Remember Juice Seyeon, influencer spotted with Bang Si Hyuk in LA? Her shocking income revealed amid HYBE trade drama
Remember Juice Seyeon? The influencer and streamer who caused a stir after being photographed walking with HYBE founder Bang Si-hyuk in Los Angeles is back in the spotlight. At the time, the viral image - showing her crossing the street with her sister and the music mogul - set off a storm of speculation. Seyeon later clarified that the meeting wasn't random; Bang had simply helped them get into the exclusive Nobu restaurant. Now, almost a year later, she's making headlines again - not for who she was seen with, but for revealing her jaw-dropping income. Juice Seyeon's shocking income revealed She once again found herself in the spotlight on July 16, appearing on the "Goddess Edition" of Pajama Party, a popular YouTube talk show by Ige Jinjja Choejong. Joined by Single's Inferno 4 star Kim Ah-rin, the AfreecaTV streamer opened up in an unfiltered chat about past controversies, plastic surgery rumours, and her staggering earnings. She branded herself the "icon of misunderstandings," and addressed a viral incident involving a fan who claimed to have spent ₩1.6 billion on her. Seyeon clarified that the exact sum ranged from ₩30 to ₩40 million. She claimed that she had blocked the fan due to constant, intrusive texts. Among all the excitement, the biggest surprise occurred when she announced her enormous earnings. Seyeon earned ₩100 million on her birthday and more than ₩400 million in one month. She admitted, however, that such money is not continuous and is heavily dependent on how supportive her supporters are at the moment. Bang Si-hyuk under fire for alleged fraud in HYBE IPO In a separate but equally significant event, South Korean financial regulators have submitted HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk to prosecutors for possible violations of the Capital Markets Act. The case contains claims of deceiving investors before HYBE's IPO and pocketing roughly ₩400 billion (approx. $287.6 million). Following a formal assessment, the Securities and Futures Commission, a division of the Financial Services Commission, reported that Bang and several former HYBE executives had been referred for prosecution. This is a big move for President Lee Jae-myung's administration. Officials claim that Bang understated the company's IPO chances in 2019 in order to coerce early investors into selling their shares. He is also thought to have reached a private arrangement with a large private equity firm, promising a portion of future profits after selling his shareholding. In reaction to the issue, the Korea Exchange toughened IPO due diligence procedures to protect investors. HYBE has since published a statement pledging complete cooperation and a commitment to restoring market confidence.

Lee Min Ho says he's considering marriage at 40 after personal loss: ‘Having a child feels like the most valuable thing
Lee Min Ho might just be ready to say 'I do' as he approaches 40. For years, the K-drama star has reigned as the heartthrob who kept his personal life under wraps. But after the recent loss of his beloved pet, Min Ho opened up about his feelings during the press conference for his upcoming movie Omniscient Reader. He spoke about wanting to get married, though he still sees it as a distant, vague concept. That said, at this point in life, he finds himself thinking about what really matters. In that same breath, he even said he's open to fatherhood, calling it one of the most valuable things. But for him, marriage has to start with falling in love, who it's with doesn't matter. Also read: S Line review: K-Drama that's freaking viewers out with its dark take on shame and surveillance The actor recently shared with fans that he is reeling from the loss of his beloved dog, 'I spent a few days crying for it. I realised how much I relied on him. I have never felt like that before.' During his Seoul conference, Lee said he is at an age where he's thinking, 'I should do it, (marriage)' and admitted, 'As I go through life, I find myself thinking more about what's important.' He said that when he really stops to think about it, building a family and having a kid feels like the most valuable thing to him, according to Chosun Biz. The Heirs star added, 'But it doesn't go as intended. It feels like a miracle needs to happen for that. Marriage still feels vague, but if a moment comes where I instinctively think, 'this is a miracle,' I think I could get married.' Also read: Lee Min Ho admits he 'could fall any moment,' says problems arise from personal desires, pins all hope on Omniscient Reader Lee has previously dated and was in publicly confirmed relationships with his K-drama co-stars, including Park Min Young (What's Wrong with Secretary Kim) and Bae Suzy (While You Were Sleeping). When asked whether he has a high standard which makes it harder to actually take a relationship to the wedding phase, the actor said, 'Personally, my standards for interacting with people and potential partners seem to differ.' Lee explained that he's lived a life where he never really learned how to cherish the little things, moments of quiet joy or simple happiness, probably because he's always been in the spotlight. But that's something he now looks for in a partner. 'I think about sharing life with someone who knows what that kind of happiness feels like, and I wonder what we'd be chasing together, someone who has qualities completely absent from me.' Further, the actor was questioned whether he would consider marrying a celebrity and Lee said, 'Of course, if I love someone, that doesn't matter.' During the same press briefing, Lee Min Ho also spoke about the burden of being a Hallyu star and the pressure that comes with it. Despite having a hard time cracking the OTT space with his recent K-dramas, Lee has continued to be labeled the top Hallyu star for 12 years straight, one of the most popular actors globally. The actor said he never chased stardom and doesn't take anything for granted, knowing well that he 'could fall anytime.' 'It all takes one simple misstep to end everything,' he said. Meanwhile, Omniscient Reader hits screens on July 23. The movie also stars BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Business Proposal lead Ahn Hyo Seop.
