Why is BLACKPINK's Rosé being called out for US TV show appearance? Fans express frustration ahead of group world tour
BLACKPINK has generated immense buzz with the announcement of their upcoming world tour, titled DEADLINE. However, the members have been preoccupied with their individual pursuits over the past few months and currently have some solo projects in the pipeline. Recently, Rosé's US show appearance was confirmed, but it sparked debate among fans, with some drawing connections to the broader BLACKPINK dynamic. On May 21, Rosé 's appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show was broadcast. The BLACKPINK member exuded confidence and sass in an oversized blazer paired with formal trousers and a tie. She also took photos with the host and enjoyed herself while discovering her MBTI test results. While many fans delighted in seeing Rosé unwind and have fun without the pressures of work, others voiced discontent regarding her solo endeavors amidst the group's upcoming reunion and comeback plans. With fans eagerly awaiting the group's reunion on stage, they couldn't help but wonder when and how the four members would get together to practice for their world tour. Scheduled to kick off at South Korea's Goyang Stadium on July 5, there's a little over two weeks left for the concert. However, Rosé was busy with his America TV show and Met Gala appearances, with Lisa and Jennie also being part of the latter besides their Coachella gigs. Jisoo was also busy with her brand ambassador commitments and other solo ventures. As it will be BLACKPINK's first group activity following their 2023 Coachella stages and 2022 BORK PINK comeback, the anticipation for a thrilling show is skyhigh. However, the members dedicating a lot of time to their solo careers raised concern regarding them delivering half-hearted acts in the upcoming concerts. While some threw hateful comments at Rosé for her The Kelly Clarkson Show appearance, others defended her saying it was a pre-recorded episode, pointing at her outfit being the same as when she appeared there four months ago.

Barry Keoghan named among celebrities most likely to have mid-life crisis
Actor Barry Keoghan has been ranked the fourth most likely celebrity to have a mid-life crisis, according to a new survey. According to a new analysis, some of the world's most famous faces may be more likely than others to go through one, thanks to personality traits that may make some people more susceptible than others. A new study by social media growth service Views4You has analysed data on crowd-voted MBTI personalities across more than 4,000 celebrities. Beatriz Sirena of Views4You said: "What's particularly interesting about this study is how it reveals that traits that make someone successful in entertainment or sports, like risk-taking, attention-seeking, and high emotional reactivity, are often the same traits that can lead to crisis periods when they face the realities of aging. "The results also show how certain personality traits might predispose celebrities to mid-life crises. The high prevalence of impulsivity, attention-seeking, and dramatic tendencies among the top-ranked celebrities suggests these traits may be key indicators of crisis vulnerability. "What's striking is that we see these patterns across different professions and personality types. Whether in film, music, or sports, certain personality combinations appear to create higher risk regardless of career path." It compared each celebrity's personality traits against 23 characteristics commonly associated with mid-life crises, such as impulsiveness, narcissism, and materialistic tendencies, using data from crowd-voted personality assessments. Scores for individual traits closer to one represent a stronger perceived connection. Lars Ulrich takes the top spot with an index score of 64.11. The research examined each celebrity's MBTI personality type distribution, with Ulrich's ESFP type being particularly prone to impulsive decisions - he scored exceptionally high in materialistic tendencies (0.97) and promiscuity (0.97), along with significant ratings for attention-seeking behaviour (0.93), recklessness (0.91), and alcoholic tendencies (0.91). Quentin Tarantino comes next, with a score of 63.97. His ENTP personality type closely aligns with profiles typically associated with mid-life crisis indicators. The renowned film director shows strong personality patterns linked to impulsivity (0.96), narcissism (0.83), dramatic tendencies (0.84), and attention-seeking behaviour (0.82). Zach Galifianakis places third, scoring 63.21. The actor's personality assessment showed high ratings in impulsivity (0.95) and narcissism (0.85). Interestingly, he scored a perfect 1.0 in inverted stability, a marker of emotional volatility, alongside high indecisiveness (0.82). Barry Keoghan lands the fourth spot, with a 62.93 score. The Irish actor's ESFP personality type mirrors patterns often seen in individuals prone to mid-life crises, displaying strong tendencies toward impulsivity (0.91), attention-seeking (0.91), materialism (0.87), and alcoholic behaviour (0.88). In fifth place is Robbie Williams, with a score of 62.89. The British pop star exhibits strong impulsive tendencies (0.94) alongside alcoholic tendencies (0.89) and attention-seeking (0.86) traits. Williams' unstable personality indicators (0.83) and narcissistic tendencies (0.83) create a profile of someone potentially vulnerable to mid-life identity struggles. Lily Allen is next, scoring 62.81. Her ENFP personality type matches patterns associated with emotional volatility. The British singer-songwriter scored particularly high in impulsivity (0.95), dramatic behaviour (0.92), immaturity (0.91), and alcoholic tendencies (0.83). Rapper Daniel Hernandez, known professionally as 6ix9ine, lands the seventh spot, with a score of 62.80. His personality profile featured high attention-seeking (0.91), materialism (0.92), and promiscuity (0.89), traits that frequently correlate with crisis behaviours. Jamie Campbell-Bower places eighth, scoring 62.27. Unlike others in the top 10, his profile shows different risk factors, including extreme indecisiveness (0.98), low self-worth (0.94), insecurity (0.93), and depression (0.92), which can represent the emotional struggle dimension of mid-life crisis risk. Next is Paris Hilton, with a score of 62. The socialite and entrepreneur shows high scores in materialism (0.91), attention-seeking behaviour (0.9), and promiscuity (0.85). Her ESFP personality type aligns with traits typical of individuals who may struggle with aging and relevance. Tennis champion Novak Djokovic rounds out the top 10, with a score of 61.93. Unlike most others in the top 10, Djokovic showed high scores in identity struggles (0.88), recklessness (0.87), and alcoholic tendencies (0.85). His INFJ personality type was voted by only 32.3 per cent of respondents, suggesting a more complex personality profile than others on the list.

Kim So Hyun admits there was ‘no escaping' from Park Bo Gum after he didn't let her ‘enjoy a meal alone'
Kim So Hyun, Park Bo Gum, and Lee Sang Yi are poised for one of the biggest hits of the season with their upcoming K-drama Good Boy. The promotion for the same is ongoing, and one thing the cast cannot stop talking about is the funny behind-the-scenes moments that always steal the show. This time, So Hyun arrived at a YouTube talk show to put in good words for Good Boy and revealed how being the only female actor on set resulted in her receiving queen treatment from co-stars, to the point her MBTI personality type changed from F to T. The JTBC show follows a group of athletes who once brought national glory to the country. After life-changing incidents force them to give up their sports careers, they join the police force. Sharing a funny story on the show Just an Excuse, Kim So Hyun revealed how, after a year of filming, her bond with the cast has grown. She said they always ate together, no matter the meal. But being an introvert, she sometimes wanted alone time while eating. One time, she rushed to the food truck early, thinking, 'This is my chance to eat alone,' she said, according to KBIZoom. 'It looked empty, and I was ready to enjoy a quiet meal. But just then, I got a text: 'We saved your seat.' I looked around and saw their trays already placed—there was no escape.' Also read: Good Boy Teaser: Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, Lee Sang Yi trade gold for grit in law and order leap The actor, who plays the role of Ji Han Na, a shooting gold medalist whose fall from fame due to a misunderstanding forces her to join the rookie cop program, revealed that her MBTI personality type changed a bit during filming. She usually has an 'F' (meaning she's emotional and makes decisions based on feelings). But while working with Park Bo Gum and Lee Sang Yi, who were both very emotional and thoughtful, she started acting more like a 'T.' 'They were so considerate and emotional that I found myself naturally balancing it out.' Park Bo Gum, on the other hand, also praised So Hyun, saying, 'She was the only woman in our team, but she matched with everyone so well. She never complained and just went along with everything.' The K-drama, mostly action and thriller, will also feature a romantic side between Park Bo Gum's Yoon Dong Ho, a former boxing legend, and Ji Han Na. Also read: 'Park Bo Gum took the blame for me': Staff reveals how Tangerines star saved the day, IU calls him a real-life Gwan Sik Park Bo Gum's gentlemanly behaviour is not hidden from anyone. Earlier, his When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star IU couldn't stop gushing about how Bo Gum was her comfort zone during the entire filming schedule, even calling him a walking green flag and comparing him to his on-screen character, Gwan Sik. 'From our very first scene, I didn't feel a single bit of awkwardness or discomfort. And that was a first for me,' she said while speaking on Piaakia with Lee Dong Jin. Though IU and Bo Gum share a long-standing friendship, she revealed that their bond grew stronger with this show. 'It was like Ae Sun realising she had someone she could lean on. I always felt so relaxed when I looked into his eyes.' Apart from Bo Gum and So Hyun, Good Boy stars Lee Sang Yi as Kim Jong Hyun, a fencing silver medalist, Heo Sung Tae as Go Man Sik, a wrestling bronze medalist and Tae Won Suk plays Shin Jae Hong, a discus throw bronze medalist. The K-drama premieres on May 31st on Amazon Prime Video.

Personality test enters South Korean politics
South Korea's MBTI obsession moves into political arena as candidates tout traits of 'natural-born leaders' The conservative People Power Party incorporated the immensely popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test into its primary for the June 3 presidential election, with several candidates revealing their personality types for the first time during a televised debate held over the weekend. All eight presidential hopefuls vying for the party's nomination were asked to reveal their MBTI types as a way of introducing themselves to viewers, in debates held on Saturday and Sunday. Former People Power Party chief Han Dong-hoon, ex-Labor Minister Kim Moon-soo, Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo and Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bok all claimed their type to be "ENTJ": extroverted, intuitive, thinking and judging. People in this category are often described as "natural leaders" and visionaries. The candidates highlighted their natural leadership capabilities and goal-oriented minds, pledging to stick with and pursue the policy plans they have announced, if elected president. Rep. Na Kyung-won and former lawmaker Yang Hyang-ja described themselves as 'ENFJ,' where "feeling" substitutes for "thinking" in the prior description. This combination is thought to have warm hearts, as 'the protagonist,' 'the giver' or 'the teacher' types. Yang described her personality type as that of a 'warm leader,' saying she shares the same type as former US President Barack Obama, South African activist and former President Nelson Mandela and American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Na, on the other hand, said that ENFJ people have a 'strong sense of responsibility.' North Gyeongsang Province Gov. Lee Cheol-woo said he was 'ESFJ' — "sensing" instead of "intuitive." People with this personality type are described as "caregivers" or "consuls.' Former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo said he took the MBTI test when he was running in the People Power Party primary for the 2022 presidential election, revealing his type as 'ESTJ,' which is believed to be the 'executive' or 'supervisor' type. Despite MBTI being a big trend here, it is rare for politicians here to reveal their MBTI types to the public, or for a political party to incorporate the pseudoscience into major political events such as primaries. Ahead of the 2022 election, Yoon Suk Yeol, who was the conservative party's presidential candidate at the time, stated his MBTI type as 'ENFJ' through a website promoting his policy goals.
