Martin Kove accused of biting Alicia Hannah-Kim, nearly drawing blood
Police in Washington state say Cobra Kai star Martin Kove (pic) bit the arm of co-star Alicia Hannah-Kim during a VIP meet-and-greet at a fan convention over the weekend. Brooklyn-born Kove — who reprised his Karate Kid role of villain John Kreese in the Netflix series — was asked to leave Summer Con on Sunday after Hannah-Kim, 42, said hello and he responded by biting her arm 'so hard he nearly drew blood,' according to a report from the Puyallup Police Department obtained by Variety. Kove then allegedly kissed the bite mark, after which Hannah-Kim and her husband confronted the 78-year-old Rambo actor, who police say 'exploded on them' for doing so. When the couple sought the help of an officer at the convention to diffuse the situation, Kove claimed he was only trying to be 'funny,' saying he and Hannah-Kim 'play fight all the time on the set of Cobra Kai .' Hannah-Kim — who played sensei Kim Da-Eun on Seasons 5 and 6 of Cobra Kai — said she wanted to file a police report 'in case this continues,' but did not intend to press charges. Both Kove and Hannah-Kim have shared content from the event, which included the VIP meet-and-greet, but do not appear to have publicly remarked on the alleged assault. Representatives for Kove and Hannah-Kim did not immediately respond to the Daily News ' request for comment. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

Not (just) like Jennie: ‘KPop Demon Hunters' director/writer clarifies Blackpink's Jennie only one of many references
SEOUL, June 28 —There has been a lot of online speculation as to which K-pop idol specifically inspired the K-pop idol groups Huntrix and Saja Boys in Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters. The show has proven to be quite a hit, with a very warm reception from K-pop fans. Unfortunately, if there's one thing fans are a little too good at is starting conflicts between fandoms, so it's not surprising that writer and director of the show Maggie Kang decided to clear the air in a post on X. 'Rumi was inspired by many leading ladies, some not even K-Pop. Names are going around (individual idols + groups) bc we only said 'yes' as they were mentioned by interviewer to us but list of inspo for both Huntr/x & Saja Boys is endless. This has been clarified by us to press,' Kang said. She said it in a post quoting an X account stating that the character Rumi of Huntrix was reportedly inspired by Blackpink's Jennie. Rumi was inspired by many leading ladies, some not even K-Pop. Names are going around (individual idols + groups) bc we only said 'yes' as they were mentioned by interviewer to us but list of inspo for both Huntr/x & Saja Boys is endless. This has been clarified by us to press. — Maggie Kang (@maggiemkang) June 27, 2025 Some Blackpink fans were upset by Kang's post, with one fan accusing her of 'targeting Jennie alone' and complaining that she 'quoted a tweet about BTS' before posting about it. Hopefully the online vitriol doesn't scare off Kang from making more stories from the Kpop Demon Hunters universe. Right now Netflix is already selling merchandise from the show and has even opened preorders for a plush version of the blue tiger Derpy.
