• Actor Yoo Ah In Undergoes Search and Seizure of Residence for Alleged Drug Use

    Yoo Ah In has undergone a search and seizure of his residence for alleged drug use.

    According to Star News on March 7th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's narcotics investigation team conducted a search and seizure of Yoo Ah In's residence in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, from 3:30 pm on the same day to secure relevant evidence.

    After the search ended at Yoo Ah In's residence at around 4:40 pm, the police left the scene. Yoo Ah In had previously revealed his three-story, high-end, detached house in Itaewon-dong during his appearance on "Home Alone" in June 2020.

    However, Yoo Ah In had since moved to a different address in Hannam-dong after the broadcast. Itaewon-dong was listed as Yoo Ah In's residential address on his resident registration.

    A real estate agent also confirmed to Star News that "Yoo Ah In moved out after 'Home Alone' broadcast."

    Last month, Yoo Ah In underwent a body search by the police immediately after entering Incheon International Airport following a trip to the United States with acquaintances.

    At that time,Yoo Ah In underwent urine and hair tests by the National Forensic Service, which showed positive results for marijuana in his urine and propofol, cocaine, and ketamine in his hair.

    Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun said at a meeting held at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Seodaemun-gu on March 6th, "An investigation is underway at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

    We are analyzing medical records of the subject and conducting investigations on medical institutions and clinics. We will also summon Yoo Ah In for questioning."

  • IVE Shatters Records With 5th Music Show Win for “Rebel Heart” & 2nd Consecutive Victory, Even Without M Countdown Airing - Here's How They Did It

    IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

    On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

    The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

    This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

    Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

    They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

    “Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

    But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

    Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

    With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
