• NewJeans' Hanni Sets the Record Straight After False Claims of Visa Issues and ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Label

    NewJeans' Hanni is finally speaking out after her visa situation caused major drama online!

    On February 12th, the parents of the NJZ members shared a strong statement through their social media account, clearing up the confusion about her visa status.

    The statement revealed that there has been a flood of rumors and false reports about Hanni’s stay in Korea.

    "Yesterday and today, speculative articles about Hanni's domestic stay qualifications have been flooding in, and false information has been spreading, so we wish to correct this," they said. They continued, “Hanni was legally granted a new visa on February 11th through the proper procedures.”

    But the drama didn’t stop there. The statement also called out Hanni’s agency, ADOR, for allegedly pressuring her and her parents into signing a visa extension agreement.

    "ADOR pressured the parents and the individual by sending emails requesting signatures on a visa extension agreement, warning that refusal could lead to illegal stay," the parents claimed.

    They even accused the agency of submitting personal information without consent to the authorities, which they described as an “unreasonable action.”

    The biggest shocker? The parents slammed some media outlets for using the term “illegal immigrant” without checking their facts.

    "Some media outlets have abused the term 'illegal immigrant' based on unverified facts and spread false rumors, leading to unnecessary complaints,” they stated.

    They also mentioned that these articles were based on unnamed sources and inaccurate details about Hanni’s visa.

    With about 70 articles popping up in just the last two days, the statement stressed that personal and private information, like the type and expiration date of Hanni’s visa, was carelessly shared without her permission.

    "This has caused serious harm to her rights," they added. The parents expressed deep regret over how much misinformation has been spread and pointed out that only ADOR could have provided the correct details.

    Hanni’s fans are now rallying behind her, hoping that the situation will settle and that the truth will be fully recognized.

  • Kwon Eun Bi proudly says “I don’t share income anymore” after becoming a building owner thanks to Waterbomb popularity

    Kwon Eun Bi is living the dream — solo success, tons of ads, and now… a building under her name!

    On April 21, a new episode was uploaded on the Donghaemul and Baekdu Eunhyuk YouTube channel.

    In the video, Kwon Eun Bi opened up about her viral Waterbomb moment, her career boost, and her big investment move.

    The former IZ*ONE member confidently said, “Is there a Waterbomb goddess I feel competitive with? Honestly, not even one. I don’t care. Aren’t I the best?” Eunhyuk backed her up, saying, “The original has a different level. I can’t argue with that.”

    Eun Bi also talked about how nervous she was at the time. “That was my first festival in Seoul. I was alone on such a big stage, and I was so nervous. You never know when success will hit. I didn’t think that performance would blow up,” she said.

    Surprisingly, she didn’t feel the buzz while performing. “I was on stage around 1 PM, and there were still lots of empty seats. I kept thinking, ‘Is this okay? What if it goes badly?’ But when I got home, the reaction just exploded. I was shocked!”

    Eunhyuk asked, “You must’ve gotten a lot of ads after that, right?” She replied with a smile, “Yes, I did a lot of ads after Waterbomb.” KCM chimed in and teased, “You even bought a building with all that money!”

    Eun Bi laughed and admitted, “I was already making money before, but after Waterbomb, the income ratio felt like 3 to 7. I got tons of commercial deals and events. And since I’m working alone now, I don’t need to share my income with group members, so that helped a lot.”

    Netizens are cheering her on, calling her a true queen of the solo era — with business smarts to match her talent!
