• "Just one copy is enough", Red Velvet's Wendy expresses concern about fans buying all of their album versions

    Red Velvet's Wendy warmed her fans' hearts with an unexpected message on "Bubble."

    On October 18, a post about Wendy called "THE REASON FOR RED VELVET WENDY'S WORDS TO THE FANS" went viral on TheQoo's community board.

    Screenshots of Wendy's recent messages to her fans on the global fan-artist communication platform have been going around online communities and getting a lot of attention.

    One of Wendy's fans wrote in the global fan-artist communication platform, "I'll make a lot of money and go to your concert and buy your albums."

    Wendy said, "I don't know about the concert, but please don't buy more than one copy of our album."

    She went on, "Just one copy is enough, and so is your heartfelt support and just listening to our music. Take care of your health or eat something tasty with your family. If you live alone, please use that money to buy yourself at least one more meal ".

    When people read Wendy's message, they were moved by how much she loves her fans.

    Other netizens quickly responded with comments sharing their opinions, such as:

    I can see why she feels that way… Even though I'm a buyer, I can't help but think that wayㅜㅜ.

    Wendy is really a saint.

    But SM is to blame for all of the problems mentioned above.

    More and more girl groups can sell between 400K and 500K albums in their first week, and groups that can sell between 200K and 400K in their first week are becoming a minority…. I can see why Wendy would say that.

    She's impressive because this isn't an easy thing to say.

    Wendy is so cute, but if the albums don't sell well, we'll have to make 12 different photocards instead of just 4 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ.

    Wow, really… Companies love making records, but I wish they would stop making so many different versions of the same album and just sell one ㅠㅠㅠ.

    I like Wendy more and more every time I see her.

    She's so cool, wow. As a fan of another group, I'm happy for her. ??

    My bias is also from SM, and they also told me to stop buying albums. But every time I get paid, I want to buy albums ㅠㅠ

    What are your thoughts?

  • IU Secretly Watches Her Own Movie in a Theater, Drops Hints About Her Identity, but No One Recognizes Her?!

    IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

    On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

    She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

    Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

    IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

    Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

    She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

    But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint! she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

    Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

    After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

    On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

    Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
