Jessi has made headlines after reportedly asking to end her exclusive contract with her agency just one month after signing. This decision comes amid a controversy surrounding a video showing her walking away as one of her fans was assaulted by her entourage. The incident has sparked a lot of public debate, and Jessi was questioned by the police as part of the investigation.

On October 18, Jessi's agency, DOD, shared an official statement confirming the news. "After many discussions about Jessi's future activities, and upon her request, we have carefully decided to end our exclusive contract as of October 18, 2024," the agency said, expressing regret over the situation.

They emphasized that the contract termination was not due to its expiration but was directly requested by Jessi herself. Despite the brief period they worked together, DOD added, "We are grateful to Jessi for her time with us, and we sincerely support her future endeavors."

Jessi’s decision to end her contract comes after the controversy surrounding the viral video, where she appeared to ignore a fan being mistreated by her staff. Following the backlash and a police investigation, her move to step away from the agency has left fans and the public wondering about her next steps.

Jessi has not yet shared her side of the story, but many are waiting to hear what she'll do next after this sudden and unexpected turn of events.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
