Actor Lee Jung-jae, who became a global trend with Netflix's 'Squid Game', is reportedly selling his agency.

According to an exclusive report by 'OSEN' on November 22nd, WYSIWYG Studio, a media entertainment company, is negotiating to acquire Artist Company.

Currently, both sides are positively reviewing the acquisition, and it is reported that they have not yet proceeded with specific contract negotiations.

WYSIWYG Studio has recently taken over Urban Works, entertainment companies such as Raemon Lane, Image 9Coms, and Merry Christmas as subsidiaries, and has emerged as a leading media company.

In particular, Lee Jung-jae, the representative of Artist Company and his agency, has emerged as the hottest actor in the world right now with his role as Sung Ki-hoon in 'Squid Game'.

As he is currently raising his stock price, the news of the company's sale is also attracting attention.

Artist Company was founded in 2016 by Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung. Currently, Jung Woo-sung has resigned as CEO and is working as a director. Currently, the cast includes Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung, as well as Yeom Jeong-ah, Go Ara, Kim Jong-su, Park So-dam, Bae Seong-woo, Esom, Kim Ye-won, Lim Ji-yeon, Shin Jeong-geun, and Jo Yi-hyeon.

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.
