Netflix confirmed that Choi Min Ho and Chae Soo Bin are the main cast of 'The Fabulous' along with the production confirmation.

‘The Fabulous’ is a hyper-realistic romance that depicts the dreams, love, and friendship of young people who have dedicated their lives to the fashion world, written as ‘fashion’ and ‘passion’. The fierce survival of N-year-olds struggling to survive in the fashion world, and the splendid and hot daily life of those who eat, work, and love in the hip and hottest places in Korea are expected to bring excitement and empathy.

The combination of Noonhogang, which will realistically portray the romance of young people in their 30s, is also igniting expectations. Chae Soo Bin, who proved her presence through stable acting in Netflix movies 'Sweet and Sweet', dramas 'I'm not a robot, 'Fox Stars', and 'half of half', will play the role of 'Pyo Ji Eun', the head of a luxury brand promotion agency. She liked pretty things since childhood and is now struggling to survive in the fashion industry she has admired all her life.

Media and genres such as drama 'Yumi's Cells', 'How to Love City Man and Woman', 'The Most Beautiful Farewell in the World', 'Hwarang', and the movie 'Jangsari: Forgotten Heroes', 'Inrang', and 'Gyechun Halmang' are some of the works of Choi Min Ho. This time, the actor plans to broaden his acting spectrum by portraying the role of freelance retoucher 'Ji Woo-min'. He is the man who has everything from his looks to his abilities, except for his passion. Pyo Ji-eun and Pyo-eun will cross paths between thumb and friendship and will maintain a high-tension relationship where they do not know where to go. Ji-min will eventually realize his dreams and love and will decide to move forward.

'The Fabulous', which depicts the story of ordinary youths living hotly in the background of the colorful fashion industry, is 'Gu Family Book', 'Hwayugi', 'Regal High', 'Hotel Del Luna', and 'Blue Spring from afar'. Producer Kim Jung-Hyun, who participated in the drama, will direct, and writers Kim Ji-hee and Im Jin-seon will write the screenplay.

NewJeans has made waves after announcing their decision to terminate their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR.

Now, the group is taking matters into their own hands by directly reaching out to global luxury brands to negotiate ambassador contracts. However, this bold move is raising concerns and sparking controversy in the entertainment industry.

According to sources on December 18th, NewJeans recently attempted to contact luxury watch brand O, negotiating a two-party contract through their manager A, who is still affiliated with ADOR.

This move came after NewJeans declared the end of their contract with ADOR on November 29th. Insiders claim that NewJeans began bypassing their agency, reaching out to advertisers on their own with the help of ADOR staff.

In an interview, Manager A revealed, "I conveyed NewJeans' intention to continue fulfilling their advertising contracts as planned, even after the contract termination." This admission sparked controversy, as it implied that NewJeans was trying to negotiate directly with advertisers, which may violate the terms of their previous agreement with ADOR.

During their press conference announcing the termination of their contract, NewJeans assured the public that they would continue with their scheduled events and advertisements, with the full support of ADOR.

However, it seems that the group may have gone behind ADOR’s back to pursue a deal with brand O, which could result in legal issues.

Legal experts have pointed out that these actions could potentially be seen as a breach of the exclusive contract, warning that it may lead to serious consequences for NewJeans in any future legal disputes. In addition to brand O, it was reported that NewJeans also attempted to directly approach another luxury brand through a different manager, B, who left ADOR.

As the situation continues to unfold, ADOR has taken action. Manager A has been placed on standby, and ADOR has informed brand O that any direct contract with NewJeans could be seen as a violation of their agreement. The agency has also told other potential advertisers that all deals involving NewJeans should be coordinated through ADOR.

The ongoing drama has left many fashion brands cautious about working with NewJeans. Sources say that brands, once eager to sign the group for major ambassador deals, are now reconsidering their options.

One industry insider commented, "NewJeans was a group that had a lot of potential, but with this situation, it’s hard to say if brands will take the risk. It’s a shame because they were on track to be as big as BLACKPINK."

As confusion continues to grow, many are questioning if NewJeans’ "self-independent" move will hurt their reputation in the fashion world. The group's popularity is undeniable, but the risks associated with bypassing their agency might cause some brands to think twice.
