BIGBANG came out in 2006, and third-generation idols like BTS, BLACKPINK, IU, and many more are huge fans.

They are called the "Kings of K-pop" because they have had so many great performances and hit songs.

Not surprisingly, they also influenced artists who came after them. Yunjin and Eunchae of LE SSERAFIM, who debuted in 2022, showed how much they liked BIGBANG during a dance challenge for Taeyang's new single "Vibe," which features Jimin of BTS.

In a vlog about what happened behind the scenes, it was clear that the two young singers were very nervous before making the short video.

To calm their nerves, they practiced the dance steps to the song as if they were getting ready for a show.

Even though Yunjin and Eunchae had performed in front of huge crowds before, it was clear that they respected their sunbaenim (the Korean word for a senior in the same field of work) so much that they felt a different kind of pressure to do their best.

The girls got scared when they thought about suggesting an ending pose. When Taeyang walked into the room, they couldn't help but drop their jaws and bow to him.

They were shy when they gave their senior a signed copy of Antifragile, their latest extended play. Yunjin's face was completely red.

In the end, filming went well, and Taeyang thanked the girls for taking part in the challenge by taking a group picture with them.

It was a dream come true for the new idols, who were happy to help.

Even though Yunjin and Eunchae debuted more than 15 years apart, they still held their sunbaenim in the highest regard.

This shows that BIGBANG is still having a positive effect on idols today.

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.
