IVE has become a hot topic because of the comments they received after beating TWICE in Music Bank.

On September 2, a critical post about IVE began trending on theqoo‘ community board under the title, “After Like Winning First Place On Music Bank Recently“.

The netizen who posted said, “Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. Twice appeared on the digital chart for three days, but it was released on Friday.“

The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

Why the fuck are their digital outcomes so dissimilar?

Twice's digital points are that low?

Look at how evenly the scores are distributed.

The evidence of a generational shift

IVE sold 900,000 albums, and they only gave me this many physical points? Perhaps Twice is selling more.

But, with Ive out for a week and Twice only three days, what did they do with their broadcast points?

Youhoo Twice's song is also good. battling to both.

Wow, you can get 6000 pts in broadcast after only being back for 3 days? It's almost as if Ipoints ve's were such a stumbling block that they attempted to compensate elsewhere.

They were nominated for #1 twice as soon as they returned, they did well, and they are f*cking pretty.

How does JYP keep getting so many broadcast points…? I'm intrigued…

What are your thoughts about IVE beating TWICE?

Kim Jaejoong, the famous singer and businessman, recently revealed that he was the victim of a hacking incident involving his Kakao Pay account, raising concerns about his financial safety.

On May 7, the star shared his experience with fans via the official fan platform From, explaining that his Kakao Pay account was hacked and the password was changed without his permission. As a result, Kim Jaejoong was locked out of his account and couldn’t access any of his information, which made the situation even more difficult to handle.

He expressed frustration over the customer service process, sharing that he had contacted support multiple times for help. Despite talking to a representative for over an hour, the issue wasn’t resolved. Kim Jaejoong pointed out a flaw in the system: “The hacker changed the password, so why do I, the victim, have to prove everything?”

Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career. In 2023, he co-founded iNKODE Entertainment, a company where he works as a producer and businessman. iNKODE Entertainment currently manages artists like Oh Ji Yul, Jung Si Hyun, Lee Ji Hoon, and others. Kim Jae joong also launched the 7-member girl group Say My Name last year.

Even though he’s facing challenges, Kim Jaejoong’s career remains strong, and he’s taking steps to ensure this type of situation doesn’t happen again.
