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.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
