In a recent appearance on Super Junior’s YouTube talk show, “DNE comment ‘Hey, Come Here’,” (G)I-DLE’s Minnie and Yuqi delved into their thoughts about the upcoming contract renewal period.

The candid conversation shed light on their expectations from Cube Entertainment.

Eunhyuk initiated the discussion by asking about the contract expiration date, to which Yuqi replied, “We have one year left.” Donghae chimed in, advising them to start discussions promptly.

Yuqi playfully added, “That’s why when we visit the label these days, we sit back and relax.”

Curious about contract negotiations, Yuqi sought advice from her seniors, Donghae and Eunhyuk. Donghae inquired if the (G)I-DLE members had any specific wishes from the company.

Minnie and Yuqi didn’t hold back in sharing their desires for the contract renewal.

Minnie emphasized a “(bigger) percentage,” while Yuqi revealed that Cube Entertainment treats them well, partly due to their playful banter.

When asked about the jokes they made, Yuqi explained, “We’d say, ‘There’s only a year and a half left,’ and humorously add, 'Our stock prices plummeted after that. They warned us, ‘If you don’t mean it, don’t say it anymore.’”

Korean netizens weighed in:

"Looks like they’re leaning toward renewing their contracts.”

“Are they really renewing?”

“Time flies—it’s been 7 years since (G)I-DLE’s debut.”

“Glad to hear they’re treated well.”

“Cube should continue treating them well.”

“My bet is they’ll stay with Cube.”

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
