BAE, a member of JYP Entertainment's rookie group NMIXX, was diagnosed with COVID-19

On February 18, JYP Entertainment announced on NMIXX's official SNS that "Bae was confirmed with Corona 19 on the afternoon of February 17"

Bae showed symptoms of sore throat on the evening February 16. As a result, all members conducted self-diagnosis kit tests. Bae tested positive for the kit, and all members visited the hospital on the morning of February 17 to undergo PCR (gene amplification) testing.

The agency said, "All members have completed the second dose of the vaccine, and during the schedule, we have confirmed that the self-diagnosis kit test is negative. Bae has no symptoms other than a slight fever and sore throat. Lily, Haewon, Seolyun, Genie, Jiu, and Gyujin, who tested negative, are in self-quarantine.”

Due to the confirmation of Bae, the 'NMIXX Debut Online Press Showcase', which was scheduled to be held at 2 pm on February 22, was inevitably postponed to 2 pm on March 1.

NMIXX's debut single 'AD MARE' and the title song 'OO' will be officially released on February 22 at 6 pm as scheduled.

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.
