LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura shared a funny yet relatable moment about her younger brother’s music taste!

On the March 23 episode of SBS’s Running Man, Sakura and her fellow member Hong Eunchae appeared as guests for the “Charging Before Leaving” race.

During the episode, Sakura talked about her much younger brother, saying, “He was born in 2010, so we’re 12 years apart."

She added, "He’s going through puberty, so he doesn’t really care about his sister being in a girl group. He likes me, but he doesn’t show it.”

Curious, Yoo Jae Suk asked, “Do you think he likes your group?”

Sakura hesitated before revealing, “I think so… but he told me he likes IVE and aespa more.”

However, she added with a laugh, “Though when I’m not around, he listens to LE SSERAFIM’s songs.”

Netizens found her story adorable, with many saying they could relate to siblings who refuse to admit they’re fans!

Former DIA member Somyi is taking legal action against the YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) for spreading false rumors about her alleged relationship with PocketDol Studio’s CEO, Kim Kwang Soo.

On March 28, Somyi’s agency, Modenberry Korea, released an official statement, saying, “We will take legal action against ‘Gaseyeon’ for spreading false claims that Somyi and CEO Kim Kwang Soo were in a relationship.”

The agency strongly condemned the allegations, adding, “‘Gaseyeon’ broadcasted false claims that Somyi and Kim Kwang Soo were dating, intentionally spreading misinformation. This is a clear case of defamation, and we will take strong legal measures to protect our artist.”

They also made it clear that they won’t stand for any more baseless rumors, stating, “We will not tolerate reckless speculation about our artist. We are already gathering evidence through legal representatives and will respond with a zero-tolerance policy.”

The controversy started when Gaseyeon uploaded a video titled “DIA Members Fighting Over One Man”, claiming that Somyi, Kim Kwang Soo, and another DIA member, referred to as A, were involved in a love triangle.

The claims quickly gained attention, especially due to the 39-year age gap between Kim Kwang Soo (born in 1961) and Somyi (born in 2000).

Meanwhile, Modenberry Korea recently announced on March 27th that they had signed an exclusive contract with Somyi, marking a new chapter in her career.

Somyi debuted as a member of DIA in 2017 and was active for about two years before leaving the group.

After parting ways with PocketDol Studio, she transitioned into a BJ (broadcast jockey) and has continued her career in that field.
