• Fans Upset at Starship Entertainment For Unfair Treatment Towards MONSTA X After Seeing IVE's Luxurious Apartment

    On April 11, IVE revealed their dorm to the public on a reality show called "Omniscient Point Of Interference". This is the first time since their debut that the public has seen the group's luxury apartment with their own eyes.

    Unlike many other rookie groups, IVE has enjoyed very good living conditions, even the dream of many other colleagues.

    The girls revealed that the apartment has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a combined kitchen, a living room, and a room separated from the wall.

    IVE members also share how they separate rooms and explain that room arrangement is up to each person's personal preference.

    Immediately after this episode aired, many netizens and fans started arguing about whether Starship Entertainment should treat MONSTA X better since they are IVE's senior group.

    Netizens commented, "I want MONSTA X to be treated better", "Starship Entertainment should also take care of MONSTA X, not just IVE", "Their dorm is more luxurious than MONSTA X's", "MONSTA" X is a sunbaenim" and "they're famous too, please treat them better."

    On the contrary, other comments suggested that MONSTA X should not be mentioned in an IVE post.

    Moreover, the most popular member of IVE, Jang Won Young, has earned a lot of money for the company, so it is not surprising that IVE is treated like this.

    But it seems that many fans of MONSTA X have overreacted because the group's spiritual life is equally invested, even better than the juniors.

    The group's dormitory was once in the press with an entire gym right inside.

    The gym is located in the living room on the first floor to serve the members' fitness training needs. In addition, there is a luxurious kitchen like a studio.

  • Park Bo Gum Takes on a Big Challenge as MC of ‘Cantabile’ — Here's Why KBS Chose an Actor Over a Singer

    KBS is getting ready to shake up its 2025 spring variety lineup, and one of the most talked-about shows is Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile!

    On March 7, KBS held a press conference at the KBS International Conference Room in Yeouido, Seoul, to introduce its upcoming variety programs. Several CPs (chief producers) attended the event, including Park Seok-hyung, who is directing Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile.

    During the event, CP Park Seok-hyung explained why Park Bo Gum was chosen as the host. "Having Park Bo Gum as the MC was a bit of a challenge for us. Respect is crucial in a music talk show, and we felt that Park Bo Gum, with his deep love for music, would be able to communicate well with musicians."

    This decision is a big first for KBS—until now, the network’s signature music talk show, The Seasons, has always been hosted by singers.

    Now, with an actor like Park Bo Gum taking the lead, the show is expected to bring a new and refreshing vibe to the genre.

    Alongside Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile, KBS is bringing back some beloved shows and exciting new programs:

    The Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room, which ran for seven years starting in 2018, is making a comeback.

    Ballunteer will feature former soccer star Lee Young-pyo and singer Lee Chan-won as they take on hilarious futsal challenges.

    Actress Lee Min-jung will host Going and Coming Lee Min-jung, a wholesome rural reality show where she sells goods with other actors.

    Meanwhile, KBS’s legendary comedy show Gag Concert is officially returning on March 16, moving to prime time on Sundays at 9:20 PM KST.

    Here’s when you can catch these exciting new and returning shows:
    Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile – Every Friday at 10 PM KST, starting March 14
