• ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo Opens Up About His Ideal Type and It’s Not What You Think!

    ASTRO member Cha Eun Woo has made a surprising revelation about his preferences when it comes to relationships. The 27-year-old star recently shared that he prefers younger women over older ones!

    The revelation came during a video uploaded to Lee Seung Gi's YouTube channel on December 11th, where Cha Eun Woo took part in the remake of Lee Seung Gi's classic debut song, "Because you're my woman", which was being released 20 years later.

    Lee Seung Gi couldn't hide his excitement, saying, “I think people will like your version even more,” eagerly anticipating Cha Eun Woo’s take on the song.

    However, while recording the track, Cha Eun Woo admitted that it wasn't easy, telling Lee Seung Gi, “This is really hard!” To this, Lee Seung Gi responded, “This isn’t an easy song, it’s harder than you think."

    Offering some encouragement, Lee Seung Gi added, “But I think people will like your version more.” In a lighthearted moment, Cha Eun Woo responded, “I’m not at the age to be looking for an older woman anymore,” comparing the song's lyrics to his own life.

    Lee Seung Gi jokingly teased him, saying, “But your older woman would probably be younger than mine,” making Cha Eun Woo burst into laughter.

    With a smile on his face, Cha Eun Woo then said, “I’ll do my best,” and got back to recording with a fresh burst of energy. Fans couldn’t stop talking about his playful comment and his easygoing personality!

  • NewJeans Faces Backlash for Allegedly Contacting Brands Without Agency Approval – Is This a Game-Changer or a Huge Mistake?

    NewJeans has made waves after announcing their decision to terminate their exclusive contract with their agency, ADOR.

    Now, the group is taking matters into their own hands by directly reaching out to global luxury brands to negotiate ambassador contracts. However, this bold move is raising concerns and sparking controversy in the entertainment industry.

    According to sources on December 18th, NewJeans recently attempted to contact luxury watch brand O, negotiating a two-party contract through their manager A, who is still affiliated with ADOR.

    This move came after NewJeans declared the end of their contract with ADOR on November 29th. Insiders claim that NewJeans began bypassing their agency, reaching out to advertisers on their own with the help of ADOR staff.

    In an interview, Manager A revealed, "I conveyed NewJeans' intention to continue fulfilling their advertising contracts as planned, even after the contract termination." This admission sparked controversy, as it implied that NewJeans was trying to negotiate directly with advertisers, which may violate the terms of their previous agreement with ADOR.

    During their press conference announcing the termination of their contract, NewJeans assured the public that they would continue with their scheduled events and advertisements, with the full support of ADOR.

    However, it seems that the group may have gone behind ADOR’s back to pursue a deal with brand O, which could result in legal issues.

    Legal experts have pointed out that these actions could potentially be seen as a breach of the exclusive contract, warning that it may lead to serious consequences for NewJeans in any future legal disputes. In addition to brand O, it was reported that NewJeans also attempted to directly approach another luxury brand through a different manager, B, who left ADOR.

    As the situation continues to unfold, ADOR has taken action. Manager A has been placed on standby, and ADOR has informed brand O that any direct contract with NewJeans could be seen as a violation of their agreement. The agency has also told other potential advertisers that all deals involving NewJeans should be coordinated through ADOR.

    The ongoing drama has left many fashion brands cautious about working with NewJeans. Sources say that brands, once eager to sign the group for major ambassador deals, are now reconsidering their options.

    One industry insider commented, "NewJeans was a group that had a lot of potential, but with this situation, it’s hard to say if brands will take the risk. It’s a shame because they were on track to be as big as BLACKPINK."

    As confusion continues to grow, many are questioning if NewJeans"self-independent" move will hurt their reputation in the fashion world. The group's popularity is undeniable, but the risks associated with bypassing their agency might cause some brands to think twice.
