JYP Entertainment ends contract with KG, rebrands VCHA as Girlset
Split follows months of dispute after KG's allegations of abuse, unhealthy work environment JYP Entertainment said Friday it has terminated its exclusive contract with American singer KG, who was a member of the agency's first global girl group VCHA — just a day after announcing the group's rebrand as Girlset. 'JYP America and KG Crown have mutually agreed to part ways as she concludes her journey with VCHA. Both parties sincerely wish each other all the best in their future endeavors,' JYP Entertainment said in a statement. JYP America is the North American branch of the K-pop powerhouse. On Thursday, the agency announced via social media that the multinational girl group would retire its previous name, VCHA, and continue its activities under the new name Girlset. KG left the group last year after alleging abuse by a JYP Entertainment staff member. The 17-year-old singer shared her grievances on Instagram in December, citing disapproval of 'the working conditions that led a member to attempt suicide.' 'Nor do I support an environment that encourages eating disorders and has caused members to self-harm,' she wrote. 'I do not blame anyone for the treatment endured, but feel this is an issue that lies deeply embedded in the K-pop industry.' The following day, JYP America said it would take strong action in response to KG's departure. The singer later filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging workplace mistreatment. 'We deeply regret KG's decision to file a lawsuit and make unilateral public statements containing false and exaggerated claims,' JYP USA said at the time. 'This action has caused significant harm to other members of VCHA and JYP USA, who have been working diligently on their upcoming album and projects for early 2025.' VCHA was formed as a joint project between JYP Entertainment and US music giant Republic Records, consisting of six finalists from 'A2K' (America2Korea), a girl group audition program run by the two companies from July to September 2023.

CGTN: Why Chinese film Dead to Rights topped global weekend box office
BEIJING, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese film Dead to Rights has been maintaining its top position on China's weekend box office since its premiere on July 25th. That also made it the No. 1 watched film globally over the just past weekend. According to popular Chinese film industry tracker Maoyan, by Tuesday the film has raked in 1.7 billion Yuan, or about 236.6 million dollars. The film now holds an 8.6 rating on Chinese review platform Douban and has been reviewed or reported by international press like "Variety", Channel News Asia, among others. The film is set against the backdrop of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre and follows the life of a group of Chinese civilians who seek refuge in a photography studio. While bidding for survival, they assisted a Japanese military photographer to develop films, only to uncover graphic images of the atrocities. They risked their lives to preserve the evidence. The film's massive success should, of course, be first attributed to its powerful storytelling and artistic execution. Director Shen Ao has avoided sensationalism, using only minimalistic visuals to convey horror, for example, a knife held to a baby or rivers of bloodshed. In this way, emotional depth and authenticity have been created. The film's layered storytelling and polished production design also present viewers with unraveled technical craftsmanship. Movie goers are drawn to the cinema for Dead to Rights also because, fundamentally, the movie has done justice to history. Evan Kail, an American who donated a photo album of Japanese war crimes to China, said the film is a "ten out of ten" that keeps history alive, honors the victims and exposes the past against all odds. Remembering the past is not to stir or preserve hatred; rather, it is to remind us to cherish modern peace. Increasing Yasukuni Shrine visits and wartime denial by some Japanese rightists these days are risking Asia's or even the world's stability. By preserving evidence on screen, films like Dead to Rights counter Japan's historical amnesia and expose the truth that must be held and told. The movie is slated to premiere globally in places like Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, among others. With over 35 million military and civilian casualties combined, China was a vital, but often forgotten, member of the Allies battling Japan during WWII. As both a universal call to peace and a truthful reflection on history, the film Dead to Rights deserves the time and attention of global viewers.

Do unborn babies need names? In Korea, absolutely
Korean babies have a womb-time nickname, some as hilariously adorable as 'Poop' Lee, a mother of two daughters, often calls her eldest 'poop,' a nickname she gave to her from when she was in the womb. 'I just thought it was cute. 'Ddong' (meaning poop in Korean) sounds funny, and for some reason, it felt perfect for this little creature tumbling around in my belly,' Lee told The Korea Herald. Lee isn't the only one who thinks poop makes a cute "taemyeong," a womb-time nickname that literally means "fetus name." It's actually quite popular among many Korean moms-to-be. Rapper Truedy, best known as the winner of Mnet's hit female rapper competition "Unpretty Rapstar 2," recently shared on Instagram that she was expecting her first child, and that she's given the baby the taemyeong 'geum-ddong,' meaning 'golden poop.' Comedian Hong Hyun-hee also dubbed her now 2-year-old son "ddong-byeol," a mashup of the Korean words for poop and star. Besides poop, Korean prenatal nicknames come in all shapes and flavors. Food-inspired nicknames are common, reflecting mother's favorite cravings while expecting, like watermelon or strawberry. Others may seem like ordinary foods or vegetables, but they carry warm wishes for the baby's health. For example, chaltteok (sticky rice cake) reflects the hope that the baby will stay safely in the womb and not be miscarried. Yeolmu, which literally refers to a young radish, carries a wish for an smooth, uneventful 10-month pregnancy, as "yeol" sounds the same with the number 10 and mu is associated with zero. Emotional bridge for prenatal education The widespread use of fetal names is also linked to a Korean culture that emphasizes prenatal education, known as taegyo, and the importance of building a bond between parents and their unborn babies from early on. While its educational effects haven't been scientifically proven, taegyo is very much a thing in Korea and goes far beyond simply reading stories, listening to music or speaking softly to the unborn baby. It is also common for expectant moms to keep pregnancy journals, addressing their unborn babies by name and already nurturning emotional attachment to them, even before birth. Meanwhile, to some foreign parents, giving a taemyeong feels like a thoughtful step before choosing the baby's real name. Sean Beaudette, an American father who once called his now 6-month-old daughter mandu (Korean-style dumpling) while she was still in his Korean wife's womb, said, 'Parents have to wait 10 months to meet their child, so they might change their minds if they choose a name too early. They could also realize the name doesn't match the baby once they're born. The taemyeong is a handy nickname that works as a placeholder until the child arrives.' Watching the baby stick to the side of the womb during an ultrasound scan, he was instantly reminded of a potsticker in a TGI Fridays commercial he had seen during his college days, leading to the nickname mandu. Korean babies having a womb-time name has a practical reason as well. Under current law, parents in Korea are required to register their baby's birth within 30 days, either online or at a local district office. That's quite different from the US and some other countries, where parents usually fill out the birth certificate at the hospital shortly after delivery, often requiring them to decide on a legal name in advance. In Korea, the 30-day window gives parents time to ponder on the baby's official name after birth. It's not uncommon for new parents to take a couple of weeks to make the final decision. Until then, having a taemyung to call the baby by comes in handy. If you're a foreign visitor in a Korean maternity ward, you might be surprised to see newborns swaddled in blankets wearing name tags that sound more like jokes than real names.
