Jinhwan Kim of iKON “Preparing for a new album, working hard” [Picture]

Jinhwan Kim of the group iKON released a pictorial and interview through the September issue of <Marie Claire>.

Kim Jin-hwan in the published pictorial created an atmosphere full of autumn atmosphere. In a pictorial with a uniquely shaped plant, he captured attention by digesting a pink color suit, silk shirt, and tweed jacket in his own way.

In an interview after filming, Jinhwan Kim said that he was preparing for a new album after taking a break after finishing <Kingdom: Legendary War>. I want to make good music that meets expectations, but at the same time, I feel impatient because I don't want the fans to wait too long, but I also added the story that I'm trying to make better music.

On the other hand, after the definition of 'iconness' was given, he also expressed his desire to release his own solo album. Expectations for new music were also hinted at from him, who pursued a well-balanced stage without leaning towards either dance or singing.

More pictorials and interviews of 'Kim Jin-hwan', an icon who is getting hotter on stage, can be found in the September issue of <Marie Claire> and on the Marie Claire website.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
