Two former BIGBANG members are drawing attention for dramatically different updates in their personal lives, with T.O.P going public with his relationship with singer-actress Nana and Seungri revealed to be legally married with a baby on the way. Ilgan Sports reported Wednesday that Seungri has registered his marriage with his pregnant wife, making them legally married. His wife is reportedly due to give birth in January. News of the pregnancy emerged before details of the marriage became public, prompting speculation that the couple had conceived before marriage. Seungri denied the speculation through the outlet and said the couple currently has no plans to hold a wedding ceremony. "As I am now responsible for a family, I feel an even greater sense of responsibility," Seungri said.

First Kim Go-eun, then Park Bo-young and now, Kim You-jung. GOT7's Jinyoung is building a reputation as one of K-drama's most reliable romantic leads, repeatedly winning viewers over with his chemistry opposite some of Korea's best-known actresses. Jinyoung is currently starring in tvN's weekend drama "100 Days of Deception" as Sato Hideo, an elite interpreter working for the Japanese colonial government, who is also an ethnic Korean named Kim Tae-woong.

But around Lee Ga-gyeong, played by Kim You-jung, glimpses of tenderness emerge beneath his seemingly indifferent demeanor, creating a simmering romantic tension between the two. In one scene, Hideo notices bruising on Ga-gyeong's wrist and quietly brings her ointment, r

TWICE member Tzuyu's mother has personally stepped in to address dating rumors surrounding her daughter, saying the man at the center of the online speculation is simply a longtime friend. Huang Yen-ling, Tzuyu's mother, addressed the rumors spreading online in a social media post Tuesday. "There have been several rumors about Tzuyu and a male acquaintance," she said.

"I don't think people should overinterpret things or make careless assumptions based on fragments of information." She also asked people not to criticize or attack anyone based on unverified rumors. "I hope the u

Former THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon has won a damages lawsuit against an entertainment reporter who accused him of paying for sex with a former Japanese adult video actress — an allegation that preceded his departure from the K-pop group. The Seoul Central District Court ordered the reporter, identified only as A, to pay Ju 200 million won ($140,000) in damages, according to legal sources Wednesday.
