The reason why G-Dragon cast aespa’s Karina in his TOO BAD music video has finally been revealed!

On March 19, G-Dragon’s official YouTube channel released exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the MV shoot.

In the video, G-Dragon is seen working closely with the performance director and staff, personally coming up with ideas, planning the concept, and even overseeing the entire set.

During a production meeting, the team discussed the need for a female lead, saying, “The bridge part needs a female protagonist to create the feeling that things are going well.” G-Dragon admitted, “I don’t know who to cast either, but we definitely need a female lead.”

Then, without hesitation, he made his decision—“In my opinion, it has to be Karina.” This revealed that casting Karina was entirely his idea!

Later in the footage, Karina and G-Dragon’s first meeting on set was shown. Right from the start, the two displayed amazing chemistry, especially in their dance scenes.

G-Dragon even demonstrated movements himself, advising Karina, “You can strike multiple poses like this,” and she executed them perfectly, making the MV even more stunning.

G-Dragon expressed his gratitude, saying, “I know Karina must be really busy, so I truly appreciate her appearing in the music video. I’m personally a fan, and I hope aespa’s fans also enjoy watching it.”

Throughout the filming, G-Dragon stayed deeply involved in directing various scenes, once again proving his artistic vision.

He wrapped up by saying, “I hope everyone enjoys this a lot. Please show it lots of love and support—this is for you all.”

It was recently revealed that BTS member Jungkook became a victim of a massive stock theft while he was serving in the military.

On March 22, BigHit Music confirmed the incident, stating, “As soon as Jungkook and the company found out about this crime, we acted immediately by freezing the affected accounts and restoring everything to its original state to prevent any real damage.”

According to Biz Hankook, back in January 2024, while Jungkook was undergoing basic military training, three unauthorized securities accounts were opened under his name.

A total of 33,500 HYBE shares—worth around 8.3 billion KRW—were transferred into these accounts. The perpetrator even attempted to sell 500 shares (worth about 126 million KRW) to a third party for profit.

In March 2024, Jungkook filed a lawsuit to get back the 500 shares that were sold. The Seoul Western District Court ruled in his favor in February, confirming that Jungkook was just a victim of identity theft and that no valid stock transfer agreement existed. The court ordered that all shares be returned to Jungkook.

Despite this, the person behind the stock theft has not yet been caught. BigHit Music reassured fans, saying, “We have taken additional legal steps and strengthened security measures to protect the artist’s personal information and devices to prevent anything like this from happening again.”

Meanwhile, Jungkook enlisted in December 2023 and is currently serving as an active-duty soldier. He is expected to be discharged on June 11.
