• BTS's V and Jungkook's Lawsuit Against YouTuber 'Taldeoksooyongso' Moves Forward with 2nd Hearing

    The legal battle involving YouTuber A, the creator of the channel 'Taldeoksooyongso,' continues as BTS members V and Jungkook seek justice.

    On October 25th, the Seoul Western District Court will hold the second hearing for the damages lawsuit filed by BigHit Music and BTS's V and Jungkook. The lawsuit demands 90 million KRW in compensation from YouTuber A.

    Back in March, BigHit Music, along with V and Jungkook, took legal action against the YouTuber for defamation and other violations. BigHit has been firm in protecting their artists' rights, previously suing netizens who spread malicious rumors, stating, “We will continue to take strict legal action against defamation, false information, and slander. There will be no settlements or leniency.”

    In June, BigHit specifically called out 'Taldeoksooyongso,' saying, "We filed a lawsuit in 2022 against the YouTuber for defamation. Even though the investigation was initially suspended, we pushed for it to resume, which led to further legal steps earlier this year."

    V himself addressed the situation on Weverse after coming across a video by 'Taldeoksooyongso.' In response to a fan post, he said, “I’ll proceed with the lawsuit… they even attacked my family and friends.” V also expressed his frustration, adding, “All artists hate people like that. I’ll sue them on behalf of those who were hurt.”

    During the first hearing, BigHit explained, “'Taldeoksooyongso' has spread false information and profited from defaming our artists." However, A’s side argued that their content was simply an expression of opinion, claiming, “The videos were not defamation, but public interest matters.”

    Meanwhile, in a separate trial, the prosecutor recently requested a four-year prison sentence and a fine of 211.42 million KRW for YouTuber A, citing charges of defamation and insult. The prosecutor emphasized how the YouTuber damaged the reputations of V and Jungkook through false videos and malicious comments.

    A has since expressed regret and read an apology letter in court, saying, "I deeply apologize for the pain I caused. I regret my actions and will live with responsibility moving forward."

    BigHit Music remains firm, stating they will continue to fight to protect their artists from malicious attacks.

  • Lee Min Ho Shares the Hilarious Story Behind His Famous Baeksang Fall—The One Thing He’ll Never Forget!

    Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

    On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

    The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

    Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

    He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

    Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

    Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

    It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
