This competition has been raising criticism for receiving budget support from the local government and is deemed inappropriate because most of the participants are men and the models are relatively young women. Not only that, this competition is blatantly commercializing women's bodies. Although the organizers of the competition claim that there are male models too, it is revealed that there have been no photos of male models in the last 10 years of this competition. This competition is judged as commercializing women as they cost each participant 50,000 KRW to join the competition.
-Is this really happening in 2022? Oh Gosh...
-They have been holding this contest since 2004?
-I really do not understand every single person participating in that contest. The ones I can't understand the most are the organizers and the models.
-They're giving budget support of 10M KRW every year for that kind of competition???
-I can't even believe such contest exists...
-It's shocking to me that this is their 18th competition. It's sickening me out.
-I don't understand why they're holding this kind of contest. I can't believe they're giving out 10M KRW every year for this kind of event.
-Why would someone do this? Why?
-They should've just donated that amount of money for good deeds instead...
-That is disgusting.
-It's unbelievable for me that this kind of competition exists and now you're telling me that the local government supports them by giving 10M KRW for this competition....?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It's hard to believe that they've been holding this contest for 18 years... And 10M KRW from the local government...?
National Nude Photography Competition is canceled

On the 20th, Lee Chanhyuk performed the title track of his 1st full album, 'Panorama' on MCountdown. He performed after releasing his solo album, ERROR, on the 17th and made a scene-stealing guest appearance on KBS1 National Singing Contest and EBS1 Ding Dong Dang Kindergarten.
However, his dating rumors started to spread right after he finished his first performance. He has been rumored to be dating Lee Saerom from Fromis9 in online communities since the 19th. Lee Chanhyuk's agency, YG Ent. speaks up regarding the dating rumor, 'It is difficult for us to confirm because it's our artist's privacy'. However, fans believe that YG Ent is indirectly confirming that the two of them are dating because YG Ent would strongly deny the rumors if it wasn't true.
Was this the reason behind it? Lee Chanhyuk, who became the main character after his first dating rumors spread, appeared on the 20th and public attention was drawn to his mouth. He was wearing a white mask with ERROR written on it. He remained silent during the whole interview which took time before his performance.
Nobody knows whether Lee Chanhyuk and MC Nam Yoon-soo and Miyeon had already agreed to do this before hand. Lee Chanhyuk remained silent when he was asked about how he feels about his solo debut and the difference between promoting as AKMU and a solo singer. The two MCs said, "I heard a telepathy saying that he will do his best as a solo singer, just like how he does as an AKMU's personnel" and "I think we have to check out his performance"
Lee Chanhyuk proceeded to perform, standing in the center of the stage while turning his back on the audience and camera. He only showed us the back of his head until the performance ended. Some people think it was a quite rude action. Netizens say, "He's getting weirder as time passes by. Does he think that looks cool? Is this some kind of art performance? Don't cross the line", "A bad example of what happens when someone falls into his beliefs and worldviews too deep", "Maybe he'll be embarrassed about this a few years later", "Chanhyuk-ah, stop doing as you please now"
-I personally think it's good for him to try out different concepts as long as he's not harming anyone else.
-Those interviews are based on scripts and they do rehearsals before going live. I think the ones writing this kind of article are the rude ones.
-It's not like he's a criminal. What is all this fuss about?
-Maybe that was what was written in the script?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm pretty sure they already agreed to do that beforehand...
-Akdong Musician is not a group that will be impacted by a dating rumor anyway...
-Am I the only one who feels like the reporters are purposely writing articles in this manner just because he refused to comment about the dating rumors?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-All I wanna do is to live my life like Lee Chanhyuk...
-I'm sure the MCs already agreed to do that beforehand. I think it's just the concept of his solo debut.
-I don't think this is a big problem. He can do whatever he wants. I will always be rooting for him as long as he doesn't do drugs or drive under the influence~
-I mean... Isn't this just a concept...?? I enjoyed his performance, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Anyway... That's a really unique concept
-Isn't this just his concept? I mean... The title of his album is ERROR...
-Seems like haters are being hired as reporters these days...
'Does not respond in an interview' --> Performs while turning his back on the audience, fans are confused by his action, 'Is this some kind of art performance?'
Lee Chanhyuk keeps his silence in midst of his dating rumors. Noise marketing should be done appropriately in order to work.

It is known that this drama originally had 14 episodes
-It's because they're going to start Season 2 right after Season 1 ends...
-That's too short...ㅠㅠ You're saying that they only have 4 episodes left now?
-My mom's world is falling apart right now...
-I think there must've been some kind of misunderstanding... Because the director said it himself that this drama is only going to have 12 episodes.
-It is even possible to resolve all of that in just 4 episodes? If you're going to end this season early, you should give us the 2nd season as soon as possible.
-12 episodes are too short, though? Are they going to have another season?
-What?? I thought they had 16 episodes?!?! That's way too shortㅠㅠㅠ
-But why?
-That's a relief. I think this drama is going on for too long.
-Are you kidding me?? Give us more episodes!!!
-The drama is doing really great, so I think they're going to have another season...?
-12 episodes are too shortㅠㅠㅠㅠ They're going to be back with another season, right?ㅠㅠㅠ
-It sounds to me like they're going to have another season...
-Okay, I'll assume that they're going to have another season then
SBS One Dollar Lawyer is planned to finish the drama in 12 episodes

Kang Hodong: What about the comments at that time?
Sakura: The comments? It was amazing(?) because a lot of people are watching me...
Kang Hodong: You once said in an interview that you'd rather have no lines because the hate comments were too scary for you
Sakura: After receiving a lot of hate comments saying that I can't sing, I became scared even before entering the recording room. I'm scared I'll get hate for the same reason again. When I'm not fully prepared, I'd rather have no lines so that it wouldn't harm my team in any way. But I know they won't be saying such things if I do a great job. So when I entered this company, I made up my mind to not hear that type of comment anymore. So I practice a lot. I was born with no talents, I only acquired them with my effort.
Kang Hodong: So you're making the hate comments as your motivation?
Sakura: It was really tough for me to read the comments back then. But I no longer care about them now, as long as I did nothing wrong. I mean, people only see what they want to see. So what?
Kang Hodong: So what?
Sakura: Yes, so what?
A: I'm sure once we debut, they will be going through the same hardships and concerns that I've been through before. Therefore, I want to tell them what they can do to overcome that. When you gain attention from the public, there are going to be various stories told about you. When I first debuted, I had a hard time because of the people who told stories about me when I have never even seen them in the first place, regardless the stories are facts or hoaxes. So I created this 2:6:2 Rule. 20% of people will like you no matter what you do, 60% of people will decide whether they like you or not after the result comes out, and 20% of people will dislike you no matter what you do. Do not listen to people who dislike you no matter what and focus on showing your best to the people who decide whether they like you or not after seeing the result. You can't change your past, but you can change their perception of you by doing your best.

Kang Hodong: There are people who prefer to look up things on Naver, Google, or Youtube.
Sakura: I prefer to look up things on Twitter!
Kang Hodong: So you don't use Naver?
Sakura: I do, I do!
-The hate comments Sakura received are seriously no joke... Anyway, she seems to be on Twitter a lot. I remember she says she remembers fans' Twitter accounts back when she was still in IZONEㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The thing that confuses me is... Sure, you can dislike her for what she did in the past. But her name is clearly mentioned in the title. If you dislike her that much, why bother clicking this post and leave hate comments? I just don't understand it at all. Shouldn't you be scrolling away if you dislike her?
-She's very entertainingㅋㅋㅋㅋ She's really cool. Fighting!
-Who cares about the hate comments, anyway. Fighting, Sakura! She's really cool for always putting effort into whatever she does.
-I just discovered her, she has a really amazing mindset. I just watched her performance of Antifragile and she seems to be really good, it seems like she has worked really hard for this comeback.
-I'm not a fan but I personally think she's really cool. She's such a hard worker, it's really great to see her improving as time passes by.
-I don't like Sakura, but she's spitting facts hereㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you don't like her that much, stop paying attention to her.
-I love that 2:6:2 Rule she created...
-I've been watching Sakura since she was in AKB48. It really amazes me how improved her Korean is right now.
-I don't like Sakura, but I think people make mistakes and it doesn't matter as long as they don't make the same mistakes in the future.
-I don't like IZONE, but I like Sakura and I think she's an amazing person. It's not easy for an already-debuted idol to put that much more effort and improve like her.
-I'm on her side because she always tries to become a better person, unlike the hate commenters.

[Wendy: 'I feel like people are focusing way too much on how many copies are sold. Honestly, I don't understand why is that so important. It's already enough for us to have people who support and listen to our music. Instead, use that money to buy delicious food and warm clothes. I beg you. I think that's also the reason why albums these days come in different versions. Try not to buy them.']
Wendy shares her response along with a screen-capture of a message from a fan that says, "I'm working hard to earn money so that I can go to your concert and buy your albums". Wendy replies, "Concerts might be different, but don't buy a few copies of the same album. One copy is enough. Having you listen to our music and root for us is already enough. Instead, you can use that money to take care of your health, eat delicious food with your family, or maybe if you live alone, you can treat yourself a delicious meal for going through the day"
