with THE BOYZ, has filed multiple trademarks related to the group's name.

One Hundred, which was established through a joint investment with MC Mong, recently signed a contract with THE BOYZ. It's reported that the members, who have been discussing with One Hundred behind the scenes, recently signed the agreement.

Rumors of THE BOYZ's potential move to One Hundred have been circulating within the industry since this spring. However, One Hundred previously didn't confirm anything by saying, "Nothing is confirmed yet."

It appears that One Hundred has been preparing for THE BOYZ's transfer to their company since this summer. With the possibility of a conflict over the trademark for THE BOYZ, One Hundred filed for the trademark 'THE BOYS' on August 28. On November 13, they filed for the trademark 'The New Boyz' and its abbreviation 'TNBZ.'

One Hundred and THE BOYZ's current agency, IST Ent., are reportedly discussing the transfer of the group's name. If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, there is a possibility that THE BOYZ will have to use a new name.

theqoo

-I thought that agency said they would let the boys go peacefully since they're closing down their business. What would make them restrict the boys of using their original group's name?

-I hope they get to keep the name THE BOYZㅜㅜ

-The CEO of THE BOYZ's previous company used to be MC Mong's manager. I'm sure they will handle this matter just fine.

-THE BOYS...?

-Let them have their group name... IST Ent. wouldn't gain anything from keeping it anyway...

-THE BOYZ and IST Ent. seem to not have any problems, though. More than that, they actually seem to have really great relationship...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-THE BOYS have a completely different meaning...ㅋㅋ Just let them keep their original group name. (NB: Looks like this commenter mistaken it as The Voice since Voice and Boys are written in the same way in Hangeul.)

-THE BOYS somehow give off a vocal group vibe, not an idol group...

-So, they're either going with THE BOYS or THE NEW BOYZ? THE BOYS actually sounds really similar to THE BOYZ if you pronounce it right, so it's actually okay.

-THE REAL GUYS.

-I hope they reach an agreement.

-I forgot the content of the whole article because of that picture... Why are they dressed like that?

-THE BOYZU?

-They’re leaving after the contract period ends without issues, so stop making a fuss.

The first idol in South Korea to openly admit to hair transplants due to hair lossㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

Jiwon: Well, actually... This is the first time I'm revealing this. I had a little bit of hair transplanted at the front...!

Jiwon: A lot of people do this nowadays...

Employee: But you're an idol, is it okay to say this?

Jiwon: Why not?! Oh... Is it not okay?

Jiwon: With all the frequent ponytails, I was losing hair at the front. I only had a tiny amount transplanted, but even so, it cost quite a bit. 

Employee: About how much?

Jiwon: Around 2 to 3 million KRW. I wonder if insurance covers any of it?

Employee: For that amount, maybe a wig would be cheaper...

Jiwon: A wig? Yeah, but doesn’t it feel a bit different?

Not a male idol, but a female idolㄷㄷㄷㄷ

Fromis9's Park Jiwon

theqoo

-I would be surprised if idols don't experience hair loss

-Considering that they bleach their hair, use hairspray, and tie their hair tightly, it's actually understandable.

-Hul... So are hair transplants possible?? I'm dealing with hair loss and I'm really interested... Does hair transplants last long?

-Yeah... Even a small amount of hair costs at least 2 million KRW. It's really expensive.

-I bet a lot of idols have gotten hair transplants without us knowing. I was worried when I saw my bias' hair is thinning, but one day, it suddenly looked fullerㅋㅋㅋ

-Hul... I also have a receding spot in my bangs area. I was considering to get a hair transplant, but it's really expensiveㅠㅠ

-Even Somi mentioned about hair transplants recently... It seems like a lot of women are getting it done.

-Do they take hair from the back and transplant it to the frown? My hair loss is stressing me out tooㅠㅠ

-If I had the money, I'd want to get my hair transplanted too......

-My dad did a hair transplant and it made a huge differenceㅋㅋㅋ

-Female idols have to diet and constantly change their hairstyles, so it's difficult for them to avoid hair lossㅠㅠ

-I personally think it's understandable for idols to get hair transplants since they must be experiencing hair loss due to all the bleaching and dieting... I wonder where they get it done...

-That's not a hair loss, it's more like a hairline correction.

-My forehead keeps getting wider as I get older, I want to get hair transplants tooㅋㅋ

The predicted vs confirmed artists for Melon Music Awards TOP 10

Digital sales 80, voting 20

They got all predictions right except for Taeyeon

theqoo

-It's very shameful that they removed Taeyeon just for BTS and TWS.

-Huh?? Why did they exclude Taeyeon?

-ㅋㅋI don't understand why a music streaming platform needs judges in the first place.

-That list doesn't include download counts. If Jungkook's download counts were counted, his score would obviously be higher.

-Why remove Taeyeon...?

-Whoa... What is going on here...? What are they expecting us to do?

-Can they really remove artists as they please like that? Even when the scores are shared publicly??

-Why was Taeyeon removed?? She has good digital stream counts too...

-How many years have you been doing this now, Melmu-ya, you f*ckers?

-Is it really because of the download counts...? But wouldn't female soloists like IU and Taeyeon have good download counts...?

-I heard it's because that predicted list doesn't include download counts, but to me it seems like they're just ignoring certain artists.

-Taeyeon has been ignored for 3 years nowㅋㅋㅋ If they don't want to give her an award, they should just leave her out of the nomineesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why include her in the nominee list in the first place?

-Predictions should just be taken as predictions.

-Did Taeyeon even release a song this year? I didn't know...

-Has Melon ever given Taeyeon an award...? Is it because she doesn't attend Melon Music Award?? This is f*cking pissing me off.

-That predicted list was not even officially posted by Melon... That list was not even confirmed in the first place...

-That predicted list doesn't include download counts anyway...
