• BabyMonster Set to Rock 'Inkigayo' with Powerful Live Performances

    YG Entertainment’s rookie girl group, BabyMonster, is ready to prove their impressive live performance skills once again as they prepare for their first stage on SBS’s Inkigayo.

    The group will appear on Inkigayo on November 10, marking the official start of their comeback activities. This follows the release of stunning YG-produced performance videos, which have already earned the group significant attention.

    BabyMonster has already impressed with every music show stage they've performed, and expectations are high for this one. This time, they’ll be performing with handheld microphones, showcasing their flawless live vocal abilities that they proved with their hit SHEESH.

    For their live performance, BabyMonster will introduce two double title tracks. They’ll debut DRIP, an EDM-based dance track with dynamic beats and a signature YG hip-hop vibe, and CLIK CLAK, an original hip-hop song where all members will rap for the first time.

    After dropping their music video and performance clips, fans are eagerly awaiting BabyMonster’s live stage. Both songs feature top choreographers, with key dance moves already generating excitement and likely to go viral.

    BabyMonster made their official comeback on November 1 with their debut full album [DRIP]. The album ranked 2nd on the iTunes Worldwide Albums Chart, topped iTunes charts in 13 regions, and claimed the No. 1 spot on Japan's Line Music real-time album chart.

    On YouTube, DRIP topped the 'Most Viewed Video in 24 Hours' chart, and the pre-release track CLIK CLAK ranked in the Global YouTube Daily Top 10 for four days. U.S. Billboard praised BabyMonster’s debut album, calling it “filled with charming tracks” and naming them one of the most exciting new K-pop groups for 2024.

  • Min Hee Jin says she won’t apologize as ex-ADOR employee demands over $70K for emotional damage

    The legal battle between former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin and a former ADOR employee, known as "A", is still far from over.

    On May 26, the Seoul Western District Court’s 21st Civil Division will hold the second hearing in a damages lawsuit filed by A. The lawsuit demands about 100 million KRW (approximately $73,000 USD) from Min Hee Jin.

    This all began in August of last year when A accused Min Hee Jin of defamation and violating personal information laws, and filed both criminal and civil complaints.

    A claims they experienced workplace bullying and sexual harassment by ADOR’s former deputy CEO, "B", and said that Min Hee Jin, who was the CEO at the time, tried to cover it up instead of taking action.

    Min Hee Jin strongly denied the claims. She responded by releasing private chat logs between her and A, along with an 18-page written statement defending her position.

    Back in January, both sides joined a court-led mediation session in an attempt to settle the civil case. A’s side said they would consider settling if Min Hee Jin apologized.

    However, Min Hee Jin's side declined, firmly stating, “We cannot admit to any of the claims,” and the talks broke down.

    During the first hearing in March, the court told both parties to organize their arguments and submit their opinions on the evidence, which the court will now review in the upcoming second hearing.

    The case has drawn attention as it involves serious accusations and one of the most high-profile figures in the K-pop industry.
