연예인들 산불 피해복구 지원에 릴레이 기부 Time for some K-entertainment news with Bella Kim. So Bella, yesterday we talked about Korean celebrities showing support for the wildfire recovery efforts in the southeast of the country. We have more stars contributing? The generous wave of donations is continuing for the wildfire recovery efforts. Among the music industry, BTS members RM, J-hope and Suga each donated 100 million won, or roughly 68,000 U.S. dollars to the Korea Disaster Relief Association. SM Entertainment, the agency for aespa and NCT, also donated 300 million won. In addition, IVE, LE SSERAFIM, NCT Doyoung and RIIZE, under their fandom name BRIIZE , contributed generously as well. Actors have also stepped up to support wildfire relief efforts including Lee Jong-suk, Byun Woo-seok, and Jang Geun-suk. Our next story is an update on an on-going controversy between actor Kim Soo-hyun and late actress Kim Sae-ron . Please give us the details. The family of Kim Sae-ron released what is claimed to be evidence supporting their assertion that she was in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun when she was still a minor. Bu Ji-seok, the family’s legal representative, held a press conference on Thursday and presented several SNS messages while criticizing Kim Soo-hyun and claiming that he was lying about the relationship. The KakaoTalk messages exchanged between the two reportedly date back to 2016, when she was a minor and include phrases like “Miss you,” “Wanna hug you” and heart emojis. The lawyer also revealed an unsent letter Kim Sae-ron wrote to Kim Soo-hyun. He stated that the press conference was held in hope to end the criticism directed at the family. Please continue to keep us updated on this issue. Let’s move onto our last story on a newly released, but not so new song by a K-pop girl group. What song are we talking about? It’s aespa’s mega-hit song “Whiplash.” The English version of the title track “Whiplash” from the group's 5th mini-album was released on Thursday. This single also includes a remix version of the same song by world-renowned DJ Steve Aoki. Aoki has reinterpreted the distinct vocals of aespa members in his own style. Meanwhile, aespa will perform the English version of “Whiplash” for the very first time at “Billboard’s Women in Music 2025” held in Los Angeles Saturday, on March 29th. Great to hear that global fans can now easily sing along to the song.
