TXT's Stylist Receives Complaints Over Bland Styling Choices For Group's Recent Stage Outfits
Behind the shimmering and glimmering of stars on red carpets and music videos is a carefully intricate team that styles each group according to a crafted concept. Particularly with K-pop groups, synchronisation is important when going out as a group, but a little diversity in looks between members should also be considered. Recently, netizens have been calling out TXT's (TOMORROW X TOGETHER/투모로우바이투게더) stylist for messy and un-tailored stage outfits. Compared to their colourful and diverse clothing options before, netizens have pointed out how monotonous the group's styling has been even during award shows. Netizens from the Korean community page TheQoo have expressed their opinions on recent styling choices for TXT's stage outfits. A point of argument from fans explains how the group's outfits used to be more detailed and had different colours and variations to them compared to now. Netizens attribute the poor reception from fans is due to the clothes' dull colours, careless fits and details that lack of any clear concept of what the group is going for. Netizens are outraged over the continuous misses on TXT's outfit choices with one netizen commenting, 'TXT? Just a T-shirt and jeans? No styling, colours look old, even worse than their private clothes. What's the stylist thinking?'. Fans also relate the issue to BTS, who are also under the same label, Bit Hit Music. A netizen from the Korean community platform, TheQoo, comments, 'BTS are seniors but they also wear poorly fitted clothes. Even if you focus on how they are juniors, it's not like they need dozens of people for coordination'. The user continues that even if the company is small and understaffed, the problem with their styling would not escalate as so. Currently, not much is made public about TXT's current stylist due to their former stylist, Rakta, going under fire for her styling choices for the group before. However, we do hope the team can improve on the group's styling. What do you think about TXT's outfits now versus before? Sources: Twitter, TheQoo Alyssa Gabrielle contributed to this article

Park Bo Gum has officially returned to K-Drama land! He is leading the latest action-comedy GOOD BOY alongside actress Kim So Hyun. The anticipated drama has premiered it first two episodes and kicked off with promising ratings. However, it has quickly become a hot topic for reasons beyond its numbers. A promising start in viewership According to Nielsen Korea, the first episode of GOOD BOY recorded a nationwide average rating of 4.8 percent, signaling a solid debut. With Park Bo Gum 's small-screen comeback and a high-energy genre blend, many viewers tuned in with high expectations. The show's premise certainly sets it apart: retired Olympic medalists, facing the harsh realities of post-athlete life, are recruited into a special police unit. These athletes, once at the top of their game, now apply their physical prowess to combat crime. Park Bo Gum stars as Yoon Dong Ju, a once-promising athlete whose impulsive behavior derails his career. He is reassigned to the Insung Metropolitan Police Agency, where he joins a group of fellow athletes-turned-officers. Together, they tackle violent crimes while confronting discrimination and skepticism from within the force. Divided reactions online Despite a strong launch in ratings, GOOD BOY has received a wave of mixed responses from audiences online. A discussion thread about the drama on the forum TheQoo quickly went viral. It surpassed 110,000 views within a day of the premiere. Netizens weighed in with varying opinions on the show's tone, direction, and performances. Many viewers expressed dissatisfaction with the overall execution, describing it as exaggerated and tonally inconsistent. Some questioned whether the comedy element suits Park Bo Gum's usual acting style. Others felt the show's concept, though unique, lacked emotional weight or nuance. Here's a glimpse of how online critics are reacting, as reported by Koreaboo. 'The directing and acting are both over-the-top.' 'Park Bogum's acting felt a bit off, more than I expected. I don't think comedy suits him.' 'It was so boring I fell asleep watching it…' 'Oh, I thought it was ok, though.' 'It felt excessive and childish, but if people are loving it, I guess it's just not my taste.' Can GOOD BOY win over critics? While the initial episode generated buzz both in ratings and online chatter, GOOD BOY now faces the challenge of maintaining momentum. The drama has the advantage of a distinctive concept and a star-studded cast. But, with public opinion divided, future episodes will need to strike a stronger balance between humor and storytelling to sustain audience interest.

Go Min Si, often celebrated for her pure image, radiant positivity, and powerful performances, now finds herself at the center of a storm. Allegations have surfaced online accusing her of school bullying, extortion, and underage drinking—claims that have cast a shadow over her otherwise bright reputation. Despite her agency's firm statement calling the accusations 'groundless,' questions still linger: Will this controversy affect her upcoming work with Netflix? The answer is a resounding NO. Go Min Si is set to move forward with filming Perfect Job, Netflix's anticipated project, without any disruptions.

The production team emphasized there would be no changes or delays in filming due to the ongoing controversy. What Are the Allegations Against Go Min Si? The situation ignited after a post appeared on an online community titled, 'We Are Victims of School Violence by Actress Go XX.' The anonymous post accused the individual, later implied to be Go Min Si, of bullying classmates, mocking students with disabilities, stealing, and engaging in underage drinking during her middle school years. Notably, the post stated that the accusers were not seeking an apology or monetary compensation, but instead a complete halt to Go Min Si's career to prevent what they called "further harm." How Did Go Min Si's Agency Respond? On May 26, a representative from Go Min Si's agency addressed the circulating rumors in an interview with OSEN. They firmly denied the allegations, stating, 'We have thoroughly verified the claims of school violence posted online.
