• "Even lightsticks are off" — Rain received a strangely cold response from the audience during his performance at LA

    Singer Rain faced an uncomfortable situation during his performance at K-CON LA.

    At a recent event called K-CON in Los Angeles, singer Rain was there to perform. He danced, sang, and showed his strong body by not wearing a shirt.

    Surprisingly, the audience didn't cheer or show support like they usually do. Some people even turned off their lightsticks to show they didn't like Rain.

    One person online guessed this might be because the idol groups Rain takes care of often break up or don't do well.

    They said, "Some people turned off their lightsticks because Rain starts groups with the idea of helping them, but then he leaves the group and doesn't take responsibility. That's why fans don't like him."

    To explain, Rain is known for helping the idol group MBLAQ in 2009. But in 2014, two members, Thunder and Lee Joon, left the group.

    Fans got angry when they found the trophies MBLAQ won were being sold. The agency didn't manage the group well after the two members left, and MBLAQ stopped performing soon after.

    Recently, four members of another group Rain managed, called Ciipher, left the group. These members are Tan, Tag, Dohwan, and Won.

    The other three Ciipher members might do their own things or form a new group, but it's not clear yet. Rain's poor management of all these groups is giving him a bad reputation.

    Some people who were at K-CON LA and saw what happened during Rain's performance talked about it online.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Reveals How She Boldly Told YG's Yang Hyun Suk She Loved Being Chubby – And Why It’s So Powerful

    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.
