TWICE's Sana Finally Breaks Silence On Dating Rumours With G-Dragon: ‘I Am Just Happy…'
Earlier this year, G-Dragon and TWICE's Sana became the centre of dating rumours. The speculation started when the Heartbreaker singer attended a Coldplay concert in South Korea, where TWICE appeared as guest artists, and tagged only Sana in a social media post. This caught fans' attention, especially as it happened just weeks before G-Dragon was set to appear on Sana's Fridge Interview.
When the episode aired, his agency clarified that the tag was purely friendly. While Sana remained silent throughout, she finally addressed the dating rumours during the show's season finale, giving fans the clarity they had been waiting for.
Sana Recalls Sudden Meet Up And Dating Speculations:
Talking about the episode, Sana shared that the day felt special and turned into a nice memory for her. She explained that it all happened very suddenly, almost like an unplanned get-together where everyone just decided to meet at the same time. According to her, it was only because of the Fridge Interview that they ended up spending time together, and without the show, they would have never met.
Speaking about the dating rumours, Sana added, 'I don't know if I should say this but my account showed up in the story. After that went up, the members knew he had been on my show. But it was only a few days after we filmed. I was like, 'Ahh, I can't even say anything here.' That he was on the Fridge Interview. I really want to say, but still, I had to wait and it finally aired like a month later. It was like that, but I'm just happy we got to show everyone a new kind of lineup."
Galaxy Corporation Explains Why Tagging Happened:
After G-Dragon's appearance on Sana's Fridge Interview, his agency, Galaxy Corporation, issued a statement addressing the dating rumours with Sana. As per Soompi, they explained, 'G-Dragon filmed the YouTube web variety show Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview on April 14, which was the day after the final broadcast of MBC's Good Day. Later, on April 22, G-Dragon attended the Coldplay concert in Korea and posted a photo from the event. During this time, TWICE performed as special guests, and since it was not long after the filming, he simply tagged Sana's personal social media account as a friendly gesture following their shoot together."
'Fridge Interview was filmed due to G-Dragon's friendship with Dex, and Sana's appearance was confirmed the day before filming. The reason we did not address the dating rumours earlier was because we were concerned it might spoil G-Dragon's appearance on Fridge Interview," the agency added.
TWICE is currently on their This Is For world tour, and on August 2, the group became the first K-pop girl group to headline the Lollapalooza Chicago music festival.

BLACKPINK's Lisa deals with loss of Kentaro Sakaguchi in heartbreaking Dream music video, watch
BLACKPINK's Lisa may as well be the next top K-pop idol-turned-actress in town! In a new short film music video for her solo track Dream, the singer has brought in Japanese star Kentaro Sakaguchi in an unusual but interesting blend of cultures and languages. The song, sung entirely in English, starring a Thai singer and a Japanese actor, had dialogues in Korean, making for one of the most amazing amalgamations on screen. The contents of the 5 minutes 8 seconds short film were, in contrast, more harrowing than one would expect. What is Lisa's Dream music video about? The story starts off as Lisa sits in a church, dressed in black clothes, looking solemn. The scene pans to a screen with the actor lying down inside a coffin, his couple ring still on his finger. As the BLACKPINK member sings of heartbreak and recalls a 'night in Tokyo when it ended', signalling a painful break-up, the scene moves to one where they're traveling in a car. Happiness slipping from their lips, the 28-year-old star can be seen reminiscing about their dating era, where they confirmed their feelings for each other, exchanging rings. As their car ride ends, so do their happy times. The screen changes to that of her rowing a boat in a lonely lake. A moment from their past turns up from their kitchen where the couple exchanges sweet dialogues to each other in Korean and Japanese. She asks what he'd like to be in his next life, and while he ponders, wonders about her own choice. 'A tree', she says, and right then he reveals how he'd be the lake reflecting the very tree she grows into, symbolizing their deep running love for each other. The brief moment is soon broken into the scene where she's rowing all alone as he's gone. The short film ends with her spreading his ashes into the lake as the words, 'Can we be friends at least?' play in the back.

Netflix to release decade-old K-drama that got its lead actor banned after massive popularity sparked messy court battle
Netflix has reportedly secured the rights to re-release Park Shin Yang and Kim Ok Vin's 2007 SBS K-drama that smashed records for the network at the time. Based on a webtoon, the series earned legendary status as one of the earliest to throw a spotlight on South Korea's brutal loan shark culture. Originally set for a shorter run, it was extended from May 16 to July 19 due to overwhelming fan demand. If you haven't caught on yet, keep reading. According to a Nate News update, the OTT platform is set to drop the K-drama War of Money, also known as Money's Warfare, in a restored high-definition format, almost two decades after its debut. Originally titled Jjeonui Jeonjaeng, the drama pulled in ratings that soared past the 36% mark, a rare feat then and even now. Officially recognised by the Financial Supervisory Service, it left a lasting mark on both the public and the entertainment industry with its unflinching portrayal of Korea's loan shark underworld. Also read: Taylor Swift says Travis Kelce served her 'chest hair' on baked bread; singer admits, 'his loaf tasted better than mine' Planned as a 16-episode run, the show's runaway popularity forced the directors to stretch it to 20 episodes plus a bonus, peaking at 36.3%. It set a benchmark in an industry dominated by soft-tone rom-coms, proving that fierce, gritty themes could bring massive audiences. While it's been streaming around a few domestic OTT platforms, this marks its first-ever global release on Netflix, part of the streamer's plan to expand its K-drama library, owing to the genre's sky-high viewership. While the show was a hit, it somehow led to its star Park Shin Yang, getting banned. When the actor first signed on for the drama, he was paid ₩45 million for each of the first 16 episodes. However, later, the director decided to make 4 more episodes, and by that time, the show had already gone viral, so Park hiked his fee and negotiated for ₩170 million per episode. The producers agreed at first, but later changed their minds, accusing Park of taking advantage. The actor then dragged everyone to court, and the court ruled in his favour. But it was after that that the Corea Drama Production Association (CODA) banned Park from appearing in any dramas made by its members. They claimed his high pay was more than what some production companies earned from broadcasters and said it was damaging to the industry. Fans around the world, about 5,600 of them, signed a petition against the ban. After being off TV for three years, Park was finally allowed to return in 2011.

But his life slams into its biggest wall when he's forced to face his father's massive debt, a burden that pushes him to the edge, nearly ready to end it all as loan sharks torture him. The chaos sends his mother into shock, she collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Desperate, Na Ra applies for a bank loan, but no one will touch him. His jealous boss sees the opportunity and twists the knife by firing him. Unable to pay the hospital fees, his mother dies. His sister is forced into a salon job, and Na Ra himself has to break up with his girlfriend in exchange for cash from Cha Yeon's disapproving grandmother, Madam Bong. Convinced now that everything bad in his life is happening because of money, Na Ra begins to see it as his greatest enemy, and to beat the enemy, he decides to become one. He soon jumps into the loan shark business, learning the strategies, secrets, and cutthroat philosophies of the trade, eventually locking horns with the top sharks in the business. While the drama also carries romantic threads for the star, its core stays locked on the dark, twisted turns of Na Ra's rise in the underworld.
