• Jeon So Mi Confessed About Her Days When She Suffered 'Celebrity Disease'

    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.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
