DreamNote contract termination notice

Hello, this is Idea Music Entertainment Korea.

First of all, we sincerely thank all the Pages who have shown unwavering love for DreamNote and the six members.

After sufficient discussion based on mutual trust and respect, DreamNote and iMe Korea have decided to terminate their exclusive contract as of November 7, 2025. Since their debut, DreamNote has continued to spread bright and positive energy through their music and performances.

Throughout that journey, the love and support from all Pages were always a great source of strength. We are deeply grateful for the members’ passion and effort during their time together, and we sincerely support their new beginnings in their individual paths.

Although they may now walk at a slightly different pace and on separate roads, we hope that the time spent together will remain a warm memory for all of us. To leave behind a heartfelt moment, DreamNote members have prepared a special event to spend meaningful time with Pages.

We hope that the members' sincerity will be warmly delivered to you during that time. We sincerely thank all Pages who have loved and supported DreamNote until now.

Please continue to cheer on the members warmly as they take their next steps.

All executives and employees of iMe Korea.

The stage that appears to have been their final schedule.



-I don’t know this group well, but it’s nice to see them wrapping things up meaningfully after nearly seven years. I've seen so many unsuccessful groups end on a bad note.

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah... I thought they would last a bit longer since they appeared on ISAC recentlyㅜㅜ

-They held on for a long time...

-I’ve heard their name before.

-They worked hardㅠㅠ

-Thank you for your hard work.

-I first saw them at an overseas event. They were all pretty.

-Everyone worked hard... The members, the managers, and the staff..

-I really liked DreamNote's 'Ghost'...

-DreamNote's 'Night' is a good song, you should listen to itㅜㅜ

-I saw them when they came to Hyehwa to promote their debut, and already 7 years have passed. I hope they're all happy.

-They used to practice in the basement of the company building I briefly worked at a long time ago. It's hard to believe it's ending like this.

Park Bom sues Yang Hyunsuk, agency says, "We can't control her either"

 

Park Bom's unprecedented lawsuit announcement left her agency in shock.

A representative from Park Bom's side stated in a phone call on the 22nd, "We can't control Park Bom either," and added, "We are currently checking the details of the lawsuit (against YG Ent. Chief Producer Yang Hyunsuk)."

Earlier today, Park Bom suddenly revealed via her Instagram that she had filed a lawsuit against Yang Hyunsuk, leaving the public stunned.

Park Bom wrote, "Dear citizens, please investigate exactly what YG Ent. did to Park Bom," alongside a photo of the lawsuit she claimed to have filed.

According to the document, Park Bom filed a lawsuit against Yang Hyunsuk on charges of fraud and embezzlement. She claims Yang Hyunsuk failed to apy her '64272e' trillion KRW. She also claims to have suffered severe financial loss and emotional distress, calling it a clear act of fraud and embezzlement. The complaint was reportedly dated the 19th.

Park Bom, who had been touring with 2NE1 since their reunion, is currently on hiatus due to mental health concerns. Her agency, D-Nation Ent., stated last August, "Park Bom will not be able to participate in future 2NE1 schedules. We made this decision after long discussion, as she has been advised by medical professionals to take sufficient rest and stability."

1. [+71][-0] Please go to the hospital.

2. [+48][-2] 'We can't control her either'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What kind of situation is thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like she's really lost it that even her agency can't control her. Shouldn't the members step up and try to stop her?

3. [+43][-0] At this point, shouldn’t she be hospitalized?

4. [+12][-0] Judging by the amount she wrote, isn’t this just a joke?

5. [+8][-0] In all my life, this is the first time I've seen an official statement from a company saying 'We can’t control her'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Contact info: XXX

2. Defendant:

Name: Yang Hyunsuk

Fraud and embezzlement

-What is that amount…?

-That amount… It doesn't makes any sense… Who writes a lawsuit like that?

-I’m worried about Park Bom.

-She really doesn’t seem to be in a good condition.

-Can Park Bom even read what that amount says?

-I was shocked, so I went to her Instagram. She even posted the picture without covering her own phone number... She really needs someone around her to take care of her.

-I just wish the public would pay a little less attention to her.

-What is this? Did she really file a lawsuit because she didn’t get paid properly?

-Is this a joke or what...??? It doesn't look like she got any help from a lawyer either...

-Someone needs to stop her from doing activities… This is really concerning.

-Other than ADHD, has it ever been revealed what condition she has? Judging from her actions, at least bipolar disorder…

-Park Bom clearly looks unwell. I don't understand how they still made her go on tour with that condition...

-Yang Hyunsuk is likely to file a countersuit at this point...

-Is she... not receiving treatment...?

'Is an apology enough?' ... Lee Yikyung's rumor spreader deletes account after admitting using AI

 

Social media account of netizen 'A,' who raised allegations about Lee Yikyung's private life, has been deleted.

As of the morning of October 22, the Twitter account A had been using now displays the message: 'This account doesn't exist. Try searching for another account.'

Previously, A had caused a stir by releasing screenshots of chat with someone saved as 'Actor Lee Yikyung,' claiming there were inappropriate sexual remarks. In response, Lee Yikyung's agency, Sanyoung Ent., announced, "We are preparing legal action against the spread of false information and malicious rumors recently posted and circulated on online communities and social media. Given the seriousness of this matter, we plan to pursue every possible legal measures by calculating the scale of damages resulting from the rumors."

Despite this, A had previously signaling further revelations, saying, "It wasn't for money, but to prevent harm to other women," claiming, "I'm gathering more evidence."

However, suddenly in the early morning of the 22nd, A confessed, saying "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."

A apologized, "I'm truly sorry for spreading malicious rumors about Lee Yikyung. What began as a fan admiration gradually turned into emotional overinvolvement. 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."

Netizens are now left baffled after the scandal involved accusation, deletion, confession, and now the disappearance of the social media. Although the controversy seems to have to come to an end with A's confession of fabrication, Lee Yikyung's image has already suffered severe damage.

1. [+265][-6] If he doesn't press charges, people will suspect it was settled with money and eventually, crimes like this will increase. He definitely must file a lawsuit.

2. [+218][-26] At first, she admitted the conversations were edited but claimed the chat did happen. Now suddenly, it's AI-generated?ㅋ She was paid off with money.

3. [+166][-6] I wonder what is the truth? This is shady.

4. [+30][-6] How many people will believe this?ㅎㅎ Anyway... What an embarrassing mess.

5. [+23][-3] We've seen how real victims respond, they get extremely angry and immediately sue with no mercy. Now look at what happens??

6. [+14][-3] This is how to understand what's true and what's false:
1. If his agency decides not to pursue it further after A apologizes and deletes her account -> A is telling the truth.
2. If his agency tracks A down even after she apologizes and deletes her account -> A is lying.

Hwasa hints at breakup with 12-years-older businessman boyfriend ... "There is such thing as a good goodbye"

 

Hwasa shared her thoughts on what it means to have a good breakup.

On the October 22 broadcast of SBS PowerFM Cultwo Show, Hwasa and Hong Yoonhwa appeared as guests.

Hwasa recently released her new song, 'Good Goodbye,' and has been actively promoting it. The rhythmic ballad, written and composed by Hwasa herself, combined with her soulful voice, is gaining paise for many listeners for its emotional lyrics about wishing happiness to a past lover.

During the show, Hwasa started by introducing 'Good Goodbye' as 'Hwasa-style ballad.'

She continued, "The title means a good goodbye. When I first wrote this song, many people didn't understand it, asking 'Can there be such a thing as a good goodbye?' or 'I've never had one, so I wouldn't know.' But after releasing it, many people told me, 'I haven't had a good goodbye, but I think I understand it now," expressing her pride.

Host Kim Taekyun then asked her, "Have you had a good goodbye? I'm not sure a good goodbye can exist between lovers."

Hwasa replied, "I think it can." Kim Taekyun agreed, saying, "I guess it's possible. Sometimes you can love someone, but feel stressful in a relationship with them. In that case, since they are not meant to be, it might be better to part ways."

Hwasa was previously reported in 2023 to be dating a businessman 12 years older than her for 5 years., though her agency commented at the time, "It is difficult to confirm as it is a matter of her private life."

Earlier this year, Hwasa appeared on Park Narae's Youtube channel along with model Han Hyejin, where she hinted at her breakup by saying, "Aren't all three of us single right now?"

1. [+138][-24] It's not just about lovers, it could be about friends or fans too. It's about all kinds of goodbyes where you wish the other person well. Hwasa definitely has great sensibility, this is the best of her recent songs.

2. [+103][-25] The lyrics are beautiful and it's so addictive that I keep humming it. Hwasa's deep tone really suits the autumn vibeㅎㅎ It hit Melon's TOP 10 today, so it will probably climb higher soon.

3. [+84][-23] The MV is cinematic and beautiful. As expected, Hwasa is definitely the coolest when she sings.

4. [+49][-21] World star Hwasa... Even the way she breaks up is cool.

5. [+32][-5] The song is seriously good... Like 'Maria,' the fact that she wrote the lyrics herself more makes it feel even more sincer.

6. [+29][-16] So pretty. I'm always rooting for you, Hwasa❤️

7. [+20][-3] Break ups happen, you know...

-Who keeps casting him? There are like... five billion dramas I can't watch because of him.

-He must be getting cast because there's demand for him.

-Ugh... I was a fool for getting my hopes up.

-Damn... I was looking forward to this drama, but now I can't watch it.

-I think Kim Seonho will do well.

-Nice... I've been waiting for his next projectㅋ

-First of all, he doesn't suit the role... His character is supposed to be more slender and fragile-looking...

-What did Kim Seonho do wrong? If you look at what that woman's ex-husband exposed, you'll know that she was the one with the messy relationships. People on Theqo are the only ones hating on him, that's why you guys can't understand why he's still popularㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah... I have a lot to say, but I'll just stay quiet.

-Why are they casting someone who doesn't even fit the age range and has controversy? His acting is not even that great.

-People are still making a fuss about him?? I'm so excited for this drama!!

-Are there really no other actors to cast?

-Ugh, he should just drop out from this drama.

-Well, he is a good actor, that's why he keeps getting cast.

-He's going to play a character in their 20s? It doesn't suit him at all.

-…Journalists really love adding weird labels to people.

-Uncle, please act again.

-If Wonbin said he wanted to act again, Netflix would show up in front of his house with bags of money..

-That's so freaking hilariousㅋㅋㅋ He needs to actually be active to make a Netflix debut!!

-Wonbin just chose not toㅋ What kind of stupid headline is that?

-Netflix didn’t even exist in Korea when he was active…

-She’s pretty.

-Uncle, please come back to acting, I’m begging youㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-I haven't even watched her drama, but I've seen posts calling her Wonbin's niece like five billion times.

-That's funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Tell your uncle to please start acting again.
