• 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.

  • Park Bo Gum shows he is good with money as his Jongno apartment rises by 500 million won in just one year and sets a new record

    Park Bo Gum is not just a talented actor — he’s showing he’s smart with money too!

    The star of Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다) recently made headlines after the value of his apartment jumped by a whopping 500 million won (about 370,000 USD) in just one year.

    According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s real estate transaction records revealed on the 19th, the apartment where Park Bo Gum lives — an 84㎡ unit in Gyeonghuigung Ja-i Complex 2 in Hongpa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul — was sold for a record-breaking 2.54 billion won on March 21st. The unit is located on the 11th floor.

    When you compare it to last year’s prices, which ranged from 1.95 billion to 2.05 billion won, that’s a massive increase of about 500 million won!

    Gyeonghuigung Ja-i is known as a luxury apartment complex inside Seoul’s historic Four Great Gates area. It’s super close to popular spots like Gwanghwamun, City Hall, and Seodaemun Station on Subway Line 5 — making it really easy to get to hot places like Yeouido, Mapo, and even Gangnam through Line 3’s Dongnimmun Station.

    It’s reported that Park Bo Gum moved there back in 2019 after leaving Mokdong in Yangcheon-gu, choosing Gyeonghuigung Ja-i mainly for its perfect location near his work spots.

    Other units in the same complex have also been seeing crazy price jumps! A 59㎡ unit recently sold for 1.85 billion won (15th floor) last month, and a 101㎡ unit was sold for 2.73 billion won (7th floor) in February.

    An insider from the real estate industry said, "Apartments near palaces will likely stay in high demand because of their historic meaning, the beautiful city surroundings, and great transportation."

    Looks like Park Bo Gum definitely made a smart move with this one.
