The last week of May started with the news of the group BTS 'Billboards 200'. Techs Kies fans have asked their agency to exclude Ko Ji Yong from the Techs Kies profile. Band FT Island Choi Min-hwan, group Labom Yulhee, actor Choo Ja-hyun and China actor Woo Hyo-kwang were also reported. Rappers C jamm and Basco have been arrested on suspicion of smoking cannabis.
BTS, ‘Billboards 200’ No. 1 and ‘Hot 100’ No. 10
BTS topped the Billboards 200 chart in the United States with its third regular album LOVE YOURSELF Tear released on the 18th. Billboards focused on the 27th (local time) by posting a series of articles saying that "BTS won the first place".
"BTS's record is the first of the Billboards 200 for the first time in K-pop," said Billboards. "It is the first record in foreign languages, not English since 2006." In addition, the title song FAKE LOVE has reached number 10 on the single chart Hot 100, the first K-pop group to perform.
“I don’t feel real,” BTS said through its agency Big Hit Entertainment, “and I’m grateful to fans around the world and I’ll be a better BTS.”
“Ko Ji Yong, please exclude from the Techs Kies profile.”
In 2016, a fan alliance of the group Techs Kies, which was reunited and active, asked YG Entertainment, a subsidiary company, to "exclude Ko Ji Yong from the profile of the Techs Kies on various portal sites." “Ko Ji Yong and his company are advertising for investors using the names and fandom of the Techs Kies,” the fan association said in a statement. “We are carrying out viral marketing using the Techs Kies hashtag through SNS to steal trademark rights.”
“Sechs Kies have already been reunited for two years, and Ko Ji Yong has a small chance of reuniting,” YG said. “We will officially request all portal sites to revise their profiles at the request of fans.”
“Marketing using fandom is a misunderstanding,” said Ko Ji Yong, who countered that the company wanted to correct the problem because it was maliciously edited.
Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee, Choo Ja-hyun and Woo Hyo-kwang
Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee became parents, and Choi Min-hwan said on her SNS on the 28th, "On May 18, my first son came to our arms. I am so happy. I will live well in the future. "
Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee, who admitted their devotion last September, announced their pregnancy earlier this year; and will have a marriage ceremony on October 19th.
Choi Min-hwan will continue his career with FT Island, with Yul-hee leaving the team.
Choo Ja-hyun and Woo Hyo-kwang, who gained popularity by appearing on SBS entertainment program Dongsangmong 2-You Are My Destiny, also got out on the 1st. Woo Hyo-kwang said through his agency BH Entertainment, "I want the child to grow up with a wide and deep heart like the Taemyung of the child who said," I want to grow up like the sea. "
Choo Ja-hyun and Woo Hyo-kwang, who made a relationship with China drama 'Happy Times of Mara Girlfriend' in 2012, marriage in January last year.
