Netizens shared their thoughts on IVE’s long-awaited comeback album "After Like".

On August 22, one netizen took to an online community platform and created a post titled, "How about IVE's new song AFTER LIKE?".

In response, some of the netizens' comments included:

The sentiment of city pop around the turn of the century… I particularly enjoy the section where the chorus is softly spoken following the fall rap.

The song has both a classic feel and a second-generation feel, so it's good for people who want to feel fancy and people who want to feel like they're back in the good old days.

To be honest, it was even better than I had hoped.

The melody is somewhat archaic.

Seeing the good responses on the board, I think it's gooey.

"Love Dive" is too strong.

I remember thinking, "What is this?" the first time I heard it. Since it doesn't feel like this, I think the more I listen to it, the more I'll like it hahaha.

It feels like a 2nd generation female idol song.

It's a little lighter than "Love Dive" and "Eleven", but it's addictive.

It's fine and good. When I listen to the song, I don't feel any regrets, but I don't think there's anything new and different about it yet.

How hard is it to be a female idol these days when Starship doesn't even watch the MVs of other companies? It's too different from the BlackPink or NewJeans MVs that came out.

It seems to be of lower quality than "Eleven" and "Love Dive"… I like city pop, but the rap part was a little bit rough.

I like city pop… It's too trot-like and it's not good ㅜㅜ My younger brother said it was weird ㅜㅜ The melody is also rustic ㅜㅜ.

I'm not sure if this was done on purpose, but it has a rustic feel.

I'm not a fan, but my taste is the best song out of all the songs IVE released so far.

In general, it's better than "Hype Boy", "Attention" and better than "Pink Venom".

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
