• K.Will Encourages Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun: “This Isn’t the End, There’s More to Come”

    On the June 28th broadcast of KBS 2TV's music variety show 'The Seasons: Zico's Artist' (hereafter referred to as 'Artist'), K.Will, Chuu, N.Flying, and TWS will appear.

    K.Will, who debuted in 2007, had his first stage on KBS's 'Yoon Do-hyun's Love Letter.' Known for his impressions of 'Angry Ha Dong-kyun' and 'Park Hyo-shin singing Pippi Longstocking,' K.Will also showed off his dance moves to IVE's songs. Zico praised K.Will's passion, saying, "Even after 18 years since his debut, he still gives his all, and I respect that."

    Returning with his new song 'There’s No Farewell Song That Suits Me,' K.Will mentioned the music video featuring Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun's love story, which has become a hot topic. The audience watching the music video live at the venue couldn't contain their excitement and surprise. K.Will sent a video message to Seo In Guk and Ahn Jae Hyun, saying, "This isn't the end. You know that, right? Let's stay strong for the next one," hinting at a third installment and raising expectations.

    Chuu also made a return with her lovely new song. Known for her expressive performances on stage, Chuu amazed everyone by showcasing a variety of expressions to match Zico's singing. Having transitioned from a girl group to a solo artist, Chuu mentioned that her role model is IU. She shared a nervous moment when she recently met IU at her concert, saying, "I wrote her a long letter, and she hugged me as soon as she saw me."

    N.Flying's Lee Seung Hyub, who recently gained attention for his role as Baek In-hyuk in the drama 'Run with the Sun,' talked about the changes since the drama's end. He mentioned the curiosity about In-hyuk's original job and shared stories about the viral stage performance. He humorously noted, "Wearing sleeveless shirts seems to work well for me, so I wore one today too." N.Flying performed the OST from 'Lovely Runner.' Yoo Hwe-seung added that it felt surreal hearing his voice in the scenes featuring Byun Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, not just his bandmate Seung Hyub.

    TWS, who caused a sensation with their debut song, appeared with 'First Meetings Don’t Go as Planned.' It was their first time performing while interacting with the audience, and they shared their nervous and excited feelings. True to their refreshing idol image, they practiced smiling brightly together in a circle in their rehearsal room, giving each other feedback.

    Zico expressed his desire to learn their fresh energy, jokingly becoming the seventh member and joining their informal rehearsal. Contrary to their usually shy demeanor, the members confidently gave feedback to Zico, with one saying, "That's not really important," and another suggesting, "You should smile a bit more," which brought laughter to the set.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
