On February 2, Jiwoo and the other members of NMIXX went to the Loewe x Howl's Moving Castle pop-up store.

The new K-Pop idol got a lot of attention for how pretty she looked. She was wearing a cute blue outfit with the character Calcifer on it.

At the event, people said nice things about how she looked. She had long bangs and a simple braid in her hair.

Even though she looked as beautiful as usual, netizens couldn't help but notice that the NMIXX member seems to have lost a lot of weight recently.

The pictures were posted on a Korean online forum, where people talked about her weight and said that she looks "better" and "healthier" now than she did when she first came out.

Still, others felt the same way about Jiwoo. K-Pop idols are known for going on extreme and sometimes dangerous diets to lose weight quickly, and fans worry that Jiwoo may have done something similar to get to her current weight.

Fans worry even more about her because she's only 17. At that age, she's likely still growing and changing.

We hope that she was able to reach this weight at her own pace and in a safe and healthy way, and that she did it on her own rather than because of pressure from her company or mean comments from netizens.

Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
