• Former Teen Top Member C.A.P Criticizes NewJeans’ Hanni: “She Only Talks About Herself, Lacks Empathy”

    C.A.P (Bang Min Soo), a former member of Teen Top, has expressed his disappointment in NewJeans' Hanni after her appearance at the National Assembly audit.

    On October 23rd, C.A.P uploaded a video titled “NewJeans Hanni’s National Assembly Appearance is a Problem” on his YouTube channel, where he openly shared his thoughts about Hanni’s speech.

    He said, “I read about Hanni attending the audit, but she only talked about herself. As a member of NewJeans, she’s on a different level. She should have addressed more than just her personal experience. How can people relate to that?”

    C.A.P further added, “It’s important to use your fame to highlight other people's stories. If you want to discuss labor issues, focus on the freelancers who are overlooked. But instead, she spoke only about her team and the people managing them. She missed an opportunity to create empathy.”

    He also commented on Hanni’s background, saying, “She’s not even Korean, and yet 90% of her speech was about herself. Most people think NewJeans makes a lot of money, and this doesn’t look good for her or the group.”

    C.A.P continued to criticize her, stating, “There are a lot of underprivileged people, even in the entertainment industry. She should have focused on them instead of talking about how her team was ignored. It’s frustrating because she didn’t use her platform well.”

    Meanwhile, tensions between HYBE and former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin have escalated, leading to the National Assembly audit. The conflict has affected NewJeans, with Hanni and her fellow members raising concerns about bullying and mismanagement within the company.

    Hanni appeared before the Environment and Labor Committee at the National Assembly on October 15th, where she testified about workplace bullying in the idol industry.

    During the hearing, she expressed disappointment in ADOR’s new CEO, Kim Joo Young, saying, “I don’t think CEO Kim did her best. There were more things she could have done. I hope she does better in the future.”

    The episode has sparked conversations about how idols should use their influence to bring attention to broader issues within the industry.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
