TWS (Tours) is on a winning streak with their new song "If I'm S, Be My N."

On July 3rd, TWS (Shinyu, Dohun, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Kyungmin) took the top spot on MBC M's 'Show! Champion' with their title track "If I'm S, Be My N" from their second mini-album 'SUMMER BEAT!'. This is their second win after their victory on SBS MTV's 'The Show,' and they are starting to collect music show trophies.

TWS shared their excitement, saying, "Just like the lyrics of 'If I'm S, Be My N,' we now think we have grown antennae of the same color as our fans, 42 (fandom name), and we are running toward the same goal. Thanks to 42 pushing from the front and pulling from the back, we can always be happy in our activities. We will continue to work hard as TWS."

During the show, TWS opened with the hip-hop track 'Double Take,' which has a strong, addictive bass line. They grabbed attention with their 'shooting choreography,' where all members raised their hands and did a jump shot motion with groovy steps. They showcased both solo and group dances with light-fit dance moves, showing a lively and free-spirited side different from their usual image.

The stage for "If I'm S, Be My N" was praised for its catchy melody and the fresh vocal tones of the members. Their 'cheery synchronized dance' performance received great applause. The choreography, with moves like sticking hands out above their heads for the line "growing antennae of the same color," and smiling while waving for "greet with eye contact and say hello," thrilled fans. In their encore live stage after winning first place, they included the word '42' in the lyrics and showcased stable high notes, drawing attention.

'SUMMER BEAT!' topped the Hanteo Chart's daily album chart and Oricon's 'Daily Album Ranking' on its release day (June 24), dominating both Korean and Japanese charts. The album sold over 500,000 copies in its first week, nearly doubling their previous record.

Their performance on the music charts is also impressive. The title track "If I'm S, Be My N" entered Melon's 'Top 100' at 94th place on June 25th and gradually climbed to its highest position of 44th on July 3rd. In Japan, it ranked 2nd on Rakuten Music's latest weekly chart and 17th and 20th in Line Music's weekly song and music video charts, respectively.

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."
