• Kim Seon Ho Considering About Giving Up His Career According to Reporter Kang Kyung Yoon

    While actor Kim Seon-ho was embroiled in controversy over his personal life, one SBS radio show dealt with it in the recent episode.

    On SBS Love FM's 'Lee Jae-ik's Special Forces' broadcast on November 1st, reporter Kang Kyung-yoon of SBS Entertainment News appeared and mentioned Kim Seon-ho's controversy.

    Reporter Kang Kyung-yoon said, "Currently, some people are alleging that Kim Seon Ho is manipulating the media. But as far as I know, he’s not responding at all." He continued, "I heard that this whole situation was such a shock for Kim Seon Ho that he’s even thinking about giving up on everything. That means working in the entertainment business."

    “The strange thing is that the people who are coming forward are not Kim Seon Ho’s friends but his ex-girlfriend A’s friends,” he also added. “Five to six people that are very close to A are sending conversations and text messages between A and Kim Seon Ho to the media outlets. They are claiming that they are feeling sorry for the actor.”

    Recently, Dispatch revealed text messages that Kim Seon Ho and his ex-girlfriend A exchanged when they were dating. The dialogues contain information from the day she found out she was pregnant, after abortion, and even their breakup. The media outlet argues that A is the reason they eventually split up, which completely contradicts A’s original claims.

    As a result, two companies so far have re-posted the actor’s advertisements. Additionally, Kim Seon Ho was not replaced in the new movie Sad Tropics (literal title), putting a green light on his comeback.

  • BTS's Jin Breaks Records Again! Laneige Sees Biggest Sales Ever Thanks to His Star Power

    BTS’s Jin, the global ambassador for Laneige, has once again proven his incredible influence by helping the brand achieve its highest-ever sales record.

    Since expanding into the U.S. market in 2018, Amorepacific’s global beauty brand Laneige has experienced massive growth, largely fueled by the rising popularity of K-pop. However, Laneige hit a new milestone during the Black Friday & Cyber Monday (BFCM) event on Amazon U.S., recording an incredible 127% sales increase compared to last year. Many believe this success is due to Laneige’s decision to select Jin as its first-ever male global ambassador.

    Laneige’s rapid expansion has also had a ripple effect on Amorepacific’s overall sales. For the first time, the company’s sales in the Americas have surpassed those in Greater China, highlighting Jin’s massive brand impact.

    Laneige officially introduced Jin as its global ambassador on September 27, 2023, and his involvement led to an instant surge in product demand. His stunning campaign visuals received an overwhelming response, leading to numerous sold-out products and Laneige topping sales charts worldwide.

    According to WWD Japan, Laneige saw an unexpected sales boom thanks to the "Jin effect." The brand manager of Amorepacific Japan’s Laneige division stated, "With BTS’s Jin joining as an ambassador, sales of 'Cream Skin' lotion have significantly increased. Campaign revenue has doubled from our initial expectations, leading to major brand awareness growth."

    Laneige’s Cream Skin, which was heavily featured in Jin’s global campaign, became an absolute bestseller. It secured the No. 1 sales spot on Japan’s Qoo10 marketplace—not just in beauty, but across all product categories! This cemented Jin’s unstoppable global influence.

    In South Korea, Laneige Cream Skin took over Olive Young’s sales rankings across all gender and age groups. It even sold out in offline stores due to overwhelming demand. The product also dominated the sales charts for seven consecutive days on Laneige’s official U.S. website, earning Jin yet another ‘Sold-Out King’ moment.

    Internationally, the campaign’s success led to immediate sellouts in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Singapore, while in Indonesia, it had to be restocked after being wiped out. A limited-edition mini photobook offered with Jin’s Laneige Cream Skin purchases instantly sold out on China’s top online marketplaces, Taobao and Tmall.

    But Jin’s selling power doesn’t stop at beauty brands! In July 2023, he became the first global ambassador for FRED, a prestigious French high-jewelry house. As expected, luxury pieces, including a $100,000 necklace, sold out immediately after his campaign launched.

    In August 2023, he was introduced as a global ambassador for Gucci, and his endorsement caused rapid sellouts in South Korea, the U.S., and Japan.

    Jin’s ambassadorship for Alo Yoga also made waves, with WWD reporting that his announcement alone generated $3.6 million in media impact value within just 24 hours! His influence also extends into technology and tourism, as he’s partnered with Dolby and served as Seoul’s tourism ambassador.

    His advertising power is undeniable even in the food industry. In 2022, Jin was selected as the model for Ottogi’s Jin Ramen, and the brand quickly saw its highest-ever ramen export sales. The food industry noted that Korea’s ramen exports experienced a huge boost following BTS’s Jin’s campaign, a trend similar to the worldwide ramen boom triggered by Parasite’s Oscar win in 2020.

    From beauty to luxury fashion, tech, and even food, Jin continues to dominate industries worldwide, proving once again why he is a top-tier global superstar.
