Rapper Lee Young Ji just revealed that NCT’s Mark surprised her with an expensive Rolex watch, worth around 16 million KRW (~$12,000 USD), and her reaction was priceless!

On January 29, Lee Young Ji took to Instagram to share her overwhelming feelings, writing, "I’ve only ever given Rolex watches to others but never owned one myself. But Mark gifted me one as a thank-you for featuring on his song. It was such a huge gift that I couldn’t even bring myself to wear it. I’ve just been keeping it, whispering, ‘The king’s ears are donkey ears.’"

She went on to explain how it all happened, saying, "During the music video shoot, Mark kept asking me if there was anything I wanted. I kept saying no, but he kept insisting. So, just as a joke, I told him to buy me a Porsche—never thinking he’d actually do anything. And then… he showed up with a Rolex, which I guess is kind of similar to a Porsche. I almost fainted!"

Mark even made sure she liked it, telling her she could be honest if she didn’t. Lee Young Ji hilariously added, "I just sat down and cried (exaggeration)."

She then made a dramatic promise, saying, "I told him I’d wear it until I retire, but he said I was being too much. Since he didn’t believe me, I told him I’d make sure to be buried with it—so he better live longer than me."

Ending her post, she expressed her gratitude, writing, "Mark, I’ll cherish this and wear it well. Thank you for inviting me on a great song and giving me such a thoughtful gift. My first-ever watch! Genius artist Lee Mark, wishing you long life and fortune!"

Lee Young Ji featured on Mark’s solo track Fraktsiya, released in December 2023, and it seems their collab turned into a truly unforgettable memory.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
