BLACKPINK will going to perform on Japan's representative music show 'Music Station'.

According to YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK will appear on TV Asahi (テレビ朝日, Terebi Asahi) Music Station broadcast on the 20th and decorate the stage for 'Lovesick Girls -JP Ver.-'.

' Music Station ' is the most popular music program in Japan for 35 years. It is said to be a must-have course for foreign pop stars who are popular in Japan.

This is BLACKPINK's second appearance in ' Music Station ' since October 2019, when they successfully completed their first world tour. It is noteworthy what kind of stage they will capture Japanese viewers with, who have not been active in music broadcasting recently.

BLACKPINK released 'THE ALBUM -JP Ver.-' last August 3. Immediately after its release, this album topped the Oricon Daily Album Chart as well as Japan's Apple Music Top Album Chart.

The soundtrack was also strong. After all of the album's songs landed at the top of major music charts such as Line Music and Japan's iTunes, they succeeded in arranging the top 10 albums on the AWA chart, proving the explosive interest of local fans.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK became the first K-pop girl group (based on Hanteo/Gaon charts) to become the million-seller by selling more than 1.3 million copies with their 1st full-length album 'THE ALBUM' released in October last year.

Thanks to this, it swept various global charts. 'THE ALBUM' topped the iTunes album charts in a total of 57 countries, and ranked second on the US Billboard 200 and UK Official Charts, renewing its own top ranking for K-pop girl groups.

TV personality and writer Yoo Byung Jae, shocked fans with heartbreaking news about a massive debt scam he fell victim to.

In a recent video shared on his YouTube channel, Yoo revealed that he had lent a whopping 700 million KRW to acquaintances—only to find himself unable to recover the money.

He continued, saying, "I will be sharing for the first time the money I lent and haven't received back."

His close friend and CEO of his agency, Yoo Gyu Seon, expressed concern over his decision to speak publicly, asking, "Is it okay to say this?"

Yoo Byung Jae explained that the total debt had grown to 700 million KRW after his older brother, Yoo Gyu Seon, became involved. Originally, it was a little over 600 million KRW, but with his brother’s involvement, it reached the full 700 million KRW.

Yoo Byung Jae added, "The heartbreaking part is that almost all the people who borrowed this 700 million KRW from me don’t even know how much they owe me". His candid words left viewers in shock and disbelief.

He clarified the gravity of the situation, saying, "I’m not laughing right now. This is not something to laugh about."

In other news, Yoo Byung Jae recently confirmed his relationship with 9-year-younger influencer Lee Yoo Jeong, who had previously gained attention for her appearance on the reality show Love Catcher 4. This new revelation adds an unexpected twist to his already eventful year.
