(G)I-DLE is getting ready to come back with a brand new concept, and fans love every single teaser that the girl group has put out so far.

For their album "I Love", which will come out later this month, (G)I-DLE put out some bold, retro teaser photos that show off their charms and charisma. In this set of concept photos, the members show off their sensuality even more.

On the same day, a netizen posted some photos of the concept and said how great it was for the girl group.

The netizen who created the online post explained, "I thought this was the best concept photo (G)I-DLE had ever made. What's going on with my heart?".

Other netizens quickly responded with comments and expressed their excitement such as:

I can't tell you how excited I am about this!!!!!

Is that a Marilyn Monroe concept?

Jeon So-yeon seriously ate this concept up.

Minnie seriously looks like a Barbie doll with that hair.

She looks like someone who lived in that generation. It looks like a beauty's picture taken in 1950 restored.

Shuhua really dyed her hair???? For real???? I saw a few interviews of her saying she won't dye her hair, anyways, she's so pretty

Seeing the styling like that, Yuqi and Shuhua really look alike. Not lookalikes, but Shuhua has Yuqi's vibe.

They're always legendary everytime.

No but what's up with Jeon So-yeon's ability to pull off concepts? For real, she reminds me of Monroe..

Wow their visuals are insane.

Just when in the world is this dropping!!!?

Wow how did they pick such good pictures? I know exactly what they're trying to express. The vibe is daebak.

Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE will return with the 5th mini-album "I Love" on October 17 at 6 PM KST. How are you liking their comeback concept?

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.
