[Big Hit] Request for Issuance of Tax Invoice

Hello, this is ㅇㅇㅇ from Big Hit Entertainment.

I am sending a copy of our business registration certificate as attached.

Please issue a tax invoice.

Thank you.

The KakaoTalk messages that the arrested CEO allegedly ordered an employee to post on Ilbe 

Big Hit Director: It’s going to be until noon tomorrow.

CEO Lee: Okay, I'll try to extend the streaming count a bit more.

Big Hit Director: CEO Lee's teams are doing such a great job.

CEO Lee: No, it's not just us. Big Hit also manages things so well, so we work together really smoothly.

Big Hit Director: Anyway, let's talk tomorrowㅋ I just got home nowbn

CEO Lee: Yes, rest well~~^^

CEO Lee: ㅋㅋ It's number 2 on the chart^^ It's going really well. All the tracks are in the top 20.

Big Hit Director: Yeahㅋ This is like a blockbusterㅋ

CEO Lee: ㅎㅎ This is how it usually is. It's a game of timing.

Big Hit Director: Let's have a drink once it's finished. This week is going to be the busiest. I will call you once things settle down.

CEO Lee: Okay.

CEO Lee: Director-nim, the streaming will gradually be stoped starting tomorrow. But the ranking won’t drop drastically.

Big Hit Director: Okay~~

They only posted the text yesterday and they posted the evidence today.

By the way, this is a situation where the Sajaegi was already acknowledged in the ruling, and this person was an employee at the time, but they said they posted it because it doesn’t seem like a proper investigation is being carried out.

-But didn’t everyone already know about this? It's just that HYBE controls the media, so it didn’t become a big issue... I hope it gets more attention, though

-Wow, isn’t this a nationwide scam? Return the medals.

-Didn’t everyone already know about this, though?ㅋㅋ

-What song was it from that time? Was it 'I Need U'?

-So, the music chart rankings are all liesㅋㅋ

-A nationwide scam.

-I knew it. I never look at HYBE rankings anymoreㅋㅋ

-Either return the medals or disband.

-Ugh, what’s the point of revealing the evidence? The beneficiaries have already gained popularity and money, and will live their lives in comfortㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I just want to stop seeing their faces.

-They’re deceiving the whole country... A group with forced popularity.

-That company is amazing, they can cover everything up.

-But didn’t the person who revealed this yesterday also say that other major entertainment companies do this too? If you’re going to reveal it, reveal everything, let everyone know about it.

-So, everything was fake... What about the other artists who suffered from this? How unfair for them.

-I bet no articles will be published about this, but there will be more articles bashing New Jeans.

-There's already a court ruling, so what... Where can you find more accurate evidence than that?

-This was already mentioned in the rulingㅋㅋ

-Finally, the truth is coming out.

"IU reported to the CIA" ... The far-right once again falls for another 'fake news'

OhmyNews | Journalist Lim Byungdo

https://n.news.naver.com/article/047/0002456904?sid=100

A controversial claim has emerged among far-right and conservative supporters suggesting that celebrities who sponsored coffee, kimbap, and other items for protests calling for President Yoon Sukyeol's impeachment should be reported to the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).

These supporters argue that celebrities like IU, SNSD Yuri, and NewJeans, who supported the impeachment protest, are anti-American and should be reported to the CIA, claiming that this would lead to their U.S. entry being denied. A 'reporting relay' of these celebrities has also begun.

To be clear, the claim that reporting someone to the US CIA will result in a US travel ban is completely false. This is not the first time this has happened. This fake news originated on Ilbe (Ilgan Best) in 2016 and resurfaced again in 2018.

At the time, among far-right and conservative supporters, there was a widespread beliefe claiming that 'If individuals were reported as anti-American, the CIA would impose a permanent ban on U.S. entry and prohibit their children from studying abroad.' This fake news circulated widely on online communities and social media, prompting media outlets to fact-check the claims.

First, U.S. entry visa applications are reviewed by the U.S. Department of State, not the CIA. According to the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs, the criteria for visa approval include factors such as health status, criminal history, terrorism threats, illegal immigration history, and financial eligibility. Political views are not even considered in the visa process. The U.S. Embassy in Seoul has previously stated that issues like CIA reports are not worth responding to.

On the 17th (local time), U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller addressed the issue, stating, "We have seen the constitutional process in South Korea working as intended in recent weeks," and added, "Democracy, which was hard-won, should never be weakened or undermined."

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had also commented on the impeachment of President Yoon, saying, "The most important thing is that South Korea has shown democratic resilience," and, "We have seen them peacefully follow the procedures outlined in the constitution."

While domestic far-right groups and conservative supporters have supported martial law, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell criticized President Yoon's declaration of martial law as 'a very problematic and unlawful action' and stated, "It seems that President Yoon made a serious misjudgment."

Global media outlets have praised the protests in South Korea, with the New York Times (NYT) calling it 'a form of artistic performance beyond a political message' and AFP referring to it as 'a festival for democracy.' The protest culture, with demonstrators waving lightsticks while singing SNSD's 'Into the New World,' has been highly praised.

For celebrities living on public popularity and love, it would be impossible not to react to reports like the NYT's statement that "K-pop, as a cultural symbol, has now become a tool for expressing the essence of Korean democracy on a global platform."

We suggest you to enjoy K-pop rather than engaging with 'fake news.'

-Stupid.

-What are we going to do with those dumbasses?

-Told y'all, #2 voters are all sick in the head. They're the only ones who don't realize it.

-It’s amazing that they actually believe thatㅋㅋ

-The intelligence level… leave IU alone ^^

-CIA would think they're weird for reporting those celebritiesㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why are there so many mentally ill people in our country?

-ㅋㅋㅋ These dumbasses ㅋㅋㅋ

-How do these dumbasses do social life?

-Does it even make sense to report a Korean person to the U.S.?

-It makes me angry that people with that level of intelligence have the same voting rights.

-Go listen to IU's 'Blooming' instead.

"Song Mino struggles with normal activities ... Requests to preserver police CCTV" Supervisor A responds to the allegations of duty negligence

 

Ilgan Sports | Journalist Park Seyeon

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/241/0003402644

Both the Military Manpower Administration (MMA) and the police have launched investigations into the allegations of duty negligence against Winner Song Mino's military service. The supervisor at the facility where he served has cooperated with the police investigation, including requests to preserve police CCTV footage, while also stating that Song Mino's health condition made it difficult for him to perform regular duties like other civilians.

On the 19th, A, the supervisor at Mapo Resident Welfare Facility where Song Mino served his duty, told Ilgan Sports in a phone call, "Since the news broke, officials from the MMA has continuously come to the site to review relevant materials such as CCTV footage and attendance records. The police also recently contacted us to request preservation of the CCTV footage."

The allegations of Song Mino's duty negligence first surfaced on the 17th through a report by a media outlet. The report claimed that snce transferring to Mapo Resident Welfare Facility in March, Song Mino had occassionaly shown up for work, signing in, smoke a cifarette, and then disappear, causing significant controversy.

Regarding these allegations, A stated, "As the investigation is ongoing, I cannot confirm specific details about his negligence." However, he cautiously responded about Song Mino's condition based on his observations. A mentioned that Song Mino has been diagnosed with panic disorder and bipolar disorder, saying, "He is unable to carry out normal activities. His body is almost constantly under the influence of medication." He added, "There are periods when his symptoms, such as panic attacks, get worse. Particularly in March, as well as in October, November, and December."

In fact, Song Mino has been receiving treatment for a long time due to conditions such as panic disorder and bipolar disorder. He was classified as Level 4 during his military physical examination, making him eligible for alternative service.

A explained, "When Song Mino transferred to this facility in March, the MMA, our facility and Song Mino himself had a meeting. At the time, the MMA discussed assigning tasks that wouldn't draw attention to Song Mino, and considering his discomfort with being seen by other employees, we decided to provide him with a separate rest area."

Song Mino, who is scheduled for military discharge on the 23rd, is currently on sick leave and is facing allegations of duty negligence. A stted, "I understand that the MMA has requested that Song Mino submit materials to explain the allegations of irregular attendance." He added, "While his discharge is unlikely to be delayed at this point, if problems are found, future penalties or actions will depend on the investigation."

theqoo

-It’s really cruel that all these details are being exposed.

-It makes me realize that being a celebrity is glamorous, but it must be lonely too... To have such detailed information about your health exposed.

-Dispatch, you scumbags.

-This is really cruel… Stop revealing details about his health informationㅠㅠ

-I thought being away from the entertainment industry would help him abit... I don't know what he went through to have such a hard time, but I wonder if this can be treated...?

-At this point, he shouldn’t have been working. The separate area was probably just a kind gesture from the supervisor, but it could look like special treatment. If his condition is that serious, it might have been better to have him leave against his will. The supervisor is now caught in an awkward position now. Investigating this isn't simple. Anyway, I hope he gets proper treatment for his condition.

-Given the severity of his condition, he should've been exempted from the military service.

-Can't you be discharged if your health worsens during public service? It's unfortunate for him, but it seems like he was given too many privileges... I understand that the intentions were good, but you know what happens when someone gets too much of a favor... If his health condisiton has deteriorated significantly, I think it would've been better if he requested for a discharge (?)

-Does anxiety disorder have a cycle? That’s interesting.

-I’m not a fan, but he did look a bit depressed when they appeared on shows like 'I Live Alone.' He just doesn't seem as active as before.

-This is exactly why people call journalists are trash.

-F*ck. I was so f*cking shocked. Crazy, trash journalist.

-Are you f*cking insane?? Writing such title in this situation?? I'm so disgusted.

-Is the journalist crazy?

-The journalist must be a crazy motherf*cker. Are you messing around in this situation?

-This journalist has crossed the line.

-How can you write such an article in this situation? Do you even have a brain?

-This is so wrong...

-What a crazy headline.

-Whoa... It suits him so well.

-Amazing. This suits him so f*cking well.

-Doesn’t Kim Soohyun usually avoid being a luxury brand ambassador?
ㄴThere’s no official statement about that. He hasn’t done it before, though.

-Prada seems to have a lot of ambassadors. 

-His hair looks sexy.

-He’s so handsome.

-Whoa... His image keeps getting sharper. He's getting cooler.

-It suits him perfectly. They should’ve appointed him earlier!

-Hul, Prada's got Kim Soohyun and Byun Wooseok?

-His expression is so freaking cool. It's like he's saying 'I'm the human version of Prada'

-Prada's previous male ambassadors, Song Kang and NCT Jaehyun, ended their roles due to military enlistment. That's why they appointed Byun Wooseok and Kim Soohyun this year. So, the number of Prada's ambassadors hasn't changed at all.

-Wow, he looks older in this photo than ever before and I'm not saying this in a bad way. He used to bounce between characters like Do Minjoon and Song Samdong, but now he’s become a grown man.

-It suits him. I think Kim Soohyun would also be great for cold, sharp characters.

-It suits him. Prada has both Byun Wooseok and Kim Soohyun? Does Prada have that much money?

-His visuals are insaneㅋㅋㅋ This is crazy, seriouslyㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, amazing. Black suits him perfectly.

Due to her back condition, Lee Chaeyeon will be taking a break from dancing for a while

 

'Let’s go together... friend. Please take care of me.'

She ruptured her disc.

'Honestly, it's amazing it didn’t rupture sooner. You’ve worked so hard.'

'Let’s not warm up like this anymore. But honestly, it feels so good though…'

'CLOSED. Basically means a short break from dancing... Will resume fully next year.'

Dancing isn't the only problem for her. But also because of 'Kick a Goal,' she has to practice soccer too.

theqoo

-Chaeyeon-ah, please stay healthy ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ And not just Chaeyeon, I hope all idols live healthy lives…

-My bias is also a main dancer and they also have a hard time because of their backㅠㅠ

-My bias had to go to the hospital, perform, go to the hospital, perform, go back to rehab because of ruptured disc. It's really upsettingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Ah, ㅠㅠ Please be careful, seriously ㅠㅠ You’re still so young.

-Idols seem to overwork themselves dancing so much. It must put a lot of strain on their backs. My bias also seems to be visiting the hospital latelyㅠㅠ Since they’re still young, I hope they take care of themselves.

-Health comes first. Don’t get sick.

-Isn't she in her early 20s??? Back pain is seriously no joke (I've been crawling around for the past two months myself)

-I have the same problem... And I don't even danceㅠ Posture is so important. I've been bedridden for two monthsㅜ I can't even work...

-That must hurt so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠ A ruptured disc is truly excruciatingㅠㅠㅠ

-Main dancers always seem to live with disc issuesㅠㅠ

-I also tweaked my back in my early 20s while dancing, and it’s stayed with me for life…ㅠㅠㅠ

-I have a ruptured disc tooㅠㅠㅠ So, I understand how it feels likeㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can’t imagine how much it hurts.

On the day of martial law declaration, Kim Geonhee visited a plastic surgery at 6PM

 Related articles are expected to be published tomorrow morning.

Interpretation: This could potentially create an alibi for Kim Geonhee to claim she was uninvolved in the martial law plans.

Source: Currently being reported live on Gyeomgong News Special.

theqoo

-The citizens were about to die, and she was at a plastic surgery clinic? She's f*cking insane.

-What does going to a plastic surgery clinic on that day have to do with anything? It’s not like she was announcing martial law herself or attending meetings with ministers. The involvement likely happened beforehand. Does she think citizens are idiots?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Martial law isn’t something planned overnight. Going to the hospital that day doesn’t prove anything. And honestly, what a cheap way to create an alibi.

-This isn’t some murder suspect elimination. How does visiting a plastic surgery clinic serve as an alibi for martial law?

-What does this have to do with anything?ㅋㅋ

-So, who did she bribe at that plastic surgery clinic? The doctors? The nurses?

-This just makes me angrier.

-Looks like she's trying to avoid the death penalty. She's trying to abandon Yoon to save herselfㅋㅋㅋ

-Even if it has nothing to do with martial law, that doesn't change the fact that she committed countless other cromes.

-Using plastic surgery as an excuse? This is going to backfire badly.

-Huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did she seriously go this far?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What’s the point? Did she get her eyes done, her ears blocked, or her vocal cords adjusted?

-Martial law is about to happen, and she went to a plastic surgery clinic?

Additional requests for forks and wet wipes at cafes will be charged ... Coffee Bean implements disposable item fees

 

Notice of charge for disposable utensils

To help protect our environment, we're implementing a charge for disposable utensils starting from December 23rd. Forks, knives, spoons, and wet tissues will be 100 KRW per item upon request.

Starting soon, Coffee Bean customers will be charged a fee for additional disposable items like forks and wet wipes. This move to charge for disposable products raises the question of whether other café brands will follow suit.

As of December 19, sources report that Coffee Bean Korea will begin charging for certain disposable items at its locations starting December 23.

Through its “Notice of charge for disposable utensils,” Coffee Bean announced: “To help protect our environment, we're implementing a charge for disposable utensils starting from December 23rd. Forks, knives, spoons, and wet tissues will be 100 KRW per item upon request.”

Coffee Bean’s policy marks the first instance of a major café chain in South Korea implementing fees for disposable items.

https://www.shinailbo.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=1979893

theqoo

-I guess I won't go to Coffee Bean anymore.

-They could just not provide disposable forks, knives, and spoons in the first place...

-Guys, it says 'additional requests.' Also, they already provide reusable forks and knives for in-store use.

-I think this is the right approach.

-So, if you drop your fork or knife, you'd have to pay for a new one?

-If it’s effective, Starbucks might do it too. When they started charging for paper bags, usage dropped significantly.

-This is the right way to reduce disposable product usage.

-It’s only disposable items that are being charged for.

-For in-store use, they already provide reusable utensils.

-It makes sense since it’s disposable items.

-I think it’s a good idea.

-It’ll probably be effective. We really need to reduce disposable product usage.

-That's right, we need to cut down on disposable items.

-If it’s for additional requests, charging seems reasonable.

-Coffee Bean is already struggling, yet they’re doing this...

-It’s additional requests... Also, some people hoard disposable items unnecessarily.

-I actually like this new policy.

-This will cut down on unnecessary requests for disposable utensils, which is great.

-They should set clear limits on how many free items are provided. Some people will buy one slice of cake and ask for six forks.

-Reducing the usage of disposable utensils is great.

FT Island's Choi Minhwan Posts on Weverse

 

To Primadonna, whom I love most in the world. Regardless of company affiliations, I want to say just one thing.

Being part of a company... Especially part of a group... I've realized that there are so many things I have to protect, more than my own position.

As reported in the media, I've never engaged in prostitution. The claim of 'Insufficient evidence leading to no charges'? How can I prove that I didn't do something I never did?..

That's why I haven't said anything.

As for the hotels mentioned in the recorded conversation, I went there simply because I wanted to be alone. Even asking you to believe this feels difficult for me to understand...

I wish there was concrete evidence, but since there isn't, I'm sorry. 

I didn't know how to say this, I didn't know how to defend myself... 

I just want you to know that it's not true. And I have no intention of hiding or running away. 

I'm sorry.

Fan: You went to hotels/motels because you wanted to be alone -> Then what's the deal with 'Prepare XX and XX?'

You went to hotels/motels because you wanted to be alone -> Do you not know how to make a reservation alone?

Don’t you have apps to book hotels/motels??ㅠ

And though you say you didn’t engage in prostitution, you’re still not denying that you went to establishments, right???

Choi Minhwan: I don’t know what ‘XX and YY’ are, but could it be conditioner and toothbrush? Not sure if I should say this, but I’ve been 'tied up' for a long time, so I don’t need condoms, and I always carry my toothbrush for hygiene wherever I go. Why is this becoming a topic of curiosity?

Lee Hongki mentioned that he will return to group activities.

theqoo

-He's probably going to delete that post tomorrowㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So now we also find out that he's been 'tied up' for a long timeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So freaking hilariousㅋㅋ

-But condoms aren’t just for that one function… You'll get caught if you get tested, won't you?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so f*cking hilarious.

-Condoms are more for preventing STDs than for contraception, and that’s super important… I guess he doesn't know that. If he did, he wouldn’t act like this.

-Whoa... Learning such TMI in the corner of my room... I clicked on this post for nothing.

-Why did I even see this...

-What even are XX and YY?

-Is he drunk....?

-Just f*cking hide...

-The level of this TMI is insane. Now, I'm even learning about celebrities' vasectomies.

-Does he think fans are fools?

-'I’ve been 'tied up' for a long time'... I'm not even his fan and after decades of stanning idols, now I'm hearing stuff like thisㅋㅋㅋ Who cares if you're 'tied up' or 'braided'? You're a married guy who pre-booked rooms and f*cking parties. That's the facts. Ugh, he should've just stayed silent.

-Even if you’re 'tied up,' wouldn’t using condoms be better for preventing STDs?

Why can my body create a whole new baby but not make new teeth?

 

Why can my body create a whole new baby but not make new teeth? This makes no sense, and it’s so infuriating.

Really, no matter how much I think about it, we're supposed to live our whole lives with just two sets of teeth: baby teeth and permanent teeth. Baby teeth are such a waste since they only last about 6-7 years.

Then, we’re expected to survive for decades with our permanent teeth after those baby teeth fall out. Does that even sound reasonable?

theqoo

-I wish I could swap out my eyes too. They’re blurry because of presbyopia.

-My ovaries made something too… it got so big that they had to perform open surgery… But the doctors wouldn't tell me if it was teeth or eyeballs. Spare eyeballs... I wonder if there ever a possibility for our body to create spare eyeballs.

-Exactly, I can't believe we can create new life, but we only get one set of teeth.

-Seriously, though. If you pull a tooth, shouldn’t it grow back?ㅠㅠ

-Seriously, though. We can create life but not regrow teeth?

-Science has progressed so much, and they still haven't developed anything to ease menstrual pain. It gets so painful before and after I have my periodㅠㅠㅠ

-And hair...

-Apparently, ovarian teratomas can create teeth and hair... I wish we could find a way to transplant them for use.

-Why couldn’t humans evolve to regenerate teeth periodically like sharks? Weak human body.

-Let me replace my teeth and eyes. I want to live at least 30 more years.

-Now that I think about it, you're f*cking right. We can make humans but not teeth?

-But I’m 25 and still have 4 baby teeth 😆

Kim Jaejoong to create the 'Second TVXQ'... Announces new boy group launch

Global entertainment company iNKODE is stepping into the production of the next-generation K-pop boy group.

Founded by singer-actor Kim Jaejoong and former Cube Entertainment Vice President Noh Hyuntae, iNKODE Entertainment will hold global auditions titled '2025 iNKODE GLOBAL AUDITION,' starting in Seoul on January 11. These auditions will take place in five cities across Korea (Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, Busan, Jeju) and internationally in Japan, China, Thailand, and the United States.

In October, iNKODE successfully debuted its first rookie girl group, SAY MY NAME, which was personally produced by Kim Jaejoong. Their debut has gained attention from foreign media, including coverage by France’s public broadcaster, which documented iNKODE’s trainee development system.

With the goal of debuting its first boy group through the upcoming global auditions, iNKODE aims to discover talents who will shape the future of K-pop.

Jang Yoojin, the former co-producer at Brand New Music who is known for scouting AB6IX members Lee Daehwi and Park Woojin, has been appointed as the head of the new artist development team at iNKODE. This has significantly raised expectations for the new K-pop stars from the company.

Global pre-registration for the auditions began on December 16 at 6 PM via iNKODE Entertainment’s audition email. Anyone born between 2005 and 2015, regardless of gender or nationality, can apply by showcasing their talent in singing, rapping, dancing, or visuals.

Detailed information about the '2025 iNKODE GLOBAL AUDITION' can be found on iNKODE Entertainment’s official website and the trainee development team’s official social media platforms.

Meanwhile, Kim Jaejoong made his debut as a member of TVXQ under SM Entertainment before forming JYJ with Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu. Recently, he has been performing as part of the project group JX with Kim Junsu. At their latest concert, Jaejoong stirred nostalgia by performing songs from his TVXQ days.

theqoo

-Does the company have a lot of money...? It hasn't been that long since they launched Say My Name and now they're already planning a boy group?

-ㄷㄷ Why are the reactions so bad?

-Shouldn't the company focus on Say My Name first...?ㅠㅠ I'm rooting for Hitomi...ㅠㅠ

-Wait... Their girl group has already debuted?? I didn't know that.

-Focus on developing the girl group Say My Name first before trying to expand...

-Why are they rushing into a boy group when the girl group isn't even established?

-Shouldn't they develop the girl group first...ㅜㅜ

-They should promote Say My Name moreㅠㅠ

-Oh... They're working with someone who scouted Daehwi and Woojin.

-Even if they start recruiting now, it’ll probably be a while before they debut.

-The article doesn't even mention the T of TVXQ... Why is there so much hate?

-The original headline was just about a boy group. The journalist added the TVXQ reference for clicks. There are plenty of other headlines without TVXQ mentionedㅋㅋ People just want a reason to criticize.

-Isn’t it normal to recruit trainees at this point in time, regardless of whether the girl group has taken off yet...?

-They should be putting more effort into the girl group, SAY MY NAME. If they start talking about new projects now, wouldn't that mean the project is going to take resources away from them?
