Actor Lee Yi-kyung is taking legal action against an unidentified person who spread false rumors about his private life, leading to months of harassment and his exit from MBC's variety show despite the claims being retracted as fabricated. The situation highlights how entertainers face career damage from unverified allegations while broadcasting companies opted for his departure rather than investigating the truth. Meanwhile, HYBE artists including ILLIT and BOYNEXTDOOR swept the Japan Record Awards, AKMU announced their departure from YG Entertainment after twelve years, and BTS member Jin is bringing his solo concert to theaters nationwide. Plus, Netflix is developing an American version of Squid Game with director David Fincher and Kate Blanchett attached to the project.
