• Bulgarian Singers Accused of Copying (G)I-DLE's Concept

    K-pop fans, we’ve got some tea to spill! Bulgarian artists Yanitsa and Bilyanish are under fire from netizens for allegedly plagiarizing a concept from (G)I-DLE’s “Super Lady” in their new music video for “Sipvay.”

    In “Super Lady,” Yuqi rocks a Cruella de Vil-inspired look, complete with a black and white fur coat and matching outfit.

    The music video set is a visual treat with a white background dotted with black polka dots, white columns lining the walkway, and a black carpet for Yuqi to strut her stuff.

    Fast forward to Yanitsa and Bilyanish’s music video, and it’s déjà vu! The singers are seen on a set strikingly similar to Yuqi’s scene.

    Yanitsa even sports a look that’s eerily similar to Yuqi’s Cruella-inspired ensemble.

    But the similarities don’t end there. Yuqi is seen walking a dalmatian on a leash, adding to the Cruella de Vil vibe and complementing the black and white set. Guess what? Yanitsa is seen doing the same!

    When you compare the still shots of the two music videos, the resemblance is uncanny. From the backdrop to the columns and carpet, and even the artists’ fashion, it’s hard to ignore the similarities.

    The Twitterverse is buzzing with side-by-side comparisons of the two music videos. However, there’s been radio silence from the singers and their agencies so far.

  • Chun Jung Myung’s Manager Now Serving Time After Stealing Billions, Source Reveals

    Actor Chun Jung Myung has opened up about a devastating betrayal by his former manager, who swindled tens of billions of won from his family. The former manager, who had been trusted like family, is now serving prison time for his actions.

    In the December 8 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung shared the shocking details of his financial fraud ordeal with fellow cast members Lee Sang Min and Kim Heechul.

    He explained, "I was financially defrauded by the manager I had worked with for 16 years since my debut. He forged documents to steal money and even caused huge financial losses for my parents."

    A close source confirmed on December 9, "The manager mentioned on the show ultimately couldn’t repay the damages and is now serving his prison sentence for fraud."

    The source also revealed that Chun Jung Myung suffered losses in the tens of billions of won. The emotional toll was severe, leading to social anxiety, and he even considered retiring from the entertainment industry due to the devastating betrayal.

    Chun Jung Myung debuted in 1999 with the drama School 2 and became a household name with roles in Beijing, My Love, Fashion 70s, and What's Up Fox? However, after his role in the 2019 drama Urban Cops: KCSI, he suddenly disappeared from the spotlight, sparking concerns from fans.

    An entertainment agency CEO weighed in, saying, "Celebrities, especially those with limited real-world experience, are vulnerable to scams because of their public status. Some get trapped and lose vast amounts of money after being used as figureheads."

    An entertainment law expert added, "Fraud cases are tricky because proving the intent to steal is difficult. If someone makes an enticing offer, always ask, ‘Why me and not them?’ Skepticism is key."
