• Netizens defend Jang Won Young against hate posts saying that she is manipulative to all other IVE members

    Gaeul and Wonyoung who romantically selected

    IVE's content required them to divide 3 by 3. They chose groups to take the canoe or the cable car.

    At first, she was picked for the canoeing team, but it was clear from the way she looked that she didn't like it.


    Liz then said she wanted to try canoeing, but she quickly took it away and changed her mind.

    But are we really going in the water for the canoeing?
    *depressed*


    Yujin, on the other hand, said that the teams were the same as before, so they should switch teams again.


    So the staff walked in and were again startled and shook.


    She watched as the staff moved around and chose the person she wanted right away.

    "But I actually want to try something romantic"
    "Huh? Then swap with me"
    "Ahn PD team VS Gaeul writer team"
    *Eyes shaking*
    *the youth feeling anxious premonition*


    In the end, she chose the cable car, which was the one she liked best.


    And when she picked it up, she said things like "I'm trusting my fate" and other such things.

    Other netizens then commented:

    *the youth feeling anxious premonition*
    "I'm going to trust my fate"

    I don't think she's trying to trick people. I think she just wants to be in charge. When things don't go her way, she will avoid them like the plague. She probably doesn't want to canoe because it might get her hair wet or mess up her makeup. Or she might not have wanted to do it that day… But it's not like she's whining or making Liz do it. She just seems to want to be in charge, so it's a bit harsh to call her manipulative.

    I watched because I was interested. But Liz said "I want to do that romantic thing," so Wonyoung said, "Huh? Then let's switch with me," she said. Liz asked, "Can we switch?"" "If we can change, let's change," said Wonyoung. "How about this?" "I want to take the canoe," Liz said to the staff. "Then you guys can change," said the staff. Liz and Wonyoung were holding each other's paddles, but it didn't last more than a second before they switched. Wonyoung: "Thank you Liz-yah!" Liz: "I wanted to go canoeing." What's wrong with that?

    But she only wants to do things that are easy and make her look good while she does them, which is making her less likeable. She wants to be treated like a princess, and it's so clear

    You're trying too hard to hide your low self-esteem in this post.

    She doesn't try to trick people; she just does what's best for herself.

    "I'm going to trust my fate"
    *noisy*

  • Choi Si Hoon dragged into queer dating show drama—netizens claim he’s the shady CEO, fans beg Ailee to check

    Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

    Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

    The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

    “I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
    Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

    Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

    However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

    Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

    Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
    This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

    Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

    On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

    As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

    Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

    So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
