BLACKPINK’s Jisoo gifts luxury bags to staff, drawing praise amid industry controversies

BLACKPINK member Jisoo is drawing attention after giving high-end luxury gifts to employees at her agency, in a move that contrasts with ongoing workplace controversy in the entertainment industry. Jisoo, who runs her own agency, Blissoo, recently presented staff with designer bags worth several million won each. The gifts were revealed through employees’ social media posts. Photos shared online showed Dior bags alongside messages such as “I love you, CEO,” “Jisoo is the best,” and “Thank you, boss,” offering a glimpse into the company’s internal atmosphere. The scale of the gifts also stood out. Jisoo, a global ambassador for Dior, personally selected and handed out the luxury items, with multiple bags appearing in the images. Her gesture comes at a time when the Korean entertainment industry is facing a series of allegations involving abuse of power and unfair treatment within management structures. Against that backdrop, Jisoo’s actions are being seen by some as a notable contrast, highlighting a different approach to leadership and workplace culture. Alongside her mus

Dayoung leans into R&B influences on ‘What’s a girl to do’

For Dayoung, her new solo EP “What’s a girl to do” is more than just a comeback. It’s shaped by the music style she practiced with during her trainee years and the kind of artist she wants to become. Set for release on Tuesday, Dayoung’s second EP, “What’s a girl to do,” marks a stylistic shift from her previous EP “Gonna love me, right?” drawing more heavily on early-2000s R&B and dance-pop influences. “I have a lot of nostalgia for that era,” said Dayoung during a round table interview in sout

K-pop idol scammed in Philippines taxi, driver suspended after backlash

A taxi driver who attempted to overcharge a member of K-pop group TXT has been suspended from operating, after the incident sparked backlash both in South Korea and the Philippines. According to a report aired Monday on JTBC’s “Chief Investigator,” member Soobin was targeted in a taxi fare scam while traveling in Cebu, a popular tourist destination in the Philippines. The incident was originally revealed through the group’s official YouTube channel, where Soobin shared footage of a trip to Cebu with a friend. After arriving at Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the two took a taxi to their accommodation. Before boarding, Soobin had checked that the expected fare was around 300 pesos ($5.30). However, the driver initially demanded 500 pesos, then raised the price mid-ride, claiming fuel costs were high and asking for 1,000 pesos. The driver continued to push for a higher fare, but after a tense exchange, Soobin ultimately agreed to pay 500 pesos — still significantly above the expected price. The video quickly spread online, drawing criticism not only from fans but also from loca

K-pop agency crisis deepens: Artists flee over ‘Cha Ga-won risk’ as Lee Seung-gi exits

A growing crisis at K-pop agency One Hundred Label and its subsidiary Big Planet Made Entertainment is triggering a wave of artist departures, with singer-actor Lee Seung-gi becoming the latest to terminate his contract. On Monday, Lee’s legal representative said that he notified the agency of contract termination in late March, citing violations of the exclusive agreement. The contract has been “lawfully terminated,” his side said. Big Planet Made said it is “doing its best to normalize management as quickly as possible” and added that it is continuing discussions to resolve the matter amicably. At the center of Lee’s departure are allegations of unpaid staff costs. According to his side, “Despite various issues surrounding the agency and some unpaid settlement amounts, we tried to maintain trust. However, problems arose in supporting entertainment activities and paying staff and external vendors.” Lee is not alone. Several artists have either left or are seeking to leave the agency, fueling what fans are calling a “mass exodus.” K-pop boy band The Boyz is currently d

Shinhwa update goes viral: Weight gain, wedding buzz, IVF reveal — and a missing member

The lives of veteran K-pop group Shinhwa members and their families have suddenly become a hot topic online, as a series of updates — from a wedding to personal struggles — spark widespread attention. The buzz began with member Lee Min-woo, who married his partner Lee A-mi on March 29. The wedding drew congratulations from fans, especially as Lee had already become a father of two after welcoming a daughter last year. Most Shinhwa members attended the ceremony, with Jun Jin and Andy Lee taking on hosting duties. However, the absence of Shin Hye-sung quickly became a talking point. Shin has largely stayed out of the public eye since his 2022 drunk driving case. He has since halted outside activities. Adding to the attention, a group photo from the wedding featuring members and their spouses spread across social media. Eric Mun, Kim Dong-wan, Andy Lee and Jun Jin appeared alongside their wives, including actress Na Hye-mi and Ryu Yi-seo. Eric, who has not appeared in a drama for six years, drew particular attention for his noticeably fuller appearance while holding his child, with fans
