T-ARA's Hyomin's wedding bells to ring in April?
The news was reported first by Sports Kyunghyang, saying that the 35-year-old singer will be saying 'I do' in a private ceremony to be held in Seoul on 6 April.
It added, "The groom-to-be is a tall and handsome non-celebrity who works in the finance sector."
Close friends reportedly have already received the invitation to the wedding.
Meanwhile, on 12 February, Hyomin posted a short message on Instagram Story, writing, "I sincerely thank you for your many blessings and interest. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your personal questions one by one because yesterday was the launch of the brand I've been collaborating with."
"I'm surprised to hear this at first, but I'll be back with good news soon," she added.
Prior to Hyomin, three T-ARA members have already tied the knot. Park So-yeon married footballer Jo Yu-min in 2022. Park Ji-yeon got married the same year to baseball player Hwang Jae-gyun (though they parted ways in 2024), followed by Areum, who married in 2019, got divorced and remarried in 2023.

According to TMZ, Gwinnett County police responded to reports of a dispute that escalated into gunfire. Officers arrived at the scene and provided emergency medical care before T-Hood, born Tevin Hood, was transported to a nearby hospital. He later succumbed to his injuries. According to authorities, one person has been detained in connection with the shooting and is currently being interviewed by police. No charges have been announced at this time, and the investigation remains ongoing. T-Hood's mother, Yulanda, confirmed the tragic news and also addressed speculation surrounding the incident.

Bryson Tiller's ‘The Vices': All 12 Tracks Ranked
And just like that, Tiller SZN is in full swing. More from Billboard Fans Choose Gunna's 'The Last Wun' as This Week's Favorite New Music Mariah Carey Returns to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart With 'Type Dangerous' Cardi B's 'Outside' Tops Billboard Rhythmic, Rap Airplay Charts Just over a year after sharing his heart-baring self-titled album, which featured the Billboard Hot 100 top 20 hit 'Whatever She Wants,' Bryson Tiller is already back with the first half of his sprawling new double album. Titled Solace & The Vices, Tiller's fifth studio album gives equal consideration to the two sounds that dominate his catalog: sharp bars sourced from his rap roots, and introspective, trap-infused R&B. On Friday (Aug. 8), Tiller shared The Vices, the rap-rooted side of his double LP, featuring production contributions from Hitmaka, Charlie Heat, Teddy Walton and Gravez, as well as guest appearances by Bossman Dlow, Rick Ross, Plies, T-Pain, Bun B, Luh Tyler and Babydrill. Across the record, which balances notes of sexy drill and different pockets of Southern hip-hop, Tiller weighs the impact of his vices, temptation's constant allure, and the journey to repairing and solidifying his one true romance. The new record arrives at a particularly busy time for Tiller. In June, the Grammy-nominated star began his run as an opener for Chris Brown's globe-trotting Breezy Bowl XX Tour. The two R&B leading men brought the show to the U.S. on July 30, tapping R&B heavyweights Summer Walker and Jhené Aiko, who will also serve as openers for select dates. A few days earlier, Tiller and Brown released their sixth collaboration, a RIOTUSA-produced and Usher-nodding midtempo titled 'It Depends,' which has debuted at No. 43 on the Hot 100 (dated Aug. 9). And later this year, Tiller will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Trapsoul, his landmark debut album, which changed the trajectory of 2010s R&B and spent over 400 weeks on the Billboard 200. Here is Billboard's ranking of every song on Bryson Tiller's The Vices. 12. '200 Bands' feat. Plies & T-Pain A standard R&B-inflected, braggadocious rap track, '200 Bands' finds Tiller tapping into Florida hip-hop through his link-up with homegrown '00s icons Plies and T-Pain. While Plies delivers a solid guest verse, T-Pain feels a bit underutilized, with his Auto-Tuned background vocals adding interesting textures to Bryson's lead vocals. Still, his muted presence makes for a slightly unfulfilling listen, especially since '200 Bands' is a thematic successor to 'Shawty,' Plies and Pain's 2007 Hot 100 top 10 smash. 11. 'Make Life Easy' feat. BabyDrill For what feels like more of a sketch than a fully realized track, Tiller taps rising ATL rapper Babydrill for a brief ode to their ideal relationship dynamic. As long as their ladies' respective energies and presence make their lives easy, Tiller and Babydrill are more than happy to return the favor and 'max this AMEX plat.' In a way, Tiller briefly fashions something honorable out of his vices, resulting in a smart inflection point on the emotional journey he undergoes throughout the album. 'The way you make me feel is so unusual, I ain't used to it, no/ This s–t feel good, this s–t feel great/ That's why I gotta make life easy for you,' he spits at the end of his seemingly off-the-cuff verse. 10. 'More Than Money' Another track on which he pledges to spend it all on his favorite girl, Tiller spends 'More Than Money' outlining all of the things he'd never trade his shawty for. Likening his woman to a 'safe investment,' Tiller uses the track to explain how her value surpasses anything money can measure. Saved by the bounce-inflected breakdown in the outro, 'More Than Money' lands as one of The Vices' less memorable tracks. 9. 'No Sharing' feat. Luh Tyler In something of a cross-generational collaboration, Tiller (32) and Luh Tyler (19) decide they're not sharing their ladies with anyone else in the world, which means they're also not sharing their cash with random hangers-on who are simply distractions. 'Ghost these hoes, I told you I won't embarrass/ I'ma show these hoes exactly who I cherish,' Tiller proclaims in the chorus. Marriage pops up in both Tiller and Tyler's verses — a continuation of the exaltation of monogamy that anchored Tiller's last LP and a commendable take in a contemporary cultural landscape that isn't particularly enthralled with that kind of talk. 8. 'Money Shower Interlude' The album's lone interlude, 'Money Shower' soundtracks the culmination of Tiller's compounding vices (greed and lust) at the storied portal of temptation that is the strip club. He smartly takes advantage of the song's brevity to drop listeners in the middle of the action, conjuring up an Anora-esque scene with lines like, 'N—as can't bеlieve it wherе I found you/ But I found you/ She's more than a dancer, at least in my eyes.' By the interlude's end, Tiller begins riffing in a slightly morose tone, a chilling reminder that this isn't him reveling in the moment. Our guy is coping and buying time, until he can address the woman he truly wants to be with. 7. 'On the Way' Kicking off the project with a sexy drill vibe and an acknowledgement of his growth ('I came a long way from the toxic boy, you dig?'), 'On the Way' is an incredibly effective opener. There's an urgency to Tiller's delivery that suggests he's trying (and somewhat failing) to outrun his vices, or at least their impact. 'I'm on the edge, hangin' on barely, just don't push me now/ Hangin' on threads, baby, just let me drop, don't cut me down/ I'm on the edge, yeah, I took and I fled the country now,' he spits in the final chorus. Notably, 'On the Way' opens with lyrics lifted from Chris Brown's 'Ain't No Way (You Won't Love Me),' a track from his 2005 debut studio album — a sweet nod to his frequent collaborator and current tour mate. 6. 'Finished' A high-energy closer, 'Finished' returns Tiller to the sonic space of 'On the Way,' with the skeleton of a sexy drill beat. Here, Tiller is talking cash s—t and fully standing in the impact and longevity of his career and music. It's a particularly stunning moment for those of us who witnessed both the pushback Trapsoul received from certain R&B circles when it first dropped, and the enduring legacy the record carved out for itself. 'Hate when these lames come for a n—a/ I'm goin' on a whole new run/ They try and trick me out my spot/ I be done with this s–t when I'm done,' he proclaims. Although he hasn't shied away from announcing musical hiatuses and taking lengthy breaks between releases, Tiller is clearly far from 'finished.' 5. 'Cut Ties' feat. Bossman Dlow A more melodic track than most of the offerings on Vices, 'Cut Ties' covers exactly what its title suggests: Tiller's commitment to cutting off those who don't align with his program. Stacked with some of the best scene-setting and storytelling on the album — 'Does shawty see me under the bright lights? 'Cause I/ Told the bottle girls put my name up on the sign/ Case shawty think that I'm hurtin', I'm just fine' — 'Cut Ties' gives context to Tiller's emotions and reactions that subsequently add more nuance to the muted pain that courses through the track. Bossma Dlow, one of rap's biggest breakout stars of 2024, stops by for a brief guest verse that unfortunately doesn't add much to the song. Thankfully, it doesn't detract from it either; his verse simply feels like it could have been replaced by a stronger, more engaging bridge from Tiller. 4. 'First Place' Built on a swirling amalgam of Nintendo sound effects, nods to new jazz and ricocheting snares, 'First Place' sets into motion the triumphant energy Tiller taps into across the album. Through slick references to past albums ('Ask who made me, I made me'), Tiller packages reflections on past doubters with celebrations of his present success, always keeping in mind that he's running a race that his opps simply aren't up for. 'If anybody deserve this s–t, it's us, boy/ I ain't too good, come sit with us, boy/ I show you how to run s—t up, boy/ F—k the 9-5s and buses, boy,' he bitingly declares in the chorus. 3. 'Burnout' feat. Bun B For the album's final foray into Southern hip-hop, Tiller brings us to Houston by way of a chopped-n-screwed opening verse that details his exhaustion with the back-and-forth and uncertainty surrounding the stability of his romance. 'And I'm tired of bein' singled out, but/ Maybe bein' singled out is what I'm needin' now, uh/ I'm too quick to beat around the bush when we go out, uh/ Think I'd rather be around her than be without her,' he wonders. Lone Star legend Bun B pops in for a generation-bridging verse that casts him as the resident old head, confirming that Tiller should absolutely lock down the woman he wants to spend his life with. He doesn't give explicit directions, but his dedications to his own lover ('Man, she know she the one for me, and I know she the one too/ When walls start to closin' in, you the one I run to') provide a winning example for Tiller to follow. Tiller's biggest strength as a songwriter has always been how disarmingly honest he gets, regardless of how crazy he makes his characters, himself always included, look — and that's why 'Burnout' feels so raw and fresh. 2. 'Mini Kelly' feat. Rick Ross Eschewing a proper hook in favor of lush, grandiose strings tailor-made for a Rick Ross feature, 'Mini Kelly' is an easy Vices standout. Named for the Hermès Kelly bag, Tiller and Ross trade stream-of-consciousness verses chiefly concerned with losing love, taking stock of the unseemly ways they cope with that loss, and beginning the journey of winning their lovers back. 'Why'd I try to find solace through my vices when we split?/ Put a shiesty on and try to find my wifey in the strip/ Club, I know that ain't like Bryson, but I had to write that hit/ Turned tricks, lookin' at me like, 'Well, you ain't learn s–t,'' he rhymes in his second verse of the Gravez-produced track, expertly capturing the embarrassment and shame that comes with getting called out for actions that you know are wrong, but simply can't help to take. Ross follows that up with an aspirational verse ('I can never be the biggest if I never try/ We can never get to Venice if we never fly/ I won't get to see the heavens if I never die') that taps into the song's overarching theme of leveling up across all areas of life — from the romantic to the financial. 1. 'Last Call' The third-to-last track on The Vices, 'Last Call,' finds Tiller infusing the yearning of his R&B side with the cadence of his rap side — while still incorporating bits of his now trademark toxicity. 'What it's gon' take just for you to drunk call me?/ What it's gon' take, girl, for you to jump on it?/ Since you Ginuwine, come and ride my pony,' he sings in the chorus, somehow balancing manipulative inclinations with a genuine need for his girl's attention and love, especially in the face of the temptations he battles across the nine previous tracks. Living up to its closing position, 'Last Call' finds Tiller nodding to the things 'his OGs taught him,' in his quest to get back the one woman he truly loves. His earnest tone nicely complements the relatively unfussy beat, which grants the song some emotional depth beyond the simplicity of a final booty call. Armed with the strongest chorus on the album and snap-anchored production from Hitmaka and Nick Papz, 'Last Call' compiles all of the elements that made Tiller one of the leaders of his class of R&B stars.

Gunna's ‘The Last Wun': All 25 Tracks Ranked
Gunna has returned with The Last Wun, a 25-track affair that serves as the follow-up to last year's One of Wun album, and finds Gunna reuniting with producer Turbo. More from Billboard Fans Choose Gunna's 'The Last Wun' as This Week's Favorite New Music Cardi B's 'Outside' Tops Billboard Rhythmic, Rap Airplay Charts Ice Cube Says Donald Trump's ICE Raids in L.A. Are Meant to 'Traumatize' People: 'Nobody's Safe, Man' Though not confirmed, The Last Wun also might serve as an end to Gunna's time on YSL Records. The rapper's relationship with the label, led by Young Thug, has grown publicly complicated following his involvement in the controversial YSL RICO trial. Gunna accepted a plea deal that led to his release, but the move allegedly strained his relationship with Thugga. While neither rapper has commented on the rumored strain, Young Thug has offered a few deleted tweets that gauge his feelings on the matter. As for the cover art, it was an original painting designed by artist DeJardin, who told Rolling Stone the picture was about communicating the rapper's state of mind. 'It was about trying to capture Gunna in his essence of where he is in his life,' DeJardin explained, 'and then adding stylistic elements to it, to represent anger and vengefulness but also represent peace, stability, perseverance, grinding. It's like he's working through his pain and grit, and he has a literal chip on the shoulder as if he's got something to prove right now.' Gunna last earned a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 2022's DS4EVER, but all of his albums have peaked inside the chart's top three, and reached No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart. While it remains to be seen if The Last Wun will do the same, let's dive into the music. Here is Billboard's ranking of every song on Gunna's The Last Wun. 25. 'Podcast' Gunna grumbles his way through 'Podcast': energy-wise, the song dips through the floor, begging the question why Gunna felt a need to crank out 25 songs in the first place. 'Podcast' is another song that feels like it could have been discarded in favor of a little more variety. 24. 'Biting My Game' This song is grating, the melodies repetitive and unremarkable. It's hard to not feel like this song could have been left to cook a little longer. 23. 'Made For This S—t' 'Made For This S—t' feels more like a warm-up than a fully realized track. Gunna raps about how haters shouldn't 'play' with his name, but his laid-back cadence is so nonchalant it almost comes off as indifference, as if he wouldn't mind if people tried him anyway. Thematically, the song doesn't match the vibe Gunna brings, and confuses the listener, who should feel motivated by the track. 22. 'What They Thinking' Slow and uninspired, 'What They Thinking' fails to break any new ground for Gunna. While he leans on the familiar flexing themes that helped solidify his stardom, the energy of the track feels stale, and lacks the vibrancy needed to make it come alive. 21. 'GP' Late-night escapades and sexual 'ecstasy' consume 'GP,' but Gunna sounds sleepy as he reminisces on these endeavors. Wunna weaves in and out of the beat with such a detached nonchalance, as if he's just as bored as we are. 20. 'Many Nights' An introspective and moody opener, 'Many Nights' opts for a more reflective stance. On the track, Gunna reminisces on the struggles he's faced these past few years. 'Life feel like a war, but Lord protectin' my soul,' he raps. The song is soft and subdued, and announces Gunna's arrival with a darker tone than past releases. 19. 'Sakpase' Gunna's 'Sakpase' showcases the rapper's tight, rapid-fire flow, but the energy flatlines about halfway through. Wunna doesn't sound excited to be engaging in the lavish lifestyle he lives, and offers solid motivational gems with a shoulder shrug. 18. 'Just Say Dat' Gunna again slips right back into the vibe that suits him best, tackling a icy-smooth Turbo beat that's become his bread and butter. 'Just Say Dat' comes and goes without much impact, checking all the boxes of a catchy Gunna song without leaving any of his usual earworm residuals. 17. 'On Me' On one of the sole moments of deep personal reflection on The Last Wun, Gunna explores the state of his career, and how he's learned to tap into what really matters. 'These losses startin' to help me see what really matters/These drugs can't even ever help me feel better/I feel better when I'm headlinin' Coachella/ I'm livin' out my dream and it ain't all far fetched.' Hearing Gunna switch up his subject matter for something more substantial is a welcome vibe change. 16. 'Prototype' On 'Protoype,' Wunna dances around some catchy melodies, which is a refreshing change of pace from the rapper's earlier bar-heavy tracks. This is admittedly the first time Gunna sounds awake and alive on the album, and bodes well as listeners enter the meatiest part of The Last Wun. 15. 'Club House' Even though Gunna's 'Club House' offers up some flashy lines like, 'Audemar frost what the car cost, my time can't be bought/B—h skin glossed, her lights off, high expense when she walk/She put a Benz up, pull a Benz off,' the song feels unfinished and rushed. The hook doesn't anchor the track as it needs to, leaving listeners feeling somewhat unfulfilled by the time it wraps up. 14. 'CFWM' Wunna sounds engaged as his Auto-Tuned flow skates in and out of 'CFWM.' With only a few songs left before the album ends, it's refreshing to hear Gunna step into a more energized arena with 'CFWM's' beat. 13. 'Showed 'Em' The Atlanta rapper spits a few incendiary bars aimed at his critics on 'Showed 'Em,' and celebrates the spoils that come with having made it to the other side of his struggles. Other than that, this song doesn't carry much weight thematically. It'll likely satisfy Gunna's day-one fans, but won't win over any new converts. 12. 'F—k Witcha Boy' It's nice to hear Gunna switch his flow up on 'F—k Witcha Boy,' as the Atlanta rapper seems to be having a good time bouncing all over the song. 'I'm pushing and lifting it up, I'm 'bout to cut up this summer/Told her I don't want no rice when I eat Benihanas.' Good to know, Gunna! 11. 'Him All Along' While Gunna flexes his status as the one with the sauce on 'Him All Along,' the track ends far too quickly to feel like a satisfying album closer. Though it offers some nice melodic moments fueled by Wunna's polished voice, the song comes across as more of an afterthought, feeling like an unnecessary add-on to the project rather than a definitive conclusion. 10. 'At My Purest' (Feat. Offset) Gunna and Offset explore the spoils of fame on 'At My Purest' with a splash of paranoia, as both rappers admit that the rock-star lifestyle might not be suited for everyone. 'L.A. estate behind the gate, don't let 'em know my addy,' Gunna murmurs, encapsulating the tension between luxury and mistrust. However, Offset and Gunna don't complement each other as well as they should. With Offset adopting Gunna's flow instead of sticking to his own cadence, the chemistry between the duo doesn't pop out of the song as much as it should. Their dynamic, as a result, struggles to shine, causing 'At My Purest' to feel less impactful than it could have been. 9. 'Satisfaction' (feat. Asake) Asake feels disappointingly underutilized on 'Satisfaction,' as his verse seems to come and go as wistfully as a gentle breeze. While Gunna sounds right at home over the song's familiar slow-burn trap background, there's no denying an Asake feature should have taken this track to exciting new heights. 8. 'Endless' Braggadocious and rambunctious, Gunna does his thing on 'Endless' as he just spits facts about his lifestyle as a famous rapper. 'Wunna the illest (Illest)/Money, I wanna print it (Money)/This s—t endless,' he raps in a way where I can picture him with a sly grin. 7. 'Again' Buoyancy is Gunna's best friend on 'Again,' as the rapper yearns for his love over some sleek piano chords and thumping 808s. His spitfire flow sounds invigorated as he bounces around 'Again' with a bit more urgency than previous songs on the album. It's nice to hear he can still have a good time when the circumstances are just right. 6. 'WGFT' (Feat. Burna Boy) While Burna Boy has delivered stronger verses in the past, the Afro-fusion star effortlessly outshines Gunna on 'WGFT.' With his signature suave sophistication, Burna brings a refreshing energy to the track, though his verse feels disappointingly brief. Nonetheless, his contribution injects a much-needed dose of Afro flair, offering a dynamic and welcomed shift within Gunna's sonic landscape. 5. 'I Can't Feel My Face' (Feat. Nechie) Nechie and Gunna trade bars with ease on 'I Can't Feel My Face,' and feels almost like a torch is being passed to the former. Nechie feels a bit looser and more freeform on the beat than Gunna, offering his own distinct interpretation of the laid-back cadence that has become a hallmark of Atlanta rap. 4. 'Rare Occasion' 'Rare Occasion' sees Gunna fully in his element, delivering his signature quippy cadence while rapping about the trappings of wealth and fame. True to its title, it's a 'rare occasion' to catch Gunna outside, but this track effortlessly captures that vibe we all know and love from the Atlanta rapper. 3. 'Let That Sink In' Gunna and Turbo hit the cruise control button with 'Let That Sink In,' a smooth, relaxed track that hits all the correct points of a good Gunna song. Better songs await on the project, but 'Let That Sink In' serves as a nice re-introduction to the vibe Gunna has mastered at this point in his career. 2. 'Forever Be Mine' (Feat. Wizkid) Gunna and Wizkid sound amazing together on 'Forever Be Mine,' even if Wiz's verse feels a little half-baked. The YSL signee brings Wizkid deep into his world, and forces him to adapt to the slow, moody trap energy that drives the track. Hearing Wiz step outside his comfort zone into Gunna's atmospheric trap world is exciting, but Wiz disappears into the song's fog, with Gunna still doing most of the legwork on the latter half. 1. 'Won't Stop' The lead single off Gunna's The Last Wun is far and away the best song on the album. Anchored by a catchy hook, flashy wordplay and a hard-hitting beat, it's no surprise that Gunna is putting so much energy behind this track. With its infectious energy and polished execution, it's clear why this song is getting the spotlight.
