Girl group 'Alice' member Sohee (24, Kim Sohee) is retiring from the entertainment industry as she's getting married.

According to YTN's report today (26th), Sohee will marry her boyfriend, a businessman 15 years older than her, with whom she has been in a relationship for a year. They plan to submit their marriage registration next month and will hold a small wedding ceremony with family and friends before the end of the year. At the same time, she will retire from the entertainment industry.

Sohee's exclusive contract with OK Company is set to expire next month, but she has decided not to renew it and retire. An OK Company official told YTN, "It's right for Sohee to marry her boyfriend. She has decided to retire from the entertainment industry, concluding her exclusive contract."

-I really liked Alice.... They had so many good songs but didn't get much recognition... All the members were pretty and talentedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-He's turning 40 next yearㅠㅠ

-These days, 41 isn't that old...ㅋㅋㅋ The age gap is over the top, but if you think about it, she's the same age as actors like Lee Jehoon and Lee Junhyuk... But when I see Sohee, it's just so sad. She has everything, beauty, talent, but ultimately, couldn't make it as an idolㅠㅠ 

-Huh? Wow, Sohee's much younger... I hope she lives happily

-Female celebs tend to marry much older businessmen

-Sohee is really beautiful

-No, this can't be...ㅠㅠㅠ

-Sohee, such a wasted talentㅜㅜ

-Wow... She's the only member I knew in this group, and she's retiring? Such a shame, her visuals were really good

-I'm one year older than Sohee, but 40 seems like an old man...

-Oh my, if she's born in '99, she's really young, she's only 25 years old in international age

-What the heck, we're the same ageㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The age difference...

-Wait, she's 24?? Why is she getting married so soonㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Wishing her a happy life


ALICE Sohee to Marry Businessman Boyfriend Who is 15 Years Older Than Her ... Retires From Entertainment Industry

Anything can be inserted in between I'LL and IT

The group name 'ILLIT' combines the autonomous and progressive will (I Will) with the pronoun signifying something special (It), implying the ability to tackle anything and the anticipation of what may come.

The group name 'IVE' is derived from the abbreviation of 'I HAVE', shortened to 'I'VE', implying the aspiration to confidently showcase everything they possess.

I found IVE has an unique group name because when you attach a word after it, it can be anything. Something about its usage and the way it appeared in various contexts kept lingering in my mind, making it feel somewhat intriguing.

theqoo

-This is interesting

-They're definitely doing this on purpose.

-It lacks originality. 

-Considering what they've done so far, this sounds convincing.

-They blatantly copiedㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't believe they didn't consciously think of IVE when they came up with ILLIT's nameㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even if they copy, they can't keep up with the original

-We can't just let this pass

-I had no idea that was the meaning behind ILLIT's name

-I had a feeling something was off, and it turns out to be copied from IVE...

-Seriously? They're copying everything?

-I thought the I in ILLIT was from I-LAND?
  ㄴILLIT is from R U Next. Enhypen is the one from I-LAND.

-I thought IVE was really innovative.

-They hastily formed a girl group to counter IVE, so they probably came up with the group name while thinking about that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Seems like they can't make a group without copying someone else, huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ILLIT and IVE Group Name Being Discussed in Korean Online Communities

Hanni sent me a text that said, 'CEO-nim, you seem to be having a really hard time. You're there, aren't you? I'll go there' 

The previous night, Haerin video called me... Crying...

She said she cried as soon as she heard my voice. Hyein cried for 20 minutes straight. 

Hyein said she would go on Phoning to explain it allㅠㅠㅠ I stopped her, but Hyein is stubborn so she does things her wayㅠㅠ (New Jeans') mothers are all worried I might commit suicide. But now (Her voice changed after crying until just now), why should I die?

The day Hyein said she would do a live broadcast, it was a time when public opinion towards Min Heejin was severely negative due to HYBE's media play. Despite being 17 years old, she wants to try anything she can do to helpㅠㅠㅠ

theqoo

-It's not sad, it's weird. Why are the kids getting involved in adult fights? 

-The girls are too niceㅠㅠ

-Hmm... I'm not sure about this...

-It's not a healthy relationship;;;

-I understand that they're affectionate with each other, but from the perspective of a third party, it seems like a really weird relationship. 

-I understand what they're feeling, but let's not exploit this.

-I wish they hadn't exposed this...

-But should we really just be sad about this...? Min Heejin is an adult in her 40s and a representative of the agency. Shouldn't she prioritize protecting a 17-year-old instead?ㅜㅜ

-Just let the adults fight amongst themselves.

-Wait, is it right to involve a middle schooler so deeply in adult financial disputes?

-An '08 liner comforting someone in their 40s... This isn't a good thing...

-It's eerie.

-No, this has to stop...

-This is a bit... it's an unhealthy relationship.

-What is this...

New Jeans' members and Min Heejin seem to have an incredibly sad relationship

I have ADHD, but I can concentrate really well

Actually, I usually can't watch this kind of thing for more than 10 minutes. But I watched the entire live stream yesterday. 

theqoo

-Yeah, I watched the whole thingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-2 hours feel quite long even for a movie, but this press conference went by in a flash

-Not gonna lie, I thought I'd only watch for a moment. But then I ended up watching the whole thing. 

-I like watching long Youtube videos, so this was perfect for me.

-I had things to do, but I still watched it until the endㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't even watch it for 5 minutes. It stresses me out too much. 

-My friend is addicted to Youtube Shorts, so she usually can't watch long videos. But she watched the entire press conference from start to finish. I cracked up when she told me about itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She had a nasty temperament, just like the killer professor you at least have one in your college. Someone who would say, 'If you misunderstand this, you're gonna get screwed up!'

-She spoke so fluently and clearlyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She should become a lecturerㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I was super focused. My concentration skills were on pointㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I kinda got sucked into it, even though the content was a bit exhausting.

-Not gonna lie, I was a bit sad when it endedㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm having a hard time concentrating lately, I can only watch movies through summary videos. But I watched the whole thing.

-I wish it lasted for 3 hoursㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The Unexpected Talent That Min Heejin Showed Yesterday

Min Heejin yesterday



New Jeans' teaser that was released today

Is she really promoting New Jeans in the midst of it all?

theqoo

-This is exactly what I was thinkingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The fact that she still takes her time to promote New Jeans in the midst of it all is so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She might have subconsciously picked up the same shirt and hat because she keeps staring at that picture before the press conferenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Heejin-ssi, I agree that Minji is really beautifulㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI suddenly thought of Min Heejin as I scrolled through New Jeans' teasersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So her outfit yesterday was a spoiler for New Jeans' comeback after allㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like Minji is really Min Heejin's museㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Heejin coreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It seems like she only has New Jeans inside her headㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Okay... We got it, Min Heejin. You're crazy for New Jeans. We got it. 

-It looks so comfy and pretty, though...

-She's a fool for New Jeans...

-She really loves Minji, doesn't she?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ



NEW! Heejin Core

It's very cheap of HYBE to release RM's solo album on the same date as New Jeans' album release date... Not to mention that they said they will also support New Jeans' comeback.

On May 26th, Big Hit Music, under HYBE label, announced through Weverse and BTS' official accounts that RM's 2nd Solo Album 'Right Place, Wrong Person' will be simultaneously released on May 24th at 1PM. 

This is HYBE. We'd like to provide guidance regarding legal actions to protect the rights of New Jeans. New Jeans is set to continue various activities, including the release of a new music video on the upcoming 27th and double single releases in May and June. We will do our best to support New Jeans' comeback activities without any disruption.

New Jeans' was announced on March 26th. 
RM's was announced yesterday.

theqoo

-It's getting chaotic here...

-BTS' fans are pissed as well to hear this. We f*cking hate HYBE. 

-He prepared his music so that his fans wouldn't get bored when he's in the army. But these HYBE bastards use his music for their own fights. It's seriously hopeless. Wake up.

-HYBE shamelessly using BTS and their fans... It's so disgraceful. Min Heejin's words were confirmed right away. 

-RM is also a victim here. HYBE is so shameless.

-This is really disrespectful to RM. 

-Do they really have to go this far?

-HYBE is using BTS again. It's sickening. 

-RM must be so annoyed to hear this. 

-It's really pathetic of HYBE to use BTS and their fans like this. Disgusting. 

-That is very HYBE-like of them. Can't you see who the real problem here is?

-They're so petty...

-Why are they doing this? The intention is so obvious...

-Leave the artists out of your fights

The Release Date for RM's Solo Album is the Same as New Jeans' Comeback Date

MHJ: F*ck this, I don't know anymore. It feels unfair, you know? It's impossible not to curse. There are too many bastards like that. I need to relieve some stress too, you know? Didn't I tell you that I go to a psychiatrist? Park Jiwon, you also have depression, don't you? I've been diagnosed with depression for 10 years now. 

I didn't even know she was having a press conference and happened to start watching it from this scene. What is this? Even the lawyer's expression at the end is perfect. Isn't this part a perfect representation of the whole press conference?

theqoo 

-This is actually really sad. I know the public finds it amusing and funny, but... Ultimately, only Min Heejin has to take responsibility. She's choosing to fight in an even more unfavorable battle. 

-When dealing with crazy people, you have to be just as crazy. Do you really think HYBE will spare Min Heejin just because they're staying quiet?

-If you've been battling with depression for ten years, just take a break. It's not like you're being asked to do something extraordinary for K-pop, right? You get paid for your work too. Just like everyone else. 

-Is this supposed to be funny?

-She really said, 'If I'm going down, you're going down with me too'. Yeah, it's true when people say that you gotta be a little crazy yourself if you're going to deal with crazy bastards. 

-It's getting really chaotic here

-I wouldn't be able to stay sane if something like that happened to me

-This whole petty fight is just ridiculous

-I really admire her. She's impressive. 

-Is it okay to criticize others' mental health if she's depressed herself? Just because she's been struggling for over ten years, does that mean someone who's currently depressed isn't struggling? People who find this funny and refreshing really lack empathy. Even if you don't understand other parts, this part shouldn't be funny. It's not an issue if Park herself directly talks about her depression, but it's a big problem if others do.

-Min Heejin is not a doctor or medical professional. The duty to protect patient confidentiality lies with medical professionals. 

-Go fight it out in court, I'm already tired of this. 

-She's been seeing a psychiatrist because of HYBE? And she's had depression for over 10 years...?
