• Kang Daniel takes legal action against a major shareholder of his agency, alleging a 10 billion won fraud

    Kang Daniel has taken legal action against Person A, the main shareholder of his agency, KONNECT Entertainment. Daniel, who also holds the position of CEO at KONNECT, has accused Person A of several charges.

    As per reports from the music industry on May 20th, Daniel lodged a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency against Person A. The charges include forgery of private documents, embezzlement, breach of trust, infringement of information and communication networks, and computer fraud, among others.

    Person A is recognized as the real owner of KONNECT, owning about 70% of the shares as the main shareholder. Since its establishment in 2019, Daniel has been serving as the CEO of KONNECT.

    The reason behind Daniel's legal action is reportedly due to issues with a prepayment distribution contract worth 10 billion won.

    Daniel alleges that Person A forged his signature as the representative in December 2022 and stamped the corporate seal without his knowledge to enter into this prepayment distribution contract.

    In the music world, a prepayment distribution contract is an agreement where a singer gets a large investment from a distributor and pays it back with the profits from music and album sales.

    KONNECT received an investment of about 8.8 billion won in the first round through this contract. It's reported that Daniel, who released the album 'REALIEZ' last year and was active, has paid back about half and still owes about 4.5 billion won in investment money.

    Furthermore, Daniel alleges that Person A withdrew a large sum of money from the company's account, misused the corporate card, and withdrew a large sum of money from Daniel's personal account without his consent. These allegations are included in the complaint.

    Kang Daniel, a winner of Mnet's audition program 'Produce 101 Season 2', has been active as a singer, actor, and MC after his stint with the group 'Wanna One'.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
