• Dex reveals his biggest food struggles—Says cilantro tastes like a barbershop and sweet potatoes ruin dishes

    Dex admitted he’s a picky eater when it comes to vegetables.

    On the March 23 episode of JTBC’s Please Take Care of My Refrigerator Since 2014, Dex’s fridge was revealed, and it left everyone surprised.

    Inside, the only vegetables he had were lettuce, perilla leaves, and potatoes. He explained, “I only keep what I like.”

    Previously, during a cooking battle featuring Lee Da Hee’s fridge, MC Kim Sung Joo even caught Dex picking out all the vegetables, including zucchini.

    Lee Da Hee backed this up, sharing, “I recently had a meal with him at a Single’s Inferno gathering, and he asked for cucumbers to be removed from his cold noodles.”

    Dex confessed, “Yeah, I can’t eat cucumbers. The smell is too strong. I’ve never been able to eat them since I was a kid.”

    He also listed other vegetables he avoids, saying, “I don’t like carrots, cilantro, or bell peppers.”

    But his take on cilantro had everyone laughing. “Cilantro tastes kind of like a barbershop,” he claimed.

    He even has strong feelings about sweet potatoes! “I like potatoes, but I don’t like sweet potatoes. If sweet potatoes are in a dish, it just ruins it for me.”

    Fans couldn’t help but find his food preferences amusing, with many saying they relate!

  • 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.”
