[2/28] Kpop News Roundup (Lawsuits, Tours, And More!)

Howdy Howdy

I finally have a tiny bit of free time so here is a small news roundup!

Jin Court Case

*Slight Trigger Warning*

In June of last year BTS's Jin was assaulted at the 2024 BTS Festa after a fan tried to kiss him on stage.

Here is the post from last year about it.

Over 8 months later we have finally gotten an update on this situation. A Japanese woman in her 50's has been summoned by police for the assault and a court trial will take place. Jin will also be summoned since he is the victim.

It was said in the article source it took this long because police had to get help from interpol and it took 7 months to specify who the lady was.

(Which seems crazy to me because there was specific requirements you had to have met to even get into fan hug event, and wouldn't HYBE have a list of everyone who attended since she would have needed to buy a ticket or something? Unless this lady did everything under a fake name?)

The police have charged the woman with sexual harassment and they have summoned her though she has yet to respond to the police.

World Tours

We have had a LOT of tour announcements!

here are just a few:

NCT/WayV's Ten has announced he will be going on a solo concert tour:

Spoiler

Le Sserafim has announced they will be going on a world tour starting with the Asia part of the tour.

I am so excited for LSF! I feel like this tour is long overdue!

Spoiler

And following the wrap up of Taemin's US tour, Onew has announced the locations for his US tour!

Spoiler

Johnny Interview

A recent interview of NCT's Johnny has been trending online!

Johnny has been announced as a brand ambassador for ACNE STUDIOS and was interviewed upon being promoted!

He was giving really funny/sassy answers and fans are loving his sense of humor and sass.

I'll put the trending interview parts under cut, but please check it out!

Spoiler

VCHA Court Case

The first court case for KG, former member of VCHA, against JYP Ent has been announced for March 6th.

(Coincidentally this is one day before the first court trial for NJZ's case against ADOR which is March 7th).

This is the court case for her multiple cases of abuse she faced against JYP's Staff (I believe she is suing just the American division which was handling VCHA? But I could be wrong?)

It's sensitive content, but here is the OG post about it from December.

We hope you can get justice KG!

Park Bom Hiatus

As you guys are probably aware, 2NE1 is currently on tour right now, and Park Bom has been a hot topic in the media after she has repetitively been calling actor Lee Minho her husband.

Her company has announced she will be canceling all activities in March to focus on her mental and physical recovery, and prepare for 2NE1's encore concert in April.

Congrats Byeon Wooseok

To end things off I wanted to say a congrats to someone!

People have been congratulating model and actor Byeon Wooseok for becoming a Prada global ambassador!

Way back during his time as a model Wooseok auditioned to walk for Prada as fashion weeks but was always rejected. Having him now be welcomed into Prada as a Brand Ambassador years later is a very huge and special accomplishment!

Congrats Wooseok!

Happy Birthday

We have a very special Happy Birthday today!

Malraeng, aka the Chihuahua featured in NCT's Sticker MV, has turned 7!

Happy Birthday Malraeng!

Today's QOTD is:

What is your dream pet?

It can be a real animal or a not real animal such as a pokemon or dragon.

My lifelong dream is to one day own a tiny dog such as a chihuahua or Pomeranian (probably leaning more towards chihuahua since pom's have a LOT of health issues). A heeler might be fun too though I don't live on a farm.

I've only ever had very large dogs so I would be a nice challenge to have a small dog for once.

My life dream would also be to own pet bunnies though i'm really not educated enough on rabbits to properly care for one.

If I could have a pokemon as a pet though I would want a fuecoco! His head is completely empty. He has no thoughts. I love him so much.

What is your dream pet?

Tune in next time for another news roundup!​

qootd: I always wanted to have a sphynx cat
like how can you not love them

oh and penguins cause they are gay

for pokemon, piplup has been my baby since like 2006

I'm really routing for KG, especially after that refreshingly mature response she gave in regards to her choice to leave. I'm still impressed and wish others handled themselves with this level of mindful maturity.


On Bom- I hope she is receptive to any help she might need. It looks unfortunately similar to others on the cusp of a mental break.


For the QOTD: I've always wanted a giant tortoise!

Spoiler

and because you all know I wouldn't pass up a chance to talk Pokemon... I choose Bulbasaur!

I love watching tortoise videos on TikTok! Tiptoe the tortoise is always welcome in my feed

I’m also really glad Bom is getting help. I know asking for help is really hard so I’m glad she’s taking a step to take care of her health.

Spoiler

Also once again we are twinning. Although fuecoco is my son, my favorite Pokémon is ivysaur/bulbasaur.

In Pokémon green I somehow ended up with a female bulbasaur starter which is apparently super rare? So bulbasaur has always been my good luck charm

Sphinx cats can be cute! I see a lot of people dress them up in sweaters and stuff and it’s adorable!

There was a video I saw on TikTok where someone got a tiny kitten sphinx but it was winter so it needed a sweater but it was so tiny they had to make the cat a sweater out of a small sock and it melted my heart

 

[Polaris_Tae]

for qotd: I would like to have a hamster as a pet. Too bad they're illegal here. If not that, then a cute fennec fox

Can LSF come to my country again?
I missed out on seeing them last time, and HYBE acts (namely BTS) tend to avoid my country during their tours

@Chomiczewska is illegal in your country? Damn, what crimes did they commit to get banned?

Also where do you live where you can have a fox but hamsters are illegal?

I use to have a hamster and they are cute, but they are very high maintenance and they will die in the most most traumatic way possible where years later you will still be scared for life

The government wants to protect our cute little native animals. We're still scarred from the foxes & rabbits invading the country alongside the British

 

[BianTwo]

I heard about Jin's case, among 500 fans I think it happened once with that lady if I remember. The bodyguards weren't as quick. I expected more cases but even one is too much. I was also surprised it took that long.

HYBE avoiding Europe again ?

For VCHA KG, I think it's against JYP USA ? They tried to "import" the Korean method in the US but no way it would work with local laws and with the Western culture/mentality.
With this case, I'm wondering about Katseye and if we'll have a similar issues or if the training method is different.

Bad month for 2NE1 after Dara and now Park Bom

As for a pet dream, I think about a bird from the Corvus family : Crow, Raven, Rook

We're basically a twinship at this point lol

Bom being more delulu than me these days
