Jeon Somin revealed the reason why she has decided not to have children.

On the 11th, a video titled "Even after a long time, we're still the same, aren't we?" was posted on the Youtube channel 'Jeeseokjin World.'

On this day, Ji Sukjin, Lee Sangyeob, Jeon Somin, and Lee Mijoo traveled to Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do. They visited various attractions, including Namnhansanseong, and naturally shared stories about their daily lives.

During the trip, when Ji Sukjin asked if he had breakfast, Lee Sangyeob replied, "My wife made pumpkin porridge. She prepares breakfast every morning."

Sangyeob's love story. Hearing this, Lee Mijoo and Jeon Somin expressed their admiration, saying, "That's amazing," and "Isn't she incredibly gorgeous?" JI Sukjin also brought up the topic of children naturally, saying, "If you have a baby, it'll be very cute."

Lee Sangyeob replied, "I like daughters," and Ji Sukjin immediately asked Jeon Somin, "Once you get married, are you going to have a son and a daughter?"

Jeon Somin hesitated for a moment before firmly replied, "Oppa, that's not the case. I'm just going to live happily as a couple. I'm going to end the bloodline."

She also shared the realistic reason behind her decision, saying, "I'm 41. When would I give birth and raise a child? It's hard." The members burst into laughter at her comment but also symphatized with her comment.

Ji Sukjin joked, "Still, you should have a baby that looks like you," but Jeon Somin responded playfully, "I'll have to discuss that with my future husband," wrapping up the situation.

Meanwhile, Jeon Somin had previously expressed her thoughts about giving up on marriage during a convorsation with her close friend, Kim Jiseok, saying, "Do I really have to get married? Even if I fail, should I try it? Everyone else does it. Will I feel a sense of loss if I don't do it?"

This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.

On 'My Little Old Boy,' Kim Heechul decided to get back behind the wheel after avoiding driving for about 20 yars following a serious car accident.

On the episode of SBS' 'My Little Old Boy' that aired on the 12th, Tak Jaehoon and Heo Kyunghwan stepped in as one-day driving instructors for Kim Heechul, who has a long-unused driver's license.

Leaving behind his past as someone with unused license, Kim Heechul began taking driving lessons again. The reason he chose to learn to drive again after 20 years was none other than his 'future child.'

Kim Heechul said, "My future baby. I'm going to name them Rua," and explained that he wants to personally pick up his child in the future. To help him overcome his long break from driving, Tak Jaehoon and Heo Kyunghwan took on the role of reliable supporters and stepped in as one-day instructors.

Once Kim Heechul got into the car for his lesson, he looked visibly nervous. He buckled his seatbelt and started the engine, but he couldn't hide his panic upon seeing the modern dial-type gear system. Expecting the old-fashioned gear stick, he joked, "Back in my day, it was like this," drawing laughter as he expressed his shock at how much car technology has changed.

Previously, in 2006, Kim Heechul suffered a major car accident while returning home after attending the funeral of fellow member Donghae's father. At the time, he underwent major surgery to insert seven metal pins due to fractures in his thigh and ankle. As a result of the accident, he was classified with a Grade 4 physical disability.

Meanwhile, on the same day, a post was uploaded to SBS' official Instagram in real time during filming, saying, "Please vote for the pottery piece you want among the seven works made by the cast members themselves."

The pottery works made by the cast members were then revealed, and Ji Yeeun's piece drew attention with its title: "Yeeun, whose face turned into a heart because she fell in love."

Earlier that day, Ji Yeeun confirmed her relationship with Vata. Her agency, CP Entertainment stated, "The two, who have been colleagues, developed mutual feelings and are now in a relationship. We ask for your warm support."

Ji Yeeun and Vata, who are both born in 1994, reportedly went from being church friends to lovers. Vata created the choreography for 'Milkshake' by the due 'Chungju Ji-ssi' (Ji Yeeun and Ji Sukjin), and suported them when they performed on stage at Waterbomb Seoul 2025.

On the 4th, a video featuring IU and Byun Wooseok was released on the Youtube channel 'Ddeun Ddeun.'

In the comment section of the video, there are numerous heartwarming stories about Byun Wooseok. Someone who claimed to have worked as a manager on the set of the drama 'Live Up to Your Name,' in which Byun Wooseok had a minor role in, commented, "At the time, Byun Wooseok hadn't made it big yet. I was about to quit my job as a manager to start something else. After the schedule, we had a coffee at a cafe and he told me, "Hyung, I hope you do well. Let's meet again when we've both succeeded.' He was such a kind actor. I'm really happy to see him succeed now."

The person continued, "Wooseok-ah, even though I failed and probably can't keep the promise to meet again after succeeding, I'm so glad you made it. I will keep rooting for you to become an even more successful actor in South Korea! Fighting!"

Another person who claimed to be Byun Wooseok's junior from the military also shared a story. The commenter, identified himself as Byun Wooseok's junior from the 37th Division Headquarters, recalled, "At the time, I was a private first class and he was a sergeant. On the day he was discharged, I was going through a difficult time in the second-floor shower room, and even though we were in different platoons, he said something to me that I still remember."

He added, "He told me, 'Don't overthink things right now. I know how hard you're working, so things will get better soon. Hang in there, I'm heading out.' Those words were a huge source of strength throughout my military service. I was truly grateful then. I hope he becomes even happier. Salute."

As these stories flood in, netizens are reacting with comments like, "He must've really lived a good life," "He seems like a genuinely good person," and "There's a reason he succeeded. As expected, things will turn out good for people who are kind."

Meanwhile, Byun Wooseok will meet viewers through the new MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which premieres on the 10th.

CBX parts way with their agency again ... Notify contract termination to INB100 after SM Ent.

EXO's sub-unit, CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) has notifies their agency, INB100, of the termination of their exclusive contracts.

According to a report by The Fact on the 10th, CBX sent a notice of contract termination to INB100's CEO Cha Gawon at the end of March. The group requested payment of unpaid earnings and an explanation regarding the alleged contract violations, but stated that they have not received a satisfactory answer even after two weeks. In response, CEO Cha Gawon's side stated, "We will resolve the issue of unpaid earnings, even if it means we have to receive additional investment or use personal funds."

INB100 is a label established by Baekhyun as he prepared to become independent from SM Entertainment. In May 2024, it became a subsidiary label under One Hundred, led by CEO Cha Gawon.

Prior to CBX's departure, a broader wave of artists have left One Hundred. Starting with Taemin, followed by nine members of THE BOYZ (excluding New), VIVIZ, Lee Mujin, BE'O, and Lee Seunggi, multiple artists have successively notified the company of contract terminations, citing reasons such as unpaid earnings, lack of support for entertainment activities, and unpaid payments to external vendors.

This also marks the second agency dispute for CBX. Previously in 2023, they were in a conflict with SM Entertainment over the failure to provide settlement data and unfair contract terms. Afterward, Baekhyun established INB100 and pursued independent activities. However, after mostly losing in legal battles and now facing another dispute with INB100, they are assumed to have suffered both financial losses and damage to their image.

A full-group comeback for EXO remains uncertain. While CBX expressed their desire to participate in EXO's activities in last October, SM Entertainment stated, "The agreement to end the dispute and group activities are separate matters," drawing a clear line.

Several new songs by T.O.P (Choi Seunghyun), former member of BIGBANG and now singer and actor, have failed to pass broadcasting reviews.

According to the results of KBS' review released on the 8th, 7 out of the 11 tracks on T.O.P's 1st full-length album 'ANOTHER DIMENSION,' released on the 3rd, were judged unfit.

First, 'Be Solid' and 'Another Dimension Holy Dude !!!!!!!!' were deemed unfit due to 'lyrics containing profanity, slang, and vulgar expressions.'

Additionally, 'For Fans,' 'Seoul Chaos,' 'Desperado,' 'OVAYA,' and 'The Giant' were judged suitable and passed the review.

Songs that receive an 'unfit' ruling from KBS can be resubmitted for review after editing or deleting the problematic parts.

G-Dragon turns his agency's deficit into a surplus ... A look at how much he earned = 200 billion KRW + more in one year

BIGBANG's G-Dragon has recorded astronomical earnings.

On the 6th, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, revealed its business performance. According to the report, Galaxy Corporation achieved 298.8 billion KRW in revenue for the Q4 of 2025, recording a growth rate of 619% compared to the same period the previous year. G-Dragon played a major role in turning the company profitable after posting an operating loss of 18.8 billion KRW last year.

Galaxy Corporation stated, "The success of G-Dragon's world tour stands at the center of this explosive growth. The overwhelming market power of this global IP led directly to these financial results, allowing us to escape past deficits and achieve a full turnaround with 12.5 billion KRW in operating profit."

In 2025, G-Dragon announced his long-awaited comeback with his 3rd full-length solo album, 'Übermensch.' Led by the title track 'Too Bad,' every song on the album ranked highly on domestic and international music charts. It sold over 600,000 copies on the first day of release and 1 million copies in its cumulative sales for 2025.

Riding this momentum, G-Dragon went on a large-scale world tour. Starting at Goyang Stadium, he performed 39 shows across 12 countries, including Tokyo and Osaka (Japan), Bulacan (Philippines), Macau, Sydney and Melbourne (Australia), Taipei (Taiwan), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Jakarta (Indonesia), Hong Kong, New Ark, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles (USA), Paris (France), and Hanoi (Vietnam), drawing approximately 825,000 attendees. This is the largest world tour audience ever for a Korean solo artist.

According to Billboard Boxscore and other sources, the first 22 shows alone are estimated to have earned about 71.8 million USD (about 96 billion KRW).

For the Goyang Stadium shows alone, G-Dragon drew around 68,000 attendees over two days. Ticket pricees ranged from 144,000 KRW for restricted-view seats to 220,000 KRW for VIP seats. Based on average prices, ticket sales for the two days are estimated to exceed 12 billion KRW. Notably, the show in Newark is estimated to have earned about 27.1 million USD (36 billion KRW), making it one of the single-location performances with the highest revenue records.

Overall, ticket sales from the entire tour are estimated to be between 180 billion and 190 billion KRW. This is the largest tour revenue in the history of Korean solo artists. Including merchandise and pop-up store sales, the total revenue estimated b y the industry reached at least 150 billion to 200 billion KRW.

Additionally, considering his annual royalties in the tens of billions of KRW, his role as a Chanel ambassador, other advertising activities, and collaborations involving his own fashion brand and F&B products, the industry believes that G-Dragon's total earnings are truly astronomical.

As a 'walking conglomerate,' G-Dragon is now launching a full-group project to celebrate BIGBANG's 20th debut anniversary. As he mentioned during a fan meeting in February, "We will begin warming up for the 20th debut anniversary starting in April." G-Dragon will perform at Coachella, the largest music festival in the U.S., on the 12th and 19th alongside Taeyang and Daesung. Afterward, they will connect with global fans through a world tour.

BJ Juice Seyeon: "I made 1 billion KRW last year ... Met a famous actor twice"

SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) BJ Juice Seyeon revealed her income.

On the 3rd, Juice Seyeon appeared as a guest on the 14th episode of 'AK! CAST' released on the Youtube channel 'Beautiful Nerd.'

In the video, when asked, "How do you split your revenue with your agency?" she replied, "I don't split my income from SOOP or Youtube. We only split my incomes from filming or advertisements. I feel sorry for the CEO, but since I have already been doing well in SOOP and Youtube, I wouldn't have signed the contract if I had to split my income from those two platforms."

When asked, "Don't you split your income from star balloons (NB: donations) with your agency?" Juice Seyeon responded, "That would be crazy," adding, "SOOP already takes 20% from the donations. Normally, regular BJs get 60%, best BJs get 70%, and partner BJs get 80%."

Juice Seyeon stated, "There was a time when my average annual income was 3 billion KRW. On my birthday, I earned 100 million KRW in a single day just from the donations. But that was two years ago. That was when I was earning well. I don't make that much now. It's gradually decreasing," adding, "I earned 100 billion KRW last year."

She also mentioned, "I once ran into a famous actor by chance and we made eye contact. Then we crossed paths once again. Usually, people with many followers or a blue verification badge show up first in your notifications, right? But one day, I saw that he had followed and then unfollowed me. He's not an idol."

She continued, "I checked my story highlights after a long time and saw soccer players and celebrities viewed them. But they don't usually send DMs," adding, "Instructor Jung Seungje also once liked my video and then unliked it. People can click by mystake, and after all, they're human so they might watch my videos."

"I cried without making a sound" ... DAY6's Wonpil reveals his inner thoughts through 'UNPILTERED'

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:34:44 +0000

DAY6's Wonpil is returning with a new album that captures his unrefined, raw self. This first mini-album is deeply imbued with Wonpil's colors that have never seen before.

Recently, Wonpil held an interview at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of his first solo mini-album, 'UNPILTERED.'

The mini-album 'UNPILTERED' is his first release in about four years since his first solo album, 'PILMOGRAPHY.' Wonpil focused on naturally portraying his true, unfiltered self in this album.

The title track, 'Highs and Lows,' expresses the complex emotions within Wonpil at the time of writing under the name of 'love.' Wonpil came up with the title himself. He explained, "We endure a lot while living. It's hard to express everything honestly while living in society. We have to hide our struggles and can't show when we're hurting. I wondered what it would be like to have a place where we could open up and speak freely. As I compose melodies and write the lyrics, I listen to the track repeatedly. The synth sound felt like a siren. In that moment, the phrase 'Love Ward' came to my mind." (NB: The literal translation of the title track ('Highs and Lows') is 'Love Ward')

He also shared the story behind choosing the album title. Following his first album 'PILMOGRAPHY,' his name 'Pil' is once again included in the title. Wonpil explained, "I thought a lot about whether to include 'Pil' again. I wondered if it doing it again would be too much since I already used it before. And if I come up with another album, would I include 'Pil' again? After much thought and discussion with the company, we concluded that 'UNPILTERED' would be good. To the public and fans, I might always look like I'm smiling and without pain, so I wanted to show a different side of myself. Everything shown in this album is also me."

Known for his delicate expressions that resonates with listeners, Wonpil is credited on every track in his new album, including the title track. He shared, "I prepared a lot because I wanted to show a new side of myself. I'm also checking the reactions to the released content. I'm grateful that people are responding well. Since only short previews have been released, I'm both excited and nervous to see how people react when they hear the full album. The tracklist order was finalized around mid-January. Since then, I've been listening to it every single night without missing a day. I kept listening because I wondered if people would enjoy it. To be honest, I still feel that way. Both fear and excitement."

Wonpil said he wanted to try various things through this album. He said, "I wanted to hear people say they never expected this kind of music from DAY6 or from me." He added, "I tried to show sides of myself I haven't shown even in concept photos or music videos before. While filming the concept film, although it was acting, I cried a lot. It was my first time crying like that during a shoot, but it was fun."

The new concept film captures a new side of Wonpil that is rarely seen before. He shared, "I'm originally someone who thinks a lot. I often wonder 'Am I doing something wrong?' 'Would it have been better if I said something different?' 'What could I have done to make things better?' At night, I often have these thoughts alone. Even when I cry alone, I hold back the sound. It's been a habit since I was young. Through this shoot, I was able to release a lot of that. I cried out lout and even screamed refreshingly. It made me realize that I can do that too." However, he added, "I still can't do that in reality. I was only able to do it because the stage was set for me."

Wonpil is still in the process of discovering who he is, and this process is fully reflected in the album. The third track is titled 'Already Grown Up.' Wonpil explained, "When you become an adult, you have to compromise with reality. You can't live doing everything you want to do. You have to trim parts of yourself through social life and experiences. That's what the song is about."

What does 'being an adult' mean to Wonpil? He said, "Someone who pretends. Pretending you're not struggling, pretending things are not hard. That's what I think being an adult is. As you grow, you have more to lose, so you develop a sense of responsibility. There comes a moment when you become afraid of losing things." He added, "I don't think I'm an adult yet."

His fellow members not only responded positively to the new album, but also actively shared their opinions. Wonpil said, "I let the members listen to the songs after they were finished. Sungjin Hyung said, 'This is so new. It's really good.' That is a big compliment coming from him, so I thought, 'This works. Okay.' There was a time when I was hesitating before this song became the title track. I played it for Young K Hyung and he told me this should be the title among the seven tracks. Dowoon was also like 'I think it's this one.' We all thought the same."

DAY6, the band Wonpil is in, celebrated their 10th debut anniversary last y ear. When asked about their vision for the 15th or 20th anniversary, Wonpil replied, "I've imagined it a lot. As a joke, we often said we should perform even if we're in wheelchairs and on IV drips. We want to keep making music together for a long time. I'm looking forward to our 15th and 20th anniversaries too. I wonder what kind of music we'll be making then. I want to make cool music even then. Music that is trendy, yet fits that age."

Influencer Freezia (Song Jia) personally addressed the controversy over her remarks on Galaxy phones.

In a Youtube video posted on the 29th, Freezia said, "In my last video, I was asked about my preference between Galaxy and iPhone. I didn't expect it to become such a big issue," referring to the controversy.

Previously, she sparked a debate by saying, "I'd kinda hate it if my boyfriend used a Galaxy. Just imagining him taking pictures of me with that phone makes me so annoyed.."

The remark led to a heated debate online, with some seeing it as a simple expression of personal preference, while others criticized is as inappropriate.

Regarding this, Freezia explained, "I had absolutely no intention of looking down on Galaxy phones or hating a specific brand. I expressed it that way because of a past memory of not liking how my face looked in a photo taken with a Galaxy phone."

She added, "I heard that Galaxy cameras take great photos these days, so I want to compare them myself," adding, "I'm going to try and get a really great shot," showing a proactive attitude.

In the video, she revealed herself unboxing a Galaxy smartphone she prepared herself and taking photos with it. She also drew attention by decorating the phone with stickers.

At the end of the video, Freezia apologized again, saying, "I know many people must have been offended by what I said. It was a harsh way of expressing it. From now on, I'll show you the pretty side of me regardless of the device."

Jeon Somi revealed that she received sex education during her time as a JYP trainee.

Recently, SBS variety show 'AGJ' released a preview video featuring Jeon Somi.

On this day, Lee Suji said, "Do you know what JYP is the strictest about? I heard they have about 67 different types of trainee education." Jeon Somi, who formerly trained at JYP Entertainment, explained, "We receive character education, sex education, and even hacking prevention education."

Lee Sangmin asked, "Is there anything that makes you think 'Why do I even have to learn this?' as an idol trainee?" Jeon Somi replied, "Sex education." She added, "I had already received proper sex education at home. So from my perspective, I felt like JYP left out all the important parts in their sex education," which made everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Lee Suji mentioned, "Kai, didn't you also start from a young age? There's a rumor that you used to have a bit of rivalry moment in front of JYP." Kai responded, "If SM Entertainment was located above the Cheongdam Intersection, JYP Entertainment was right next to it. It was near the area where we go to eat."

Hearing this, Jeon Somi reacted, "That's a bit... What do you mean we were on the side where you go eat?" Kai replied, "Wasn't your company located in front of a donut shop? Unless we were going to eat donuts, we wouldn't usually go that way."

Jeon Somi claimed, "We actually say the opposite. We were located on the main street of Cheongdam Intersection and SM Entertainment was slightly off to the side." Kai responded, "We were the one on the main road," causing laughter. He added, "When we went to eat, JYP trainees would come down the stairs while bouncing to a rhythm. Back then, even if we were walking normally, we would suddenly start moving to a rhythm too," causing more laughter.
