Actors Ji Soo and Shin Seung Ho are making headlines after a video of their visit to a club in Manila surfaced, dated December 10, 2023.

The clip, which gained attention on TikTok in January 2024, has sparked discussions among Korean audiences.

In the video, Shin Seung Ho is seen without a mask, wearing sunglasses and a cap, while Ji Soo is cautious, keeping his mask on throughout the visit.

The duo's presence caught the eye of many, with Ji Soo even removing his cap to shield his face when he realized people recognized him.

Despite a fan's request for a photo, Ji Soo left quickly after being tapped on the arm by someone who seemed to recognize him.

Contrary to criticism, some netizens defended Ji Soo, pointing out that he had faced public backlash earlier due to accusations of school bullying and sexual assault in March 2021.

His contract with his company was terminated in May 2021, leading to his enlistment in the army later that year.

"Let them be. All these artists should really sue each & every single one of the 'fans.'"

"Why is going to a club a big sin for actors and actresses? Fans don't own their lives."

"To all the delulu people/fans out there, Jisoo and his friends are very much welcome to roam around and have fun here in our country or elsewhere. Btw, your cancel-culture is disgusting!"

Former AOA member Kwon Mina has shared a deeply emotional and heartbreaking update with her fans.

On January 20, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to reveal some difficult news. "I have some upsetting and heartbreaking news to share", she wrote, explaining that her dog, Mochi, had been diagnosed with malignant cancer.

She shared that a lump had been growing on her dog’s leg for years, and despite undergoing several surgeries, it kept coming back. Sadly, the latest diagnosis confirmed it was cancerous.

Kwon Mina’s post continued, "The pain is expected to get worse, and the doctor told me to prepare myself to say goodbye to Mochi, as she will suffer a lot."

She added, "Today, I can’t stop crying, and my heart feels like it’s breaking. I’m looking into options like anesthesia, euthanasia, and funeral arrangements so that she can pass without pain."

She reached out to her followers for advice, asking, "If anyone knows a better solution, please let me know."

Kwon Mina debuted in 2012 as a member of the popular girl group AOA. The group achieved great success with hits like "Heart Attack," "Bingle Bangle," "Like a Cat," and "Miniskirt".

However, in 2020, Kwon Mina opened up about being bullied by her AOA members, leading to the group’s eventual disbandment.

In a more positive update, Kwon Mina also announced on January 15 that she has started a new chapter in her career.

She will be working as a consultant at a dermatology clinic near Sicheong Station, which is set to open in March, signaling her fresh start after a difficult year.

Fans have rallied around Kwon Mina with messages of support as she navigates this emotional time.
