Jeon So-mi confessed about her days when she suffered from the so-called 'Celebrity Disease'.

Jeon So-mi appeared on YouTube's 'Civilization Express - MMTG' on November 11th and honestly talked about the 'Celebrity Disease' she suffered after her debut.  In general, “celebrity disease” means that celebrities take their status for granted and ask for special treatment because they have influence and popularity. This term is similar to the “diva attitude” term in the Western showbiz.

On this day, Jeon So-mi said, "Actually, after debuting with IOI, the celebrity disease came and went once".

She said, "I thought I had to look perfect in order to work 365 days a year without a day off. So I took it for granted that people around me take care of me." She continued, "There's a difference between asking and 'Please do this~', but I didn't know that. There was something like that,” she explained.

When Jae-jae, the host of Civilization Express asked, “When did you realize it?” Jeon So-mi said, “When I debut, rumors circulate once in a while. Regardless of whether it’s true or not, things like “they said she wouldn’t greet anyone” always went around,” she confessed.

“(I) am a Taekwondo person. A martial arts person. So I suddenly thought, “Did I act so out of my mind?” revealed the thing that encouraged her to cure the celebrity disease.

Jeon So-mi showed off her new charm by releasing her first full-length album 'XOXO' on October 29th.

A male sasaeng fan in his 20s is facing legal consequences after secretly breaking into NewJeans’ former dorm multiple times — and even stealing personal belongings from the popular girl group.

According to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office, the man, referred to as Mr. A, was officially indicted without detention on April 25 for trespassing and theft. Authorities revealed that Mr. A had entered NewJeans’ dorm located in Yongsan District, Seoul, on December 21, 2023, and took items such as a clothes hanger and a banner.

It was discovered that this wasn’t his first break-in. Just three days earlier, he had already entered the dorm once when the door was found unlocked. At the time, he didn’t take anything — but returned days later to steal.

Police say Mr. A knew what he was doing and entered the residence without permission. Fortunately, it was also reported that NewJeans had already moved out of the dorm in December 2023, just one month after their contract with ADOR ended.

This isn’t the first time NewJeans’ safety has been threatened. Back in August 2023, a disturbing post appeared on an online forum threatening a terror attack at the group’s dorm. The anonymous poster even mentioned finding the room number next time — sparking public concern over the members’ safety.

Authorities have not confirmed if the person behind the threatening post is the same as Mr. A, but fans are demanding stronger protections for idols.
