While the group TWICE released a concept photo ahead of their comeback, there is a debate over the 'selectivity controversy'.

On August 17th, JYP Entertainment, the agency, posted a total of 10 individual teasers and group photos on the official SNS channel to give a glimpse into the concept of Twice's 11th mini album 'BETWEEN 1&2'.

In the published photos, the members boasting a secret atmosphere and alluring charm are contained.

In particular, Mina wore a top and short pants reminiscent of lingerie to reveal a high level of exposure, while member Chaeyeon matched short pants with a garter belt, fishnet stockings, and high heels.

Some netizens who saw this expressed their displeasure, saying, "The concept goes against the times."

Netizens pointed out the sensationalism with reactions such as "Put on stage clothes instead of underwear", "When is the enemy's garter belt?", "Sexualization is too severe", "Can't we do something like this?"

On the other hand, advocating opinions such as "If Twice's annual age was different, they would have rejected it", "The members may have wanted a change in the concept", "I'm not a minor, I'm just looking forward to it", etc. There were also netizens who saw it.

TWICE's new mini-album 'BETWEEN 1&2' and the title song 'Talk that Talk' will be officially released on August 26th at 1 PM, eastern time in the US at midnight.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
