Imaichi Ryuji under investigation for assaulting taxi driver: Deets inside

Singer and actor Imaichi Ryuji is currently under investigation for the assault of a taxi driver. Reports claim that he was under the influence of alcohol and even threatened the driver. According to The Japan News report, a member of popular J-pop group Sandaime J Soul Brothers is under investigation after he allegedly threatened a taxi driver and said that he would k*** him, as well as for physically assaulting him. Metropolitan Police Department's Yoyogi Police Station shared that the incident happened in the early hours of the day back in April. Reportedly, he had been inside the taxi at the time and had punched the acrylic sheet that separates the driver and passengers. Thereafter, he proceeded to pull the driver's arm back through the acrylic and had threatened to end his life as well. A report was filed against the singer on the same day of the assault, followed by an investigation. No injuries were also reported from the driver's end for the ride that lasted approximately 10 minutes. The idol has shared his side of the incident, saying that he had been talking to someone else before getting into the taxi, and had been in an angry and irritated state at the time of the assault. This is also not the first time that Ryuji has found himself at the centre of legal trouble. In 2020, according to Shukan Bunshun records, he had taken a glass of alcohol at a karaoke bar and had thrown it at a woman in Ishigaki, Japan, whom he had picked up as well. He had been in an inebriated state at this time as well. Fans of his and the J-pop group have been shocked at the incident. nO other updates about the case have been shared with the public so far.

Netflix's new K-drama facing boycott in South Korea turns global smash hit with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score

Netflix recently dropped a new dystopian K-drama set in a fictional South Korea where the country's strict gun laws go out the window. Starring Kim Nam Gil, Kim Young Kwang, Park Hoon and others, this new show titled Trigger sparked massive boycott calls even before its release. Many believed it was loosely inspired by the recent shooting incident in Songdo, Incheon. The director denied any such link, but that didn't stop the speculation. Trigger stayed a burning topic even after it hit screens. Meanwhile, globally, it's become one of Netflix's most-watched non-English shows, beating titles like Letters From the Past, Angela, and more. Also read: Trigger Ending Explained: Does Kim Nam Gil's Netflix thriller have a happy ending and who survives the rampage of gunplay? The K-drama dropped on July 25 and instantly shot to the second spot in Netflix's non-English global category. Now in its second week, the show, despite slipping a few positions, still holds strong at number 4, pulling in over 2.9 million views this week and securing its spot in the top 10 across 20 countries, including regions like Romania, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Kuwait, Thailand, and, surprisingly, even South Korea. The number one spot is still being held by Squid Game 3 for five weeks straight, and with 28.5 million hours viewed. The animated series My Melody & Kuromi: Season 1 sits at number 2, while fan-favourite anime DAN DA DAN: Season 2 lands at number 3. Trigger imagines a South Korea where guns are easily available, and all hell breaks loose when a revenge-driven man, on the edge of death with a terminal illness, decides to flood the country with illegal firearms. It theme of the show alone serves as a warning and leans hard into the kind of turmoil South Korean screens rarely show. Even though the series didn't get much attention at first, it slowly became a critic's favourite too and one of the rare K-dramas to receive a Rotten Tomatoes score. For now, it has a 100% rating. The massive global reaction just proves how strong K-dramas still are for the platform. Netflix has already been stepping up its K-content game, moving beyond the usual rom-coms and exploring more psychological, thriller, and action-driven stories. Mercy for None dropped earlier this year, and Beyond the Bar is lined up for August 2. Also read: After Sydney Sweeney, Gavin Casalegno's Dunkin' ad faces heat over 'genetics'-obsessed campaigns At home, the series has sparked boycott calls. Some feel the show exaggerates or sensationalises gun violence in a way Koreans aren't ready to digest just yet. Others, though, appreciated its raw tone, especially given the world inching closer to real wars. Earlier, a Chosun Biz report revealed that a 62-year-old man was arrested for allegedly shooting his own son with a makeshift shotgun while prepping for a birthday celebration. In a country where getting a gun license is nothing like it is in the US, the case hit a nerve. Trigger's director Kwon Oh-seung later said, 'I feel heartbroken about the recent unfortunate incident. I regret it. I hope that such things do not happen in the future,' adding that 'the connection between this incident and Trigger is a different issue.' Still, despite the clarification, the show's fan event live broadcast was suddenly scrapped—no reason given.

Did YG plagiarize again? Hip hop legends J.J. Fad accuse BABYMONSTER's HOT SAUCE of using Supersonic melody without permission

YG Entertainment is once again in hot water - this time for allegedly using a legendary American hip hop track without permission. Iconic rap group J.J. Fad has publicly called out the K-pop giant for lifting elements of their groundbreaking 1988 hit Supersonic in BABYMONSTER's new song HOT SAUCE - and doing so without clearance, credit, or compensation. This isn't unfamiliar territory for YG Entertainment, which has faced repeated criticism over the years for its controversial handling of Black cultural influences. From fashion to music, the label has often walked a fine line between homage and appropriation. Now, with J.J. Fad's accusation, that line may have been crossed once again. J.J. Fad goes public on TikTok The trio, hailed as pioneers in old-school hip hop, posted a viral TikTok in which they compared HOT SAUCE to Supersonic and pointed out the glaring similarities. Their frustration was clear. Well well well "We definitely are flattered that @babymonster yg did an interpolation of Supersonic. The problem is they never asked for permission to use it, or paid for the usage! Better reach out soon or…" the group wrote on their official TikTok account. What is Interpolation and why it isn't a loophole Interpolation - re-recording parts of an existing melody instead of sampling - still requires permission from the original rights holders. While K-pop frequently employs this technique, as seen in BLACKPINK's Pink Venom (which nods to Rihanna) or IVE's After LIKE (inspired by Donna Summer), that doesn't exempt labels from legal and ethical obligations. Fans demand accountability The silence from YG Entertainment has only added fuel to the fire. Fans and industry professionals alike are calling out the company for its recurring pattern of using Black artistry without acknowledgment. expected from the company famous for creating niggaboos YG has a reputation of stealing from black culture and they require at least one artist from each of their groups to either say the nword or imitate black ppl to get into the company so this isn't much of a surprise. Others echoed similar sentiments, demanding accountability and transparency from one of K-pop's biggest powerhouses. more Korean companies stealing from black artists and no one is doing shit about it YG remains silent - for now So far, the agency has not issued any comment on the accusations. Whether they choose to resolve the matter quietly behind the scenes or face the music publicly remains to be seen - but one thing is clear: J.J. Fad and their supporters won't stay silent.
