Sandara Park: "I lied about my age and dated a 14-year-old boy" ... Takes down the video following controversy

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/609/0000953067

 In May of last year, a video of Sandara Park and Gong Minzy going on a trip to the Philippines together was posted on Sandara Park's YouTube channel 'DARA TV'.

In the video, Sandara Park shared a story about dating a 14-year-old boy before her debut. She explained, “A guy came up to me and asked for my number. He was so cute, so I gave him my number. But then he told me he was 14 years old.” She continued, "At the time, I was 19 and just about to debut. I lied and said I was 16, and we went on a few dates.” They enjoyed dates such as playing games and watching movies together, but as Sandara Park debuted in 2NE1 and her real age was revealed on broadcast, the relationship ended.

Sandara Park's remarks sparked controversy, particularly among international netizens from cultural backgrounds sensitive to issues related to minors. Netizens criticized, “It’s strange for a 19-year-old to be attracted to a 14-year-old, “How could she lie about her age and date a minor?”

The production team, aware of these reactions, deleted the video and also announced plans for legal action. They stated, “We have re-edited parts of the video that could potentially be misunderstood depending on cultural perspectives.” They also requested, “Please refrain from baseless speculation, unfounded rumors, and malicious comments directed at the artist. Any actions that defame her character will be met with firm legal action.”

-Uh... 19 and 14... that's just... weird.

-Why is she talking about this now...? I don't know about 20 years ago, but it's a super sensitive topic nowadays.

-She said it herself and now she's taking legal action?ㅋㅋㅋ

-"Any actions that defame her character will be met with firm legal action"??? I think she was the one who damaged her own reputation...

-They didn’t edit that part out and just posted it as is?

-She's talking about that like it's something to brag about...

-If it was a male idol, the internet would’ve gone absolutely wild.

-To people who say it's okay because they were both minors... ㅋㅋㅋ That's a 12th grader and a 7th graderㅋㅋㅋ

-She must've known it wasn't okay, that’s why she lied about her age.

-Is she out of her mind?

-So thoughtless

-Didn't she lie about her age because she herself thought it was wrong in the first place? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That's so expensiveㅜ

-It's G-Dragon, not just any other singer. I can understand the slightly higher price. It's going to sell out anywayㅋㅋ I can't wait alreadyㅠㅠ

-The price is just as gangster-ish as HYBE.

-That's expensive as f*ck. How do ticket prices keep going up?

-I heard his solo album is going to have 13 different versions. He's going to make a lot of money.

-Going to concerts is becoming burdensome these daysㅠ I don't think I can't go to concerts (unless my bias' concerts) anymore because the tickets are so expensiveㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Ah.. Everything except my salary keeps going up.

-I don't know much about concerts, but weren’t ticket prices in South Korea set too low in the first place? Even in Southeast Asia, where the economy isn't as strong as ours, tickets cost hundreds of thousands of won.

-Why is it more expensive than international artists? Oh Gosh.

-Isn't it really ridiculous to charge more than 200,000 KRW (~$138)....?? If you buy five tickets, it's over 1 million KRW (~$692) already...

-I can't go to concerts anymore. They've become too expensive.

-Fine, if it's too expensive, don’t come. I'll go insteadㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn't this normal since it's G-Dragon???? I personally think it's reasonable.

-Please stop raising pricesㅠㅠ

-HYBE ruined everything.

Starship to organize their management into three divisions to maintain the artists' unique colors while promoting domestically and globally

 Since 2024, Starship Ent. has been focusing on strengthening their support for each artist by establishing a multi-producing system and segmented management system: Division 1 (K.Will, Monsta X, IVE), Division 2 (WJSN, CRAVITY), and Division 3 (Kiikii). This system is established to maintain the artists' unique colors while actively promoting them domestically and globally, also creating synergy between the teams.

theqoo

-Don't act up...

-Wow, this is like a big corporation move...

-Are they out of their minds putting Monsta X and IVE together? IVE is a group that needs separate management, especially after their poor planning last year, which was the worst. Now they’re adding Monsta X? How are they going to handle them all? They're truly the worst.

-IVE, Cravity, Kiikii... Are they organizing it by their active artists...? Isn't Monsta X's going to be back from their military hiatus soon? Division 1 is going to be really busy then.

-Why did they put WJSN in there...? They're basically disbanded at this point

-They should’ve made a separate division just for IVE. What are they even thinking?

-They're copying JYP and SM.

-Why put Monsta X and IVE in the same division....?

-So Division 1 is the only one working?? That's so baised.

-Starship is acting up. Then what about Division 2? Are they not going to work??

-Looks like only Division 1 will be working............ Division 2... Don't get me wrong, I love WJSN, but they're not even active...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Who came up with this? They should’ve managed Monsta X and IVE separately... How are they supposed to handle both in one division?

-Monsta X's military hiatus ends this year, wouldn't Division 1 be overworked?

-At least let WJSN have some promotions

-They don’t even have enough staff, what’s the point of dividing into divisions?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The announcement posted by the agency of 4 BTOB members in response to fans request to use a sub-unit name

Fans requested them to create a separate sub-unit name because the 4 members are not promoting as a full group

First, we would like to address the naming of BTOB's activities.

To protect the value of the name 'BTOB,' BTOB Company has managed and acquired the trademark rights through smooth consultation. This allows us to continue group activities under the team name 'BTOB.'

Currently, Seo Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Im Hyunsik, and Peniel are currently leading activities under the name 'BTOB' with the desire to protect the group name. Through this decision, all activities under BTOB Company will continue to be conducted under the team name 'BTOB,' and we have decided not to use a separate unit name for activities that do not involve the full group.

We would like to inform you that this decision was made after much consideration of the special meaning of the team name 'BTOB' and the desire to preserve its value for the long term. In addition, this is just a form of activity that is carried out according to the current situations and schedules of the members. We want to assure fans that BTOB is always ready to promote as a full group whenever possible.

While waiting for the moment when all members can be together under the name of BTOB, we, BTOB Company, will do our best to support the growth of the group.

FYI, this company wasn't established by the members. They all left their previous agency and split into 4/1/1. The agency that the 4 members joined named their label 'BTOB Company.'

After this, the Japanese fan club was changed from 6 members to 4 without prior notice (it’s a paid membership, and no refunds were given, which caused quite an uproar) 

BTOB's Japanese Fanclub Website right now:

Only 4 members are listed in the group’s introduction.

This is the behavior of the agency that will be in charge of the group if they do complete group activities with 6 members.

+They even excluded the group’s debut date from the Season’s Greetings. When fans complained, they tried to make up for it by sending stickers afterward.

theqoo

-The company is even excluding the members from photoshoots?? Their management is really strange.

-What's wrong with them...?

-Personally, I can understand the four members using the name 'BTOB' instead of creating a separate unit name. But the company's attitude that subtly excludes the remaining 2 members somehow feels off...

-This feels wrong… They should just use a unit name.

-It's really strange for them not to use a unit nameㅋㅋ It's not like the other 2 members left the group anyway. So how are they going to distinguish this from the full-groups activities?

-I get that the 4 members can use the name 'BTOB' since they're members of BTOB anyway (And it was also agreed upon). But it's strange that they left out the other 2 members from their Japanese website.

-The company is so strange.

-But why do they have to use a unit name?

-Aren’t the 2 other members pretty popular? What’s wrong with this company?

-It's not like the other 2 members left the group... So why are they being left out?

-Isn’t this just because they’re in different companies?

-I personally think it’s just unavoidable... Just a personal opinion, though.

-They’re not promoting as a full group, so why not use a unit name?

-The 2 didn’t leave the group, so why are they being excluded? This company is so disrespectful and clueless.

I bought a Max Changmin's Lucky Card and got hit with the harsh truth...ㅠㅠ

 

Lucky Card

Luck doesn't come to you just because you possess this 'lucky card.' You already know that very well.
Don't think of it as some 'stroke of luck' you randomly encounter. Such things don't happen easily.
Let's do our best in our own positions so that 'luck' can come to us. And when we do come across 'luck,' let's not forget to be grateful.

This guy must have a disease where he dies if he says something wrong...ㅠㅜ

theqoo

-There’s no way he’s an F. I hope he retakes the MBTI test...

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I love this kind of stuff. I want to have this card even though I'm not a fan.

-As an ISTJ, I'm touched. This is what true advice is.

-Excuse me, this is a 'lucky card.' You're being tooo harsh. Please help me so that luck can come my wayㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh, I like itㅋㅋㅋ

-But this oppa is an F ㅠㅠ

-As I become a fan, I realized that he's such a righteous and smart manㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He wasn't my bias when I was younger, but as an adult... I think he's the real deal.

-Is it because I’m a T that I find this so great..? It sounds like really wise words.

-He's so f*cking meanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are we getting scolded here?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I kinda want that card now.

-Honestly, if another idol wrote that, they'd be getting hateㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ajusshi....

-I actually like itㅋㅋ This is so much more better than drawing weird stuff on 'lucky cards.'

-I can hear Changmin’s voice through that card… Does this card come with a voice recording or what?

Pictures of Cha Junhwan as a child actor resurface online

 

theqoo

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So f*cking cute

-He was an actor?

-You can come back to acting whenever you want. I'll be waiting.

-Come back to acting anytime.

-I think I've seen him in commercials too. He was such a cute kid.

-Please come back to acting after you retire from figure skating.

-I can't believe he was a child actor... I think he'll become a great actor when he retires.

-He has always been handsome since he was youngㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ So adorable and chubbyㅠㅠㅠ

-Acting careers last long, so I'll be waiting...

-Junhwan-ah, I'll be waiting...

-Experiencing different things helps your acting to be more realistic~~ So after retiring from figure skating, you can come back to acting.

-No... Junhwan promised to do figure skating until he's 80ㅠ

-You can act even at 100 years old. Do everything you want first before coming back to acting. I will be waiting for you.

-Acting careers last long. He should fulfill all of his dreams as an athlete first and then maybe think about coming back to acting later...?

-Prince, after you retire, please film at least a romantic comedy drama... If you don't like romance, then historical dramas or any other genres are okay. Please.

-It’s so funny how Junhwan's child actor days are being dug up again after winning a gold medalㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
