• IVE's Ahn Yujin Opens Up About How aespa's Karina Reached Out to Her First After Wanting to Get Closer

    IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

    On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

    During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

    Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

    When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

    She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

    Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

    Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

    With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

    Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.

  • Lee Jong Suk Shocked after Hearing What’s Happening to NewJeans - Fans Can’t Believe his Reaction to their Legal Battle

    The legal fight between NewJeans and ADOR has officially begun, and actor Lee Jong Suk’s reaction is grabbing attention.

    On April 3, the Seoul Central District Court held the first trial for ADOR’s lawsuit against NewJeans, aiming to confirm the validity of their exclusive contracts. This follows the court’s previous decision on March 21, which sided with ADOR and blocked the members from carrying out entertainment activities.

    NewJeans previously argued for contract termination based on 11 reasons, including issues with Min Hee Jin’s removal as ADOR’s CEO, claims that HYBE undervalued their success, and even allegations that HYBE considered “ruining” their brand.

    However, the court dismissed all of these claims. In response, the members expressed their frustration through international media, calling the ruling “shocking” and saying, “It seems like South Korea wants to turn us into revolutionaries.”

    While fans remain divided, Lee Jong Suk’s reaction has sparked a huge discussion. The actor, known for his calm and reserved personality, was reportedly taken aback by the situation. “This is crazy… What is even happening?” he allegedly said after hearing about the legal battle. His shocked response quickly spread online, with fans agreeing that the situation is beyond belief.

    With NewJeans suspending their activities and ADOR holding the upper hand in court, all eyes are now on how this legal fight will unfold.

    The next steps will determine whether NewJeans can overturn the decision or if ADOR will maintain full control over their careers.
