While talking about her entry into acting from singing, the idol shared, 'Debuting (as an idol) is incredibly hectic. You're always going to the countryside, and then you're overseas. So I wanted to act when I could focus. But when I started acting, it was so much fun. I liked being able to express different emotions than I could as a singer'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The actress also talked about the transition between leaving her old company and joining a new one, and that too, only a few days after she wrapped up filming for one of her latest projects.

Labubu loses its sparkle? Inside the rise and crash of a demonic doll due to Lafufus
Once just a doodle in artist Kasing Lung's sketchpad, Labubu morphed into a pastel pop icon. Its freaky-cute grin and pointy ears earned it a blind-box empire, and with Pop Mart's savvy drops, it became emotional currency. Owning a Labubu was not just a flex—it was a full-blown aesthetic. The Labubu era: From sketchbook to status symbol Everyone from Rihanna to Lisa of BLACKPINK flexed their freaky little friends. Telegram groups buzzed with drop alerts. Resellers made stacks. Even the Louvre joined in with museum-only exclusives. But behind the hype, Pop Mart ran a masterclass in curated scarcity, geo-locked releases, chase editions, app-only lotteries. Fans played the game because they had to. Fake Labubus aka Lafufus crash the party Fast-forward to summer 2024: the fantasy cracked wide open. Police in Shanghai raided a fake Labubu ring—over 5,000 bootlegs sold for millions under the radar. Customs officials called them 'Lafufus,' and the knockoffs went viral for all the wrong reasons. This was more than fraud. It was emotional whiplash. Long-time collectors saw their tight-knit community diluted. Resale values plunged. Fans questioned if Pop Mart cared about connection or just data. Even QR tags and authenticity guides could not patch the sinking vibes. Fandom fatigue and the cost of hype What once felt like a movement now feels like a warning sign. Reddit threads read like post-hype group therapy. TikTokers talk about being 'played by plastic.' As the thrill fades, fans are asking: Was it about the dolls or just the drama? Imagine an alternate timeline where Pop Mart doubled down on storytelling, not scarcity. Exclusive lore drops, fan events, lore expansions, Labubu could have been the next Pokémon, not just another TikTok trend with a shelf life. What Labubu's fall says about us Labubu was never just a toy. It was a portal—for Gen Z, for misfits, for anyone craving control in a chaotic world. It dangled prestige for less, letting people hang it off Prada bags and feel part of something. But emotional commerce is fragile, and blind boxes do not build loyalty. Maybe Labubu is not over. Maybe it evolves. But one thing is clear: in 2025, the collectibles that win will not just chase clout—they will build community that lasts longer than a drop window.

Last Updated: BigHit Music's new boy group CORTIS comprises Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon and Keonho. K-pop fans, are you ready? BigHit Music, the agency behind industry bigwigs like BTS and TXT, has just unveiled details about its new group, which is set to make its debut on August 18. The agency not just announced the name of the five-membered group but also released a teaser, hinting at what to expect from the upcoming boy group. On August 7 at midnight KST, BigHit Music revealed that its brand-new boy band, comprising Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon and Keonho, will be called CORTIS. It is the first new group under the label since TXT's debut six years ago. A short clip, which showcased the name of the group written in pink on a laptop screen, unveiled the group's name. They are all set to make their debut on August 18. Moreover, the agency also shared that the group will debut a video on August 10 at midnight KST on its parent company, HYBE Label's official YouTube channel. The video could likely give a hint at their debut music or maybe their overall vibe. Apart from these, BigHit Music revealed that CORTIS now have their official social media profiles on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. Who Are The Members Of BigHit Music's CORTIS? Earlier this year, BigHit Music, a subsidiary of the South Korean entertainment giant HYBE, announced that it would be debuting a new boy group. More recently, they confirmed that the group, named CORTIS, will debut with five members. As reported by Koreaboo, 17-year-old Martin, a Canadian-Korean, is speculated to be the leader of the group. 20-year-old Thai-Chinese descent James is said to be the eldest among the members. The three other members of the group are 17-year-old Juhoon, 16-year-old Seonghyeon, and 16-year-old Keonho, who is the maknae of the group. All three are Koreans. What Are The Roles Of The Members In CORTIS? In a previously released statement by BigHit Music, the agency stated that the quintet will be a 'young creators' crew", where members will be creating their own music, choreography and videos. 'They will express their creative talent based on their own stories. All members will take part in the creative process, regardless of their set positions," said the agency. The band members have previously contributed to BIGHIT's other acts, including TXT. Martin has worked with TXT on Deja Vu, Miracle, and, more recently, on Beautiful Strangers. He has also contributed to ENHYPEN's Outside, LE SSERAFIM's Pierrot, and ILLIT's Magnetic. On the other hand, James has choreographed for TXT and ILLIT.
