• tripleS' Kim Na Kyung Reveals Why She Feels Awkward Watching BIBI on Stage—She Kisses Fans When She’s Excited

    Kim Na Kyung opened up about some “embarrassing” moments caused by her sister, BIBI, and left everyone laughing with her story!

    On the January 25 episode of JTBC's Knowing Bros, a special Lunar New Year family edition aired with fun sibling duos like Park Nam Jung and STAYC's Sieun, Shim Shin and KISS OF LIFE's Belle, and BIBI with her younger sister, tripleS’s Kim Na Kyung.

    When asked to share something embarrassing about her family, Kim Na Kyung didn’t hold back. “When my sister gets excited, it’s so embarrassing,” she said, grabbing the attention of the cast.

    She then explained, “When she’s on stage and gets excited, she sometimes even runs to the fans and kisses them!” This left everyone in the studio in stitches. Belle, impressed by BIBI’s boldness, responded, “That’s actually so cool!”

    BIBI defended herself, saying, “It’s not about getting excited. Why would I get excited? It’s my way of showing love to the fans.”

    But Kim Na Kyung wasn’t letting it slide. She mimicked BIBI’s over-the-top gestures, saying, “She’s like, ‘Huh, ha!’ and completely loses it,” making everyone laugh even harder.

    Kim Na Kyung continued to roast her sister, adding, “It feels like she loses control of herself.” However, BIBI explained her perspective, saying, “It’s not like I’ve only been on stage once or twice. You need to bring energy and excitement to the atmosphere.”

    Not stopping there, Kim Na Kyung delivered one last punchline: “She even acts like that at home!” leaving the studio in fits of laughter.

    Fans loved seeing the playful sibling banter and couldn’t help but admire their close relationship. Despite the teasing, it’s clear that the two sisters share a special bond filled with humor and love!

  • ADOR Drops Bombshell in Court: "NewJeans' Success Was Possible Because of HYBE’s 21 Billion KRW Investment and 'BTS’ Little Sister' Branding"

    ADOR is fighting to keep its hold on NewJeans (NJZ) and has revealed in court that the group’s success wasn’t just about talent—it was backed by massive financial support from HYBE.

    On March 7, the Seoul Central District Court held a hearing on ADOR’s injunction request to keep managing NewJeans and prevent the members from signing their own advertising deals.

    ADOR argued, NewJeans is one of Korea's top girl groups, and while their talent and hard work are key, that alone doesn’t explain their rapid rise. From their trainee days, our entire team—over 50 staff members, including stylists, choreographers, and directors—dedicated themselves to their success.”

    The company then dropped a major revelation, saying, “HYBE invested 21 billion KRW ($15.7 million) in ADOR in two phases. This level of funding for a single group is unheard of. Thanks to this, we built a special fan platform just for NewJeans and spent 10 billion KRW on their debut and marketing alone.”

    But that’s not all—ADOR also pointed out that NewJeans heavily benefited from HYBE’s connections, saying, “Before their debut, they were featured in BTS’ music videos and promoted their songs with HYBE artists through challenge videos. They were introduced as ‘BTS’ little sister group’ and marketed as the next BTS—even surpassing BTS.”

    This legal battle is far from over. NewJeans made headlines last November when they held a surprise press conference, declaring, “Our exclusive contract with ADOR is over,” and announced their new group name, NJZ. They’re even set to perform at ComplexCon in Hong Kong on March 23, hinting at their future without ADOR.

    However, ADOR insists that NewJeans is still under contract until July 31, 2029, and has taken legal action to prevent them from leaving. With both sides standing firm, fans are eagerly watching to see how this high-stakes fight will unfold.
