• aespa's Karina and Byeon Woo Seok Stuck in Cars as Prada Event was Canceled Due to Safety Concerns

    The Prada event planned for October 24 was canceled due to a large crowd gathering, following a request from the Seongdong District Office. On the 25th, Seongdong District Chief Jeong Won-oh explained, “Since 7 PM on the 24th, our officials and the police have been monitoring the area. However, safety concerns due to crowd density increased. We decided we could not continue with the event and asked the organizers to end it voluntarily.”

    He added, “The event was held near a city bus garage, which causes heavy traffic during rush hours. After discussions with the police and other officials, we requested the brand to cancel the event. Thankfully, they agreed quickly, and no one was injured.”

    The event was meant to celebrate “Prada: The Sound of Prada” in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong District. Many celebrities were expected to attend, including Jeon Somi, TWICE’s Sana, aespa’s Karina, Kim Tae Ri, NCT 127’s Jaehyun, ENHYPEN members (Jungwon, Heeseung, Sunghoon, Sunwoo, and Niki), Byeon Woo Seok, and more.

    However, videos from fans at the scene showed chaos as fans tried to catch a glimpse of the stars, creating a messy situation with cars returning home. Security and police struggled to manage the crowd, leading to some vehicle collisions and city buses halting their routes.

    Reports say that some stars, including Byeon Woo Seok and Karina, were unable to leave their cars. Karina even used a fan platform to tell fans, “Don’t wait, go home.” Other stars waiting nearby also couldn’t enter the venue.

    To prevent further crowd issues ahead of Halloween, the Seongdong District Office announced it would set up a situation room from October 25 to November 1, operating until 2 AM.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
