According to a recent report by OSEN, GOT7's Youngjae has publicly called out the production company behind the musical 'Dream High Season 2' over unpaid appearance fees.

On the 9th, Youngjae posted on his personal social media account, writing, "I believed you said everything would be resolved by June 9, but it hasn't been resolved even by today."

He tagged the official accounts of the 'Dream High 2' production company and its CEO:

"As someone who is owed money, every time I contact you, you would say, 'Didn't we say when we'd pay you? Please wait a litte longer.' Once August comes, it will have been almost a year since this went unresolved. This is really becoming a problem."

He continued, "How do you think it feels for someone who still hasn't properly received their appearance fee to see posts like this? Please don't say that the payments are currently being made just because you've been sending small portions of the amount owed. Yes, you did pay something. But from where I stand, it's such a small amount that can hardly be considered a proper settlement."

He expressed his frustration, saying:

"Am I unfairly asking for money? Do the time I spent practicing, my effort, and that entire process mean nothing? I wanted to resolve this in good terms. I believe it wasn't our side that made this whole situation uncomfortable. Ah, you're telling me you'll settle it within this month? I lose count of how many times I've already heard those exact words."

Previously, Youngjae was cast as Song Samdong in the show musical 'Dream High Season 2' in April of last year. However, the issue of unpaid appearance fees came to light, leading Youngjae's side to file a lawsuit against the production company in January.

Meanwhile, it is reported that 'Dream High Season 3' is being produced and is scheduled to open in July.

Ahead of Channel A's 'Heart Signal 5' regular broadcast, SPOTV News reported that the female contestant who was recently embroiled in affair allegations was not completely edited out.

Episode 9 of 'Heart Signal 5' aired on the 9th at 10 PM (KST). This was the first episode to air since allegations surrounding a female contestant surfaced. Prior to the broadcast, the production team released an official statement, saying:

"We are currently verifying the facts regarding allegations involving a certain contestant. We take this matter very seriously. Regardless of whether the allegations are true, we are carefully reviewing the direction of this contestant's appearances on the show."

However, the contestant in question still appeared in the episode. Although her screen time was limited because she returned home late, she had been one of the key figures featured heavily in previous episodes, suggesting that the production team is facing a difficult decision.

Recently, allegations claiming that one of the female contestant on a dating show is a defendant in a lawsuit seeking damages for an extramarital affair spread across online communities. The author claimed:

"That contestant is a homewrecker who ruined a family and also the defendant in a marital infedility lawsuit. From the time she applied for the show up until the filming period, she was actually in a relationship but pretended to be single."

The author continued, "This was a clear act of deception toward viewers, fellow cast members, and the production staff. While filming the cohabitation part of the show, she would spend early mornings at the married man's residence and then return to the filming set to continue shooting."

Following the controversy, the production team stated that they were 'currently verifying the facts,' and later released their official statement in the afternoon on the day of the broadcast.

'Heart Signal' is one of South Korea's original and most popular dating reality show that has received significant love over the years. However, Season 5 has struggled with low ratings in the 0% range and relatively low buzz.

COMMENTS:

1. [+156][-0] Does anyone even watch this? Nobody around me is watching it at all.

2. [+139][-4] Everything else is garbage compared to 'I Am Solo.'

3. [+112][-1] Just air it without editing anything out. This obsession with editing people out is such a weird cultural habit.

4. [+20][-0] I watched today's episode. The way she acted really came across as slyㅡㅡ

5. [+18][-0] Judging from the preview, I totally get it now. With a mindset like that, no wonder she managed to seduce a man who already has a child... Truly amazing~

6. [+17][-0] From her perspective, it would actually be better to get edited outㅋ Now her face is being shown to the entire countryㅋ

'Heart Signal 5' contestant acccused of an affair was not edited out ... "We take this matter seriously"

Amid news that Sooyoung and Jung Kyungho have ended their relationship after 14 years, Jung Kyungho's affectionate remarks about Sooyoung just a month ago are being revisited.

Previously on the 9th, both Sooyoung and Jung Kyungho's agency, Saram Entertainment and Management Allum, officially confirmed, "The two have broken up." According to Sports Kyunghyang, both sides stated that the couple gradually dritfted apart due to busy schedules and recently decided to end their relationship.

Following the breakup news, Jung Kyungho's remarks during his appearance on Shin Dongyup's Youtube channel back in May are gaining attention. At the time, Jung Kyungho was talking about how his father, PD Jung Eulyoung, had opposed his acting career in the past when he expressed his gratitude toward Sooyoung.

When Shin Dongyup commented, "I can understand why your father opposed you. You were messing around, saying you wanted to start acting," Jung Kyungho responded, "I really did mess around for far too long. I feel sorry about that," and added:

"Choi Sooyoung keeps me grounded. I honestly think that if it hadn't been for her, I could've become a very disappointing and bad actor. She is someone I'm truly grateful for."

Despite being tipsy from a few drinks at the time, Jung Kyungho openly expressed his trust in Sooyoung, describing her as someone who firmly supported and anchored the unstable parts of himself.

Meanwhile, the two began dating in 2012 and publicly confirmed their relationship in 2014. At the time, Sooyoung was 22 years old and Jung Kyungho was 29 years old. Over the next 14 years, they continued their public relationship and became one of the representative long-term couples in the Korean entertainment industry.

Since they had been together from Sooyoung's early 20s to her mid-30s, fans had long speculated that they were going to get married. However, they announced their breakup yesterday, leading to bittersweet reactions online alongside various speculations regarding the reasons behind their split.

COMMENTS:

1. [+299][-14] Then you should have started a family with her, man ㅠ

2. [+251][-25] What kind of woman is going to wait around any longer after 14 years? She is reaching the age where childbirth becomes more difficult!! He's so selfish. He only thinks about himself!!

3. [+179][-17] When a long-term relationship ends, the guy always gets all the hate and the woman gets all the sympathyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's the reality. If you think 'It's fine,' 'It doesn't matter,' you should go and try marry someone who just came out of a 14-year relationship.

4. [+33][-7] It could've been Sooyoung who didn't want to get married. Now that they're getting older, maybe Jung Kyungho wanted to get married, but Sooyoung wanted to focus on her work a little longer and turned him down, leading to the breakup. Why is everyone automatically blaming Jung Kyungho...? None of us actually know what happened...

5. [+22][-4] It seems like she got tired of waiting and decided to call it quits,

According to a report by Sports Kyunghyang, a recent footage of HYBE's Chairman Bang Sihyuk has become a hot topic online after a netizen posted it on their social medida account along with the caption, "Saw Bang Sihyuk at Weverse Con."

In the video, Bang Sihyuk was seen wearing a casual outfit paired with a beret and glasses. He was also carrying a large totebag decorated with keychains. The footage appeared to show that he had gained some weight compared to before.

Last year, Bang Sihyuk drew attention after appearing noticeably slimmer. Upon seeing his sharper jawline and slimmer appearance, netizens reacted with comments like "He looks so different, I couldn't recognize him at first."

In the past, Bang Sihyuk has successfuly shown weight-loss transformations several times, only to be spotted having regained weight afterward. His latest appearance suggests that he is once again facing difficulties maintaining the results of his diet.

Following the release of this video, netizens reacted with comments like, "Maintaining weight loss is really difficult," Still, it's admirable how he keeps trying to manage his health," "His styling defies his age," "He dressed like an idol," and more.

COMMENTS:

1. [+121][-7] Does he really think that beret looks good on him?

2. [+81][-3] This is what happens if you drink too much milk and fruit juice: You'll gain weight!!

3. [+10][-2] He defeated Mounjaro?!

4. [+10][-0] Let's go to jail ~~~!!!!!!!!!

5. [+8][-0] He's not lacking money or anything else, why bother worrying about him? Just leave him alone. Let him live the way he wants.

According to a report by News1, a video of shaman Myeong Doryeong that was posted in December of last year has recently resurfaced following the breakup news of Jung Kyungho and Choi Sooyung. In the video, Myung Doryeong conducted a blind fortune reading using only the couple's birth dates. 

In the video, Myeong Doryeong described the male partner, "He is someone stubborn with very clear standards. He cares deeply about how others perceive him and has tendencies to be perfectionist." Regarding the female partner, he continued, "She is also highly stubborn, but free-spirited. She tends to live according to her own will rather than conforming to others' expectations."

Regarding their compatibility, the shaman stated:

"They have decent compatibility, but I do not see the energy of a married couple between them. They may be able to date for a long time, but it seems difficult for them to make it all the way to marriage. It seems like she wants to get married, but he appears to be avoiding marriage."

He added, "The man does not appear in a hurry or eager to get married. Marriage could keep getting delayed due to family issues or opposition from people around them." He continued, "Although they have deep bond, it feels more like a friendship than a marriage relationship. There is a possibility that they will eventually breakup."

Notably, the shaman also predicted:

"After the breakup, she would likely receive marriage proposals and get married relatively quickly. On the other hand, his marriage would be delayed."

Previously, Myeong Doryeong attracted attention for his comments regarding comedian Park Narae, who has halted her entertainment activities due to a controversy involving an illegal practitioner. Myeong Doryeong claimed, "She has excessive greed and ambition. She could experience a decline in her career if she did not change."

He also stated, "She tends to be calculating in her relationships with other people. She also has a tendency to use people around her. She ultimately will fall into her own trap during that process. She should feel enough with the fortune she already has, it would be greedy for wanting more. If she doesn't change, there is a high possibility that her work will become blocked or even come to a complete halt."

Three weeks after that video was released, Park Narae announced her hiatus from the entertainment industry following several allegations, including mistreatment of her manager and receiving illegal medical procedures. 

Meanwhile, Jung Kyungho and Choi Sooyoung began dating in 2013 and publicly acknowledged their relationship in 2014. However, they recently brought an end to their 14-year relationship.

COMMENTS:

1. [+545][-13] There are probably over five hundred reasons why they broke up... Just leave them alone... They will live their lives and figure things out themselves.

2. [+509][-48] Please stop assuming that the woman is automatically the one who wants to get married.

3. [+351][-8] What is the point of all this speculation? People date and people break up.

4. [+27][-3] I guess they simply weren't meant to be married... I feel like one of them will probably get married pretty soon, though.

5. [+20][-2] The end of a relationship is either marriage or a breakup... It's unfortunate, though.
