• "He showed evidence" EXO's D.O. was reportedly charged for smoking indoors, based on a K-Netizen who reported him

    "Mr. D.O has promised to follow the law in the future, especially since he is a public figure."


    A K-Netizen says that EXO's D.O. was recently fined for smoking inside.

    Last month, Korean netizens were upset with D.O. after a video clip that was said to show the singer smoking went viral on the internet.

    D.O. was reportedly seen blowing smoke out of his nose while EXO member Baekhyun practiced in front of a video in the dressing room of a music show.

    A month later, a K-Netizen says that they told the idol's agency that he was smoking inside, which led to the idol getting a fine.

    On September 5, someone shared an unidentified forum post that said, "I reported Do Kyungsoo (EXO's D.O.) for smoking indoors back in August."

    The OP put a screenshot of a statement from the Mapo-gu Public Health Center into the post. In the report, the health center said that D.O. was fined because he couldn't prove that the e-cigarette he used inside was nicotine-free. This was because of the National Health Promotion Act.

    "How We Fixed The Problem"

    Hello, and thank you for caring about making your state better as a whole. We're glad you told us about the problem with smoking indoors at 267 Sungam-ro (MBC Headquarters), and we've taken the following steps to fix it.
    The National Health Promotion Act (9-4-16) says that smoking isn't allowed in any business, workplace, or mixed-use building that is more than 1,000 square meters. We found that Mr. Do [Censored Name] broke the law when he smoked inside the building of the radio station. Mr. Do's management label told us that he used an e-cigarette that didn't have nicotine. But they couldn't be sure that the goods being used didn't have nicotine. So, Mr. Do was charged the right amount. Also, we'd like to let you know that Mr. Do has promised to follow the law from now on, especially since he is a public person.
    Your staff at the Mapo-gu Public Health Center will keep working hard to teach the people in the province about the dangers of smoking and encourage them to stop.
    Report was taken care of by the Department of Health Care at the Mapo-gu Public Health Center.

    The Mapo-gu Public Health Center's website says that the fine can go up to 100,000 KRW, which is about $75.20 USD. About this supposed fine, SM Entertainment hasn't said anything.

  • Hong Jin Young Shocks Fans with a Different Face After Admitting to Three Plastic Surgeries—Even Gives Plastic Surgery Advice on TV

    Singer Hong Jin Young is making headlines for her latest TV appearance, where fans noticed her slightly different look!

    After previously admitting to multiple plastic surgeries, she returned to the spotlight with a more mature and refined vibe.

    On the January 28 episode of SBS’s Dolsing Fourmen, the show featured a special K-Trot Grand Festival episode with guests Jin Sung, Hong Jin Young, Park Ji Hyun, and Yoyomi.

    But what caught viewers’ attention the most was Hong Jin Young’s transformed appearance! Known for her cute and sexy charm in the past, she now exudes a more sophisticated aura.

    Hong Jin Young has never been shy about discussing her plastic surgery history. On MBC’s Radio Star, she openly revealed that she had undergone two nose surgeries, double eyelid surgery, Botox, and dental laminates.

    With her experience in cosmetic procedures, she naturally took on the role of a plastic surgery expert during Dolsing Fourmen!

    Lee Sang Min playfully mentioned, “I heard you’re just as good at estimating plastic surgery costs as you are at singing.”

    Hong Jin Young laughed and admitted, “Well, I do have some experience. Since I’ve been in the industry for a while, I have a trained eye for this.”

    The fun continued as Kim Jun Ho asked her to evaluate possible procedures for Lee Sang Min and Lim Won Hee. Hong Jin Young confidently shared her insights, saying, “If someone has a unique face, it’s best not to touch it. But if anything, I’d suggest lifting treatments.”

    She then grabbed Lim Won Hee’s cheek and pointed out, “If you want to look kinder, this area needs to go. These ‘bulldog cheeks’ can be reduced with injections.”

    She went on to explain, “You get fat-dissolving injections on both sides, and instead of making big incisions on the forehead, small cuts along the hairline can lift it naturally. Combine that with Botox, and it works wonders.”

    As for Lee Sang Min, she suggested, “To achieve a younger look, hair implants would help a lot. A receding hairline makes you look older, so filling it in is a good trick.”

    Aside from her surprising knowledge in beauty treatments, Hong Jin Young also shared a fun story about her flirting skills! She confessed that she once had a some (flirty relationship) with a celebrity.

    She recalled, “That person asked for my number, saying they were curious about something. Later, they contacted me, and I answered sincerely. They were so grateful that they offered to buy me a meal, so I jokingly asked them to bring me something delicious on the day of my music video shoot.”

    She continued, “Before a music video shoot, I go through beauty treatments, so that’s when I look my best. I wanted to show them that side of me.”

    She added with a smile, “That person actually brought chicken for me on set. Since I was busy filming, they got to see me as a hardworking woman. After that, we started flirting.” Her story had everyone laughing on set!

    With her bold personality and honest confessions, Hong Jin Young once again proved why she’s one of the most entertaining stars in K-entertainment!
