Now, in the latest turn of events, the idol has been cleared by the authorities of all charges that were filed against him.
San E gets cleared of
trespassing charges
On July 8, the idol confirmed that he has officially been cleared of all charges that were filed against him by Leta earlier this year. He took to his social media account and shared a post to announce the news. The post consisted of a screenshot of a notification from the Korean National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters.
The notice read, 'This is the Yangcheon Police Station in Seoul. We inform you that the case regarding your violation of the Act on Punishment of Violent Acts (joint trespassing, joint destruction of property, etc.) has been closed due to insufficient evidence. The case has been dismissed (no charges)'.
What had happened earlier?
In March of this year, Leta, who is a Chinese national and was in the country due to her visa issues, alleged that San E had trespassed into her home in South Korea.
She had stated that the idol paid off a man named Mr Jung, and had instructed him to enter the house and dispose of whatever furniture he found.
She filed a case against San E and Jung for joint trespassing as well as concealment of property.
This is not the first time that the celebrity has managed to find himself in the middle of legal trouble. In July last year, he was even charged with assault after harming a passerby with a mobile phone in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The parties involved all settled at the time and received the suspension of prosecution as well.

From Seoul with love: Korean man speaks in fluent Bhojpuri to Korean people, internet is impressed!

Lee, is seen leading a cheerful classroom session that even includes children, guiding them through basic Bhojpuri greetings with energy and warmth. This video was shared by the Korean content creator @40kahani on Instagram and it begins with Lee introducing the lesson: "How to have four basic conversations in India. When we meet someone for the first time, we say hello. In India, we say, 'ka ho?' Very nice, very nice." His enthusiasm sets the tone as the group excitedly repeats each phrase, doing their best to follow his pronunciation. As the lesson continues, Lee adds, "When we meet that same person again, then we say, how have you been? In India, we say, 'ka hal ba?' Amazing. Okay, now we have to reply. We say, 'theek ba?' Fantastic. So sad, but we have to say goodbye to our friend. How do we say goodbye in India? 'Khush Raho.'" The group repeats each line in sync, turning the classroom into a joyful celebration of language and connection. Shared with the caption, "Teaching Bhojpuri to Korean kids #korean #kdrama #bhojpuri #bihar.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 17: Mohit Suri's film earnings surge on Sunday, mints THIS amount
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 17: After 16 days of release, Mohit Suri's latest romantic film, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is ruling the box office. Saiyaara earned nearly ₹ 291 crore in the last 16 days. According to trade industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara earned an estimated ₹ 5.11 crore India net on Sunday, August 3, at the box office, marking a significant surge since Friday. Saiyaara had an overall 31.72% Hindi Occupancy on Sunday. The Ahaan Pandey-starrer film opened to ₹ 21.5 crore. On Friday, Day 15, the film earned ₹ 4.5 crore. The total collection of Saiyaara now stands at ₹ 296.86 crore (India Net), according to Sacnilk data. Saiyaara collected over ₹ 460 crore worldwide in 16 days, including ₹ 291.75 crore India net and ₹ 110 crore from overseas. Speaking on the Saiyaara box office collection, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on X, 'continues its dream run… The film has crossed the ₹ 💯 cr mark in *Week 2* [Friday to Wednesday], reflecting its strong hold at the box-office. It is now eyeing a ₹ 285 cr [+/-] total by the end of Week 2.' In another post on X, Adarsh noted, '#Saiyaara continues its strong run on Tuesday, hitting double digits yet again… The discounted ticket pricing initiative has certainly helped drive footfalls.' However, the film's collection has been impacted by Ashwin Kumar's mythological animated film, Mahavatar Narsimha that released on July 25, 2025. Saiyaara is a romantic musical drama film directed by Mohit Suri. Produced by Yash Raj Films, it stars debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda along with Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. The film is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean movie A Moment To Remember. IMDb describes plot of Saiyaara as, 'Vaani (Aneet Padda) and Krish (Ahaan Pandey) will have to navigate life, their problems, their insecurities to hopefully realise that only love can be the answer to everything.'

The inescapable Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney is everywhere. She's smiling while holding up a face cream in an ad on the subway and pops up when customers are placing orders at Baskin Robbins. She's taking awkward selfies with the latest Samsung flip phone or trying to convince you that pink fuzzy loafers are cool. She sells her bath water, and most recently, she's in an advertisement that's been making news for touting her great genes and jeans on a billboard in Times Square. The latter arrived a week ago in the form of an American Eagle campaign for jeans that makes a pun on the notion that Sweeney won the genetic lottery. The ad, which quickly took off online, set off controversy when some social media users felt it veered uncomfortably close to promotion of eugenics and the glorification of whiteness. It has also been decried for its sexually suggestive nature and for catering to the 'male gaze.' It's unclear how much input, if any, Sweeney had on the end result. That hasn't stopped social media users from commenting on the ad — and Sweeney's involvement — online. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, accused left-leaning audiences of being 'against beautiful women,' and Doja Cat, the rapper, posted a video on TikTok parodying Sweeney's speech. American Eagle, on Friday afternoon, in an attempt to address the backlash, posted a statement on Instagram declaring the campaign 'is and always was about the jeans.' Sweeney did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Outside of the brouhaha this ad has stirred up, Sweeney is best known for her roles as the emotionally vulnerable Cassie in 'Euphoria' and the condescending Olivia in 'The White Lotus.' She has also become one of the most in-demand faces for fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands. She's an ambassador for half a dozen labels: Miu Miu, Armani Beauty, the 'antioxidant infused' water brand Bai, the Korean skin care label Laneige, the hair care brand Kérastase and the loafer brand HeyDude. Why does an actress who has two Emmy Award nominations and has been featured in a number of films and TV shows — including the hit rom-com 'Anyone But You,' which brought in over $200 million worldwide — need to lend her face to so many brands? 'If I just acted, I wouldn't be able to afford my life in LA,' Sweeney told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. 'I take deals because I have to. They don't pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals.' The issue of actors' compensation came into focus during the 2023 Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike, which was intended partly to pressure studios to increase compensation for actors in films and TV shows on streaming platforms. According to 2023 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage for an actor in the United States was $20.50 per hour. Sweeney is certainly making more than that, but, she told The Hollywood Reporter, paying her lawyer, agents, business manager and publicist comes at a cost that is 'more than my mortgage.' 'It seems like she's not ashamed or embarrassed by promoting all of these different projects,' said Priya Rao, the executive editor of The Business of Beauty at The Business of Fashion. 'Historically, celebrities were taught it was tacky to do too much, to be everywhere all at once.' But in the attention economy, younger stars are capitalizing on their 15 minutes of fame before the trend cycle moves on to something or someone else, Rao added. Sweeney also seems to embody a malleable quality. 'She's able to be in Armani Beauty and be aspirational there,' Rao said. 'She's able to be friendly and a girl next door with Laneige. And then here, with American Eagle, she's able to kind of be both sexy and relatable, because American Eagle is a regular all-American Gen Z-loved brand.' For the body care label Dr. Squatch, the fact that Sweeney had worked with a number of other brands was not a deterrent. 'Sydney brings a really strong perspective to all of the brand relationships she has, and she actually vets them a lot,' said John Ludeke, Dr. Squatch's senior vice president of global marketing. Ludeke said Sweeney had been 'very involved' in establishing the creative concepts for her campaigns to ensure they would resonate with the brand's audience while feeling unique to her. He confirmed that Sweeney is no longer actively working with Dr. Squatch. But consumers like Olivia Stent, 25, a paralegal based in Chicago, may have seen enough. She expected that actors from 'Euphoria' would become brand names, but she said Sweeney had 'marketed herself so much.' Companies, however, are seeing results in their bottom lines. American Eagle's stock rallied by 10% in the days after the advertisement starring Sweeney was introduced. In a recent earnings call, Andrew Rees, the CEO of Crocs Inc., the parent company of HeyDude, noted that working with the actress on efforts to reach the brand's female Gen Z consumer base had been 'performing really well.' The controversy may also work in American Eagle's favor, which had struggled to generate demand for its assortments, Rao said, as it could 'get them into that cultural conversation.' Despite the volume of Sweeney's deals, Rao added, it seems the actress is still being strategic. Laneige is a top-performing skin care brand for Amorepacific Group, and Dr. Squatch was acquired by Unilever for $1.5 billion in June. 'At what point are you the face of too many things?' Rao asked. 'I don't think we've reached that point with her, clearly — but I mean, there will eventually be a point of overexposure.'
