Jeon Somi's management company has responded to allegations surrounding similarities in a music video character.

The agency, known as The Black Label, issued an official statement on August 9th, addressing concerns by pledging to take corrective action.

They acknowledged the resemblance between the animated character in the music video for the main track "Fast Forward" and a character from the renowned Japanese manga artist Takahashi Rumiko's creation "Noisy Star."

In their statement, The Black Label stated, "Upon learning of the resemblance between the animated character in Jeon Somi's EP Album's music video for 'Fast Forward' and a character from another work, we conducted a prompt review of the situation. Subsequently, we have decided to eliminate and alter the particular scene. We intend to expeditiously substitute the scene and implement all necessary measures."

Additionally, they expressed regret, saying, "We offer our sincere apologies for any worry caused due to insufficient scrutiny on our part as an agency. We will exercise heightened caution to prevent such incidents from arising in the future."

Meanwhile, Jeon Somi unveiled her new mini album 'GAME PLAN' on the 7th.

2NE1’s Park Bom is back and glowing more than ever!

On April 4, Park Bom took to social media to share a short video clip with the caption, “On my way home♥ Chanel coat.” In the video, she’s seen sitting in a taxi, looking chic and confident.

She gazes directly into the camera, winks, and gives a cute wave, instantly melting fans’ hearts.

What really caught everyone’s attention was her upgraded look.

Park Bom rocked a bold and glamorous makeup style, and fans couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly her sharp eyeliner matched her vibe.

Park Bom had previously worried fans after gaining weight during her time away from the spotlight. She successfully lost 11kg back in 2021, but later shared that she struggled with weight fluctuations.

Now, with her return to full-group promotions with 2NE1, it seems she's back to taking great care of herself—and fans are absolutely loving it.

One fan commented, “She looks so healthy and beautiful again,” while another said, “Her visuals are no joke. Bom is glowing!”

2NE1 recently made their long-awaited group return with an Asia concert tour celebrating their 15th debut anniversary.

And there's more to come—on April 12 and 13, they’ll be holding the '2025 2NE1 Concert: Welcome Back Encore in Seoul', continuing their powerful comeback and making fans around the world cheer even louder.
