One of the most sensational contract disputes in the history of K-pop, the lawsuit involving the girl group FIFTY FIFTY, which surprised everyone in 2023, is currently underway for damages amounting to a whopping 13 billion won.

The agency of FIFTY FIFTY, Attrakt, filed a lawsuit on December 18, 2023, against a total of 12 individuals, including former members Sae-na, Aran, Shio, their parents, and An Seong-il, the head of The Givers, seeking 13 billion won in damages. They are currently preparing for trial.

--If they hadn't been so stingy, they could have earned much more when the opportunity arose. The CEO is truly wise.

-What a fool.

-They could have made that money, but instead, they end up paying for their own loss due to a stab in the backㅋㅋㅋ

-The trial hasn't happened yet, I wonder what the outcome will be.

-What's really frustrating about them is that they not only messed up their own lives but also the lives of the CEO and employees of that company. It's really disappointing. Making idols and hitting it big like that isn't an easy job, but to them, it's like winning the lottery, yet they squander it, making the company struggle in an instant. Fortunately, they managed to get other investments; otherwise, they'd be out on the street now.

-13 billion... How are they going to pay that back?

-Deal with the mess you made of your own lives and get some therapy.

-Cupid's song was getting attention, and they could have used Barbie's song to get more exposure... sigh.

-Life is a real battlefield.

-They deserve even more loss.

-They lost what they could have earned themselves.

-They not only wasted money but also the timing, which is invaluable and can't be bought with money.

-Nice.

-The parents are the problem...

-The universe gave them energy to thrive, but they just wasted it away

-But still, if divided among 12 people, it won't be that much.

-It's unfortunate, but it's the result of their choices.

130 Billion Won Lawsuit Progresses Against Sae-na, Aran, and Shio of FIFTY FIFTYS

 

Famous Composer Shinsadong Tiger Passed Away

According to a report by Sports News on the 23rd, Shinsadong Tiger (Lee Hoyang, 41) was found dead on this day.

According to acquaintances, a friend went to visit Shinsadong Tiger after being unable to contact him, only to discover him lifeless, and subsequently reported the finding to the police.

Shinsadong Tiger, known as a "hit maker" in the music industry, produced numerous hit songs such as T-ara's "Roly Poly", Apink's "NoNoNo", "Remember", EXID's "Up & Down", "DDD", and Momoland's "Bboom Bboom".

Recently, he launched the girl group Tri.be. After a long hiatus, Tri.be made a comeback with their fourth single, "Diamond". 

Tri.be expressed gratitude for Shinsadong Tiger's outstanding producing abilities at their showcase, and the sudden news of his passing comes as a shock, especially since they were scheduled to make a comeback through KBS2's 'Music Bank' on the same day.

-He's good-looking, no doubt.

-Is SM crazy to still hold onto him?

-Really?

-He left NCT, right?

-Could he debut as a solo artist??

-Who's going to buy all of his albums?

-Really?? Wow.

-Wouldn't it be difficult for him to promote in Korea? Ah, it must be tough in China too...?

-Was this the reason why he stayed in Korea?

-In which country is he popular?

-Oh... let's hope to hear only positive news next time 🙏

-Seriously, what the heck?

-When does his contract end?

-Why is he still with SM? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But isn't it a problem if they have a contract and don't let him work? What if he sues them later?

-The agency he signed with says they'll let him work, but what's the point?

-What a waste of a face.

-What can he do alone...? Really curious.

-He's seriously handsome, but seriously, what a waste of a face.

-Looks like SM has a lot of money.

Fan: Oppa, Timothée Chalamet is also leaving South Korea today! But you're even more handsome than him.

DH: 😂😂😂

EH: Quietly... Be quiet!! Keep your thoughts to yourself internally.

My inner thoughts slipped out... It's funny how Donghae laughed so hard.

theqoo

-When you mention Eunhyuk, it reminds me of that fan sign event, it's so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is funny tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's hilarious how he asked the fan to be quietㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Eunhyuk's fans are really funny. Even the video fan sign was hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But is it okay to stick to them to that extent...? Isn't that too close?

-Why are Eunhyuk fans so funny?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Eunhyuk fans are insanely funny. Even the video fan sign was hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at Donghae laughingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The laughter from the sides is killing meㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But wasn't he in Japan for a concert yesterday? And now he's leaving the country again, he must be really busy.

-But seriously, Eunhyuk occasionally appearing like this is so sweet... It's like he's really close with the fans, like a big brotherㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like I might understand why Eunhyuk is so popular latelyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He's just naturally funny and cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is that Donghae's laughter?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even Donghae's laughter is making me crack upㅋㅋㅌㅋㅋㅋ

-Donghae's laughterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, they're both so cute.

-Donghae's laughter is so hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Singer Kim Jaejoong will make his first appearance on a major broadcasting station's entertainment program in a staggering 15 years.

According to broadcast officials on the 23rd, Kim Jaejoong filmed for KBS 2TV's "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" on the 22nd. Kim Jaejoong, known as a 'master chef' in the entertainment industry, is scheduled to showcase his cooking skills generously on "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant."

Previously, PD Yoo Yumin of "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" publicly expressed his desire to invite Kim Jaejoong during an interview for the show's 200th episode, stating, "I want to showcase the splendid cooking feast, which is too precious to be shown only to acquaintances, on 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant.'" Finally, his dream has come true.

Kim Jaejoong's appearance on a major broadcasting station's entertainment program is his first since filing a request for suspension of exclusive contract with SM Entertainment in 2009. After leaving TVXQ and expanding his career as an actor, he appeared in several dramas, but he had not been seen on a major broadcasting station's entertainment shows. Kim Jaejoong had expressed his intention to appear on such programs before, but it is noteworthy that it has finally come true this time.

theqoo

-Ah, it was because of Lee Sooman after all, that old man was the problem.

-Congratulations, it was a long wait indeed.

-Finally!!!!!!!!!!ㅠㅜㅜㅜㅜ I've been waiting for so longㅠㅠㅠ

-Ah, I feel like crying.

-15 years was too long.

-Wow, 15 years was really too much...

-Wow...... 15 years??

-Wow, that's fantastic! Congratulations!!

-Wow... appearing on a variety show? Amazing, congratulationsㅠㅠㅠ

-It took so long, looking forward to his cookingㅋㅋㅋ

-It's his 20th anniversary since debut this year... And he couldn't appear on major broadcasting station for 15 years... That's more than 3/4 of the career....

-It's the 20th anniversary since debut this year... couldn't appear on terrestrial entertainment for 15 years... endured more than 3/4 of the career....

-Wow, finally... hope to see him in many other places in the future

-Congratulations, I'll definitely watch the broadcastㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Wow, finally.... It's amazing that such a day has come.

-He's good at cooking, so it suits him. I wonder if he'll make spicy food.

-Could it be that he couldn't appear in major broadcasting station because he left SM Ent?

-Oh, because of the old contract issues, right? 15 years is unbelievable. Jaejoong, congratulationsㅠㅠㅠ 

-Oh my goodness.... It took 15 yearsㅠㅠ I'll definitely watch it.

According to Daishin Securities on the 21st, the first-day album sales of the recently debuted girl group LE SSERAFIM were 780,000 copies, a 23% decrease compared to the previous album's 1.02 million copies.

The cause of this decline has been attributed to the departure of female fans. Analyst Im Su-jin of Daishin Securities stated, "While the reasons for the slump in album sales may be multifaceted, the seasonal characteristics of the first quarter, coupled with the departure of some domestic female fandom and weakened purchasing power, are likely to have played a major role."

In the entertainment industry, it is generally known that female fans have higher loyalty and purchasing power than male fans, and this was pointed out. Indeed, according to Im's analysis, even at the showcase held on the 19th, the proportion of male fans increased from the previous half to 70-80%.

In addition, the consumption patterns of overseas fandoms, which differ from those in Korea, have also been cited as a factor. LE SSERAFIM's overseas fandom mainly consists of fans from Hong Kong, China, Japan, and a small number from Southeast Asia, who do not competitively purchase albums like domestic fans do.

theqoo

-What nonsense is this when the album is selling well?

-Judging solely by first-day sales is a bit...

-This headline is weird. Even if the article were true (which it's not), it would make more sense to attribute it to male fans or a decrease in female fans and an increase in male fans, not just blame it on the female fansㅋㅋㅋ

-This is getting ridiculous.

-All groups are declining in album sales. Besides, it's not even the end of the first week of sales, so why such articles?

-Blaming women for everythingㅋㅋㅋ It's like they're gonna die if they don't blame everything on women.

-Even if the female fandom has decreased compared to before, what's the big deal?

-What a nonsense article.

-I'm broke.

-Blaming everything on women.

-Why blame female fans???? This is ridiculous...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The female fans decreased?? Why??

-It seems like it'll surpass 1 million copies, isn't it selling well?

-This kind of nitpicking analysis is ridiculous.

-Blaming everything on women again.

-That reporter seems like she wasn't even at the showcase. Everyone around me was a woman.

-?? Album sales are declining for all K-pop groups, right?

-Most of other idols' sales are dropping too

-Idols need to decrease album sales, then they'll have to stop exploiting fans with hundreds of photo cards.

-K-pop albums sales are declining in general. Besides, LE SSERAFIM is selling their albums just fine, and the initial period isn't over already, yet they're talking nonsense.

-The initial period isn't over yet, and even if that number is true, it's still considered good sales.

Sha-la-la Chalamet~ I saw him coming out of the Rice Cake Skewer place. It looked like he had a rice cake skewer there. I asked the security guard if it was Timothée Chalamet, and he replied, 'I don't know!' So, I became convinced that it was really him.

Hello. This is Pledis Entertainment.

We would like to inform you about the return of SEVENTEEN members S.coups and Jeonghan's schedules.

S.coups suffered a knee injury in August last year, while Jeonghan underwent surgery for an ankle injury in December. Both have been undergoing continuous rehabilitation therapy since then.

As a result of consistent treatment and sufficient rest, both S.coups and Jeonghan have shown some improvement in their injured areas. Recently, they have received medical advice that they can handle scheduled activities as long as they do not strain their bodies excessively.

Therefore, S.coups and Jeonghan will resume their schedules with SEVENTEEN TOUR 'FOLLOW' AGAIN TO INCHEON and other activities scheduled from March, while regularly monitoring their health status with medical professionals. However, they may participate in some schedules with limitations on performances or activities to avoid straining their injured areas. We ask for your understanding regarding this matter.

We thank all the fans who have supported S.coups and Jeonghan's recovery. We will continue to prioritize the health of our artists and do our best to ensure that they meet the fans in good health.

Thank you.

It's written in a really creative wayㅋㅋㅋㅋ

instiz

-It's written like the number 3ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I also write like thatㅋㅋㅋ. It's probably quite common, right?

-Looks like ➰

-Cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I used to write like that but changed it because I got confused with alphaㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looks like a pigtail...

-Oh, I also write like that

-I write the same wayㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I wrote 'a' like that for the first time at English academy but my English teacher said, "Isn't this too much like a pig's tail?" so I started writing it like the regular 'a' that most people use.

-Wow, I've never seen that before...

-First time seeing someone write like that

-Her handwriting is really unique and pretty

IU's hand-writing in English looks really fascinatingㅋㅋㅋㅋ
