‘I Am Solo' to delete scenes of cast member arrested for sex crime
A man in his 30s who appeared in the popular TV dating show "I Am Solo" has been arrested for rape, prompting widespread public outrage and a formal apology from the show's producers. The suspect surnamed Park had appeared in the past editions of the ongoing series — aired on ENA and SBS Plus — and also in its spinoff series "I Am Solo: Love Continues." The producers of the "I Am Solo" said they will edit out the suspect's image from the show as much as they can, adding that they learned of the allegations and the court-issued arrest warrant via news reports. Park is believed to have attacked a woman in her 20s at a parking lot in Mapo-gu, western Seoul, at around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday. He is accused of quasi-rape, a crime equivalent to rape that refers to sexual intercourse by taking advantage of someone who is unconscious or unable to resist. He was arrested on the spot by police, and the court issued a warrant for his official arrest Monday. "I Am Solo" has aired since 2021, following non-celebrity singles through romantic and personal interactions in a reality TV format that spans multiple seasons. The arrest has cast a shadow over the show's reputation, with producers pledging to act responsibly in managing the situation on-screen and off.

Super Junior kicks off 20th anniversary year with new reality show
Super Junior is launching its highly anticipated 20th-anniversary project with a brand-new reality entertainment program, 'Super Junior's Super TV.' The 10-episode show will premiere March 21, airing every Friday on TVing, a local streaming platform, and Mnet, a CJ ENM-owned music cable channel. For international fans, 'Super Junior's Super TV' will be available via multiple global streaming platforms, including Kocowa+ (North America, Europe, Oceania), TrueVisions Now (Thailand), friDay Video (Taiwan), and Channel K on Prime Video India (India). The program takes a unique 'hardcore variety' approach, tailored specifically for Super Junior. Now entering their 20th year, the members will take on the challenge of escaping a world built entirely with their own words — where every statement they make materializes into reality. The show promises a lineup of unpredictable and dynamic content, including a parody of the popular dating show 'I Am Solo,' a game-filled sauna experience, a housewarming party at a member's home and even a travel adventure — all fueled by Super Junior's signature chemistry, honed over two decades. Beyond variety shows, Super Junior has an extensive lineup of projects planned for their 20th anniversary celebrations, including an exhibition, new album release, pop-up stores and a concert tour.
