In a message posted early April 8 on the fan platform Weverse, Jung Kook said, “I should apologize to ARMY about a recent live.” He added, “If I think about whether I did something seriously wrong, honestly I’m not sure. I’m not a public official, and these are things people in this industry all say.” He said he realized fans may have felt uncomfortable because he had not shown that side of himself before, adding, “I want to say I’m sorry to our ARMY who felt uncomfortable, and I’ll hold back.” Jung Kook also said he did not want to say much to “people who are busy criticizing everything,” adding, “Thank you for your interest.” In February, Jung Kook drew controversy after making an obscene hand gesture and using profanity toward an acquaintance during a live broadcast. * This article has been translated by AI. 2026-04-09 07:57:15

    Singer Kim Jang-hoon Says In-Flight Smoking Incident Was 'Not Normal,' Admits Fault Singer Kim Jang-hoon has spoken about a past incident in which he smoked on an airplane. Kim appeared on the YouTube channel "Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life" on Monday. He said he was scheduled to perform in Paris, but his instrument did not arrive because of a delivery problem. He said he "made a scene" and threatened to sue, but the instrument still had not arrived by the next morning. Kim said he then suffered a panic attack, stayed up all night and took medication before passing out, and that the performance ended while he was unconscious, costing him credibility. He said he kept taking medication for panic disorder on the flight but could not calm down, and in anger took 30 sleeping pills at once. "I wasn't in a normal state," he said, adding that he became curious whether a real alarm would sound. Kim said he then smoked on the plane and an alarm went off. He said police were waiting when he got off the aircraft, and that when he asked whether he would be handcuffed, they told him it was not necessary and questioned him immediately. "No matter the reason, I said it was my fault," Kim said. "I decided I wouldn't make excuses." 2026-04-08 09:36:15

    Actor Song Il-gook Says Son Mingu “Scoffed” at His ‘Immortal Songs’ Appearance Actor Song Il-gook shared an update on his triplets. Song appeared on KBS2’s “Immortal Songs — 2026 Entertainment Industry King of Kings Special, Part 2,” airing on Friday afternoon. Song said it was his first time singing on a broadcast. He added that his wife is president of a court band club and that his son Mingu is preparing to study composition. Song said that when he told Mingu he would be appearing on “Immortal Songs,” his son responded, “What? Dad?” and then scoffed, drawing laughter. When Lee Chan-won asked whether the boys were at the age for adolescence, Song said it was “intense” and that he lives “praying day by day.” He said his wife works at a court, so the boys’ teenage frustrations are directed at him rather than their mother, which he described as difficult. Comedian Kim Jun-hyun said the boys probably would not like their father talking about them on TV during adolescence. Song replied, “Kids, please understand. I have to make a living.” * This article has been translated by AI. 2026-04-04 20:51:14
