According to Herald Biz, Jimin recently shared her emotional stuggles ahead of the release of her new music on her personal social media account, "Finally, there's only one day left until the release of my new album." She added:

"For about a month, I was a total mess. Since I couldn't explain what I was going through, I had become the most sensitive person in the world."

Jimin stated, "I have to keep pushing forward on my own. I felt that if I continued acting this way, even the friends who have been helping me would eventually get tired of me." She added:

"I normally can't drink, but for an entire month, I drank every day just to fall asleep because medication wasn't helping."

She continued, "Honestly, I don't even have many friends to begin with, and lately it's been difficult to even meet up with them. Because I was so sensitive, things wouldn't sort themselves out when we met, and I often came home feeling hurt for some unknown reason."

She went on, saying, "Yesterday (the 8th), we finally finished the music video. After submitting it for review, I cried for about 20 minutes. My face completely went dark and my hair began turning gray. My lips were chapped and I bit my fingers so much that I couldn't even wash my hair comfortably."

She also expressed the pressure of continuing her music career alone, saying:

"Doing everything on my own was so overwhelming. There were so many things to pay attention to. Emotionally, it was very difficult."

She shared, "What does it matter if the song is good? What does it matter if the MV is good? What does it matter if the album jacket is good? So many people dislike me anyway."

She added, "Even my closest friends receive malicious comments simply just because they're friends with me. Rather than being a help, I sometimes feel like I'm holding them back."

Nevertheless, she also expressed gratitude to the people who have remained by her side, saying, "To my friends who have stayed with me through everything, thank you. Thank you for helping and supporting this reckless and unpredictable Jimin." She concluded:

"I don't expect a great amount of love, nor do I dare to imagine it. I just want to be someone that my friends, my fans, and my family can be proud of."

Having debuted as a member of AOA in 2012, Jimin left the team and suspended her activities in 2020. She later resumed her activities in 2022 by appearing in JTBC's 'The Second World.' Her new album is scheduled for release on June 10.

According to Xports News, MAMAMOO appeared as guests in the video posted on Shin Dongyup's Youtube channel on the 8th, where Hwasa and Wheein looked back on an intense argument they had in the past.

In the video, MAMAMOO shared, "We used to fight quite often like real sisters." Solar joked, "It was possible because we were young back then, we still had the energy for it. Our bodies would just react. As we get older, we just get physically too tired."

Hwasa added, "I think fighting can actually be a good thing. It's good to fight things out," to which Shin Dongyup agreed, saying, "Bottling up emotions can lead to unhealthy relationships."

In particular, since Wheein and Hwasa have been close friends since the first year of the middle school, the conversation naturally turned to the fights between the two. Wheein revealed: 

"Rather than small fights, we've actually had a few really big ones. We even got into a fistfight once."

Hearing this, Hwasa immediately added, "On top of that, we were drunk." Wheein recalled, "At first, we were hugging each other, saying we loved each other, and being emotional." She added:

"Somehow, things suddenly escalated over something completely trivial. We started hitting and kicking each other. We fought."

Hwasa emphasized that it was over nothing major, saying, "I don't even remember what caused the argument." Wheein revealed, "Since I'm the type of person who doesn't blackout and Hwasa is the type who does, I remembered everything, but she remembered it differently." She added:

"Things were awkward between us for over a week before we finally made up."

Solar shared that she unintentionally became a messenger between the two, saying, "We had a schedule the next day. Wheein kept asking me to pass messages to Hwasa instead of talking to her directly. She could've just spoken to Hwasa directly, but she kept making me pass the words." She added:

"The two of them wouldn't even look at each other. When I found out later that they had fought, I just hoped they would make up quickly."

On the 6th, a post titled 'Failure in the moral verification of a dating reality show contestant' was uploaded to the workplace community platform 'Blind.' According to Maeil Business, the author raised allegations against a specific dating reality show contestant identified as A, claiming:

"A is a homewrecker who ruined a family and also the defendant in a marital infedility lawsuit."

According to the post, A was allegedly dating a married man identified as B, who has children, at the time when the program was being filmed, stating:

"From the time she applied for the show up until the filming period, she was actually in a relationship but pretended to be single. This was a clear act of deception toward viewers, fellow cast members, and the production staff. Her boyfriend is a married man with a child. She was well aware that the child had only recently been born."

The author added, "While filming the cohabitation part of the show, she would spend early mornings at B's residence and then return to the filming set to continue shooting." In addition, the author claimed that despite repeated requests from B's wife, A still continued the relationship and even lived with him. Furthermore, the author stated that A has not apologized to the victim despite the existence of evidence and instead committed secondary harm by sending letters mentioning possible criminal lawsuits. 

As supporting evidence, the author attached captured images from CCTV footage showing a woman believed to be A engaging in physical contact with a man inside an elevator. After being posted, the claims quickly spread across online communities and social media platforms. However, the post in question has now been deleted, and the authenticity of the claims remains unverified.

In response, a representative of the dating show stated to Sports Seoul, "We are currently verifying the facts." However, production teams generally do not have access to the participants' personal information. When it comes to verifying non-celebrities who are not widely known, they have no choice but to rely entirely on the contestant's own statements.

According to a recent report by Sports Chosun, Tablo's daughter, Lee Haru, has been credited as the sole lyricist of 'Do Your Dance,' the title track of RIIZE's upcoming mini album. 

Haru's musical talent emerged early on. Previously, she made headlines for co-writing the lyrics for KiiiKiii's 'To Me From Me' with her father and also for participating in the subtitle translation for the film 'Nirvana: The Band.' This time, she proved her growth as a songwriter by independently writing the lyrics for the title track of one of the leading 5th Gen K-Pop groups without help from Tablo. Since Tablo himself first entered the music industry as a lyricist when he was still in high school, expectations are growing regarding Haru's future path.

Born in 2010, Haru received great love through KBS2's 'The Return of Superman' where she appeared with her father, Tablo. Recently, Tablo shared through his personal channel:

"Haru is now in her second year of high school. She is currently preparing for the SAT and AP exams."

 

Meanwhile, RIIZE will release their second mini-album 'II' on the 15th. This album aims to showcase the group as they are today, containing six tracks across various genres, including 'Do Your Dance.' Following the enthusiastic response to the pre-release track 'Like a Bomb' that was already released on the 4th, anticipation is high over what kind of synergy the collaboration between Haru and RIIZE will show.
