Singer Shindong drew attention with a dramatically slimmer appearance that was almost unrecognizable.

On the 11th, Shindong attended the VIP premiere of the film 'Michael' held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam, Seoul, together fellow Super Junior members Eunhyuk and Leeteuk.

He appeared wearing a black suit with naturally waved hair, but what stood out most was his sharp jawline and noticeably slimmer figure, making him look completely different from before. Standing next to Eunhyuk and Leeteuk, who are known as some of the slimmer members of Super Junior, he looked nearly the same size, drawing a lot of attention.

Shindong has openly shared his weight-loss journey through various TV appearances and social media. Last year, he revealed that his weight had dropped from triple digits to double digits. In July of the same year, he also shared that he was using Wegovy for obesity treatment.

Since then, he has balanced the medication with consistent dieting and exercise, recently surprising fans with an even slimmer appearance. As photos from the events were released, netizens reacted with comments like, "Is that really Shindong?", "He doesn't look out of place even next to Eunhyuk," "His jawline is completely back," and "He really lost a lot of weight."

Oh My Girl's Mimi opened up about her first earnings.

On the 7th, Swings, Mimi, and Kim Daeho appeared as guests on the first episode of 'Mudaepo' titled 'Swings' story about getting scammed out of 50 million KRW by an unknown woman (feat. Lee Eunji, Mimi, Kim Daeho).'

In the video, Lee Eunji asked Mimi when she first started earning 'real money,' to which Mimi replied, "For me, even my very first settlement was in the negative."

She explained, "Girl groups cost a lot of money. It takes a lot of money to maintain them. Unless you're very successful, you're usually in the negative. In my case, since I barely had any solo activities, my first proper income actually came from Youtube."

She continued, "A lot of people enjoyed my vlogs showing me eating and my comfortable daily life. I earned money for the first time through the views. To me, that was a huge amount of money. It still is. That's why Youtube is something very precious and meaningful to me."

Meanwhile, Mimi debuted in 2015 with Oh My Girl and has been running a Youtube channel called 'MimPD' since 2019, which currently has around 547,000 subscribers.

Nana and her mother appear in court over unjust claims ... Trial continues with 'testimony from officials who wrote their medical reports'

The trial regarding singer and actress Nana's home invasion and robbery case continues.

 According to legal sources on the 12th, the 1st Criminal Division of the Euijeongbu District Court's Namyangju Branch will hold the fourth hearing for Mr. A, who is charged with robbery and causing injury to Nana and her mother, and proceed with witness examinations. The court had previously announced that officials who issued the medical injury reports for Nana and her mother would testify that day.

During the previous hearing, Nana and her mother attended in person as witnesses. Although Nana's side had expressed their wish not to attend because she did not want to face Mr. A directly, she ultimately had no choice but to comply. After coming face-to-face with Mr. A in court, Nana reportedly could not contain her anger and yelled, "Is this fun for you? Look at me straight in the eyes."

She also reportedly raised her voice in court, saying, "In my own way, I believe I gave Mr. A every possible chance given the situation and made the right choices. I don't understand why this trial is being dragged out for so long and why I have to endure this humiliation. It feels like I'm being victimized endlessly." At the same time, she also expressed pity toward Mr. A, saying, "I entered the courtroom feeling angry, but as we went through the details of the incident one by one, I started to feel sorry for him. I hope his sentence doesn't get any heavier. I hope it ends here and that he truly reflects on his actions."

According to prosecutors, Mr. A is accused of breaking into Nana's home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, around 6 PM (KST) on November 15 last year while carrying a weapon, threatening Nana and her mother, and attempting to steal money. Nana and her mother were injured while subduing him and reporting the incident to the police.

Mr. A has denied most of the charges. During the first hearing on January 20, he claimed through his legal representative that the weapon found at the scene did not belong to him, but was something the victim (Nana) had brought out from inside the house. He added, "I only entered because I thought it was an empty house and inteded to steal something," and even went as far as claiming that he was 'beaten one-sidedly.'

Mr. A also sued Nana for attempted murder and aggravated assault, claiming that he was injured while Nana and her mother were subduing him. The police concluded that Nana's actions were self-defense and decided not to forward the case due to lack of charges. Subsequently, Nana sued A for false accusation.

The sentencing hearing is reportedly scheduled to take place on June 4.

Soyou suffers a fall accident during MV filming → Filming halted ... "I was taken to the ER ... I blacked out"

Singer Soyou suffered a fall from an escalator during a rehearsal for her music video filming.

On the 11th, a video titled 'Going to the ER while filming an MV' was posted on Soyou's Youtube channel, 'Soyougi.' The video showed the process of Soyou experiencing an unexpected accident on the set of her new music video and then continuing with filming afterward. During rehearsals on a subway station escalator, Soyou suddenly lost her balance and tumbled downward. The staff immediately stopped filming and arranged for her to be taken to the hospital.

Right after the accident, the production team held an emergency meeting and discussed moving to the next location while excluding the subway scene. However, filming resumed two hours later when Soyou returned to the set. Soyou explained, "It was just bruising," and added, "I don't even remember screaming in that moment. When I got to the ER, my blood pressure was very low. I was so shocked that I can't remember." She confessed that even while in pain, she kept thinking, "I have to film the subway scene. I should figure out a way."

She also mentioned that she was unable to complete the detailed examinations at the hospital. Soyou said, "I was supposed to wait for the CT scan results, but I just said, 'No, I'm leaving,' and left." When the staff expressed concern about the remaining filming schedule, she replied, "Right now, I'm just chanting to myself, 'It doesn't hurt.'" She later completed the remaining shoots, including the office-concept scenes and rooftop filming.

After wrapping up the filming, Soyou commented, "Today's filming was really rough from the start. There were a lot of new attempts that I was unfamiliar with, but I think we finished it all." Soyou, who recently drew attention after revealing that she lost weight from 68kg to 48kg while preparing her comeback, returned to the music scene on April 29 with her third EP, 'Off Hours.'
