It’s a self-introduction, but she didn’t introduce herself. Did you forget because you were nervous?″ Wonyi replied, ″Kind of, and I thought ’Oishi’ should come up instead of ’Yahoo.’″ Daesung mentioned article searches and asked, ″You became a promotional ambassador for Suwon City.

Shin Dong appeared on MBN·Channel S’s ″Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 4″ and shared episodes with the members. In this episode, Jeon Hyun Moo, Gwak Tube (Gwak Jun Bin), and Shin Dong visited a Hanwoo beef restaurant in Hapcheon, Gyeongnam. While traveling in the car, Jeon Hyun Moo asked Shin Dong, ″Have the Super Junior members ever fought among themselves?″ In response, Shin Dong recalled a time during his diet when he was eating an idol sandwich on a music show, and Yesung said, ″Eating again?″ which made him angry. Shin Dong explained that because he was sensitive due to dieting, he couldn’t hold back after hearing Yesung’s comment and teased him back. Yesung reacted by saying, ″Hey, do you want to die?″ but Shin Dong kept provoking him and eventually said, ″I called Yesung a ’crazy XX’.″ Shin Dong added that since Yesung is slim, he thought he could win. Other members who witnessed the situation didn’t stop the fight but watched with interest, and eventually, the manager came and stopped it, Shin Dong explained. Gwak Tube laughed, saying the cause was trivial, and Shin Dong said, ″Isn’t that how fights between guys usually go?″ The broadcast also included a discussion about the ’fight hierarchy’ within Super Junior. Shin Dong named Choi Siwon, who holds a Taekwondo black belt and has boxing experience, as number one. He said the second and third places would probably be himself or Donghae, mentioning that Donghae also has a muscular build and boxing skills, so he would fight well. Shin Dong said the last place was Ryeowook and even imitated Ryeowook’s ″nyang-nyang punch.″]]> FANNSTAR Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0900 ATEEZ reached a new turning point as San’s killing part in the new song ″BAD″ gained attention on short-form SNS. San’s chorus choreography quickly spread online under the name ″Let’s All Die Part,″ leading to a series of parody videos and reaction content. This popularity attracted interest not only from female fans but also from male users, and even celebrities joined the challenge, adding to the buzz. ATEEZ released their 14th mini-album ″Golden Hour: Part 5″ on the 26th of last month.

As San’s performance gained attention online, interest in other stages and music by ATEEZ expanded, including ″BAD.″ In fact, many responded that they searched for and listened to ″BAD″ or watched other performances by the team after seeing San’s video, showing how one member’s killing part led to increased interest in the entire group.

The Yongsan Police Station in Seoul announced that on the 23rd at around 2 a.m., two Chinese women who unlawfully entered the CORTIS residence were booked on charges of trespassing and are under investigation. The manager discovered damaged packages at the front door and the entrance door left open, reported it to the police, and the responding officers arrested the suspects on the spot as they were hiding on another floor inside the building. During the police investigation, the women reportedly stated that they ″purchased the residence address through social networking services (SNS),″ but they denied the charges of damaging packages and entering the residence. This incident occurred amid ongoing controversies involving sasaeng fans surrounding CORTIS.

On the 23rd, the 1st Criminal Division of the Seoul Western District Court sentenced Ms. Lee to a fine of 12 million won, the same as the first trial, during the appellate sentencing hearing. Ms. Lee was indicted for spreading false information in a KakaoTalk group chat, including statements such as ″Park Soo-hong’s words are lies,″ ″Park Soo-hong is cohabiting with a woman,″ and ″Park Soo-hong lived with a woman,″ thereby defaming Park Soo-hong. The appellate court ruled that the content posted by Ms. Lee in the chatroom constituted clear false statements and upheld the original fine. Earlier, at the second trial’s closing hearing, the prosecution requested a 10-month prison sentence, stating, ″She defamed a celebrity by making false statements in a group chat, the crime is not minor, and she denies the charges without showing remorse. She has not taken any measures to restore the victim’s damages, and the victim also demands severe punishment.″ Ms. Lee’s defense attorney argued during the trial, ″It is difficult to say that the prosecution’s facts were proven beyond a reasonable doubt,″ and ″The main motive was explanation, not defamation. The response was largely defensive.″ In her final statement, Ms. Lee said, ″Although it was a very personal conversation with acquaintances, I apologize for causing pain to Park Soo-hong and Kim Da-ye through this conversation,″ adding, ″I realized how foolish and shameful my actions were. I deeply reflect on this and will ensure such things never happen again. I will be a mother who is not ashamed in front of my children,″ seeking leniency, but the court maintained its ruling. Meanwhile, Park Soo-hong’s older brother, Mr. Park, was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison by the Supreme Court in February for embezzling funds from the entertainment agency’s corporation and appearance fees. The first trial for the approximately 9.8 billion won damages lawsuit filed by Park Soo-hong against his older brother and his wife is scheduled for September 11 at the 12th Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court.]]> FANNSTAR Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0900 The group LYSN (Woni, Liv, Minami, Mei, Jena) has been appointed as the broadcast ambassadors for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in collaboration with MBC.
