• “OMG, What Happened?” —Actress Han So Hee Faces Another Loss as Ad Contract Terminated

    Actress Han So Hee's advertising woes continue as another contract bites the dust.

    Reported by Xports News on May 23, the used car platform Hey Dealer, which previously featured Han So Hee as its advertising face, has now opted for Suzy and Lee Jung Eun as its new models.

    Suzy and Lee Jung Eun have already wrapped up their ad shoot, marking a fresh start for Hey Dealer.

    Han So Hee had been endorsing Hey Dealer since last year, with her vlog-style ad garnering positive feedback in March.

    However, her public acknowledgment of her relationship with actor Ryu Jun Yeol, followed by a spat with singer and actress Hyeri, led to the deactivation of comments on Hey Dealer's ads, tarnishing her image.

    This negative perception, coupled with failed contract renewals with other companies like Chum-Churum and NH Nonghyup Bank, led Hey Dealer to part ways with Han So Hee.

    Meanwhile, on May 19, Han So Hee graced the 77th Cannes International Film Festival in France as a Boucheron ambassador, showcasing her stunning beauty amidst the ad woes.

  • Kim Jaejoong's Kakao Pay account hacked — did he lose 1 trillion won in assets?

    Kim Jaejoong, the famous singer and businessman, recently revealed that he was the victim of a hacking incident involving his Kakao Pay account, raising concerns about his financial safety.

    On May 7, the star shared his experience with fans via the official fan platform From, explaining that his Kakao Pay account was hacked and the password was changed without his permission. As a result, Kim Jaejoong was locked out of his account and couldn’t access any of his information, which made the situation even more difficult to handle.

    He expressed frustration over the customer service process, sharing that he had contacted support multiple times for help. Despite talking to a representative for over an hour, the issue wasn’t resolved. Kim Jaejoong pointed out a flaw in the system: “The hacker changed the password, so why do I, the victim, have to prove everything?”

    Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

    Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

    Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career. In 2023, he co-founded iNKODE Entertainment, a company where he works as a producer and businessman. iNKODE Entertainment currently manages artists like Oh Ji Yul, Jung Si Hyun, Lee Ji Hoon, and others. Kim Jae joong also launched the 7-member girl group Say My Name last year.

    Even though he’s facing challenges, Kim Jaejoong’s career remains strong, and he’s taking steps to ensure this type of situation doesn’t happen again.
