Patient dies while hands and feet restrained ... "Hani's fiancé and celeb doctor" Yang Jaewoong sent to prosecutors

TV personality and psychiatrist Yang Jaewoong (43) and others involved in the death of a patient under restraint and isolation have been sent to the prosecution.

According to News1 on the 26th, the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency's Criminal Investigation Unit stated that they had sent 12 individuals, including hospital director Yang Jaewoong, to the prosecution on charges including violations of the Medical Service Act.

Yang Jaewoong and others are accused of causing the death of a female patient in her 30s, A, who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi province on 27 May 2024 for treatment of diet pill addiction, by failing to provide appropriate medical treatment.

A died just 17 days after admission. Her family filed charges against Yang Jaewoong and other hospital personnel, claiming that A was subjected to improper isolation and restraint and that lack of proper medical treatment led her to death.

A's attending physician was arrested on the 20th and handed over to the prosecution on charges of negligence resulting in death.

Previously, police had conducted a search on Yang Jaewoong's hospital in April and have been investigating, including requesting an expert opinion on the conflicting claims from the Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency.

Meanwhile, Yang Jaewoong is known as the fiancé of former EXID member and actress Hani. The couple had planned to hold their wedding in September last year but it was postponed following the controversy surrounding the patient’s death at Yang Jaewoong's hospital.

[+1,230][-10] Just like Shin Haechul's surgeon, why don't doctors get their medical license revoked if their patient dies???

[+955][-12] He should be arrested, instead of just being sent to the prosecutors.

[+244][-3] As expected... His face gives off an unsettling vibe.

[+43][-4] It gives me chills how someone literally died... And then he went on TV talking about how his life doesn't go as he wishes just because his wedding was ruined...

[+39][-4] If a doctor often appears on TV, it means they are neglecting the hospital. Why would anyone bother going to a hospital like that?

[+31][-1] He insisted he was innocent at the hearing... I really hope this ends properly and he receives legal punishment!!!!

[+25][-0] Why did they restrain her? I can’t imagine how much pain she must’ve been in.

JYP rookie KICKFLIP's Gyehun becomes a hot topic again today for his legendary Bubble messages

Should I give you an English name? How about Darling? 

Then your last name will be 'Ling,' and your first name will be 'Mydar.' Yo, Mydar. Since surnames come last in English, your full name would be Mydarling.

You've never been to America, have you? Let's go there for our honeymoon. Mydar, is there somewhere you want to go?

Don't go anywhere. Stay right here, inside of me.

A lot of people want to hear me talk about my daily life, so I'll share some.

Since you're my daily life, let's get to know each other more.

That's what you wanted to hear, huh? Cute.

Guess what did I do today? I woke up this morning, shouted 'I miss Noona' three times. I looked at your photos because I was going crazy and when that still wasn't enough, I closed my eyes again, hoping to see you even if it was just in my dreams. Baby, look at me.

Sleep early tonight. You’ll be tired again tomorrow from being so popular.

Out of everything I have, Noona is what I’m most proud of.

And you? You’re my healing. Perfect. Who’s your darling? Me. Don’t make me too hot.

At this point, it’s literally art. I can only stare in aweㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

These messages are not from today, but this idea is amazing as wellㅋㅋㅋ

Noona, you have to wear makeup.

Your bare face is too pretty, you have to cover it up.

Don’t ever show it to other guys.

He said he thought Bubble was based on a boyfriend/girlfriend concept.

Scene in rom-com 'Would You Marry Me' where a man forgives another man who secretly filmed a woman

Summary (Sub-couple storyline)

-A female doctor is performing CPR in a park.

-When she bends over, a Korean man secretly films her because her chest is slightly exposed.

-Another man notices this, goes and covers the doctor with a piece of clothing, and tells her to cover herself. Then, he takes over the CPR.

-The doctor quietly watches as she fixes her clothes.

-The man punches the molka offender, takes his phone, checks the gallery, and deletes the photo while saying, "It looks like this is your first time, so I'll let it slide. But next time, you won't get away with it."

-The man lets the molka offender go.

-The doctor thanks him.

The scene was posted as so-called "Proper way to educate a molka offender."

The Youtube Shorts and clip of this scene were there until a little while ago, but now they are gone.

theqoo

-How can a rom-com drama have a scene like this?;;

-This looks like a scene from a drama from the year 1995, not 2025.

-This entire drama just feels extremely old-fashioned.

-If you catch someone filming a person illegally, you should report them to the police. Why would he delete the evidence and forgive him on her behalf?

-I stopped watching this drama early on because I couldn't understand the female lead and now something even worse happened.

-Not to mention that they even made that scene into a Youtube Shorts and post it on their official account.

-Turning molka offender to the police would've been the true 'proper education'ㅋㅋ

-There's a victim and yet he acts like a judge, granting forgiveness on her behalf. How is this romantic? This is disgusting.

-Ew... This is so f*cked up. Who wrote the script?

-There isn't single part of this drama from the beginning to end that isn't f*cking terrible.

-Is the scriptwriter a man?

-So I wasn't the only one who felt grossed out...

-I heard the scriptwriter is a woman...

-Men obviously sides with another men, unconditionallyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is insane. It’s genuinely offensive. Cancel this drama immediately.

Tzuyang reveals incurable disease while addressing malicious comments: "I can't even get surgery because of retinitis pigmentosa"

'Mukbang Goddess' Tzuyang confessed to having an incurable disease while discussing malicious comments.

On the October 25th episode of MBC's 'Point of Omniscient Interfere,' Tzuyang amazed viewers with her eating skills. During the show, Tzuyang mentioned that she gained over 300,000 subscribers on Youtube in just two months since her previous appearance on the show.

Yoo Byungjae then brought up, "You posted a clarification video after the last broadcast, right?" Tzuyang replied, "I wear glasses on daily basis. They are very heavy, that's why they rest on my nose. However, I received a lot of malicious comments like, 'Are you trying to act cute?' Actually, I'm suffering from an incurable disease," and confessed to having Retinitis Pigmentosa. Tzuyang added, "That's why I can't even get LASIK or LASEK surgery," which surprised everyone.

Previously, Tzuyang had confessed her condition on her Youtube channel back in September. At the time, she said, "My eyesight has been like this since elementary school. It didn't get worse from using the computer. It's because I have an incurable eye disease." She continued, "People ask why I don't get LASIK or LASEK since it'd be more convenience. It's called Retinitis Pigmentosa, and I could eventually go blind in the future," startling everyone.

Lee Yikyung on rumors surrounding his private life: "I was disheartened, but I plan to reform and redeem myself" ... Yoo Jaesuk offers encouragement

Lee Yikyung, who recently suffered greatly from rumors surrounding his private life, made a guest appearance on 'Hangout with Yoo.'

On the October 25 broadcast of MBC 'Hangout with You,' Yoo Jaesuk, Lee Yikyung, Joo Woojae, Haha, Ha Dongkyun, and Heo Kyunghwan attended the show's 'Comma Club: Autumn Gathering.' Yoo Jaesuk, who played the role of the club president that day, welcomed Haha, Joo Woojae, and Lee Yikyung who arrived late.

As the cast began role-playing, Lee Yikyung introduced his nickname as 'IMF,' saying, "I was disheartened because things were bad during the IMF crisis." He continued, "I want to renew myself and make up for that," which prompted Yoo Jaesuk and Haha to encourage him, saying "Stand tall! Straighten your back and shout out loud." However, despite the encouragement, Lee Yikyung only pretended to shout in a very small voice, drawing laughter.

Yoo Jaesuk emphasized, "We're here to eat something delicious to welcome autumn. While online connection and solidarity are good, we should avoid digging too deeply into each other's private lives."

Recently, Lee Yikyung suffered damages due to rumors about his private life. A German netizen identified as 'A' shared alleged text messages and photos claiming they were from conversations with Lee Yikyung. Lee Yikyung's agency responded by stating, “We are preparing legal action against the spread of false information and malicious rumors.”

Later, A admitted, "As I kept posting and using AI-generated photos, I gradually started to believe it myself," confessing that all of the content she shared had been fabricated using AI.

Shuhua got mad because her agency edited her selfie, so she sent the original one which is 100 times prettiercx

This is the original. The company photoshopped it weirdly, so I got angry. I already told them not to photoshop it. Anyway, I checked and sent the final pictures myself, but suddenly they changed them... These were photos I was sending to Neverlands... I told them not to give out weird versions. Why give fans photos that even I wouldn’t want to receive?

Left: original, Right: edited by company

cx-? They look the same to me. I actually feel bad for the staff.

-It doesn't look like there's much difference to me...

-They look pretty similar...

-Am I the only one who sees a difference...?

-What’s different?

-They are different. The left looks more like Shuhua.

-They didn't do much editing, though. They just touched up her skin and reduced the size of her face a bit. It's only noticeable when you compare them side by side, but not if you look at each alone.

-The right one looks too AI-like. They seem to have widened the space between her eyebrows and made her face broader.

-Her nose bridge disappeared because they smoothed her skin too much. If they're going to edit her skin so unnaturally, it's better not to do t at all. Female idols already have great skin anyway.

-They removed her beauty marks. Shuhua values those things, being natural.

-The original is much prettier.

-Honestly, the unedited one looks much better. Her face looks overly blurred in the edited one.

-They touched up her shoulder, face length, and skin. If they were going to do it, they should have done it properly. It's so obviously edited. The original is seriously way prettier.

- Why did they edit her face to look bigger?

Ailee's tearful confession: "It's hard for me to get pregnant naturally... I thought it would happen right away"

 

https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/144/0001075264cx

Ailee confesses that she's facing difficulties with natural pregnancy. On the 22nd, a video titled, "Hoping for a miracle... Starting care for the best physical condition," was uploaded on the Youtube channel 'Ailee's Marriage Diary.'

In the video, her husband, Choi Sihoon, confessed, "We didn't expect it to be this hard to have a baby. We thought since we're young and healthy, it would just happen as soon as we decided to have a baby." Ailee agreed, saying, "I thought it would happen right away too."

Choi Sihon continued, "This month is our last try for natural conception. My dark circles have dropped this low. If it doesn't work out this time, the hospital suggested we consider IVF. My wife has been watching a lot of pregnancy-related videos on Youtube these days. She even cried while watching one earlier."

Ailee teared up, "I really sympathized with those who struggle with natural pregnancy like me. Just thinking about it makes me emotional. I've never really taken a break since I debuted. I've always just worked. I wonder, 'Did I overwork myself?' I also feel sorry to my husband."

To this, Choi Sihoon responded, "Why are you sorry? It's hard to stay motivated if you do it alone. We can diet and take care of things together. If we work on it as a team, we’ll overcome it.” Ailee then burst into tears, thanking her husband for his support.

instiz

-It's because of her age....

-Ailee is already 37…??

-Don't comment things like "It's because she's old" on someone who is crying because she's struggling to get pregnant. What's wrong with you all?

-Since the birth rate is dropping, I truly hope that couples who want children get their miracle soonㅠㅠ

-It's not always the age... I have friends who are 27-28 thatcx are having a hard time with getting pregnant naturallyㅠ

-It's truly fascinating how some people desperately want a child but can't get pregnant, while others have 10 kids and even though their bodies must be worn out from multiple pregnancies, they still get pregnant easily.

-She's definitely not too old to get pregnant. The average age for childbirth keeps rising. People having kids at her age is surprisingly very common now. I wish people would stop making rude remarks about things that don't even concern them..ㅠ

-ㅠㅠ So heartbreaking.

-ㅜㅜ I really hope a beautiful baby comes to them soon.

-Those who’ve visited fertility clinics know, the age range of childbirth is so much more diverse than expected. Age is not always the problem.

-If her husband were in his 20s, maybe she could’ve gotten pregnant…

-There are actually a lot of women in their 20s going to fertility clinics.

-Even at 27, some people have a hard time getting pregnant. Why do people act like getting pregnant is instantly easy and babies just pop out effortlessly at age 27?

W Korea intentionally planned 'Breast Concert Party' ... Youtuber exposes invitation promising 'chance to see celebrities in person'

W Korea is facing massive backlash for hosting a so-called 'breast cancer drinking party.'

On the 15th, W Korea stirred a controversy after hosting its annual 'Love Your W 2025' campaign under the theme of 'breast cancer awareness and charity.' The event, organized on a massive scale for its 20th anniversary, drew criticism after live-stream revealed the event had devolved into a 'celebrity drinking party.'

As the organizer, W Korea provoked public outrage for exploiting breast cancer to promote a 'drinking party.' Amid growing public outrage, content creators have begun to voice criticism.

On the 20th, Youtuber Jung Sunho, who has 1.83 million subscribers, released a video on his channel featuring his mother, a breast cancer survivor, to call out W Korea. In the video, Jung Sunho played Jay Park's 'MOMMAE,' which was performed at the event. His mother couldn't hide her anger, saying, "What is this? How could they perform such a song at a campaign like that? Isn't this mockery? I feel offended."

Jung Sunho criticized W Korea, saying, "I place the biggest blame on the event organizer. How can they be this thoughtless? Do they really think gathering famous celebrities and influencers automatically raises breast cancer awareness?" He also added, "It seems like they wanted an excuse to invite celebrities for free to get sponsorships, so they came up with 'breast cancer' as an excuse. They basically exploited 'breast cancer' for their own profit."

On October 23rd, another controversy erupted as it was revealed that W Korea allegedly used the phrase 'Breast Cancer Party' in the initial invitation. Fashion Youtube Sinu, who has 400,000 subscribers, exposed this on his Instagram story that day. Sinu shared, "Honestly, when I saw the phrase 'Breast Cancer Party,' I thought to myself, 'Is this right? Are people really going to this event?' But apparently, many people went. I guess I was the only one who thought it sounded off."

Along with this, he revealed the invitation sent by W Korea, which read, "This is the W Magazine Breast Cancer Party that drew attention for being attended by top stars. This year, we are specially inviting creators in collaboration with W Magazine. We offer you a chance to see celebrity performances live in a small space and the opportunity to enjoy a party with celebrities. This is only offered to a limited number of attendees."

By labeling the event as a 'Breast Cancer Party,' W Korea shamelessly marketed the event as the opportunity to see celebrities in person. In fact, W Korea used the same term on its official website. In their invitations sent to celebrities, they wrote, "This campaign aims to raise awareness about the risks of breast cancer and support breast cancer prevention and treatment," adding that this was 'a party specially prepared for that purpose.'

-Hul... No, why?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please don't... I beg you. Let my bias wins 1st place first before wrapping up the show.

-Is it because the economy is tough...? That's sad?ㅜㅜ

-Idols from big agencies don't perform on this show, only those from small-to-medium sized ones do. That's why the ratings, views, and buzz are all low. And once those smaller groups got a little popular, they eventually stopped performing on this show...

-My bias used to be an MV here, so I have such fond memories of this show. It's so sadㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Where will small groups ever get to win 1st place now?ㅠ

-Now if you're not from a big agency, you won't even be able to perform on music show...

-My bias is having a comeback, thoughㅠ

-Hul... It must be because of the production costs..

-If this keeps up, Show Champion might be the next to disappear...

-Ah... My bias debuted on The Show, so this is very emotional for me...ㅠ Idols from small-to-medium sized agencies are losing their chances now...

-I used to stan a group from a small agency when I was in high school 10 years. They couldn't perform on shows like Music Core, Music Bank, or Inkigayo. I used to watch The Show every week because they barely got to perform on the opening stage there...

-Music shows cost a lot of money to produce, but they don't bring in profit.

-Only Show Champion is left now for groups from small-to-medium sized agenciesㅋㅋ

-Why does it have to end?ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

TripleS agency, MODHAUS, faces backlash for requiring pre-assignment and 3 interview rounds for a 3-month contract position

 

제대로 된 인재를 뽑고 싶은 건 알겠는데 3개월 계약직에 요구하는 사전과제 양이 상당하고 거기다 면접이 3차까지 있는 건 좀 씁쓸함 원래 다 그런가요

— 잼병 (@jamsick00) October 23, 2025

MODHAUS (TripleS, ARTMS)' pre-assignment for their contract hiring is so interesting that I want to assign it to my mutuals try it like a K-pop quizㅋㅋ Who's in?

I understand that they want to hire qualified talent, but requiring such a long pre-assignment and 3 interviews for just a 3-month contract is a little bit too much. Is this normal? 

Pre-assignment (To be submitted with your resume or include it in the application document)

1. Review one album and MV from an idol group that debuted in the past year.
Describe the characteristics of the group or elements that left a strong impressions (100 characters minimum)

2. Introduce an idol song from the past 6 months that left a strong impression on you.
Analyze why the song received attention, changes in the team, and market response (100 characters minimum)

3. What direction do you think the overall flow of K-pop is heading toward now?
If you have any personal insights on specific areas such as genre, performance, or marketing, please provide them.

4. Write about a recent domestic or international music industry issue that caught your attention (Negative issues are also welcome).
As an artist researcher, explain why that issue is important.

5. Introduce any group that you believe is underrated.
Describe why they haven't received attention, why you noticed them, and what they could improve.

6. What are your thoughts on fandom-driven platforms like COSMO, Universe, fan-voting apps, etc?
Include your opinions on the pros and cons of MODHAUS' app, COSMO, and how you would improve and utilize it as a researcher.

7. If there's any MVs you recently couldn't finish watching, mention and explain why.
As a consumer and researcher, analyze what disrupted your engagement?

8. Are there any expressions, concepts, or formats that are currently being overused in the K-pop scene?
What feels repetitive?

9. If you have ever witnessed a group you like going through a downfall, why do you think that happened?
Analyze the factors of failure and describe what early signals you could've discovered as a researcher. Also, describe what you learned and how you adjusted your judgment criteria at that time.

10. If you were to work as an Artist Researcher, explain how you would contribute to the team based on your perspective and strengths.
Write down your unique observation criteria, analysis methods, or philosophy.

They required pre-assignment and 3 rounds of interviews just for a 3-month contract position

Note:

-After the 3-month contract, an extension of an additional 3 months may be discussed and a discussion for conversion to a regular position may be held depending on the company's circumstances and performance.
-Work conditions: To be discussed separately during the interview

Selection process:

Document screening > 1st interview > 2nd interview > 3rd interview > Final selection
Interview schedule will be announced later

Notice:

-False information may result in cancellation of employment.
-The recruitment is rolling and may close early once the position is filled.

theqoo

-Even when went for interviews at SM Ent. and YG Ent., they didn't ask questions like this. This is way over the topㅋㅋㅋㅋ They must be trying to collect research data for free without lifting a finger.

-Are they kidding?

-As an idol fan, I personally find these questions more interesting and I'd be more confidence answering them, compared to the typical self-introduction onesㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like they're making applicants do the work that the actual employees should be doing. They're basically stealing the applicants' ideas.

-Even large companies don't go that far.

-They're not even paying the applicants interview expenses, yet they're getting research data for free. What a sweet deal.

-Pre-assignment is wild. They don't even bother to hide the fact that they're stealing ideas for free.

-What kind of position is that for...? It's not even for a full-time position, just a 3-month contractㅋㅋㅋ

-It's not like they're a large company hiring a 1-year contract. They're just a small-to-medium company hiring for a 3-month contract, yet they're being so demanding.

-As expected from MODHAUS,

-Just ask AI, you scumbags.

-That's too much... Ew.

-They sure expect f*cking a lot.

-Seeing this makes me think that some small companies deserve to flop.

-Are they paying a monthly salary of 100 million KRW or what?

Min Heejin establishes new entertainment agency 'OOAK' ... Preparing for life afte NewJeans lawsuit?

As the legal dispute between NewJeans and their agency, ADOR, is awaiting a verdict, ADOR's former CEO Min Heejin, also known as 'NewJeans' mother',has established a new entertainment agency.

According to SPOTV News on the 24th, ADOR's former CEO Min Heejin has established a new entertainment agency called OOAK Co., Ltd, and completed the corporate registration on the 16th.

The company is registered for business purposed including celebrity management, music production and distribution, event planning, and brand management. Min Heejin is listed as an interna director.

OOAK is located near Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The building is currently under construction.

This is Min Heejin's first official move since her departure from ADOR. This fueled speculation that Min Heejin is preparing for life after NewJeans' lawsuit.

The court is expected to deliver its first trial verdict on the 30th regarding ADOR’s suit to confirm the validity of NewJeans’ exclusive contracts. If the court sides with NewJeans in the first trial, the members could move to Min Heejin's new company, OOAK. However, since NewJeans has already lost both preliminary injunction lawsuits, the result of the first trial can't be viewed optimistically.

NewJeans' member attempted to promote independently under the new group name NJZ, but got prohibited by the court. The court ruled that if NewJeans pursue independent activities, they would each owe 1 billion KRW per violation.

Despite two rounds of meditation, ADOR and NewJeans failed to reach an agreement. The members submitted a petition to the court, stating, "Telling us to return to ADOR is like telling a bullying victim to go back to where the perpetrator is."

You'll understand why the entertainment industry is nothing different from animal kingdomㄷㄷ

Ratings doubled from the first episode ... 'A Hundred Memories' ends with its highest record yet

 JTBC 'A Hundred Memories' conclude its emotional journey of Kim Dami, Shin Yeeun, and Heo Namjoon on the 19th. The final episode recorded nationwide viewer ratings of 8.1% and 7.8% in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, peaking at 9.1%. This is the drama's highest record yet.

[+231][-41] Do not ever write a drama like this again.

[+223][-14] It was really good until halfway through...

[+34][-1] I was surprised Kim Junghyun was just the second lead.

[+32][-0] The ratings were good compared to the drama's overall quality.

[+30][-1] It was watchable up until the bus attendant part, but then it completely went down the hill. Kim Junghyun did look charismatic here, though.

[+30][-1] I actually liked Kim Junghyun, though.

[+30][-1] Why did Youngrye end up with Jaepil??

[+27][-0] It would’ve been better if she’d just cherished her first love as a memory and ended up with her brother's friend instead. Why did they unnecessarily include that stabbing scene? Honestly, I already thought it was weird when she got stabbed in the shoulder and ran off... But still, the cast was pretty solid.

[+25][-6] The male lead was really disappointing. He had no chemistry and looked way too old.

Dawn targets his ex-girlfriend Hyuna? ... "I think I can understand how 'Transit Love' feels like"

 

Dawn indirectly mentioned his breakup with Hyuna as he guested on Episode 6 and 7 of 'Transit Love 4' that was released on the 22nd. Host Lee Yongjin asked him, "Is this your first activity since your discharge?" and Dawn replied, "I think this is my first broadcast."

Lee Yongjin said, "I heard the production staff has been sending you calls since the previous season," to which Dawn answered, "At that time, I wasn't in a position to do anything," indirectly referring to his breakup with Hyuna.

Dawn had previously announced his breakup with Hyuna in 2022 after dating for 6 years. Simon Dominic joked, "You're being so honest already," drawing laughter.

When asked if he was more interested in meeting someone new or getting back together with an ex on the show, Dawn replied, "I've never contacted an ex after a breakup. Even if they reached out, I never replied. I can't understand the idea of getting back together with an ex."

Lee Yongjin then asked, "Do you know how it feels like to see your ex getting close to someone else?" and Dawn replied, "(Perhaps) I can understand it now?" Lee Yongjin quickly followed with, "I'm sorry," which made everyone burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Dawn and Hyuna publicly dated from 2016 to 2022. After the news of their breakup was reported in 2022, Dawn enlisted for military service as a public service worker in 2023. Hyuna married Yong Junhyung in last October.

[+749][-15] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's obvious everyone's going to think of Hyuna when he says that. Did he say that on purpose so that people would misunderstand her, who is married now?ㅋㅋㅋ He's probably half-joking, half-seriousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+121][-1] He looks so much healthier and brighter now. It's his turn to live happily for a long, long time.

[+104][-0] You can really tell from how his face glowed after the breakupㅋㅋㅋ

[+95][-1] He used to look so drained, but now he looks completely full of life and energetic. He looks healthy as wellㅎㅎ

[+87][-0] Oh my goodness... He looks so handsome now. He just needs to keep going on his own way.

[+84][-0] He really does look lively now.

[+78][-0] It's amazing how full of life he looks now...

[+68][-0] I loved his iconic, hot star image before... But his current calm, composed style seems to suit his own personality better. I hope to see you through even better activities in the future~ Please release many great songs as well!! I'm rooting for you~~

Park Bom deletes ambiguous post: "YG never paid for plastic surgery" ... Netizens express growing concern

 

2NE1's Park Bom once again alarmed fans after posting a mysterious message on social media, only to delete it shortly afterward.

On the afternoon of the 23d, Park Bom shared a post on her personal account, saying "I'm anrgy, but I'm too lazy... So I just gave it a try. I hope everyone is happy♥"

She continued with claims such as, "Now that I think about it, YG never paid for any of my plastic surgeries. I paid for one or two myself," and added, "Even if I work hard by singing to death, I only break even."

Park Bom also claimed that advertising deals that were supposed to come to her never reached her and that her family was taken advantage of, but she deleted the post immediately after publishing it.

Recently, Park Bom sparked controversy by declaring she intended to sue Yang Hyunsuk. Regarding the lawsuit letter that detailed the damages she suffered from, her agency D-Nation released an official statement on the 23rd saying, "All financial settlements related to Park Bom's 2NE1 activities have been completed. The lawsuit posted on her social media has not been officially submitted."

Park Bom, who has halted all activities to focus on treatment and recovery, was also recently involved in allegations of pet abuse. This was because she posted a photo of her dog with lipstick applied around its mouth. Netizens expressed concern for both Park Bom and the dog, and the post was soon deleted as well.

2. [+53][-1] She's the first celebrity I've ever genuinely worried about.

3. [+8][-0] You were the prettiest one... Why did you get plastic surgery?

4. [+8][-1] Think about it, y'all... It's not like she has no one around her. I'm sure she must be going to the hospital to. In the end, it's her own will.

5. [+8][-0] Honestly, it's usually best not to worry about celebrities, but still...

6. [+6][-0] She really needs to see a psychiatrist.

7. [+6][-0] I'm genuinely worried.

8. [+5][-0] If her schizophrenia is still in the early stage, she should get a treatment as soon as possible... If she misses the timing, it can deteriorate her brain structure and makes it impossible for her to return to normal life.

9. [+5][-1] Shouldn't she be hospitalized?

10. [+4][-0] Does she not have any family?

People who rewatch the same drama repeatedly are said to have high emotional intelligence

 

[People who repeatedly watch the same drama are not lazy, they actually have high emotional intelligence.]

If you often rewatch your favorite drama, science suggests you are highly likely to be a person with 'high emotional intelligence.'

According to psychologists, rewatching familiar stories isn’t just because of a habit. It's an unconscious strategy to manage emotions safely. The predictable plot development and familiar characters provide a sense of stability to the brain, relieve stress, and help restore mood.

In other words, even if you’ve rewatched 'Reply 1988,' 'Mr. Sunshine,' or 'Hospital Playlist' countless times, it’s fine. It is the way your brain comforts itself amid the chaos of real life. It acts as a kind of self-therapy that helps emotional recovery.

instiz

-Does the genre not matter?

-Only dramas, not books?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I just rewatch because I forget the plot, though.

-I’ve watched Coffee Prince and Goblin so many times, I memorize the dialogues.

-Oh, I also rewatch my favorite movies and dramas dozens of times. I think that explanation makes sense. It’s really comfortingㅋㅋㅋ

-Good for you guys. I can never rewatch something I’ve already seenㅠ

-I'm the type to read books and comics or watch dramas and animes 50 times if I like it.

-Wow, I really do rewatch for emotional stabilityㅜ

-I’m super sensitive, so I only watch things I’ve already seen. This is comfortingㅠ

-I only rewatch really good ones once every few years. This makes me wonder how high my emotional intelligence is.

-I really love rewatching things. It's partly because it's comfortable, but also because it's fun to discover new details and emotions each time.

-Sometimes I search for old dramas and rewatch them, and it feels so good every timeㅎㅎ

-I’ve watched 'Reply 1988' at least five times… and I don’t even like watching dramas that much.

-I play Goblin all the time so my family yells at meㅋㅋㅋ

-I think I've rewatched my favorite drama more than 10 times.

'K-pop Demon Hunters' EJAE: "I was a trainee at SM Ent. for 12 years ... I was disappointed in myself"

 

https://v.daum.net/v/20251022214714197

EJAE started her trainee life at the age of 11. She spent 12 years as a trainee at SM Ent. alongside groups like Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, and f(x). She recalled, "I really worked hard," and shared that SNSD's Yuri once told her, "You're going to become something. You work so hard, you'll definitely succeed."

However, EJAE ultimately failed to debut. She explained, "I didn't fit SM Ent.'s style. The trend back then was a clean, clear sound. I tried to change my voice to sound clearer, but I wasn't that good at singing at the time. I was too old. I understand. I just missed the timing(to debut)."

After her contract was terminated, EJAE left SM Ent. She confessed, "I was really disappointed in myself." She revealed that it was painful for her to work hard without debuting. She added that she felt most sorry toward her younger self, who spent so much time and effort chasing the dream of becoming a singer.

theqoo

-12 years... If they weren't going to debut her, they should've let her go sooner for the sake of her future.

-I wonder if it wasn't about her skills, but because of her visuals...? She doesn't have an idol look, she's more like an actress type.

-Even the female SM Rookies didn't debut in the endㅜㅜㅜ

-If she kept failing to make it to the debut lineup, she could've just left. She just chose not to. So many male and female idols went through SM Ent. Why blame it on SM Ent. when she stayed because of her own attachment? Honestly, just looking at her, it's obvious that she's not SM Ent.'s style..

-If she didn't suit the company's style, they should've let her go earlier instead of keeping her as a trainee for so long.

-It's incredibly selfish for SM Ent. to keep her for 12 years without debuting her. If they had let her go quickly, she could've found another company or career path. SM Ent. is so f*cking selfish.

-SM Ent. is a psychopathic company. They kept her for 12 years. She probably couldn't even study properly. She was lucky to make it later, but others just who were part of Rookies or whatever got their faces known and were then just dumped as rookies. That's harmful.

-Whoa... So she trained with SNSD?

-A trainee isn't an employee of the company. Therefore, the company is not responsible for their life. That's their parents' job. If you don't debut, you can still try somewhere else. There are tons of kids who debuted even after leaving big companies. EJAE just realized that idol life wasn't her path, and then found her right one.

-There are countless trainees out there. Not just at SM Ent. She shouldn't be disappointed in herself for working so hard.

-Hul... So she trained through SNSD, f(x), and Red Velvetㅠ

-SM Ent. is really mean... No, all entertainment companies are meanㅠ

-Given that SNSD debuted in 2007 with 91-liner Seohyun and Red Velvet in 2014 with 91-liner Irene, it's unlikely the company kept her for no reason. And I'm sure she didn't stay for no reason either. I think the timing was just unfortunateㅠ They could've at least debut her as solo.

-If there was no potential, they should've let her go earlier so she could join another agency.

-She really doesn't fit the styles of SNSD, f(x), or Red Velvet. Maybe it's because of K-pop Demon Hunters' concept, she kinda gives off Twice's vibesㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lee Yikyung's exposer says, "I never received money or was threatened" ... Reuploads post after apology

 

Following the revelation that rumors surrounding Lee Yikyung's private life were fabricated using AI, the exposer, Ms. A, recovered her account and stated, "I never received money or was threatened."

Around midnight on the 23rd, Ms. A posted another message on social media, saying, "Even if my personal informations is on my profile, I hope you don't contact me via email or any other means." She added, "I never received money or was threatened. That's all I'll say. Thank you for understanding."

When a netizen commented, "She can't admit that she received the money," Ms. A firmly replied, "I did not receive any."

Previously on the 20th, Ms. A had posted alleged messages and DMs exchanged with Lee Yikyung on her blog. The content caused shock to many as it contained Lee Yikyung allegedly requesting explicit photos from Ms. A and using vulgar language.

The post quickly spread across online communities. In response, Lee Yikyung's side stated, "We are preparing legal action against the spread of false information and malicious rumors recently posted and circulated on online communities and social media." The agency added, "Given the seriousness of this matter, we plan to pursue every possible legal measures by calculating the scale of damages resulting from the rumors."

They further stated, "Both the creation and distribution of such false content will be subject to legal action. Please be cautious to prevent unnecessary damages."

As the controversy grew, A suddenly posted an apology on the 22nd, saying, "Recently, I posted various photos related to Lee Yikyung. It all started as a joke. I didn't expect it to get so much attention. But as I kept posting and using AI-generated photos, I gradually started to believe it myself."

She added, "I feel guilty because what started as fun gradually seemed to become real. If I need to take responsibility, I will. Please understand that my Korean is clumsy since I'm German."

2. [+682][-21] Why isn't Lee Yikyung's side taking legal action? Why does that woman keep trying to explain herself? Is this really something that can be settled with leniency?

3. [+693][-42] Is that really the case? It just makes me wonder more if they settled or notㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+81][-3] If Lee Yikyung stays silent and does nothing, it's safe to assume that he silenced her with moneyㅋㅋ

5. [+81][-1] The longer the media play drags on, the more suspicious it gets.. Why is his agency so silent when their artist's image is taking a huge hit? I've never seen a case where the alleged perpetrator talks more than the victimㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+79][-4] If I were Lee Yikyung, I wouldn't be this quiet. I'd at least post something on Instagram. I don't know why he's just staying silent behind the agency. Is he hoping it will quietly pass?

7. [+74][-2] If he shows leniency, people will suspect him of silencing the perpetrator with money. He should definitely file a lawsuit.

8. [+63][-3] The conversation's content was so shocking that if it were true, I would never want to see someone like him in the media again. He'd seem totally fake and I'd feel repulsed to see him appear on family-friendly shows.

9. [+62][-1] Lee Yikyung is being way too quiet.

10. [+55][-6] If he forgives her, he's basically confirming that he bribed her with money.
