• (G)I-DLE's Agency Cube Entertainment Will Not Released Their "2022 Seasons Greeting" Due To Their Tight Schedule

    Cube Entertainment announced that they will not release '(G)I-DLE when it announced the production of Season's Greetings for its artists.

    Cube Entertainment announced on November 17th that their artists BTOB, Pentagon, and LIGHTSUM Season Greetings were sold.

    However, '(G)I-DLE' added that Season's Greetings will not be released inevitably due to the artist's schedule.

    The group '(G)I-DLE' debuted in 2018 with Soyeon, Minni, Miyeon, Shuhua, Woogi, and Sujin.

    Since then, they have gained popularity with a number of songs such as 'Latata', 'Han', 'Dumb Dum D', and 'Hwa', but in February, when Sujin was suspected of being a perpetrator of school violence, the members went into individual activities.

    Earlier, Sujin was caught up in allegations of bullying when an online community posted in February that she had assaulted and ostracized a classmate while in school. In the process, Seo Shin-ae, who graduated from the same school as Su-jin, was also identified as a victim of bullying. After Sujin complained of injustice and demanded an official position related to the school violence, Seo Shin-ae confessed through her Instagram that she had been bullied for two years.

    After that, Sujin, who had been silent, announced the news of her departure to the group after six months. Cube Entertainment, Sujin's agency, issued an official statement on October 14th of last month, saying, "We bow our heads and apologize for causing concern over the controversy related to Sujin."

    In addition, Cube Entertainment explained, "The police are currently investigating the allegation of school violence against Sujin. Sujin is still complaining about injustice, but she felt burdened by causing damage to the entire team."

    Here is Cube Entertainment Official Statement:

  • 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.
