• Kim Jaejoong Reflects on Returning to 'Inkigayo' After 16 Years: "Feels Like Home"

    Kim Jaejoong recently shared his thoughts on returning to a music show after 16 years.

    On the August 11th episode of SBS's 'Inkigayo,' Kim Jaejoong gave an interview that caught everyone's attention. It was his first time on a music show since 2008, making this a big moment after such a long break.

    Kim Jaejoong originally debuted in 2004 as a member of TVXQ. However, in 2009, he and fellow members Kim Junsu and Park Yoochun were involved in a legal battle with their agency, SM Entertainment, which led to them being restricted from appearing on TV.

    During the interview, when asked about how it felt to be back, Kim Jaejoong said, "It’s been so long, but it feels like I’m visiting my hometown."

    He also mentioned that while the place still felt familiar, some things had changed. "The snack bar is different now. I used to love the sandwiches, but they’re gone. But the seaweed soup is still here, and I still love it."

    To hype up his performance, he sang a few lines from his songs 'Glorious Day' and 'I AM U' during the interview.

    The episode also featured performances by other artists like DIGNITY, LIGHTSUM, Bang Yongguk & Jung Daehyun & Yoo Youngjae & Moon Jongup, BamBam, BLACKSWAN, Stray Kids, MCND, Weeekly, YOUNITE, Jeon Somi, CATCH THE YOUNG, KOKOON, and Tony Yu.

    Jung Woo Sung is back in the spotlight, making waves in China with his latest move.

    According to News1 on April 3, Jung Woo Sung recently visited Beijing alongside Lee Jung Jae as co-founders of Artist Company. The two reportedly met with major entertainment officials, including those from Alibaba Group’s entertainment division, sparking speculation about the potential end of China’s Hallyu ban (Han Han Ryeong).

    Industry insiders shared, "Jung Woo Sung and Lee Jung Jae appear to have discussed Korea-China joint film productions with key figures in the industry."

    Their visit has already become a hot topic in China, with fans quickly spreading sightings of them on Chinese social media platform Weibo. A previous photo of the two visiting a cigar bar with top Chinese actress Zhou Dongyu also resurfaced, drawing even more attention.

    This marks Jung Woo Sung’s first public appearance since his ‘out-of-wedlock child’ controversy in November last year.

    At the time, he shocked the public by admitting he had a son with model Moon Ga Bi. However, he made it clear that they were not married and stated, "As a father, I will take full responsibility for my child."

    Meanwhile, Jung Woo Sung is set to make his acting comeback this year with the Disney+ original series Made in Korea, raising anticipation for his return to the screen.
