• EXO's Suho Faces New Controversy as Chen Baekhyun and Xiumin Sues SM Entertainment

    EXO leader Suho finds himself in the midst of controversy once again, this time involving members of ChenBaekXi (Chen-Baekhyun-Xiumin).

    On June 14th, Suho was set to hold a round of interviews with reporters at his agency to mark the conclusion of the MBN drama 'The Crown Prince Has Disappeared'.

    He has been actively promoting his solo mini 3rd album 'Dotted Line (1 to 3)' and recently completed his first solo concert, generating high anticipation for insights from the interview.

    However, just hours before the interview, Suho faced unexpected trouble. INB100, the agency representing EXO members Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin as part of ChenBaekXi, announced their decision to sue SM Entertainment, EXO's management company.

    INB100 stated, "We will file a lawsuit against SM Entertainment for overdue settlement claims. We seek transparency in financial matters as per our contracts and fair treatment under the law. Our aim is to ensure a fair judgment regarding the fairness of SM's exclusive contracts through this legal process."

    This isn't the first time Suho's activities have been disrupted by issues involving ChenBaekXi. Last year, during the musical 'Mozart!', Suho tactfully addressed questions about the group's internal conflicts, emphasizing EXO's solidarity and commitment to delivering great music to their fans.

    ChenBaekXi's recent actions have raised concerns within SM Entertainment, particularly regarding potential impacts on other EXO members' solo activities. SM responded, "Despite our efforts to accommodate their activities, including confirming terms with INB100, ChenBaekXi continues to misrepresent our cooperation."

    Earlier, INB100 alleged that SM failed to fulfill a 5.5% music distribution commission and unfairly demanded 10% of revenues from ChenBaekXi's individual projects while withholding financial details.

    In response, SM defended its stance, accusing INB100 of seeking benefits without fulfilling obligations and taking legal action against Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin for contract violations.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Reveals How She Boldly Told YG's Yang Hyun Suk She Loved Being Chubby – And Why It’s So Powerful

    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.
