-Ah, really disappointing. Do you know how much was I looking forward to it?
-I knew the title seemed off. He's definitely not coming back to the screen. He probably has a lot of money, he never seemed committed to acting anyway.
-He should've kept his handsome face on screen a bit longer...ㅠㅠ At this point, it's almost like retirementㅠㅠ
NewJeans becomes the first K-pop girl group to take the stage at Gyeongbokgung Palace's Geunjeongjeon Hall.
As part of the '2024 Korea On Stage - New Generation' event, organized by the Cultural Heritage Administration and sponsored by the National Heritage Promotion Institute and KBS Korean Broadcasting, a special stage will be held in front of Heungnyemun Gate at Gyeongbokgung Palace on the 21st. Recently, NewJeans completed a special stage pre-recording at Geunjeongjeon Hall.
Geunjeongjeon Hall is a significant royal palace building where major state ceremonies were held during the Joseon Dynasty and is currently designated as a national treasure. It is rare for a public performance to take place in the area since the opening of Gyeongbokgung Palace in 1954, making the decision to open Geunjeongjeon Hall for NewJeans, a leading force in K-pop, particularly noteworthy.
NewJeans, as the first K-pop girl group to perform a special stage at Geunjeongjeon Hall, is scheduled to present a unique performance of "Cool With You" on that day.
In particular, they showcased Korean beauty through specially designed hanbok costumes, including unique dan-sam jeogori (short jacket), sran-chima (wrap skirt), and dae-ran chima (long skirt) reinterpreted for this stage, along with traditional-style shoes and goddess-inspired hair accessories. Additionally, they incorporated a fantastic performance that illuminates the night scenery of Geunjeongjeon Hall, aiming to convey both the greatness of national heritage and the prominence of K-pop simultaneously.
NewJeans expressed, "It's truly an honor to perform on the stage of Gyeongbokgung Palace's Geunjeongjeon, a precious heritage of our country. It feels like it will be a memory that lasts a long time. Through this opportunity, we hope that many people will take an interest in our national heritage."
KBS stated, "NewJeans' special stage at Geunjeongjeon is not only an opportunity to introduce the beauty and value of our national heritage but also expected to be a catalyst for promoting Korean culture worldwide in the future."
-They look so beautiful, and the outfits really suit the "Cool With You" concept.
-It's like a fairy tale... feels like virtual reality, so, so beautiful.
-Absolutely elegant.
-It's a shame Hyein isn't there, but still, it's cool.
-They all look like fairies, but it's a pity that a member is missing...
-They're like fairies, so pretty 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
-NewJeans are really pretty ♡♡♡♡♡ It's a shame Hyein isn't here, hope she gets better soonㅠㅠ
-Oh my goodness... so beautiful.
-Wow, they're so beautiful...
-So beautiful, the hanbok suits them perfectly.
-Oh, it seems the youngest member injured her leg and couldn't participate. It's such a pity because it's a really special stageㅠㅠ Hope she recovers soon and can perform with them.
-Wasn't this the place where BTS performed before???
-They all look like fairiesㅠㅠ The clothes are so beautifulㅠㅠ It's a shame Hyein isn't hereㅠㅠㅠ
Kep1er is reborn. According to Star News' exclusive coverage on the 16th, Kep1er has been confirmed to continue activities with 7 members. Kang Yeseo and Mashiro will depart from Kep1er and join their original company, 143 Ent, where they will be added as new members of girl group 'Lime Light'.
Aespa's pre-recording has been canceled due to a fire at MCountdown site. According to multiple officials, the fire occurred this morning (16th) in a studio onside CJ ENM Center Building. It is reported that the fire was caused by an issue with the filming set.
Due to this incident, and Winter recently suffering from pneumothorax, the members who were present at the site complained of poor condition, resulting in the cancellation of Aespa's pre-recording.
Karina: I'm so relieved that no one got hurt🍀💗 Thank you so, so, so much for coming to support us since early morningㅠㅠㅠ Thanks to you all, we felt so energized for our first comeback stage. You guys rocked the fan chants perfectly, I'm so proud. Since you guys passed this mission, next time, we'll have you guys sing (just kidding~)
Aespa is okay. Minjeong asks for support rather than worry!
+They did the recording and it will be broadcast as planned!
-Oh no... inhaling that smoke can make you dizzy...
-Oh Gosh, I hope no one was hurt
-Winter had trouble breathing... Is she okay? The members and fans there must have inhaled smoke too. What is happening?
-Everyone must have been so shockedㅠ
-Minjeong, I’m so worriedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ and the other members tooㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Are the members and everyone on site okay?ㅠㅠ
-They did record but had to stop and come down ㅇㅇ I hope Aespa's members get plenty of rest
-Oh no, Winterㅠㅠㅠ
-They did the recording but there might not be any fancams
-That's a relief
-Oh Gosh, it's a relief no one got hurt
-They finished the recording but stopped after that. They usually do multiple pre-recordings but decided to use the first one and ended it.
-This must be a good sign; they’re going to be super successful.
-It was written as if the stage was completely canceled, but it wasn’t. They did the recording but couldn’t do more. They usually do several pre-recordings ㅇㅇ.. I’m more concerned because Winter had surgery recently ㅜㅜ The other members must have been shocked too, but it’s a relief there was no major accident. I hope they get plenty of rest.
