• TWICE's Nayeon Opens Up About Going Solo After Promoting As A Group For 7 Years

    Nayeon from TWICE is on her own for the first time in 7 years.

    At 11 a.m. on June 24, a press conference was held at Fairmont Ambassador Seoul in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, to celebrate the release of Nayeon's solo album "I'M NAYEON."

    The new name "I'M NAYEON" means "I am Nayeon" and also sends the confident message "I am Nayeon." The title song "POP!" is a catchy song that promises to blow the opponent's swollen heart like a bubble.

    Nayeon said this on this day: "Today, people welcomed me as a solo artist named Nayeon, and I felt a lot of things. I've been working on an album for a long time, so it feels good, but going out alone for the first time makes me nervous and excited at the same time ".

    Nayeon debuted in 2015 as a member of the group TWICE. This is her first solo album in seven years. In light of this, some people thought that her solo album came out too late.

    Nayeon said this about it: "This year marks seven years, and I think it's a good time and not too late. I think it's good to be able to show you a new and different side by doing my own things and putting out a solo album, since I've already shown you something by doing things with a group "said she.

    Concerning the part she was most worried about, she said, "I have already shown you an image of Nayeon of TWICE, so I will show you a new image while taking that image as much as possible."

    TWICE Nayeon's first mini album, "I'M NAYEON," has songs like "POP!," "NO PROBLEM" (feat FELIX of Stray Kids), "LOVE COUNTDOWN" (feat ONE STEIN), "CANDY FLOSS", and "NOTE". It will be available on all of the biggest music sites at 1 p.m. on that day.

  • Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Claps Back at Late Sulli’s Brother’s Claims, Reveals Bed Scene Was Always Part of the Script for ‘Real’

    Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

    On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

    They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

    The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

    Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

    Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

    As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

    Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

    This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
