• Lee Yoo Bi Shares Funny Childhood Mishap "Mom Caught Me Reading 'R18 Comics'"

    Actress Lee Yoo Bi, known as the daughter of Gyung Miri, shared a funny childhood memory involving "racy comics." On the 10th afternoon, the YouTube entertainment show "Jibdaeseong," featuring Lee Joon, Lee Yoo Bi, and Lee Jung Shin, the main stars of the SBS weekend drama "7th Level Civil Servant," was released.

    During the episode, Lee Yoo Bicaught attention by recalling her past, saying, "I don't have many stories like this. I once got busted by my mom for reading racy comics back in elementary school."

    She continued, "Since I couldn't borrow them from the comic book store, I'd make up stories like, 'My cousin won't run errands unless she lends them to me, it's her errand,' and sneak them in. I'd hide in the closet, pretending to organize clothes, and enjoy reading them."

    Lee Yoo Bi shared a humorous twist, saying, "But one day, I got caught red-handed. My mom barged into the room suddenly, and in my panic, I shoved the comics too hard under the bed, only for them to end up under my mom's feet. Needless to say, I got an earful for that," sparking laughter.

    Meanwhile, Lee Yoo Bi's younger sister, Lee Da In, is also making waves as an actress. Notably, she tied the knot with singer and actor Lee Seung Gi in April last year and welcomed a daughter in February this year.

    The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

    This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

    Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

    They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

    “Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

    But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

    Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

    With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
