• Park Yoo Chun Banned from Appearing on TV Shows and Performing in Entertainment Industry

    Group TVXQ and former JYJ member Park Yoochun were banned from appearing on TV shows and performing in entertainment.

    YTN reported on November 10, quoting the words of the legal representative of Yesperar Co. Ltd, Park Yoo Chun's management company, and stated, "An injunction was made to the Seoul Central District Court to ban Park Yoo Chun from appearing on TV shows and continuing activities in the entertainment industry. Late today (on the 10th), the court decided to cite the application."

    A legal representative explained, "The court rejected all of Park Yoo Chun's defenses and decided that he should not be involved in any entertainment industry activities such as producing albums, videos, any promotions, appearances on television, etc."

    Finally, he added, "I would like to thank the court for its wise judgment, and we will try to resolve this issue only from a legal point of view while avoiding acts such as malicious slander or groundless defamation in the case that will be held in the future."

    Previously, Yespera received the management right for Park Yoochun from Re:Cielo until the end of 2024. The former agency, Re:Cielo, filed a lawsuit in August stating, "Park Yoo Chun violated his contract, signed a double contract with a Japanese agency, and spread false information that the CEO of Re:Cielo embezzled money."

    Meanwhile, Park Yoochun was indicted for taking methamphetamine with his ex-girlfriend Hwang Hana in 2019, and was sentenced to 10 months in prison and 2 years of probation at the first trial in July of 2019.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Secretly Helped Her Friend Get a Role? Choi Hee Jin Reveals How Their Friendship Led to a Cameo in ‘Newtopia’

    Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

    Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

    The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

    The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

    “Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

    She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

    The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

    Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

    “Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

    Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
