• Former EXO member Tao cancels concert over poor ticket sales following public love confession

    Chinese singer, rapper, and actor Huang Zitao, also known as Tao, recently made headlines with the release of his new album, '30's Club,' and the announcement of two concerts in Guangzhou, China. Unfortunately, Tao had to cancel one of the concerts due to alleged deteriorating health.

    Reports suggest that insufficient ticket sales made it impossible to proceed with both shows. Even the remaining concert, which went on as planned, faced difficulties.

    Despite significantly reducing ticket prices from 368 yuan to 47.84 yuan, tickets remained unsold until the day prior to the event.

    There are speculations within certain circles that Tao's recent dating rumors might have played a significant role in the departure of fans.

    Tao has been linked to Xu Yiyang, a former SM Entertainment trainee, in various dating rumors since 2020.

    They were frequently spotted together and sparked attention. In a nightclub in Gangnam, rumors spread that Tao publicly confessed his love for Xu Yiyang by displaying the message 'Love u Xu Yiyang' on a large screen.

    Pictures of the screen circulated online, and eyewitness accounts supported the validity of the confession.

    K-netizens expressed their thoughts on the situation, saying, "This is so sad," "Why did he make that choice?" "Xi Yiyang?" "Wow, he lowered his price to 8,300 KRW," "He's in Korea?" "He lives an enjoyable life," "8,300 KRW is legendary," "His news is just funny now," "Wow, his tickets are cheaper than a YouTube Premium subscription," "Why is he in Korea?" "8,300 KRW is the price of two Tanghulus," "I like Yiyang but why is she dating him?" and "My time is worth more than 8,300 KRW."

    Former EXO member Tao was born on May 2, 1993, in Qingdao, Shandong, China. He became a prominent member of the South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO and its sub-unit EXO-M when he joined the group in 2011.

    However, in 2015, he decided to leave EXO and pursue a solo career in China.

  • BLACKPINK Jennie’s Mom Had a Hilarious Reaction to Her Becoming a Chanel Ambassador—Her Response? “Ah, It’s Over”

    BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

    On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

    Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

    During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

    As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

    Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

    She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

    When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

    Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

    But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

    Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

    Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

    After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
