Cha Eun Woo’s younger brother, Lee Dong Hwi, is making headlines not for his striking looks, but for his expertise in AI.

On November 16, Lee appeared on the YouTube channel Sebasi Talk, speaking at the AI Summit Seoul & Expo 2025 at COEX. A Fudan University alumnus, he has gained attention not only for his resemblance to his famous brother but also as an emerging AI expert.

Lee shared that his work is inspired by his close experience with the entertainment industry: “Having grown up near celebrities, I understand their concerns how they communicate with fans and how entertainment companies manage data feedback. I wanted to create solutions that gather and utilize this data effectively.”

He explained his ultimate goal: “Celebrities often endure pain from malicious comments. While constructive feedback helps them grow, excessive media abuse can be damaging. We’re planning a system to protect individuals exposed to the media in this era of personal influencers.”

After a year since announcing their contract termination, all five members of NewJeans are reportedly set to return to ADOR. Following Haerin and Hyein, members Minji, Hanni, and Danielle have now expressed their intention to resume activities under the label.

On November 12, Minji, Hanni, and Danielle told Yonhap News, “After careful discussions, we have decided to return to ADOR. One member is currently in Antarctica, which caused a delay in communication. Since we have not yet received a response from ADOR, we are announcing this separately. We will continue to meet our fans through sincere music and performances.”

ADOR responded, “We are confirming the sincerity of the members’ intention to return.”

Earlier, the label confirmed that Haerin and Hyein would continue activities with ADOR, respecting the court’s ruling that upheld their exclusive contracts.

NewJeans had previously requested the reinstatement of former CEO Min Hee Jin, whose dismissal amid disputes with HYBE led to their contract termination last year. ADOR maintained that the contracts remained valid and filed a lawsuit, with the court ruling in the agency’s favor.

ADOR has reportedly been preparing for the group’s comeback, even submitting a list of new songs to the court.

Team Bunnies, part of NewJeans’ music production team, also issued a statement expressing full support for the members’ decision to stay with ADOR and continue their activities together.

“Hello, this is Team Bunnies.

Following the first court ruling confirming the validity of the exclusive contracts, NewJeans members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein have decided to maintain their exclusive contracts with ADOR and resume their activities under the company.

Team Bunnies respects the members’ decisions in any situation and will continue to support and stand by the five NewJeans members with unwavering hearts.

Since July 2023, Team Bunnies has been an independent, one-person team that has supported NewJeans as part of the music production team in the design field. As direct resolution of certain matters was difficult, we have proceeded with the help of external Bunnies volunteers. We sincerely apologize for any shortcomings caused by operating as a one-person team and wish to clarify once again that there are no connections with any company executives, employees, or related personnel.

Following this decision, Team Bunnies will continue to fulfill its original role as part of the NewJeans music production team, just as before.

Thank you.

“She’s the most beautiful of all female idols” Red Velvet’s Irene goes viral for her breathtaking visuals at a recent event

Red Velvet’s Irene has once again gone viral for her stunning appearance.

On November 11, the idol attended the grand opening of Longchamp’s new luxury pop-up store. However, it wasn’t the event itself that drew attention it was Irene’s captivating beauty.

Known for her timeless, princess-like visuals, Irene charmed fans once more with her elegant look. Wearing a graceful white outfit paired with simple yet classic hair and makeup, she exuded effortless sophistication.

Photos and videos of Irene from the event have been circulating widely on social media, with netizens delighted to see the return of her signature elegance and beauty.

Former ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin appeared in court on November 11 as a witness in ADOR’s damages lawsuit against director Shin Woo Seok and Dolphiners Films, the team behind NewJeans’ “Ditto” and “ETA” music videos. The third hearing took place at the Seoul Central District Court, presided over by Judge Lee Hyun Seok.

This was Min’s first court appearance since September, when she faced HYBE in a separate legal dispute over contract termination and stock options.

During testimony, Min stated she had given verbal approval for the release of the “ETA” director’s cut and clarified that ADOR held the copyright, saying:

“Copyright belongs to ADOR. Apple is a partner — I have the authority to approve creative rights.”

Min called ADOR’s damages claim “unreasonable,” arguing that it was “an abuse of the law” to seek penalties over a verbally approved project. She also dismissed allegations of favoritism toward Dolphiners Films as “baseless and slanderous.”

The conflict began when Dolphiners Films uploaded a director’s cut of “ETA” on its own YouTube channel in August last year. ADOR objected, claiming the upload was unauthorized. Afterward, Shin removed all related videos, but tensions escalated when both sides accused each other of false statements and defamation.

The legal battle between ADOR and Dolphiners Films continues to unfold as the court reviews claims of copyright, consent, and reputational damage.

IVE’s Jang Wonyoung has further cemented her elite status by purchasing a luxury villa in Hannam-dong’s UN Village for 13.7 billion KRW (~9.3 million USD).

According to the real estate industry and the Supreme Court Registry Office, Jang acquired a 244㎡ unit in Lucid House, located in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, in March and completed ownership registration last month. No mortgage appears on the registry, suggesting the purchase was made entirely in cash. The seller was Lee Ji Yong, former CEO of Daelim Trading and a second-generation member of the DL Group.

Lucid House, the first development project by Daelim D&I, boasts one of UN Village’s most exclusive addresses. With only 15 households across two buildings, the villa offers panoramic views of the Han River and Namsan, 24-hour security, and private elevators for each unit. The property was previously home to actress Kim Tae Hee, who bought a unit in 2012 for 4.35 billion KRW and sold it in 2018 for 6.4 billion KRW.

Born in 2004, Jang Wonyoung has solidified her position as IVE’s irreplaceable center, combining striking visuals with talent. This year, she has dominated the advertising world as the face of Woori Bank, Malto, Binggrae, Dyson, Dashing Diva, Barer, JIM BEAM, and New Balance.

IVE recently concluded promotions for their 4th mini-album, ‘IVE SECRET’, and held their first-ever three-day solo concert at KSPO Dome, selling out every seat and reaffirming their status as a top-tier girl group.
