• GOT7's BamBam Shows Off Big Heart, "Bought My Parents a Two-Story House with My First Salary"

    GOT7's BamBam is set to be a special MC on KBS 2TV's variety show "Boss's Ears Are Donkey Ears" (directed by Ahn Sang-eun), airing on the 21st.

    On the 19th, the show’s producers announced that BamBam will join the "SaDangGwi" episode as a special guest MC. During a recent recording, BamBam talked about how he used his first earnings to support his family. Known for his generosity, BamBam shared, "I used my earnings to buy my parents a two-story house in Bangkok and got a car for my younger sister who has a long commute."

    BamBam, who is originally from Thailand, also shared some funny stories from his 14 years in Korea. He said, "When I was a trainee, I used to pretend not to understand when the trainer scolded me, saying things like 'Your words are too fast' or 'You used too difficult Korean words.' Sometimes, the trainer would get tired and scold me less," adding a humorous touch to his stories.

    When asked by Jeon Hyun-moo about his Korean skills, BamBam showed off his language abilities by explaining, "I understand Korean well. When I argue, it turns into a disagreement, but when senior Myungsoo argues, it turns into a fight." His clear explanation made the hosts laugh.

    BamBam also reacted to the messy desks of KBS's new announcers, suggesting, "Let’s call Brian-hyung to clean the office." This led to a debate about whether senior colleagues should clean up after juniors. Announcer Eom Ji-in said she helps clean with a motherly attitude because the juniors hadn’t cleaned up for a while. However, Jeon Hyun-moo argued that while the intention was good, it might be seen as "Why did you touch my desk?"

    The episode airs on the 21st at 4:40 PM.

  • 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.
