The girl group (G)I-DLE has apologized for wearing lifeguard outfits with unauthorized Red Cross emblems during a performance.

Cube Entertainment issued an official statement on July 22nd, saying, "We recognize the issue with (G)I-DLE's outfits during the 'Klaxon' performance on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' on July 19th. We have contacted the Korean Red Cross, apologized, and are actively discussing preventive measures and follow-up actions." They added, "We sincerely apologize to all parties inconvenienced by this incident."

(G)I-DLE performed their new song 'Klaxon' on 'Music Bank,' but controversy arose due to the lifeguard-themed outfits featuring the Red Cross emblem.

According to Article 25 of the Korean Red Cross Organization Act, the emblem cannot be used without the organization's approval. It appears that (G)I-DLE was unaware of this regulation during the performance.

Cube Entertainment Official Statement:

Hello,

We are addressing the issue regarding the outfits worn by (G)I-DLE during their 'Klaxon' performance on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' aired on July 19th.

We have recognized the problem with the stage outfits and have contacted the Korean Red Cross to apologize. We are actively cooperating to prevent recurrence and discussing follow-up measures.

We sincerely apologize to all parties inconvenienced by this matter.

We are always grateful for the immense support and interest from the fans for (G)I-DLE.

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.
