Ji Sung Takes Down Yakuza Members With Ease In “The Apartment Job”

Get ready for a flashback to Ji Sung’s past on the next episode of “The Apartment Job”!

JTBC’s “The Apartment Job” tells the story of former Oasis Gang boss Park Hae Kang (Ji Sung), who runs for president of an apartment complex’s resident council in order to get his hands on the complex’s hidden reserve fund. In the process, he winds up joining forces with the other residents in order to expose deep-rooted corruption.

Spoilers

On the third episode of “The Apartment Job,” Park Hae Kang emerged a hero within his apartment complex after resolving its package delivery crisis—only to nearly lose his election anyway when he was framed for assaulting a fellow resident. However, when it came to light that Park Hae Kang had actually been trying to rescue a security guard who was being assaulted, he returned to his neighbors’ good graces and was ultimately elected building representative.

The opening scene of the drama’s upcoming fourth episode will reveal a glimpse of Park Hae Kang’s past as the head of the gambling den HK Trading and Investment. While greeting a Japanese VIP in the gambling den, Park Hae Kang is suddenly ambushed by Japanese yakuza members who rush at him with menacing weapons in hand.

But despite being unarmed, Park Hae Kang manages to take down the charging yakuza members with ease. After quickly wrapping up the fight, he returns to shaking the VIP’s hand with a smile.

“The bare-knuckle fight scene that opens Episode 4 is an intense and thrilling action sequence in which Ji Sung truly gave his all,” said the drama’s production team. “Through the stark contrast between the Hae Kang who delivered laughs with his humorous election campaign and his sudden transformation into a former mob boss, you’ll be able to see the strength and hidden past of the character Park Hae Kang. Please look forward to it.”

The fourth episode of “The Apartment Job” will air on July 19 at 10:30 p.m. KST.

TWICE, Stray Kids, And Park Jin Young Invited To Join Grammy Awards’ Recording Academy As Voting Members

The Recording Academy, which is best-known for its annual Grammy Awards, has officially invited TWICE, Stray Kids, and JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin Young to join its ranks!

Last week, the famous American institution revealed that it had extended over 4,000 invitations to “dedicated music creators” and “established music professionals across genres, backgrounds, and disciplines.”

JYP Entertainment has now announced that 18 of its artists—Park Jin Young, the nine members of TWICE, and the eight members of Stray Kids—have been invited to join the Recording Academy as voting members, meaning that they will be eligible to vote for the Grammy Awards.

Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment CEO Jeong Wook and CSO Shin Hyun Kook, who also serves as the CEO of JYP America, have been invited to join as professional members: a type of membership for music executives, managers, publicists, agents, and other team members that work to support music creators.

Formally established in 1957, the Recording Academy held the very first Grammy Awards in 1959. It currently holds the prestigious award ceremony every year to recognize achievements in music, with only its voting members eligible to cast votes and determine which of their peers will be awarded.

Last month, the Recording Academy announced that it would be adding a new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category for the upcoming 2027 Grammy Awards.

Congratulations to TWICE, Stray Kids, and Park Jin Young on their official invitations!

Watch: fromis_9, RESCENE, Brown Eyed Girls, And Baby DONT Cry Members Come Together In “Knowing Bros” Preview

Get ready for a fun episode of JTBC’s “Knowing Bros” (“Ask Us Anything”) with guests from four different girl groups!

The popular variety show has revealed a sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will feature Brown Eyed Girls’ Narsha and JeA, fromis_9’s Lee Chaeyoung and Baek Jiheon, RESCENE’s Woni and Minami, along with Baby DONT Cry’s Yihyun and Beni, as guests.

After the guests introduce themselves in pairs by dancing to their respective songs, Narsha playfully points out the generation gap between Brown Eyed Girls and the younger groups by saying, “I see that [idols] these days keep jumping throughout [their choreography].”

Next, Woni and Minami give their viral “Yaho” meme a “Knowing Bros” twist, with Narsha, JeA, and Kang Ho Dong attempting to imitate them. Meanwhile, Baek Jiheon shares that it’s been her dream since childhood to meet Kang Ho Dong and excitedly gives him a high five before exclaiming in surprise, “You’re really strong.”

The fromis_9 members also joke about the difference between the vibes Baek Jiheon and Lee Chaeyoung initially give off, suggesting that Baek Jiheon looks like the ideal daughter-in-law while Lee Chaeyoung looks like someone whose boyfriends’ moms might oppose them marrying.

Yihyun and Beni impress the “Knowing Bros” cast with displays of random talents, while Minami shows off her Korean language skills by quickly reciting tongue-twisters. Later, after facing off in various games, all of the idols come together for a joint dance performance.

HYBE’s new label ABD has unveiled the first glimpse of its upcoming girl group!

On May 26, the newly launched HYBE label opened its official website and social media channels, releasing six short films that introduce ABD’s creative identity. The videos also offered a first look at some members of the label’s upcoming girl group, which is set to debut later this year.

The short films highlight ABD’s motto, “the pure joy of music,” through playful and stylish visuals. In the videos, three girls wearing shoes marked with the letters “A,” “B,” and “D” dance freely and energetically, while the “ABD” logo appears like footprints with every step, sparking curiosity about the new group.

ABD’s official website further reflects the label’s creative philosophy of “imagining D instead of C after A and B,” emphasizing a free-spirited and unconventional approach. Featuring animated illustrated cursors, brightly colored interactive backgrounds, and mini-games such as balloon-popping activities, the site delivers an immersive experience for visitors.

You can check out the label’s official website here and social media channels here!

Established earlier this month as part of HYBE’s multi-label strategy, ABD is a specialized label focused on producing and developing girl groups. The label’s name comes from its slogan, “A Bold Dream.”

ABD’s first girl group will be produced by Han Sung Soo, who is known for producing groups like SEVENTEEN, After School, IZ*ONE, and TWS.
