'True Beauty' artist transforms Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho into idol-like webtoon characters

 

A webtoon artist gave Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho a drawing as a gift.

In the episode of tvN's  'Yoo Quiz on the Block' that aired on December 1st, artist Yaongyi revealed the drawing of Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho drawn in her art style, which drew the attention of viewers.

These drawings drew attention the previous week when the artist behind the popular webtoon 'True Beauty' was seen giving the gifts to the two hosts. 

When the drawings were revealed, netizens were shocked at Yangyi's talent and how handsome Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho looked. As soon as Jo Se Ho saw Yoo Jae Suk's drawing, Jo Se Ho said, "This is unreal, this is unbelievable."  The same reaction came out when Jo Se Ho's drawing was revealed.

Netizens commented, "I don't want to admit it, but the photos look really similar to them," "Both of them became so good looking in Yaongyi's drawing," "They look like idols in the drawing," and "This is so funny that the pictures actually look like them."

Former AOA member Mina sends out a message to the malicious commenters calling her "Trash"

 

Former AOA member Mina sent out a heartfelt plea to the malicious commenters.

On December 1st, Mina left a message on her Instagram, saying, "I hope December goes by smoothly and is ordinary." She continued to write, "The words 'Trash', 'slut', 'die,' 'mentally ill' are the words I read the most this year. There's a saying that if you're frequently cursed at, you live longer. So please let me live less. I think I'll become immortal this way."

It seems like Mina was trying to pass the situation pleasantly and lightly, but her words expressed her feelings of being tired of the malicious comments directed at her.

In response to Mina's post, netizens commented, "Cheer up! and ignore the malicious comments", "Don't think about any more bad things," "We'll protect you," "You need to sue all the people leaving malicious comments, they need to go to jail," and "Why do these people leave malicious comments? Don't mind them."

Meanwhile, Kwon claimed in July that she had been constantly bullied for 11 years by AOA member Jimin. Initially, Jimin denied Mina's claims, but eventually admitted to her wrongdoing and left AOA.

AOA's agency FNC Entertainment apologized, saying, "We hope Kwon Mina, who is having a hard time than anyone else, will recover her health as soon as possible, and we deeply apologize for not having been able to examine the relationship between the members more carefully."

Since then, Kwon has reportedly terminated her contract with her agency, Woori Actors, and recently started her beauty business after receiving psychological treatment.

GOT7 talk about what makes them breathe, thoughts on romance, & recent hobbies

 

In light of their comeback with their 4th full album 'Breath of Love: Last Piece', GOT7 took part in a Q&A interview!

The members got to share with fans what they've been up to lately, their comeback preparations, and more. Check out some of the members' answers below!

Q: What allows GOT7 to continue breathing?

JB: "I think it is those small moments of liberty and leisure that come in times of difficulty. Everyone struggles in life, living is never an easy task. But in that life, to be able to cherish and relish just a moment of respite moves me and gives me strength."

Mark: "These days, my dog Milo makes me happy, just by looking at him."

Jackson: "I think that I am able to go on breathing because of our fans."

Jinyoung: "I think for me, it's the process of working on music. Of course I also love performing and showing the world our music, but every moment that I spent working on this album, I had a lot of fun. I think this time around, working on our album gave me the strength to breathe on."

Youngjae: "My family, my dog Coco, and IGOT7."

BamBam: "Of course it's IGOT7."

Yugyeom: "IGOT7, my family, and my friends."

Q: In your opinion, what is romantic?

JB: "I think to be romantic is to respect others, whether it's a lover or just others you have a relationship with in general. Maybe how much you think of that person is important."

Mark: "I think it's those moments when you feel an unknown sort of happiness just by being together, even though no one is saying anything. It's similar to when we are with our fans."

Jinyoung: "For me, being romantic is responding to any situation smoothly."

Youngjae: "I think that it is romantic to buy flowers and nice clothes for my mother, since she is also a woman."

BamBam: "You can experience romantic feelings from anyone, from their specific charms. I think that honest actions are the most romantic."

Q: What are some hobbies you want to suggest to your fans?

JB: "These days, I'm into animation, so I want to suggest watching animation."

Mark: "There are so many good games these days. I want to suggest some games fans can play together."

Jinyoung: "I want to suggest swimming. It is a difficult sport, but you are so focussed on moving that you can't think of anything else."

Youngjae: "Building blocks. I don't have time to do it as often these days but it really makes you focus and erases those extra thoughts."

BamBam: "I am into exercise these days. I want to work out with our fans."

Rapper Lee Young Ji tops search engines after she reveals that she overslept and missed today's national college entrance exams

 

Rapper Lee Young Ji overslept and missed the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT)!

December 3 marked a very very important day for many graduating high school students in South Korea. It's the day of the national CSAT! But rapper Lee Young Ji, who is also graduating high school next year, was not able to wake up to her alarm and completely missed out on the exam. She took to her Instagram story to confess in a series of emotional posts:

The first post, which she uploaded at around 10:45 AM (The exams started at 8:10 AM), read, "Yes, this is real life, I got nervous and stayed up late working on music, and then slept through my alarm. All time legend life fail. But even people like me are living fine and eating fine. Everyone. Don't feel so dejected. You are the best."

Next, she said, "A lot of you are comforting me, but it's okay because I didn't even study so even if I made it there, I would have spent all day just reading but not comprehending what I was reading, just blindly answering. I'm not that disappointed. Actually, I was hoping to go and contribute the lowest score possible, but it's too bad I didn't get to do that. It's fine as long as the people who really studied hard get the results they want." 

When a fan pointed out that Lee Young Ji was trending on search engines for her big mishap, she replied, "It's still really embarassing...;;;"

She even gave a shoutout to the news articles about her, commenting, "Wow there are even news articles about this. There's no answer to my life. I mean, even if my life is legendary, I'm still embarrassed kekekekekekeke."

Finally, Lee Young Ji thanked her mom for the delicious lunch she packed for her to take to the exam center.

And once again, assured everyone that she did not study, and so she was fine with missing the exam.
