• Netizens Dub Newjeans’ Haerin as a Real-life Sawako From Japanese Manga-Slash-Anime Kimi Ni Todoke

    Haerin of NewJeans keeps surprising fans with how she looks.

    Even though the 16-year-old singer has only been out for a few months, she is already well-known. For example, people often call her a cat because her eyes are turned up.

    She has been compared to other things or people more than once. The most recent thing being talked about online is how much she looks like a famous Japanese cartoon character.

    The tweet that went viral showed her next to Sawako from the romance manga/anime Kimi Ni Todoke. It was hard to miss how much they were alike!

    The most obvious thing was that they both usually had long, black hair and straight bangs. They also have small faces in the shape of a v and big eyes.

    Fans pointed out that they both liked to wear white blouses, which showed that even their sense of style was the same.

    Last but not least, their auras tie together their similar looks in a nice bow. Both Haerin and Sawako look like the kind of quiet, sweet, and unassuming girl next door that everyone falls in love with the more they see her.

    Kimi Ni Todoke is a Japanese romance manga that ran from 2005 to 2017. It was drawn by Karuho Shiina. It tells the love story of Sawako, who is often misunderstood, and Kazehaya, who is popular.

  • Koo Jun Yup's Legal Troubles Pile Up After Marriage to Late Barbie Hsu Is Found Not Registered—What Happens to Inheritance and Custody?

    Koo Jun Yup is facing a tough situation after the sudden death of his wife, Barbie Hsu. Along with the emotional toll, Koo may now be in danger of losing both inheritance rights and custody of Barbie's children.

    Reports from February 3, including from Chinese media like Yu Xiaonan, revealed that Koo and Barbie had not officially registered their marriage in Taiwan.

    Although they were legally married in South Korea, they never completed the registration process in Taiwan. This has raised serious concerns about Koo’s legal rights regarding Barbie’s estate and her children.

    Legal experts have pointed out that if Barbie had left a will, her assets would be distributed based on her wishes. But if there’s no will, her estate would normally be split equally between Koo and her two children.

    Since Koo is neither the biological father of the children nor legally registered as Barbie’s husband in Taiwan, he risks losing both his inheritance and his right to custody of her kids.

    Adding to Koo’s worries, Barbie Hsu had ongoing legal battles with her ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei. Now that Barbie has passed, it’s likely that Koo could find himself inheriting the lawsuit.

    This means he could end up continuing legal proceedings against Wang Xiaofei, potentially demanding child support. However, Wang Xiaofei, a wealthy businessman with assets over 100 billion KRW (around $75 million), may fight for custody of the children.

    To make matters more complicated, his mother, Zhang Lan, is very close to the kids, making a legal battle for custody almost inevitable.

    Koo and Barbie’s relationship had a rocky past. They briefly dated in 1998 before breaking up. Barbie later married Wang Xiaofei in 2011 and had two children, a son and a daughter.

    They divorced in 2021. After learning of Barbie’s divorce, Koo reconnected with her, and they married in 2022.

    Sadly, Barbie passed away on February 2 while traveling in Japan due to acute pneumonia, leaving Koo to face these difficult legal challenges.
