In K-Pop, the Big 3 companies—SM, YG, and JYP—are known for having idols who are both very talented and good-looking.

These things aren't unique to these companies, but they are known for having a lot of trainees and only letting the best ones make their debuts.

On October 31, Netizens talked about why they did think ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo wasn't picked up by one of the "big three" entertainment agencies, like SM, JYP, or YG Entertainment, despite his stunning looks and body.

On the online community discussion board, a user wrote, "With just his looks and body, he could have easily joined NCT, TREASURE, or Stray Kids, even if he didn't have any talent."

In response, some of the comments from netizens were as follows:

Not because he couldn't go, but because Fantagio took him.

It's like taking someone hostage. Before he realized what was going on, Fantagio was able to convince him and quickly take him in.

If he had gone to SM, he might not have been able to go to college, which would have been terrible. I think that people with their own skills should go to a middle-sized company.

Even actor Won Bin left the company SM.

Even if you say he isn't good at anything, his looks make him a star.

God bless SM, he didn't mess up his face. If he'd gone to SM, he would have done something more to his face for sure.

I can't really think of anybody else besides Suzy and Cha Eun Woo whose looks alone really made a big deal.

I hope Fantagio is nice to Cha Eun Woo. I would treat Cha Eun Woo like my own son if I were the CEO of Fantagio.

Instead of joining the NCT, it would be better for him to go to a middle-sized company.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
