Belift Lab has firmly denied any claims that NewJeans' Hanni experienced bullying within HYBE.

On October 7, Belift Lab released an official statement saying, "The I-Land staff member (manager) never told anyone to 'ignore' NewJeans members," and added, "The I-Land members have never passed by NewJeans members without greeting them."

The agency explained, "We always instruct all artists from different labels to be polite to each other. We carried out a thorough investigation and gave all the requested explanations."

The agency added, "However, despite this, new unverified claims continue to surface, leading to discussions about an incident that never happened, even during a National Assembly inspection. We are concerned that there might be other motives behind this."

Belift Lab also shared that the staff member involved is deeply upset and struggling with mental distress because of these accusations.

Earlier, on September 11, NewJeans' Hanni mentioned in a live broadcast that she had experienced this kind of behavior, which was believed to involve an I-Land manager.

BLACKPINK member Jennie made a special surprise appearance at Zico's concert, leaving fans and even Zico himself in shock!

On November 24, Zico celebrated the 10th anniversary of his solo debut with his concert, "ZICO LIVE: JOIN THE PARADE," at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Olympic Park. The event was filled with excitement as Zico performed for fans after a long time.

Zico kicked off the night with his hit songs like "New Thing" and warmly greeted the audience. He said, “It’s been so long. I missed you. A solo concert feels so different from other events. I’ve really missed being with you at a concert like this.”

He added, “‘Join the Parade’ is my first solo concert under my name in six years, so it’s very special to me. Plus, this year marks 10 years since my solo debut. My journey in music has felt like a parade, and tonight, I want to show you all of it in different parts.”

Zico thanked his fans, saying, “A parade always has spectators, and I think that’s its most important value. You are my wings, and I’m the body. Let’s fly together and make this the hottest place in the world tonight!”

The crowd erupted with cheers when Jennie unexpectedly joined Zico on stage during his performance of "Freak." Without any prior announcement, Jennie gave a brief but unforgettable performance, lighting up the stage before leaving just as suddenly.

After the show, Zico shared how surprised he was. “I didn’t know Jennie would come on stage. Suddenly, the music director told me through my in-ear monitor to stop singing, and I started imagining all kinds of things. Then Jennie appeared, and I was completely shocked. I even did a stage here that I hadn’t done at the MAMA Awards!”

This concert marked Zico’s first solo event in six years since his 2018 "King Of the Zungle" tour, making it a night to remember for fans. With Jennie's surprise appearance, it became even more unforgettable!
