Popular YouTuber Song Jia, known by her online persona "Free Zia," has recently found a new home for her career.

On May 10th, Sublime, a management company under the HLL group, announced that they have signed an exclusive contract with Song Jia, recognizing her influence and multi-faceted talents as a creator and YouTuber.

HLL and Sublime expressed their excitement about partnering with Song Jia on her new journey, acknowledging her diverse skills and accomplishments.

Through her active presence on platforms like Instagram and YouTube, Song Jia has been sharing her daily life, beauty tips, and fashion sense with her fans, steadily expanding her popularity.

Song Jia gained global attention for her stunning features and flawless physique when she appeared in the widely acclaimed Netflix series "Single's Inferno" in 2021.

Sublime, the agency that secured an exclusive contract with Song Jia, represents a roster of esteemed actors, singers, models, and influencers in South Korea.

Notable figures under Sublime's management include actors Song Kang-ho, Go So-young, Kim Hee-jung, Yoon Jung-hee, Ki Eun-se, Girls' Generation's Tiffany Young, EXID's Hani, model Kim Jin-kyung, and Han Hyun-min.

With Song Jia now joining forces with Sublime, there is great anticipation among fans and the public about the future direction of her career and the image she will present.

However, Song Jia had faced a controversy last year when it came to light that she had used counterfeit luxury bags and shoes.

As the controversy escalated, she admitted to her use of counterfeit items and issued a sincere apology, followed by a period of self-reflection.

After a hiatus of approximately four months, Song Jia announced her comeback on Instagram in June of the previous year.

Earlier this year, her contract with Hyowon CNC, where actor Kang Ye-won serves as a co-CEO, came to an end.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
