Recently, some netizens have been suggesting that compared to her fellow group member Na-yeon's solo debut, Jihyo's debut work hasn't received as much response. They posted a discussion titled "Is the company being too unfair to Jihyo?" which quickly became a hot topic on Korean internet forums as soon as it was published.

The original posting stated that they were quite looking forward to Jisoo's solo debut, but after the album was released, there was a significant disparity in the reaction compared to last year's solo debut of group member Nayeon. They even exclaimed, "The comparison between the two is too obvious."

The original poster believes that Nayeon's songs and dance arrangements are very special, thus becoming a hot topic among the public. Even before the song was released, the costumes in the trailer alone attracted the public's attention, it's clear that a lot of money was spent on producing the music video.

However, compared to her works, Jihyo's song is a very common style, there seems to be no special part, and it even points out that the SOLO song did not allow Jiyeo to show her skills in high notes and dancing. There is even no highlight in the song, and even the stage does not have any particularly impressive places.

The original post stated that not only the songs and dances, but also the overall outfit in the MV were all quite make fans feel regrettable. Compared to the SOLO styles of other girl groups, the individual songs of BLACKPINK's JENNIE, ROSÉ, LISA, and Jisoo are very suitable for each person's color. They also expressed disappointment that Jihyo's SOLO song was somewhat ordinary.

After the post was exposed, it immediately triggered a wave of discussions among netizens. Many netizens believe "You should be grateful for being able to go solo", "It's not easy for girl groups to go solo, besides BLACKPINK and Nayeon, very few group members have successfully gone solo", "I also think the song is quite ordinary", "I don't know if it lacks star quality, overall it's really just okay, it seems not to be an issue of the company", "If it's her personal style choice, it seems the company can't be blamed".

The summer of 2023 has heated up with the return of numerous beloved idols to the music industry. Among them, ITZY, the younger sister group of TWICE, has also made a comeback after 8 months. Recently, while actively participating in various variety show promotions, Yuna revealed her desire to have her own Instagram, sparking a hot discussion among netizens. Yesterday, a netizen uploaded a post titled "ITZY's Yuna Who Wants to Start a Personal IG Account". The post included a part of the online YouTube variety show "Community Star K3". Host Jonathan mentioned that ITZY fans have made a wish to follow the personal Instagram accounts of ITZY members, saying, "It would be possible if only JYP would help." Later, Jonathan asked ITZY if they had any thoughts on starting their personal Instagram accounts. Yuna honestly replied, "Although we really want to, but this is not something we can decide", implying that JYP Entertainment has not allowed them to open individual Instagram accounts. Therefore, netizens immediately called on JYP to let ITZY members open individual Instagram accounts. Comments were coming in expressing their own opinions, "It should be possible now, as Stray Kids have already started," "Didn't aespa get started immediately after getting media coverage?" "No, they should let the female idols start their personal Instagram when they are popular, seriously..." "Haven't they debuted several years ago? Why can't they open an account..." "JYP really can't keep up with the times." "There's no reason they can't have an Instagram account, right? Why doesn't JYP allow it? I'm curious too." "I think ITZY members are all perfect for Instagram. I didn't know they didn't have personal accounts yet." "In this day and age, not having a personal IG is a definite disadvantage, especially for female idols..." "They are not rookies, so even if they start their own IG now, they will manage it well," "JYP's main office really needs to reconsider their management team," etc., it's a hot topic of discussion.

Gong Seung-yeon proudly claims she is prettier than her younger sister TWICE Jeongyeon! She revealed that she got hit instead when she tried to stop a fight when Jeongyeon was young!K-Pop

Gong Seung-yeon proudly claims she is prettier than her younger sister TWICE Jeongyeon! She revealed that she got hit instead when she tried to stop a fight when Jeongyeon was young!

Today, actress Gong Seung-yeon mentioned her younger sister, TWICE member Jeongyeon, while appearing as a guest on a radio program. When the host asked, "Both of you are so beautiful, what do you think about each other's appearance?", Gong Seung-Yeon did not hesitate to say "I am more beautiful", making people sigh at the realistic sibling interaction. The host continued, "Jeongyeon has a small, beautiful face, and Seung-yeon is also very beautiful." Seung-yeon said, "We look a bit different, but Jeongyeon has a better personality." Gong Seung-yeon is the eldest of three sisters. She said, "I'm the eldest, Jeong-yeon is a workaholic, and our younger sister is an ordinary office worker. It feels like our younger sister is a combination of me and Jeong-yeon." When asked if their parents are also beautiful, Gong Seung-yeon said she resembles their father, while her sister looks like their mother. Gong Seung-yeon mentioned that her younger sister, TWICE Jeongyeon, often got hit while trying to stop her older sisters from fighting, which caused a burst of laughter on the spot. Gong Seung-yeon said, "I am one year and three years older than my sisters. I often told them what to do when we were younger. I don't know if it was because I gave them too many instructions, but they would help me clean the house whenever they came over." She also added, "I am only a year older than my sister, and we used to argue a lot. Jeongyeon got hit many times while trying to calm us down. We used to fight over clothes and food, but now we are very close". Gong Seung-yeon, who starred in "The First Responders 2," also mentioned Kim Rae-won and Son Ho-jun, who she worked with in the drama. She even chose Kim Rae-won as the mood-maker on set. Gong Seung-yeon said, "I also wanted to boast that I was the mood-maker, but Rae-won Oppa likes to talk, he talked about the drama plot in a sophisticated and meticulous way, leading the conversation. Rae-won talked the most, only about the drama during the shoot. Even so, he is still very humorous. Son Ho-jun, on the other hand, is the silent type. He is more stable and has a leadership style on the scene." Gong Seung-yeon, who plays a paramedic in a TV drama, had to practice injections on her shoulder during the first season. "Because I'm a paramedic, I basically had to learn how to treat the wounded. At first, I took my shoulder home to practice, but because it wasn't real flesh, it felt very dry. So, I practiced on my sister's hand with a rubber band, although I didn't insert it directly." Gong Seung-yeon also revealed her love for calligraphy since she was a child. "When I was young, my father taught me calligraphy and I worked very hard. There was a time when I even thought of pursuing it," she said. “Although I can still use it now, I have been too busy lately, so I haven't written much.” Also known as a homebody, Gong Seung-yeon added, "Because it's hot, I stay at home and get lost in time doing laundry and cleaning. After moving, I started gardening, so I got even busier."
