Yuqi draws criticism for backing China's unification stance despite i-dle bandmate Shuhua's Taiwan ties

Yuqi, a Chinese member of the K-pop girl group i-dle, has once again shared a social media post supporting the Chinese government's stance on national unification, drawing attention because fellow member Shuhua is from Taiwan. On Thursday, Yuqi reposted a message from China's state-run Xinhua News Agency on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. "The territory must not be divided, the country must not be split, the nation must not be scattered and civilization must not be interrupted," the message read. Yuqi added, "A shared belief deeply engraved in the hearts of all descendants of the Chinese nation," expressing her support for the message. The post quoted part of a speech delivered by Chinese President Xi Jinping at a ceremony in Beijing the same day to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Sun Yat-sen.

Belift Lab loses damages suit against ex-ADOR CEO over alleged defamation

A Seoul court on Friday ruled against K-pop agency Belift Lab in a suit claiming damages from Min Hee-jin, former CEO of K-pop label ADOR, for alleged defamation. Belift Lab, a sub-label of K-pop powerhouse Hybe, had sought 2 billion won ($1.5 million) in damages after Min claimed in an April 2024 press conference that the label's girl group Illit had copied ADOR's NewJeans. The Seoul Western District Court rejected Belift Lab's argument that Min had defamed the label by spreading false information, ruling her remarks were an expression of subjective opinion. It also dismissed a counter suit raised by Min against Belift Lab, seeking 5 billion won in damages. Min faces a separate criminal case over the alleged defamation against Belift Lab, with police referring her to the prosecution last month on suspicion of defamation and obstruction of business.
