• “Stray Kids Stans Speak Out”— Protest Truck Rolls Up at JYP Over ‘Ugly Styling’

    On January 3, the Korean forum "theqoo" posted a topic called "Protest truck for Stray Kids arrived at JYP Headquarters." The topic had several pictures of the truck connected to it.


    Fans say that Stray Kids have had style problems for a long time, with clothes that don't match and makeup that doesn't look good.

    The group's hairstyles are also not acceptable, if not totally bland and not in line with their ideas.

    So, fans sent the protest truck to tell JYP to pay more attention to Stray Kids' hairstyle problems and say things like, "Improve Stray Kids' hairstyle."

    "The hair stylists and makeup artists who only make the members look worse need to be OUT." "Clogged hair, split bangs, oily hair, stiff hair, and 5:5 partings need to be OUT."

    They're making fans sad, and the way Stray Kids dress is keeping us from watching fancams.

    "The hair and makeup team needs to be OUT," and "their stylists can't be saved."

    "Change Stray Kids' hairstyle."

    But JYP hasn't said anything about the problem yet.

    Some comments from Korean Internet users are shown below:

    This truck should also stop at the business of my bias.

    I've never been so excited to cheer for a protest truck.

    Don't they share models with NMIXX?

    I understand how the people feel; that side is also unacceptable.

    Stray Kids used to look good, I don't know what happened.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
