In the latest episode of Pixid’s Country Kitchen Dream, (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon took viewers on a journey through a traditional Korean village.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of various tasks, she found a sense of familiarity and comfort.

“I feel at home here now,” Soyeon shared while walking toward the village hall. But her reflections didn’t stop there.

She drew parallels between this peaceful village and her experience at CUBE Entertainment, the agency she’s signed with.

“It’s like being at CUBE,” Soyeon explained. “Kinda comfortable but kinda uncomfortable.” It’s a sentiment that many artists can relate to—the push and pull of creative freedom versus industry constraints.

(G)I-DLE made their debut under CUBE Entertainment in 2018, and Soyeon has been a driving force behind their success.

As the group’s head producer, she’s earned praise for her innovative ideas and musical leadership.

However, Soyeon hasn’t always had an easy path. She’s spoken out about the company’s lack of support for some of her decisions.

Take the song “DUMDi DUMDi,” for example. CUBE Entertainment initially opposed its release, doubting its potential success.

“There were many times when we almost used someone else’s song,” Soyeon revealed. “My company said ‘DUMDi DUMDi’ wasn’t good, and they wanted to choose a different track. There were some villains there.”

Soyeon’s candid remarks shed light on the complexities of the artist-agency relationship. Despite the challenges, she continues to thrive as a talented performer and producer.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
