On October 13, IVE went to Japan for the 2022 KCON and was seen at the Gimpo International Airport.

The next day, on October 14, KCON took place, and the girls performed an excellent snippet of their cover for NewJeans' "HYPE BOY," which is being talked about in many online communities.

The MC asked the members of IVE, who were all dressed in white, if they knew the song "HYPE BOY" by NewJeans. Yujin and Gaeul stepped up to dance, while other members, especially Liz, took care of the singing.

On that day, the members of IVE showed off their charm and a hint of sensuality that fit the song perfectly.

The video of IVE singing and dancing to the song was shared on many social media sites and online communities, where people gathered to praise the girl group.

Netizens commented:

Liz's voice tone is really, really good.

I want to hear the whole song sung by Liz.

Gaeul danced wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

Was it Liz who sang? Her voice sound is way cool.

Putting aside the dance, their singing was insane.

The more I watch Hype Boy, the more I realize how hard it is to dance like that. It's hard to look good when you're dancing.

The tones of Liz and Rei's voices go well together.

Have Liz sing the whole song, please.

I don't think Yujin really knows how to dance ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. She's funny and cute at the same time.

Liz, please ask her to sing the song as it was written. I really like Gaeul, Yujin, and Liz these days.

Actor Won Bin has officially denied rumors linking him to the controversial voice recording source in the late Kim Sae Ron case.

On May 9, a representative from his agency firmly stated, “Aside from attending Kim Sae Ron’s funeral to mourn her passing, Won Bin has no connection to the matter.”

This was in response to speculation that the actor had helped the person who provided the voice recording tied to a major criminal case involving actor Kim Soo Hyun.

The confusion started after a press conference on May 7, held by Garo Sero Research Institute’s head Kim Se Ui, who claimed the recording came from a Korean man in New Jersey, USA, who was later attacked.

During the press conference, a voice recording from the man’s wife was played, where she briefly mentioned Won Bin. “I didn’t know who Won Bin was,” she said, “but he came quietly and showed respect. His kindness meant more to us than words can say.”

This vague comment led to rumors that Won Bin had supported the family behind the voice recording, possibly even paying for Kim Sae Ron’s funeral — but his agency denied all of it, saying those claims are simply not true.

Won Bin and Kim Sae Ron had previously worked together in the 2010 film The Man From Nowhere, and while Won Bin has remained largely out of the spotlight in recent years, he was seen attending Kim Sae Ron’s funeral, drawing attention from fans and media.

Meanwhile, controversy continues to grow around the case involving Kim Soo Hyun, as his team claims the voice recording might be fake and created using AI. Legal battles are now unfolding between Kim Soo Hyun’s side, Kim Sae Ron’s family, and members of Garo Sero Research Institute.

For now, Won Bin has made it clear: he was not involved in any part of the recording, and his only connection was quietly paying his respects to a former co-star.
