• TXT Stands Strong Amid HYBE Challenges: Soobin Says, "We'll Perform Without Regrets"

    Tomorrow X Together (TXT) shared their feelings about returning to the stage during tough times for HYBE.

    TXT members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai held their encore concert for their third world tour at the KSPO DOME in Seoul from November 1 to 3.

    On November 3, just before their final performance, the group held a press conference at the venue where they first kicked off their tour in May. Soobin said, “I’m really happy that we can perform again with this encore concert.”

    The group is set to make a comeback on November 4 with their new mini album, The Star’s Chapter: Sanctuary.

    Recently, HYBE has been facing criticism over reports that included negative comments about the looks of members from various idol groups. This situation might add to the stress around their upcoming comeback.

    Soobin addressed this by saying, “Since May, we have been on tour for over six months and have been working hard on our new album. We focused on our concert and didn’t let outside issues affect us. We will show you everything we have prepared and perform without regrets. We hope for your love and support.”

  • Chun Jung Myung’s Manager Now Serving Time After Stealing Billions, Source Reveals

    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."
