Jessi Responds To Pregnancy Rumors About Herself In The Most Iconic Way

When it comes to K-Pop idols who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, Jessi is definitely at the top of the list. No matter how daring or controversial the topic might be, the idol will always speak her mind and it is definitely unique in the conservative and controlled world of K-Pop.

In particular, Jessi has been extremely honest about the future and what she sees for herself. In the past, Jessi revealed that she wants to have a  family and confessed, “If I have a baby, I will raise it well.” Jessi then went on and expressed that she actually wants to have three kids someday!

Jessi then confessed that while gaining fame and making a lot of money from her thriving career, Jessi admitted those things don’t make her happiest. In fact, all she wants is a family.

"I’ll make a confession here. I made money while making music and gained popularity, but it’s all useless now. I wasn’t happy. Because all I wanted was a family. It’s my dream." — Jessi

Recently, it seems as if people have been looking back on those comments as rumors have been spreading that Jessi is pregnant, and many included a wide range of idols, even mentioning Jay Park who Jessi recently did a TikTok with.




Well, as expected, Jessi had the best response to the rumors when netizens told her about it during a recent Instagram live. After clips were released from the broadcast, Jessi was praised for several reasons.

After revealing that she hadn’t known about Sunmi replacing her on Showterview, the idol shared her support for the new host and shared that, although it might be different, it isn’t always a bad thing. Yet, she honestly shared that it was surprising.

Considering how iconic that response was, it isn’t surprising that her response to the pregnancy rumors was even funnier.

Reading the comments, Jessi already had the funniest facial expressions when she explained, “People saying that I’m pregnant with someone’s baby…”

After explaining the rumors, Jessi then hit back at them saying that they were definitely false, but it seems like the idea isn’t something she is against.

"Shit. I wish I knew if I was- You know what, I told you guys I want a baby." — Jessi

When the clip was posted on social media, netizens couldn’t get over how unfiltered the idol was. Although she denied the rumors, saying she wanted a baby was just unexpected and proves that nobody can control what she says.

Yet, it isn’t the first time Jessi has been an unbothered queen when speaking about more sensitive topics. In the past, hosts have pointed out that P NATION CEO PSY hasn’t always liked the way she’s dressed, which is more sexy and provocative than most idols.

During one interview, Of course, being Jessi, she had the best reaction to this and just said, “I don’t really care.”

Since debuting, Jessi has definitely proved that she doesn’t play by the rules of the K-Pop industry. Whenever rumors arise, most agencies will issue a statement, yet Jessi chose to do it herself in the funniest way and make netizens LOL.

BIBI Handles Wardrobe Malfunction At The Seoul 2022 WATERBOMB Festival Like The Boss She Is

As always, solo artist BIBI (short for nakedbibi) is proving to be a superstar performer!

Over the weekend, Seoul’s annual WATERBOMB Festival returned for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic with an amazing star-studded lineup, including BIBI.

The fun summer festival lives up to its name as water cannons are used to douse the artists and the audience in water. Along with performing, the artists get into an epic water battle, often resulting in sexy performances, especially as performers opt to wear swimwear on stage.

And with an 18+ crowd, anything can happen that may not under usual circumstances. For example, K-Pop girl group (G)I-DLE performed an explicit version of their hit song “TOMBOY!”




As for BIBI, her performance became slightly explicit but for different reasons. Originally, BIBI performed in a white T-shirt and denim shorts. Even in a casual look, she looked stunning!

Yet, in mid-performance of “Cigarette and Condom,” she stripped down to something sexier. BIBI removed her T-shirt, revealing a gold bikini top.

After taking off her shirt, BIBI realized that the top strap of her bikini had come undone. She almost lived up to her original name, “nakedbibi!”

So, BIBI quickly held onto the top before she accidentally flashed the audience. And, she was making her way off stage to fix it…

…when she noticed one of her backup dancers to the side! She ran over to him, and soon enough, she had staff to her rescue too.

After getting the top properly secured, BIBI continued the performance like nothing had ever happened. She’s a true professional.

In fact, she came back from it better than ever!

BIBI has a reputation for her sexy performances and fan service, especially at festivals. Previously, she went viral for kissing a fan at Head In The Clouds 2021 (HITC) and giving a fan a lap dance at Korea University‘s 2022 KUrescendo Festival.

HYBE Firmly Shuts Down BTS RM’s Marriage Rumors

BTS‘s RM had been surrounded with marriage rumors recently when a YouTube channel infamous for posting celebrity gossip reported that RM was in preparation for marriage. The account, Sojang, had reported that they had been tipped off by a Korean-American community post. The post claimed that someone they knew had been personally told about the impending marriage by the supposed bride-to-be.




Viewers and Sojang believed the community to be credible as only elite housewives with a Korean-American background could register. Sojang had also previously reported about an alleged girlfriend after a few coincidental posts on Instagram. The lady in question had been at the same museum RM took a private tour at and more. These rumors had been shut down twice, once by RM and once by HYBE.

As the marriage rumors stirred up controversy once again, HYBE swiftly shut down the claims. On June 24, 2022, HYBE stated to the media that the rumors were not true.

"RM’s marriage rumors are not true. We are currently taking swift action against malicious rumors started on YouTube." — HYBE

BTS’s Jin Has The Funniest Response To Jungkook’s New Weight Loss Workout Routine

When it comes to the members of BTS, not only are they all extremely talented and good-looking, but their physiques and bodies are always being praised by ARMYs.

One member who has particularly gained praise for his physique is the youngest member Jungkook. Over the years, the idol has wowed ARMYs with his stunning proportions and even flashed a bit of skin during recent shows.

Yet, it isn’t down to just luck because Jungkook has proved that he’s constantly been putting in the hard work, whether it’s going to the gym or showcasing his boxing skills.

During a past live stream, a fan asked him how to lose weight and he responded with a morning workout routine that requires no equipment — just some motivation!




He went through each step, explaining which exercises to do and how many sets and reps, and it definitely seemed like a true workout.

"As soon as you wake up, just do a 100 squats. 30 reps of an ab workout. 2 sets of 20 lunges. 1 minute of a normal plank, then side planks for 1 minute on each side. Then, wrap it up with 15 burpees!"— Jungkook

Jungkook then made ARMYs laugh as he described it as “easy.” For many fans watching, it was definitely far from the case as he started listing all the exercises.

"Losing weight is easy, right?"— Jungkook

Well, if ARMYs thought it was a tough workout, someone else has recently reacted to the regime, and it’s none other than BTS’s oldest member Jin.

On June 17 (KST), Jin went on Weverse and started replying to some fans about everything from his new obsession and even praising a lucky ARMY. One ARMY, in particular, shared the entire workout from Jungkook with the question, “Possible?” with a post titled “Jeon Jungkook’s Hell Workout.”

"‘Jeon Jungkook’s Hell Workout (Diet Ver.) 100 squats 30 mins ab workout 20 lunges/leg, 2 sets 1 min regular plank / 1 min right side / 1 min left side 15 burpees’"

As expected from oldest member Jin, he had the funniest response to the workout and seemed to have the same motivation as Jungkook but the same attitude as ARMYs.

"Possible but you’re gonna be suffering in bed for a week afterwards."

In the new video, Charlie Puth asks Jungkook to try singing various lines of the song before they eventually unveil a snippet of the completed version. Charlie Puth then declares, “This is going to be crazy.”

The American singer also teased in the caption, “If we get 500,000 pre-saves, I’ll drop it on June 24.”

It seems safe to say that Charlie Puth and Jungkook’s new song “Left and Right” will drop on June 24!

Ji Sung, Seo Ji Hye, Lee Soo Kyung, And More Captivate At Script Reading For New Mystery Drama “Adamas”

tvN’s upcoming drama “Adamas” shared photos from the drama’s script reading!

“Adamas” depicts the story of twin brothers uncovering the truth from an incident 22 years ago. The two will work as one in order to clear the murder charges of their biological father who was accused of killing their stepfather and to find the ‘adamas’ that is the evidence for the murder.

Photos from the script reading confirmed the final cast lineup including Ji Sung, Seo Ji Hye, Lee Soo Kyung, Heo Sung Tae, and Oh Dae Hwan. Director Park Seung Woo and scriptwriter Choi Tae Kang were also present at the reading as the leading actors showcased impressive chemistry from the get-go, realistically portraying their characters’ emotions and stories.




Ji Sung will be playing both twins named Ha Woo Shin and Song Soo Hyun. Ha Woo Shin is a best-selling mystery novel author, while Song Soo Hyun is a special forces prosecutor who works at the Central District Prosecutor’s office. Although the two brothers look alike, their personalities and approaches to tackling problems are completely different. With his detailed acting, Ji Sung meticulously differentiated the two characters.

Seo Ji Hye will take on the role of Eun Hye Soo, the daughter-in-law of Haesong Group who has mysterious and elegant beauty as well as dignified charisma. The actress flawlessly immersed herself into the role, becoming one with her character.

Lee Soo Kyung will transform into Kim Seo Hee, a social affairs reporter at TNC. Lee Soo Kyung charmingly portrayed Kim Seo Hee’s sense of righteousness while understanding her character’s dual nature of also being someone with deep wounds on the inside.

Heo Sung Tae will play Choi Tae Sung who is the general security manager for Haesongwon, the residence of Haesong Group’s chairman, while Oh Dae Hwan will take on the role of Team Leader Lee, the head of Haesong Group’s secret organization Team A. The two captivated the set with their charisma, making the story more tense and interesting.

The production team shared, “We feel reassured by the actors who showcased great teamwork. We think we will be able to greet viewers with these actors through an interesting project. Everyone is working hard to do their best, so please look forward to ‘Adamas.'”

BTS Finally Return To Music Shows And Unsurprisingly Steal ARMYs’ Hearts With Their “M Countdown” Performances

BTS recently had their comeback with the album PROOF, and so many things made ARMYs excited about this comeback. One of those was that after two years, the group was going to be making a comeback to music shows to promote their tracks from the album in front of Korean fans.

After a long wait, BTS finally made their return to music shows to promote their title track “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)” and “For Youth” on M Countdown. 

When it came to the day of the broadcast, Mnet got fans excited by posting the standard idol images of BTS that all artists have before a performance. In the images, the group had two contrasting outfits for the two performances but looked just as good.

The caption of the tweet was also as cute, as the group shared a heartfelt message to ARMY, which seemed even more significant considering everything that has happened over the past few days.

"Our pride, the world’s pride, the universe’s pride
When we’re together, a miracle happens like a desert turning to sea
I will make it short…
AFBF (ARMY Forever BTS Forever) BAHO (BTS has to be Always Happy Okay?) AAHO (ARMY has to be Always Happy Okay?).  I purple you.
#BTS #YetToCome #MustWatchMcountdownLive"

Then came the promos throughout the show, and it was easy to see why Mnet was making such a big deal of the performance because it was such a special moment for both the group and ARMYs worldwide.




Of course, when it came to the performance, it was unlike anything anyone had seen. Due to only attending a few music shows, BTS performed in an arena to allow as many ARMYs to watch them.

The sound that came from the fans when BTS appeared was phenomenal, and it was even more touching to see the faces of the members when they saw all the ARMYs waiting for them with their lightsticks.

Their track “For Youth” was the first track they performed and from the minute the members started performing, ARMYs worldwide were transported to a BTS concert. Of course, their visuals were second to none. But each of the members’ performance and vocals was truly spectacular and showcased their true talent.

The members then moved to the center of the stage. As the song reached the crescendo, the lights, staging, and atmosphere all seemed to perfectly join together and create something magical.

Like every music show performance, the track ended with an ending fairy. Or, in this case, seven very handsome ending fairies. All of the members seemed naturally overwhelmed by the performance, whether it was the song itself or seeing ARMYs sway along to the track.

The group’s next song was their title track, “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment).” Although K-ARMY had warned that Suga was starting on the piano, it didn’t prepare everyone watching for the beautiful sound the group’s rapper created. With the dim lights and strong atmosphere, it felt like something out of a movie.

What stood out the most because of the size of the venue was just how beautiful the sea of ARMY Bombs looked. They were all programmed to flash and change colors at the same time. It was definitely a sight to behold.

Seeing so many fans must’ve been overwhelming for the group but they continued to showcase their true talent throughout the nostalgic and emotional track. Despite having no choreography, their stage presence was out of this world and hard to compete with, and it allowed their vocals to shine.

If the ending fairies for “For Youth” were nostalgic, the members seemed to find their groove for their title track and embraced the chaos that idols have created.

Jimin, J-Hope, and Jungkook started off cute, followed by RM, who got seemingly embarrassed by his closeup. It ended with V, Suga, and Jin having some fun with their poses, whether it was heavy breathing, acting cool, and even some aegyo.

In the end, it was even more exciting for BTS and ARMYs as the group got their second win for “Yet To Come (The Most Beautiful Moment)”.

With two more music shows to come, ARMYs will undoubtedly be hoping to keep getting wins for BTS and the group will continue to provide amazing performances that capture the hearts of everyone watching.
