  A video circulating rapidly on social media sparked criticism toward THE BOYZ member Sunwoo, with comments stating he was “impolite” and “didn’t pick up the item he dropped himself.” In Korean culture, it is considered respectful to receive items with both hands, so Sunwoo’s behavior was perceived by many as disrespectful. Nana, a former member of the girl group After School and now an actress, publicly criticized Sunwoo by commenting on the video, saying, “He needs to be scolded,” and “You can tell a lot from one small thing.” Her remarks sparked a heated exchange between her and Sunwoo’s … 더 보기 →

The controversy involving BoA and Jun Hyun-moo began on April 5, 2025, during an impromptu live broadcast on Jun Hyun-moo’s personal social media account. During the stream, BoA appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, with a flushed face and somewhat blunt and rough behavior. She was seen leaning on Jun Hyun-moo’s shoulder and touching his cheek, which was considered overly familiar physical contact. When a viewer asked about past dating rumors between Jun Hyun-moo and comedian Park Na-rae, BoA responded, “They would never date,” adding, “Jun Hyun-moo is too good for Park Na-rae.” This comment was interpreted as … 더 보기 →

In South Korea, critics of NewJeans (NJZ) argue that the group only succeeded because of HYBE’s financial backing (21 billion KRW), its status as a major corporation, and the image of being BTS’s “younger sister group.” They claim that NewJeans is ungrateful and betraying the company that made them.   But these critics seem unable to distinguish between investment and charity. HYBE is not a charity organization that generously bestowed kindness upon Min Hee-jin and the NewJeans members—it is a company that invests in idols to generate profit. Isn’t it only natural for a company to make investments to ensure future … 더 보기 →

 According to NewJeans’ parents, whenever the members encountered Bang Si-hyuk at the company, he ignored their greetings and looked away.   The members reportedly felt awkward and stood still in the elevator after being ignored, sensed that he was pretending not to see them, or even felt that he was deliberately avoiding them—this wasn’t just a one-time occurrence.   When the parents raised concerns about this, HYBE reportedly explained that Bang Si-hyuk might have ‘face blindness’ (prosopagnosia).   Looking back on this now, something seems very strange.   When someone greets you, isn’t it more natural to respond, especially if you don’t recognize them?   … 더 보기 →

 NewJeans members declared that they would terminate their contracts, citing mistreatment, discrimination, and breaches of contract by HYBE and ADOR, and have since begun independent activities. ADOR, on the other hand, insists that they have done everything they were supposed to and expressed their hope that the NewJeans members would return to ADOR. However, looking at the situation, something seems very strange. ADOR has never properly addressed or resolved the issues that NewJeans has raised or claimed to have suffered from. They have never even shown any real effort to do so. Instead, they have merely shifted responsibility and made … 더 보기 →

 NJZ (NewJeans) Announces Temporary Hiatus During Hong Kong Performance   On the night of the 23rd, after finishing their final stage at ComplexCon Hong Kong, held at AsiaWorld-Expo in Lantau, Hong Kong, the members of NewJeans each held a note and read a message.   Hyein expressed her heavy heart, saying, “It really pains me to deliver this news. Today’s performance might be our last for a while. We have decided to temporarily halt all activities out of respect for the court’s ruling. It was not an easy decision, but we believe it is a necessary one at this moment.”   Minji added, … 더 보기 →

On the 21st, the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of ADOR, granting the agency’s request for an injunction to preserve its status as the exclusive management company and to prohibit NJZ members from signing independent advertising contracts.   Previously, in November of last year, the five NJZ (NewJeans) members claimed that ADOR had violated their exclusive contract, leading them to terminate it and begin independent activities. In response, ADOR filed for an injunction to prevent this.   The basis of NJZ’s claim that ADOR breached their contract is the breakdown of trust, citing the following … 더 보기 →
