• Kwanghee Thought He Was Rude to Jung Hae In—Finally Gets a Chance to Say Sorry

    Kwanghee finally met Jung Hae In after accidentally speaking casually about him before!

    On the February 23rd broadcast of Good Day, a special gathering of top stars born in 1988 took place.

    The star-studded lineup included G-Dragon, Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Hae In, Im Si Wan, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Kwanghee, bringing the "88 Nation" together for a fun and nostalgic meeting.

    Kwanghee was the first to arrive at the I Am Solo-inspired segment and was hoping for a familiar face. "This is going to be awkward. I hope Im Si Wan comes," he said nervously.

    But instead, it was Jung Hae In who showed up—fresh off a flight from Japan that he adjusted just to make it to the gathering!

    Though they were meeting for the first time, the two already had a funny history. During a previous appearance on Pingego with Im Si Wan, Kwanghee had mentioned Jung Hae In multiple times—casually calling him by name even though they had never met.

    Realizing this might have been rude, he later sent a message to Jung Hae In, saying, "I’ve never met Jung Hae In-nim before, but I kept calling him just ‘Jung Hae In,’ and it’s been bothering me."

    Now face-to-face, Kwanghee brought up the moment again. "You must have felt uncomfortable," he said, looking apologetic. However, Jung Hae In reassured him with a warm smile, saying, "Not at all. I’m actually grateful that you mentioned me on the show."

    Fans loved seeing this lighthearted exchange and the unexpected bond between the two stars! What do you think—was Kwang Hee’s concern necessary, or was it all just a funny misunderstanding?

  • NewJeans' Fandom Divided Over Lawsuit — Truck Protest Outside HYBE Raises Concerns about Massive Financial Penalties

    The NewJeans contract dispute is getting more intense, and now, some fans have started a truck protest urging ADOR to talk things out.

    On March 27, trucks were spotted in front of HYBE’s headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul, displaying messages like “We respect NewJeans, but we can’t let them walk a dangerous path” and NewJeans has 6 members, but the penalty is for 5.”

    These protesting fans are worried about NewJeans’ decision to keep fighting the lawsuit despite the court already ruling in ADOR’s favor. They warn that if NewJeans loses the main case, the financial penalty could be massive.

    The court previously dismissed the group’s claims for contract termination, raising concerns that the members could face even bigger disadvantages in the next trial.

    NewJeans first notified ADOR of their contract termination last November and later rebranded as NJZ, preparing for independent activities.

    However, the court sided with ADOR, stating there was "not enough reason to justify ending the contract." Despite this, NewJeans has filed an objection, and a new hearing is set for April 9.

    The group firmly claims that “trust with ADOR is completely broken, and we cannot work together anymore.” But inside the fandom, opinions are split—some want to support the members no matter what, while others worry that “this fight might only hurt them in the end.”
