Singer Kwon Eunbi recently opened up about her dating style, ideal type, marriage plans, and past relationships.

On the 10th, Kwon Eunbi appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel '12th Floor' in a video titled 'Honey, Why Don't You Post Any Pictures of Me on Instagram?' alongside Kwak Beom, Kim Jiyoo, pH-1, and Kim Wonhoon to promote her new single and discuss her love life.

Having made her comeback on September 3, Kwon Eunbi shared, "I'm making a comeback with the new song 'DEJAVU' after 1 year and 4 months. You know how déjà vu feels like something you saw in a dream?" and described, "It's an energetic song that captures the refreshing energy of summer, like something you saw in a dream."

When Kim Jiyoo commented that the song brings back memories of summer, Kwak Beom joked, "It feels like remembering that guy you met at the beach in Gangneung." Kwon Eunbi thanked them, saying she was touched by their thoughtful explanation.

The conversation then shifted to Kwon Eunbi's dating preferences. When asked about her ideal type, she explained:

"I don't care about looks as much as people think. Everyone I've dated had a different vibe. They definitely didn't have similar looks."

Kwon Eunbi also admitted she isn't attracted to overly muscular or heavily built men, adding, "Men with very defined facial features can feel a little intimidating to me."

When asked about her secret to flirting, Kwon Eunbi revealed, "When I start liking someone, I pay close attention to their gaze. I look at them and think, 'Aren't you curious about me?'"

Following these comments, her past statements about marriage and ideal partners on other shows resurfaced online. On the YouTube channel 'Yong Tarot,' Kwon Eunbi firmly stated:

"First of all, I want someone who has a lot I can learn from, and I prefer someone who isn't much older or younger than me." 

Meanwhile during her appearance on 'Housekeeping Men 2,' she mentioned, "My mom doesn't really bring up marriage, but I do think about getting married."

Born in 1995, Kwon Eunbi is turning 30 years old this year. She first debuted as a member of IZ*ONE through Mnet's 'Produce 48' in 2018. After IZ*ONE's activities ended, she continued her career as a solo singer.

She has since earned the nickname 'Waterbomb Goddess' for her iconic performances at several summer festivals. She recently released 'DEJAVU' on September 3 and is currently busy promoting the song.

Actress Han Sohee honestly opened up about marriage, having children, and the kind of partner she wants in the future.

On the 8th, Han Sohee sat down for an interview at a café in Seoul ahead of the release of her new movie 'The Intern.'

Directed by Kim Doyoung, who previously directed 'Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982' and 'Once We Were Us,' 'The Intern' is the official Korean remake of the Hollywood film starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.

During the interview, when asked what industry she would want to try if she had to work as an intern in real life, Han Sohee answered, "An entertainment reporter." And when she was asked what she would want to ask those celebrities, she immediately replied, "When are you getting married?"

That naturally led the reporter to ask her the same thing. Han Sohee shared, "I want to get married before I turn 40." She noted, "I don't have any romantic fantasies about marriage, but I do want to have a child."

Han Sohee was also remarkable honest about her ideal type. Recalling her past appearance on Lee Youngji's Youtube channel, she described the person she wants as 'someone stable,' adding:

"I said I have a dream of having a child, right? So for the sake of my future child, I want someone who is genetically handsome."

She joked, “Honestly, isn’t a stable and handsome person what everyone wants?”

Singer Chungha recently explained why her look and overall vibe feel different lately.

On September 2, Chungha appeared on KBS Cool FM's 'Gabi Super Radio' and talked about turning 30 this year. She shared, "I don't really know what having a 'grown woman' vibe means. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I keep seeing posts going viral about me being in my 30s," and added:

"Sometimes I see people saying, 'Chungha is already 30?' I wish people would still mistake me for being in my 20s."

When Gabi mentioned that the image of a grown woman suited her, Chungha agreed, saying, "I guess I have matured a bit."

Gabi also noticed that Chungha's features and overall expression look softer now, and Chungha explained:

"Maybe it's because I've lost most of my baby fat. My friends even ask if I got face contouring surgery. Even I notice how much it's gone."

Chungha casually shut down plastic surgery rumors, explaining that her evolving look is simply due to getting older, weight loss, and different styling.

Chungha also made everyone laugh while looking back at how people used to describe her looks over the years. Responding to a listener who said, "When Chungha first debuted, she looked like an adult, but looking back, she was just a 21-year-old baby," Chungha recalled, "In my early 20s, people told me all the time that I looked like a hamster."

She added with a laugh, "By my late 20s, around the time I was promoting 'I'm Ready,' people started telling me I looked like a snake. Maybe it was because of my snake-inspired stage outfits, but I think my face really did change that much."

Speaking on what she considers her peak, Chungha reflected, “I want my 30s to be my prime rather than my 20s. I haven’t lived through all of my 30s yet, so I can’t casually say that this is my prime, but I think it depends on how you define what your prime is.”

After the episode aired, netizens reacted warmly, with comments like, "She really must have lost a lot of baby fat if even her friends asked about it," "Plastic surgery rumors must have been stressful, so it's great she brought it up so casually," "Comparing her look from a hamster to a snake is so accurate," and "Her aura got way cooler and more mature after turning 30."

Meanwhile, Chungha recently took part in I.O.I's reunion activities and made her solo comeback on September 1 with the digital single 'México.'

Gugudan's Haebin has shared an update on her life after stepping away from the entertainment industry.

On September 1, Haebin posted a video to her personal social media account titled, 'What do girl group members do for a living after retiring?.' In the video, she shared her journey of transitioning from a former idol to a full-time content creator.

Haebin shared, "Spending five years as a trainee and five years as an idol, I won a rookie award just two years after debuting with Gugudan." She remembered being busy with solo concerts and overseas shows before everything suddenly changed, saying:

"At some point, my job was just gone."

 

However, Haebin didn't completely walk away from music. She explained, "Singing was all I knew, so I began working on drama OSTs and creating music that I truly enjoyed." She added:

"Rather than caring about rankings, I started pursuing things that I genuinely loved doing."

Haebin admitted that finding a new path wasn't something that happened overnight. She confessed, "To find something I could do long-term while actually enjoying it instead of just trying to please others, I had to learn everything again from scratch."

Wrapping up the video, she added, "From now on, I want to share my life as Han Yeseo, not Gugudan's Haebin. Please show me lots of support."

Haebin debuted as Gugudan's main vocalist in 2016 before the group disbanded in 2020. She now works as a content creator with around 49,000 followers, sharing personal experiences and daily updates. 

Haebin isn't the only former member sharing updates about life after the group. Fellow member Hana recently revealed that after pursuing an acting career, she is now working overseas as a flight attendant.

Youtuber Park Wi is facing new backlash as details about his lecture fees and public contracts surfaced online following the controversy over the release of CCTV footage from his KTX accident.

The situation began after an accident on August 14, where Park Wi fell while getting off a KTX train because the wheel of his wheelchair caught on the foot of a social service worker who was helping him.

On August 21, Park Wi posted CCTV footage of the accident on his Youtube channel to raise concerns about the need for safer train boarding for people with disabilities.

At the time, netizens criticized him for sharing the footage, especially since the worker had already apologized at the scene. Many argued that sharing the footage went too far because it could expose the worker's identity.


Park Wi eventually took down the footage from his channel and issued an apology, saying:
"I failed to fully consider the perspective of the staff member who did their best to help me at the scene and apologized."
Alongside the backlash, there were also suspicions that Park Wi may have received special treatment to obtain the CCTV footage. However, KORAIL clarified that their guidelines allow anyone involved in an incident to request and receive copies of their own footage.


As the controversy grew, public attention shifted to online posts sharing contract details between public institutions and Park Wi's affiliated companies, leading many to question whether his appearance fee were reasonable.

According to the publicly available contract records, Geumsan County invited Park Wi for a special lecture for teenagers at the Geumsan County Public Library in 2023 through Saramson Contents & Works for 5 million KRW (around 3,600 USD).

A special lecture service organized by Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, for Children's Day Festival 2026 has also resurfaced. The contract was signed with the company represented by Park Wi, Wiracle Factory Inc., for 4.462 million KRW (around $3,200 USD).

Public records further revealed a 9.35 million KRW (aroud 6,750 USD) contract signed with Inside Out Core Inc. for 'Wiracle Park Wi's Talk Concert.' Set for August 28, the 60-minute event, which included sign language, wheelchair seating, Braille leaflets, and subtitles, was abruptly canceled due to 'unavoidable circumstances' as the backlash grew.


However, observers note that total contract amount do not represent the amount Park Wi personally receives. Besides his appearance fee, the total amount also covers event costs like planning, staff, equipment, and accessibility support.

Still, because these contracts are worth several million KRW, many people online are showing fairly cold response. Some commented, "That's way more money for a single lecture than I expected," and "The humble, positive image he emphasized in his lectures doesn't match the way he handled the recent situation."

On the other hand, others defended him, saying, "That could simply be the normal booking rates for a well-known speaked," and "The fees stated in the contract also includes the event setup costs, not just his appearance fee."

NCT member Taeyong has shared a message of support for Mark following his departure from NCT 127, while reflecting on the group’s difficult lineup changes and their upcoming 10th anniversary.

On August 24, NCT 127 held a press conference at SKY31 Convention in Lotte World Tower, Jamsil, Seoul, to celebrate the release of their seventh full-length album 'BLINGY.' The album marks the group’s first comeback in about two years and their first release following changes to the lineup.

NCT 127 has now been reorganized as a seven-member group following Mark's official departure from the group and SM Entertainment on April 8 after nearly a decade with the team. This comes after former member Taeil left in June 2025 following allegations of sexually assaulting an intoxicated woman alongside two acquaintance. He was charged of aggravated rape under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.

Meanwhile, all seven remaining members (Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, and Haechan) have officially renewed their contracts with SM Entertainment.

During the press conference, leader Taeyong shared his thoughts on the group's 10th anniversary. He confessed, "When we debuted, the image we had of ourselves 10 years later was all of us would still be together," and added:

"Our team has gone through several member changes, and going through those periods was always painful. There were times when it was difficult to adjust."

He continued, "Even so, the remaining seven of us want to repay our fans for the memories and trust we've built over the past 10 years." He added, "Since we're being back together after so long, we've come to trust, lean on, and rely on one another even more," and explained, "This album was made so that we can show an even better side of ourselves as NCT."

Taeyong also took a moment to speak about Mark, saying, "Speaking of him as a fellow member who walked this path with us for 10 years, I personally have a deep respect for Mark." He added:

"I know how hard he worked while going back and forth between the two teams. Now that our paths are taking different directions, I want to respect and support the path he has chosen."

Taeyong also spoke about the contract renewal, stating, "It's definitely something to celebrate. Every members renewed the contracts with the commitment to trust the company with our future direction, both as NCT 127 and NCT as a whole." He promised, "We will continue working hard to deliver great music and performances, and we will show an even stronger version of ourselves as NCT 127."

Meanwhile, 'BLINGY' is NCT 127's seventh full-length album that reflects on their decade-long journey while showcasing their pride, strong unity, and determination to carve out their own path together.

'BLINGY' features nine tracks, led by the title track of the same name, and drops today at 6 PM (KST).

BIGBANG's G-Dragon recently revealed that he doesn't know how to use mobile banking.

On August 22, G-Dragon made an appearance on an episode of Youtube channel Tteuntteun titled 'Anniversaries Are Just an Excuse' alongside fellow BIGBANG members Taeyang and Daesung.

The discussion started when Yoo Jaesuk mentioned, "Haha used to be one of the original hipsters who embraced new technology than anyone else, but now he can't even kiosks." Haha then asked Yoo Jaesuk if he uses mobile banking. While Yoo Jaesuk confirmed he does, G-Dragon confessed, "I can't (use mobile banking.)"


Surprised by the confession, Yoo Jaesuk asked, "What do you do if you can't use mobile banking? What about all that wealth?" G-Dragon explained:

"I have someone who manages it for me."


Hearing this, Yoo Jaesuk advised, "Even if you have someone managing it for you, you should still check it yourself."

The conversation then turned to how the other BIGBANG members handle their finances. Daesung said, "I've managed my finances myself since I was young." Taeyang explained, "Daesung has handled everything himself almost since the beginning of our debut. For me, about two or three years after debut, I realized, 'I need to know how to manage my own finances,' so I started managing things myself." G-Dragon added:

"I can go to the bank, speak directly with a teller, and take care of things that way, but I don't know how to use mobile banking at all."

Daesung agreed, saying, "When it comes to convenience, nothing beats speaking to an actual person. Even when calling customer service, I deliberately wait to be connected to a representative instead of dealing with an automated system," to which Haha and Taeyang agreed to.

G-Dragon's recent remarks made waves online given previous headlines surrounding his wealth. He was previously speculated to have around 100 billion KRW (around $72 million USD) in net worth, especially after purchasing a luxury apartment at Nine One Hannam in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul for 16.4 billion KRW (around $11.8 million USD).
