  • After the police found Wheesung passed out at his home on two occasions this past month for using an anesthetic similar to propofol, the singer has tested negative for all illegal drugs. Nevertheless, Wheesung has been forwarded to the prosecution over suspicions of propofol usage in the past after the police acquired a testimony from a drug dealer that claimed they sold illegal drugs to the singer before. ~ Naver
  • Jo In Sung recently went to a hospital to perform a small procedure on his knee after he started feeling pain in going about his everyday activities. The agency stated that the knee pain was not due to his filming for his new film Escape. ~ Naver
  • Jeon So Min halted all activities for a period of one month due to increasing health concerns. After not being in good physical condition for some time, the actress had visited a hospital and with the doctor's recommendation was advised to rest at home and has, therefore, halted all activities in order to recover from the accumulated fatigue. ~ Naver
  • Former KARA's member Kang Ji Young was hit by a drunk driver while going back home from filming her new drama Midnight Snack Couple. The actress suffered minor injuries and has since received proper medical treatment, which consequently temporarily halted her filming activities. ~ Naver
  • After Jang Geun Suk's mother, who's the CEO of Tree J Company, the actor's former agency, got indicted without detention on charges of tax evasion, the director of the agency stepped up to inform the public and the actor's fans that Jang Geun Suk had not been aware nor involved in any way of his mother's wrongdoings. The actor and the director had already planned to part ways with Tree J Company and to establish their own agency, even before the actor's mother got involved in this incident. ~ Naver, Full English statement - Soompi

Since April 3, 2020, the singer's agency confirmed that Wendy has been discharged from the hospital and is now receiving outpatient treatment at her home. ~ Naver

  • Ha Jung Woo shares his experience in an interview after being blackmailed for three months when his phone got hacked with several other celebrities.
