• 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.

    The producers of Single’s Inferno 4 finally shared their thoughts on Yook Jun Seo and Lee Si An’s unforgettable night together!

    On February 13, Xports News met with Single’s Inferno 4 directors Kim Jae Won, Kim Jung Hyun, and Park Soo Ji at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.

    Single’s Inferno 4 is the hit reality dating show where contestants must pair up to escape “Inferno,” a deserted island.

    Since its first season, the show has been a global sensation, becoming the first Korean variety show to enter Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English TV).

    Season 2 racked up 65.08 million viewing hours, and Season 3 stayed in the Top 10 for five weeks in 31 countries. With Season 4’s wild success, Single’s Inferno 5 was officially confirmed!

    But what really had fans talking this season? Yook Jun Seo and Lee Si An’s night in “Paradise.” Their cozy moment in bed had panelists Hong Jin Kyung, Dex, and Hanhae in shock, asking, “What happened?”

    PD Park Soo Ji addressed the buzz, saying, “There was nothing edited out. Everything was on camera. We didn’t manipulate anything.”

    She continued, “We focused on their emotions, not just what viewers might find exciting. That night, they shared a blanket and grew closer—it truly felt like a couple’s moment. We knew people would be curious, so we wanted to show that journey.”

    She also admitted, “We didn’t edit with keywords like ‘bed’ or ‘spending the night’ in mind, but even we were surprised. It was something we hadn’t seen before.”

    PD Kim Jae Won chimed in, saying, “People reacted strongly because it was on camera, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. It’s natural for young people in their 20s who are dating.”

    He added, “Their chemistry was real, and it showed. That’s what makes this season different.” He also pointed out, “Among all the seasons, Yook Jun Seo and Lee Si An were the most unguarded and sincere. Their honesty won people over, and I think their popularity will keep growing.”
