Actress Kang Ye Won, co-representative of the company to which YouTuber Free Zia belongs, has made Instagram private.

Kang Ye Won made her Instagram private on January 25th, two days after she took down all the photos she took with Free Zia.

This seems to be the move that Kang Ye Won decided as the controversy surrounding Free Zia continued to grow rather than subside.

Kang Ye Won, co-representative of Hyowon CNC, to which Free Zia belongs, was scheduled to appear with Free Zia as her manager on 'Omniscient Interfering View', which was scheduled to air on January 29th.

However, before the broadcast, the 'controversy over wearing fakes' surrounding Free Zia arose, and the broadcast was canceled.

JTBC's 'Knowing Bros', in which the two appeared together, was aired with as much Free Zia as possible, but there was still noise in some parts even after the broadcast. 

In response to this controversy, Kang Ye Won deleted all the photos she took with Free Zia that she had posted on her Instagram.

Even after that, some did not stop criticizing Kang Ye Won and Free Zia's agency, who were silent in the controversy, and it seems that Kang Ye Won turned her social media private in the end.

Earlier, through her Instagram, Kang Ye Won expressed her affection for Free Zia as "my little sister", so many fans' attention was focused on her move. 

Meanwhile, Free Zia gained great popularity by appearing in Netflix's dating reality program "Single's Inferno". 

Afterwards, she was caught up in suspicions of appearing on the show wearing fake products, and on January 17th she posted a handwritten letter and expressed her apology. At the dawn of January 25th, she treated all videos uploaded to she YouTube channel as private and uploaded an additional apology video.

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
