• SHINee’s Key Cheers for YG and Blackpink with Fun Dance Moves on "The Game Caterers"

    SHINee’s Key had fans laughing and cheering as he revealed his love for Blackpink on the latest episode of Business Trip Fifteen.

    On the November 29 episode, Key was part of a fun and competitive game with 10 SM Entertainment artists, including stars from different generations like Kangta, Changmin, Leeteuk, Hyoyeon, Suho, Seulgi, Doyoung, Karina, and Wonbin.

    The episode kicked off with a 5 vs. 5 music quiz. When the intro of Blackpink's Playing with Fire played, Key immediately recognized it and shouted the answer. He then surprised everyone by showing off perfect dance moves to the song while enthusiastically shouting, “I really like YG!!” This playful moment had the entire cast laughing.

    PD Na Young Suk jokingly teased him, asking, “Didn’t you say pink blood runs through your body? Are you really this into YG songs?” Leeteuk chimed in with a funny suggestion, “Doesn’t ‘Black Pink’ count?” Key laughed and explained, “I’ve always loved other people's songs for the past 16 years of my career."

    Key also requested that the next quiz questions be about songs from 2005-2010. This prompted Karina, born in 2000, to jokingly say, "I was just a little kid back then..."

    In a surprising twist, Karina nailed the next question, correctly guessing Hyun Young’s Sister’s Dream, leaving everyone in shock.

  • Lucy’s Choi Sangyeop Apologizes for Controversial "Paper Wrap" Comment: "I Did Not Mean Any Harm, I’m Sorry for My Carelessness"

    Choi Sangyeop, a member of the band Lucy, has issued an apology following the controversy surrounding his "paper wrap" comment, which some people found offensive.

    On December 4th, Choi Sangyeop took to the fan platform Bubble to apologize, saying, "I realize that I disappointed many people with the words I shared on Bubble." He continued, "I apologize for using inappropriate words and causing concern to those who have supported me."

    The issue started when a fan mentioned their "Polaroid camera," and Choi Sangyeop replied with "paper wrap." He went on to explain, "When you take a Polaroid, paper comes out," but some netizens misunderstood it as a derogatory remark toward women, linking it to a negative term for menstruating women.

    In his apology, Choi Sangyeop clarified, "The words I used were not meant to have any other meaning or intention. However, I regret my carelessness and will be more careful in the future."

    He added, "Although it’s a little late, I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who was hurt or disappointed. I will be more mindful of my actions going forward." He also bowed in apology.

    Choi Sangyeop debuted as a member of Lucy in May 2020 and has earned a lot of love with hits like "Kehwa," "Nori," and "Hero." Lucy will be holding their solo concert "Lucy Days" on December 8th at the KBS Arena in Seoul.
