K-Pop made a grand return at the 2024 MET Gala!

BLACKPINK's Jennie graced the event for the second year in a row, stunning everyone in a beautiful blue Alaïa minidress. It was also a memorable night for Stray Kids, who attended the event for the first time.

They made history as the first K-Pop group to grace the MET Gala red carpet together, looking dapper in custom Tommy Hilfiger suits.

The stars aligned when the two artists crossed paths at the event! A photographer managed to capture the exact moment Stray Kids first saw Jennie.

Felix and Lee Know, in particular, were noticeably surprised, their mouths forming the shape of an "O."

The younger group made sure to stand up right away to greet their senior. After all, Jennie debuted two years earlier in 2016.

As the buzz continues, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates from Stray Kids and Jennie and are sending their love and support to the stars.

A memorial for 8-year-old Kim Haneul, who tragically lost her life in the Daejeon elementary school murder case, has become a place for people to pay their respects.

What caught the eye of many, however, was a thoughtful flower arrangement sent by K-pop group IVE.

On February 11th, reports revealed that Kim Haneul's memorial has attracted a steady flow of visitors, including family, friends, and even those who didn't know her personally but wanted to mourn her loss.

Among the visitors was Haneul’s father, Mr. A, who shared some touching details about his daughter’s love for IVE, particularly for member Jang Wonyoung.

According to Mr. A, Haneul’s biggest dream was to meet Jang Wonyoung. “Whenever Jang Wonyoung appeared on TV, Haneul would stay up late just to watch her live,” he shared.

The father went on to say, “If anyone from IVE sees this, I would be so thankful if Jang Wonyoung could say a warm goodbye to our Haneul.”

A heartfelt photo card from IVE was placed in front of Haneul’s portrait at the memorial, showing the young girl's admiration for the K-pop group.

Later, fans and netizens shared messages like “Haneul, go and become a beautiful star,” hoping that IVE’s gesture would send warmth to Haneul.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Kim Haneul and her teacher, Mr. B, were found at an elementary school in Daejeon on the afternoon of February 10th.

Haneul was rushed to the hospital but tragically passed away. Police investigations revealed that Mr. B had made a shocking statement: "I was going to kill anyone and die together." It was later confirmed that Mr. B had no connection to Haneul.

The police have stated they will continue to investigate Mr. B’s motives and the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident once his health improves.
