An idol colleague whom singer G-Dragon met at the exhibition drew attention.

On the 23rd, G-Dragon posted photos on his Instagram story to commemorate his first solo exhibition visit by American architect and sculptor Tom Sachs. The picture was mainly taken from the back of him looking at the work.

On the same day, an Instagram account of a girl group member also showed his back. It was T-ARA's HYOMIN.

On the same day, HYOMIN shared photos and works taken side by side with Tom Sachs. Among the photos were G-Dragon's backside, who was listening to Tom Sachs' daughter in person.

Tom Sachs is a sculptor who is attracting attention as a "brick collage", an act of fixing and making something using various materials or tools.

In Korea, G-Dragon made his name known for his "Nike X Tom Sachs Masyard" shoe work worn by G-Dragon.

Shoes, which were 239,000 won when they were first released in 2017, were sold with more than 10 million won after wearing G-Dragon.

Perhaps because of this special connection, Tom Sachs also shared G-Dragon's appearance on his Instagram.

The exhibition will be held at the Art Sunjae Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and Tadeus Lopak Seoul and Hive Insight in Yongsan-gu.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon has recently been rumored to have split up after rumors of a romantic relationship with BLACKPINK's Jennie. The two did not offer any position on the issue.

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
