Aespa's Ningning shared an advice for mental care.

On the 29th, fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar Korea posted a vide titled, 'What is the secret to Aespa Ningning's mental health?' on its official Youtube channel.

In the video, when asked which exercise is the most effective, Ningning replied, "Deadlifts." She recommended it, saying, "It's actually fun. If you want to build muscle quickly, consistency is key."

She laughed and said, "As for my straight shoulders, both my parents have very wide, square shoulders. So, I think it's DNA." She added, "If you work on your arms and back, it can also fix your posture and it makes you look prettier."

When asked about her mental care routine, Ningning said, "Always have a positive mindset and think, 'Let's just hang in there a little longer,' and good things will definitely come to you. No matter how much advices other people give you, your mental health can only get better if you realize it yourself."

When asked which member she'd like to switch lives with for a day, Ningning chose Winter, saying, "Winter's preferences are very different from mine. I'm not a very planned person, while Winter is very planned. I'd like to try living like that for just one day."

I asked Jiwoo to list three types of men women shouldn't date and she said not to date 'ugly men'


A female idol who said not to date ugly men (1710 comments)

Hearts2Hearts' Jiwoo told a fan to not date ugly men... And now the Korean men on FMKorea are going wild like cockroaches hit by poison after being struck by a fact^^

Like Ian, Hearts2Hearts members are becoming very likable these days. I'm rooting for them.

-They must have gotten offended because they're ugly.

-Why are they so mad??????

-Didn't she just state something obvious, like 1+1=2??

-If you weren’t ugly, there’d be nothing to get offended about 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

-Why are they getting mad? It seems like they're admitting they are ugly, right?

-I mean... It's simple. Just don't be uglyㅜ

-So… Are you saying we should date ugly men now?

-'Cockroaches hit by poison'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are you so offended, ugly men?

-These things are not only ugly, but also have disgusting personalities too...

-Who would want to date someone ugly?... She just stated something so obvious, though?ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ

-Jiwoo is so smart 💗

-Do they not like pretty women themselves? This is seriously ridiculousㅋㅋㅋ

-Just be handsome, then?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Which salty Hannam got offended by this? Let me see your fce.

-She didn't say anything wrong.

 Yoonchae, the Korean member, was born in 2007.

Their new Halloween video is also being criticized as inappropriate for a minor

That's a 17 year old dawg 😭 https://t.co/MEpXcLcuDA

This video is under fire because not only the minor member Yoonchae, but nearly half of KATSEYE members are under 20, and yet their choreography and outfits are overly sexual. 

Their international ages


theqoo

-Hul, I thought they were all adults. Is HYBE crazy?

-Isn't Yoonchae still in high school...?

-Their outfits were really short… at least Yoonchae’s seemed a bit more covered than the others. Maybe it's because the U.S. is their main market?

-It's HYBE. I'm not even surprised.

-Aren't foreign countries actually more sensitive about things like this than South Korea?

-The outfits were always revealing, but I thought international fans didn't care.. I guess this issue is just breaking late.

-It was a bit much from the beginning... But everyone seemed to like it and kept calling them 'hot girls,' which honestly, I found strange. Apparently, exposing your skin makes you a hot girl.

-I knew this would come up someday...

-Wasn't this the group that had moaning sounds in their song too?

-If you look at Yoonchae's personal fashion taste, you'll notice that she doesn't seem like the type to prefer revealing clothes. That's why this bothers me even more.

-Wait, there's another underage member?? I heard people saying that Yoonchae's covered up a bit more than the other members because she's underage... Does the other underage member not need covering? Even if they're a global group, can't they wait until they're all adults to do such concepts?

-Their ages are even more shocking to me. The other members besides Yoonchae are young too.

-Hul, even just watching that video, half of their butts are showing.

-If there are minors in the group, be more careful with the concept. What is that? 

KATSEYE faces backlash overseas for sexualizing a minor

Jung Jiwoo, the older sister of BTS' J-Hope, announced she's closing down her fashion brand business.

On the 30th, Jung Jiwoo shared the news on her personal account, saying, "I have some heavy news to share. As I face the fast-changing market trends and the practical challenges of running a brand, there were endless trials and errors. After a long thought, I have decided to end the journey of my brand Charmeeze at this point."

She continued, "Charmeeze is a brand I genuinely ran for over two years, putting in 10 years of my experience and taste in fashion. As I communicate through the language of clothing and showcasing various styles, I know how precious and meaningful this long time to me. It was extremely difficult to make this decision. That's why I have so many mixed feelings and great regret."

She then expressed her gratitude, saying, "Most importantly, I was able to try new things without fear because of the customers who have supported me throughout my 10 years in clothing business."

She added, "Now, as I close one chapter, I want to deeply reflect on better and more sustainable ways to move forward as a brand director and creator. I would be grateful if you could continue to watch my next journey."

[+55][-4] If it weren't for her younger brother.......

[+35][-1] After Mina’s sister-in-law, now we’re hearing about J-Hope’s sister tooㅋㅋ

[+29][-1] Is this person a celebrity?

[+21][-0] Isn’t Lee Yikyung going to sue that woman?? That's surprisingㅎ She harassed him so much, yet he’s just letting it goㅎ

-The timing is unbelievableㅎㅎ

-Whoa... This shows they seriously have no conscience. They clearly know what's going on right now. They really have no conscience leftㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They should pay if they want to use the name CBX.

-Oh... I thought ChenBaekXi was just a nickname used for the EXO members who left the company, but they were actually a sub-unit group????

-Whoa... Impressive. They're celebrating themselves in this situation?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Did they get permission to use the name ChenBaekXi?

-Congratulations, ByunKimKim.

-It's already been 9 years. I'm just sad ㅠㅠ I remember how excited I was back then when they first debuted.

-Are they even allowed to use the name ChenBaekXi?

-At this point, it feels like the agency is trying to mock them🤔

-Yeah, sure, be happy~

-Use ByunKimKim. Or if you want to use the name ChenBaekXi, pay up.

-???? In this situation?

-Can't SM Ent. file a trademark lawsuit against them over the name ChenBaekXi?

Moon Gabi shared pictures of her son with Jung Woosung outside of marriage.

On the 30th, Moon Gabi shared photos on her personal social media account showing her daily life with her son, whom she had with Jung Woosung. The photos show Moon Gabi and her son walking along the beach and visiting traditional Korean houses. Her son seems to have grown quite a bit. They look relaxed while enjoying their walk, drawing a lot of attention.

Previously, Moon Gabi had publicly announced that she gave birth to a son on her social media account. It was later revealed that the father of that child is Jung Woosung, shocking the public. At the time, Jung Woosung's agency, Artist Company, confirmed the news, saying, "The child revealed by Moon Gabi on social media is indeed Jung Woosung's biological son. Both sides are currently discussing the best approach to raise the child. Jung Woosung will take full responsibility as a father."

Shortly after the news, Jung Woosung issued an apology on stage at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, saying, "I sincerely apologize for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has sent me love and support. I will take all the criticism upon myself. As a father, I will fulfill my responsibilities until the end."

Since then, Jung Woosung has reportedly registered his marriage with his longtime non-celebrity girlfriend, and they recently became legally married.

[+238][-9] They look happy. Grow up well, little one.

[+186][-27] The child is truly pitiful.

[+42][-4] What a heartwarming sight to see~~ As long as you have your child, nothing else matters, right? From what I've experienced, I realized that husbands are not really necessary. Fighting~~

[+35][-2] I wonder what Jung Woosung thinks when he sees these photos being made public.

[+33][-4] She’s raising him beautifully. Even if he takes after his mom, he’ll have a unique and handsome charm.

[+26][-2] It's true that these pictures are uncensored, but... The reporter's playing word games here.

I think this whole NewJeans situation is a small-scale example that shows the structural problems in Korean society

Forcing the girls to return to a company where trust is completely broken and telling them to just finish their contract period is too violent and suffocating.

I believe NewJeans has the right to leave HYBE and be free.

Decades from now, when Korean society looks back on this day, people will clearly realize how all this unfairness against NewJeans was based on outdated values, and they will deeply feel ashamed.

It's disgusting how so many people seem to enjoy 'disciplining' these young girls under the guise of 'teaching them a lesson.' 

Min Heejin, who reportedly hires 7 lawyers to sue an ordinary female employee over a workplace harassment issue, represents yet another structural problems in Korean society. 

theqoo

-Is a contract a joke? What even is the cause of the broken trust?

-Emotions don't solve anything.

-...? Do you think NewJeans would be treated any differently in another country? Legally, they'd probably face even worse consequences. They would probably have to pay more compensation.

-That is exactly what you call a contract...

-Do you think this only happened because they're young girls?? Things escalated this far and you think this only happened because they're young...??

-What do you think is a contract then? If they don't want to return to that company, they should pay penalty fees then.

-Why sign a contract in the first place then?? Just make a pinky promise instead.

-How shameless... Why do you think contracts even exist in the first place?? They brought this upon themselves.

-What do you think the law is?? You can't break the law just by throwing a tantrum.

-That person must be a minor too.

-The result would've been exactly the same even if they're a boy groupㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why do contracts exist? It exists to be followed.

-Where did things go wrong? Do they not understand how contracts work?

-Hang in there, NewJeans, I support you.

-Do they think Korea’s law and contracts are a joke?

-What are they even saying… do they not have a brain?

I think this whole NewJeans situation is a small-scale example that shows the structural problems in Korean society
