Get ready for a seismic shift in the K-pop landscape as MC Mong takes the reins as executive producer for Big Planet Made's newest sensation, BADVILLAIN.

In a thrilling announcement on the 3rd, Big Planet Made Entertainment revealed, "Under the moniker 'Villain36,' MC Mong has assumed the role of executive producer for BADVILLAIN. With boundless dedication, MC Mong has crafted Bad Villain into the quintessential 5th generation girl group."

While MC Mong has left an indelible mark in the industry with his solo endeavors and collaborative projects, this marks his inaugural venture into launching a group, placing his name front and center.

A luminary of the 2000s K-pop era, MC Mong's chart-topping hits including "180 Degrees," "Circus," and "A Letter to You" resonate to this day, showcasing his unparalleled knack for creating music that captivates the masses.

The anticipation for what the maestro MC Mong has in store for his girl group knows no bounds.

Last month, on the 20th, MC Mong sent shockwaves through social media with his bold proclamation, stating, "An artist is not about money."

This bold stance has ignited speculation about his potential to address the longstanding issues within the K-pop sphere.

The buzz surrounding BADVILLAIN is palpable. Despite their debut single slated for release on the 3rd at 6 PM, the group has already garnered attention with an offer for a debut showcase in the United States.

Moreover, the performance music video for BADVILLAIN's electrifying track "Hurricane," dropped on the 5th of last month, is on the cusp of reaching a staggering 3 million views.

Stay tuned as MC Mong and BADVILLAIN prepare to shake up the industry like never before!

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
