Wanna One's former member Lai Kuanlin shared an update on his life after retiring from the entertainment industry.

In the Mnet's 'Wanna One Go: Back to Base' released on the 5th, Ha Sungwoon visited Beijing, China, to reunite with Lai Kuanlin.

That day, Lai Kuanlin came out to meet Ha Sungwoon, and the two, meeting for the first time in seven years, shared a warm hug to celebrate their reunion. Afterward, they moved to a restaurant to catch up.

Lai Kuanlin revealed that he is currently working at a Chinese film production company that produces short films. He said, "Being a salaried worker makes me feel secure." He added, "I really like who I am now, moving forward slowly through my own efforts, rather than that feeling of becoming a singer too quickly," expressing his satisfaction.

Surprised by Lai Kuanlin's fluent Korean, Ha Sungwoon asked, "Why is your Korean still so good?" to which Lai Kuanlin replied, "It's because I still have lingering feelings for Korea." He then revealed a tattoo of Wanna One's debut date, August 7th, saying, "If anyone asked me to name a date worth to celebrate, I'd say August 7th," touching viewers.

Meanwhile, Lai Kuanlin debuted in 2017 as a member of Wanna One through Mnet's audition program 'Produce 101 Season 2.' After winning a legal dispute over his exclusive contract with Cube Entertainment in 2021, he continued his entertainment activities in China before changing his career path to become a director.

According to the broadcast at the time, Noh Seulbi experienced school violence and domestic abuse during her school years, and later she met a man through an online fortune-telling consultation. He approached her, saying, "We are fated to be a married couple," which led her to leave home and start living with him. However, she later suffered abuse from him and became pregnant at 19 because he refused to use contraception. After giving birth, their relationship collapsed and she even got contacted by the woman he was having an affair with.

Eventually, Noh Seulbi left with her daughter, received a spiritual calling, and became a shaman. She is currently raising her daughter alone while working as a shaman.

A photo of actress Ji Yeeun and dancer Vata together has been revealed for the first time since they confirmed their relationship.

On the 6th, photos and videos showing Ji Yeeun and Vata attending an event were shared across social media and online communities.

In the photos, the two are seen enjoying their time together at the event. Ji Yeeun wore a red checkered shirt paired with jeans, while Vata paired a gray cardigan with jeans. They appeared to be attending a charity event for Children's Day.

In the video, Ji Yeeun and Vata were also seen doing AKMU's 'Paradise of Rumors' challenge. As they performed the cute choreography to the rhythm, Ji Yeeun showed a shy smile, while Vata drew attention by keeping an eye on her moves.

Ji Yeeun also played a game similar to something from 'Running Man,' trying to pass through a hula hoop while wearing swimfin. Vata, who was next in line after Ji Yeeun, watched from behind with a concerned look, as if he worried she might fall.

The netizen who posted the video commented, "Unnie was so cute. She told Vata-nim that she was my fan and even bragged about me to him."

This is the first time the couple has been spotted together since confirming their relationship on the 13th of last month. Both born in 1994, Ji Yeeun and Vata reportedly grew close through shared interests and religion. After the dating rumors surfaced, their agencies quickly confirmed, stating, "The two, who had been colleagues, developed mutual feelings and are now dating. We ask for your warm support."

After confirming their relationship, a past online post claiming the two attended the same church and developed into couple gained attention. Additionally, a video of Ji Yeeun doing a dance challenge with Vata at Waterbomb Seoul 2025 also gained attention again.
