She also shared, "As for my athletic career, I'm thinking of retiring in two years at the longest, or as early as this year or next." She added, "I had a lot of concerns. Around the time I was wondering what to do after finishing my career as a track and field athlete, this new opportunity in broadcasting industry came along. I started it because I thought it would be fun. Work keeps coming in and I'm having a lot of fun. I want to keep doing it as long as people keep inviting me."

She then asked, "Jongwon, I heard you experienced sleep paralysis the first day you read the script for Salmokji?"

Lee Jongwon replied, "The first time I read the script, I was sitting on my sofa at home. I could imagine everything so well as I read it. I thought, 'If I can imagine it this clearly just by reading the script, it's going to be so scary and give people chills when we act it out and it becomes a film.' That same day, I had sleep paralysis," surprising everyone.

He added, "I had a nightmare. In the dream, I went down the parking lot like I usually do to go exercise. I usually drive my car there, so I got in the car, started the engine, and tried to reverse, but the car wouldn't move. I thought, 'Why isn't the car moving?' and got out the car to check. That's when I saw a female ghost. I was so startled that I started swinging whatever I was holding in my hand," drawing attention.

Youtuber who raised allegations that ILLIT plagiarized NewJeans' choreography, eventually...

SOURCE: "아일릿, 뉴진스 안무 표절" 의혹 제기했던 유튜버, 결국...

A Youtuber who raised allegations that HYBE's girl group ILLIT plagiarized NewJeans' choreography has been ordered to pay 15 million KRW in damages to HYBE.

According to the legal community on the 7th, the Seoul Western District Court partially ruled in favor of the plaintiffs last February in a damages lawsuit filed by HYBE against Youtuber A.

Over a six-month period starting in April 2024, A uploaded 31 videos criticizing HYBE. Some of these videos included claims that ILLIT had plagiarized NewJeans' choreography.

HYBE argued that A had defamed the company, while A countered, "I was simply expressing opinions about the overall idol industry. It cannot be viewed as a statement of false facts."

The court determined that A had posted the videos without properly verifying the facts and concluded that A had indeed defamed HYBE's reputation.

However, while HYBE originally demanded 300 million KRW in damages, the court ordered A to pay 15 million KRW after considering the content of the videos, the number of uploads, the repetitive nature, and view counts.

On 'Salon Drip,' singer Hwasa expressed her gratitude toward her staff.

On the 7th, a video titled '[Hwasa's life] ★Revealing the secret to bright heels for spring★' was posted on Youtube channel 'Salon Drip,' hosted by Jang Doyeon.

On this day, Hwasa talked about her hit song 'Good Goodbye,' saying, "It isn't necessarily just about a breakup between lovers." She added, "I played it for almost everyone I know and the reactions were split. Some people couldn't really relate and asked, 'Is there even such a thing as a good goodbye?', while others really connected with it and asked me to send them the song." She continued, "Therefore I thought I needed to explain the message I had in my mind more clearly."

Hwasa also shared her idea of a good breakup, saying, "I've had good breakups, I'm having them now, and I think I will continue to do so." She continued, "I think the standard for a good goodbye is support. You might have hatred in your heart, or you might miss them, but it's about cheering them on as they leave."

She added humorously, "I think I was able to have good goodbyes because I've also had pathetic ones," and said, "After the song came out, there must definitely be people who thought, 'This is my story.' They probably cried their eyes out."

Hwasa also shared why she doesn't hold back in expressing herself to people around her. She mentioned actor Yoon Kyungho, who gave her a big reaction during her performance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, saying, "From a performer's perspective, having someone react like that is really precious and something to be grateful for. I was so moved after watching that video that I wanted to express something in return."

She then talked about her impromptu of taking off her shoes and handing them to Yoon Kyungho at the Pinggyego Awards, saying, "He accepted it so well that it became the most exciting walk home since my debut. I wanted to give him something else after filming, so I even gifted him pine mushrooms."

Hwasa continued with more heartwarming stories. She revealed that she bought a new car and luxury bags for staff members she has worked with for 10 years, saying, "We've been working together for a long time and things turned out well for me. These Unnies spent the same time and followed the same schedule as I do. I earn more money anyway, so it doesn't feel like a waste to give more for them. I actually want to give more. No matter what I give them, I don't regret it at all."

Meanwhile, Hwasa will release her new song 'So Cute' on the 9th.

Risabae: "I'm a creator, not an influencer" ... Debuts as a singer

SOURCE: 이사배 "난 인플루언서 아닌 크리에이터"…가수 데뷔

Beauty creator and makeup artist Risabae (CEO of Two Slash Four) is making her debut as a singer.

On the 8th at 6 PM (KST), Risabae will release her new song 'SPECTRUM' simultaneously worldwide through various online music platforms and her official Youtube channel. This release captures her bold move to prove her multi-dimensional spectrum as an artist, beyond being a makeup artist and brand founder.

Her new song 'SPECTRUM' adopts the UK Garage genre, an electronic dance music style that originated in the UK in the 1990s. It is characterized by its unique, rhytmic shuffle beat and an addictive off-beat baseline. Risabae combines her strength in visual art direction with musical textures to create a cool, yet mysterious atmosphere.

In particular, this song carries a message Risabae wants to deliver to the public. The lyric "I'm not just an influencer. No matter what, I'm a creator," reflects Risabae's autobiographical narrative of carving her own path despite external views and prejudices. It expresses her determination to overcome obstacles and move toward limitless possibilities.

Kim Eunha, CEO of her agency Ice Creative, stated, "Risabae is an artist who works harder than anyone to prove the public that she leads her own life," adding, "The limitless spectrum she will show is only just the beginning."

Kangin has announced his return amid controversy and is stepping back onto the stage.

On the 6th, a video titled 'Kangin's self interview' was posted on his Youtube channel. In the video, he shared updates on his life and future plans ahead of the release of his digital single 'LOVE IS PAIN.'

Kangin said, "It's been a really long time since I last greeted you," adding, "I'm finally officially releasing the song I performed at the fan meeting." He continued, "I gained the courage thanks to the fans who waited for me for such a long time," explaining the reason behind his return.

He also added, "The fact that I can sing again is all thanks to the fans. I will greet you with a better side of myself in the future."

However, public opinion regarding his comeback is divided. In the past, Kangin was involved in several controversies, including drunk driving, hit-and-run incident, and allegations of assault, leading to his departure from Super Junior in 2019.

In particular, following a DUI hit-and-run incident in 2009, he was fined again for another DUI in 2016. In 2017, he faced further criticism after an assault report was filed against him.

After halting his activities, he began showing signs of returning in 2023 by opening a Youtube channel and holding fan meetings.

Following news of his new song release, netizens have been engaged in a heated debate, with some saying, "It's too soon for him to make a comeback," and "He needs more time for self-reflection," while others think, "It's okay for him to return now," and "I support him."

G-Dragon turns his agency's deficit into a surplus ... A look at how much he earned = 200 billion KRW + more in one year

SOURCE: 소속사 흑자전환 시킨 지드래곤, 얼마 벌었나 봤더니…1년에 2천억+@

BIGBANG's G-Dragon has recorded astronomical earnings.

On the 6th, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, revealed its business performance. According to the report, Galaxy Corporation achieved 298.8 billion KRW in revenue for the Q4 of 2025, recording a growth rate of 619% compared to the same period the previous year. G-Dragon played a major role in turning the company profitable after posting an operating loss of 18.8 billion KRW last year.

Galaxy Corporation stated, "The success of G-Dragon's world tour stands at the center of this explosive growth. The overwhelming market power of this global IP led directly to these financial results, allowing us to escape past deficits and achieve a full turnaround with 12.5 billion KRW in operating profit."

In 2025, G-Dragon announced his long-awaited comeback with his 3rd full-length solo album, 'Übermensch.' Led by the title track 'Too Bad,' every song on the album ranked highly on domestic and international music charts. It sold over 600,000 copies on the first day of release and 1 million copies in its cumulative sales for 2025.

Riding this momentum, G-Dragon went on a large-scale world tour. Starting at Goyang Stadium, he performed 39 shows across 12 countries, including Tokyo and Osaka (Japan), Bulacan (Philippines), Macau, Sydney and Melbourne (Australia), Taipei (Taiwan), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Jakarta (Indonesia), Hong Kong, New Ark, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles (USA), Paris (France), and Hanoi (Vietnam), drawing approximately 825,000 attendees. This is the largest world tour audience ever for a Korean solo artist.

According to Billboard Boxscore and other sources, the first 22 shows alone are estimated to have earned about 71.8 million USD (about 96 billion KRW).

For the Goyang Stadium shows alone, G-Dragon drew around 68,000 attendees over two days. Ticket pricees ranged from 144,000 KRW for restricted-view seats to 220,000 KRW for VIP seats. Based on average prices, ticket sales for the two days are estimated to exceed 12 billion KRW. Notably, the show in Newark is estimated to have earned about 27.1 million USD (36 billion KRW), making it one of the single-location performances with the highest revenue records.

Overall, ticket sales from the entire tour are estimated to be between 180 billion and 190 billion KRW. This is the largest tour revenue in the history of Korean solo artists. Including merchandise and pop-up store sales, the total revenue estimated b y the industry reached at least 150 billion to 200 billion KRW.

Additionally, considering his annual royalties in the tens of billions of KRW, his role as a Chanel ambassador, other advertising activities, and collaborations involving his own fashion brand and F&B products, the industry believes that G-Dragon's total earnings are truly astronomical.

As a 'walking conglomerate,' G-Dragon is now launching a full-group project to celebrate BIGBANG's 20th debut anniversary. As he mentioned during a fan meeting in February, "We will begin warming up for the 20th debut anniversary starting in April." G-Dragon will perform at Coachella, the largest music festival in the U.S., on the 12th and 19th alongside Taeyang and Daesung. Afterward, they will connect with global fans through a world tour.

I'll come back again soonㅠ I'm sorry and thank you. 

Let's try to get through Monday together💚

COMMENTS:

-He says he’ll come again…

-If that's all he can write after seeing his fans suffer all weekend... Then no wonder why people are losing feelings for him.

-I love you... I truly wish for nothing but your happinessㅠㅠ

-It's natural for fans to feel upset... But he already left the group, is there really anything more he can say?

-He wrote such a long statement on Instagram... Why is everyone acting like that didn't happen?

-His contract is ending. Why are people so angry?

-I mean... He should've organized his thoughts a bit more before posting thatㅠ...

-Why is getting hate?... I feel really bad for Mark...

-Maybe it would've been better if he didn't say anything at all.

-He left after finishing his full contract term. What's the problem?

-Why is Mark getting hate...? It's not like he left because of a scandal... I understand that people are upset, but still...

-Is this really a problem...? He already wrote a handwritten letter... I guess people are really upset...

-Why is he getting hate...?? Being an idol is just a job after all.

On the 3rd, AKMU's Lee Suhyun and Lee Chanhyuk appeared as guests in the web variety show 'Kang Hodong's Neighborhood Bookstore' and chatted with Kang Hodong.

On this day, Lee Suhyun said, "My brother does so much for us. But back then, I don't think I fully realized just how much he was doing," recalling their early days before her brother's military enlistment.

Lee Suhyun continued, "I think I assumed everything between us was split 50:50. Without really knowing anything, my brother went to the military, and I had to fill the gap on my own. I confidently declared, 'I should make my own album,' and tried to do it, but it just didn't work out," drawing laughter.

She added, "I thought to myself, 'I was arrogant. I don't have the ability to produce.' I thought that if I set my mind to it, I could compose songs too. I thought what my brother does was not a big deal, but that wasn't the case. I came to realization that I have my own strengths and I couldn't just naturally do what he's good at. In reality, he was doing about 90% of the work."

Meanwhile, Lee Chanhyuk recalled how much Lee Suhyun struggled, saying, "It felt like Suhyun was left all alone," touching everyone's hearts. In response, Lee Suhyun revealed, "I once said that I thought we should stop AKMU," surprising everyone.

Lee Chanhyuk shared, "Even if you fall into a deep pit, I will hold your hand and jump in with you," revisiting the story and creating an emotional moment.

Moon Sangmin and Kim Minju's drama ... Controversy over causing public inconvenience in Busan

Netflix drama 'Beauty in the Beast' is under fire for causing a nuisance during filming.

Recently, there has been a controversy on social media and online communities regarding the filming restrictions at the Gaegeum Culture Cherry Blossom Road in Busan, a spot that gained fame for its cherry blossom.

The production team of 'Beauty in the Beast' blocked off about a 20-meter section of the main deck on the Gaegeum Culture Cherry Blossom Road for two days starting on the 1st to film. As the most popular photo spot during peak cherry blossom season, tourists had to turn back in disappointment when they learned that it was restricted. Furthermore, the night lighting was turned off and the filming equipment took up the narrow paths, causing inconvenience for pedestrians.

The lack of prior notice, with only single banner at the entrance, despite the fact that it is a well-known tourist destination, is drawing criticism. In particular, it was confirmed that the filming proceeded without clear official permits to occupy the roads or sidewalks, intensifying the controversy.

The backlash has also spread to the lead actors. Since the drama stars Moon Sangmin, Kim Minju, and Lomon (NB: Park Solomon), complaints are now being directed towards the actors as well.

SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) BJ Juice Seyeon revealed her income.

On the 3rd, Juice Seyeon appeared as a guest on the 14th episode of 'AK! CAST' released on the Youtube channel 'Beautiful Nerd.'

In the video, when asked, "How do you split your revenue with your agency?" she replied, "I don't split my income from SOOP or Youtube. We only split my incomes from filming or advertisements. I feel sorry for the CEO, but since I have already been doing well in SOOP and Youtube, I wouldn't have signed the contract if I had to split my income from those two platforms."

When asked, "Don't you split your income from star balloons (NB: donations) with your agency?" Juice Seyeon responded, "That would be crazy," adding, "SOOP already takes 20% from the donations. Normally, regular BJs get 60%, best BJs get 70%, and partner BJs get 80%."

Juice Seyeon stated, "There was a time when my average annual income was 3 billion KRW. On my birthday, I earned 100 million KRW in a single day just from the donations. But that was two years ago. That was when I was earning well. I don't make that much now. It's gradually decreasing," adding, "I earned 100 billion KRW last year."

She also mentioned, "I once ran into a famous actor by chance and we made eye contact. Then we crossed paths once again. Usually, people with many followers or a blue verification badge show up first in your notifications, right? But one day, I saw that he had followed and then unfollowed me. He's not an idol."

She continued, "I checked my story highlights after a long time and saw soccer players and celebrities viewed them. But they don't usually send DMs," adding, "Instructor Jung Seungje also once liked my video and then unliked it. People can click by mystake, and after all, they're human so they might watch my videos."
