Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.

Actor Go Kyung Pyo is taking on a new challenge—losing weight!

On the March 6th episode of tvN’s Sixth Sense City Tour, Go Kyung Pyo joined Yoo Jae Suk, Song Eun Yi, and Mimi in Gangnam, where his slimmer face quickly caught attention.

As soon as they gathered, Song Eun Yi pointed out, “Kyung Pyo’s swelling has gone down,” noticing his leaner look in just a week.

Go Kyung Pyo grinned and responded, “Really? That’s great news,” before adding with a determined tone, “I’ll keep losing more weight.”

Sensing something behind his words, Song Eun Yi curiously asked, “Did you make up your mind about something?” to which he confidently nodded.

When she guessed, “Did you get cast in a new project?” he replied with a laugh, “To get cast, I need to show that I’m in shape and ready.”

Song Eun Yi then playfully asked, “So, you haven’t been cast yet?” Go Kyung Pyo casually admitted, “Yeah, no projects are coming in,” making everyone burst into laughter with his honesty.

Fans loved his straightforward and humorous take on the situation, cheering him on for his positive attitude.
