In a dramatic courtroom development, Adore and former New Jeans member Danielle are locked in a heated dispute over evidence disclosure in their ongoing damages lawsuit. The court heard arguments on September 10th about whether Adore must reveal New Jeans' future activity plans and financial data to Danielle's legal team. Danielle's side is demanding access to Adore's detailed comeback plans and accounting records to verify the company's damage claims, arguing they need to confirm whether Adore actually had the capability to promote New Genes as claimed. Adore countered that such materials contain trade secrets and shouldn't be shared with parties in a competitive relationship, though the court suggested using a certified public accountant as a neutral verifier. The next hearing is scheduled for October 22nd, with the court ordering both sides to clarify whether damages stem from New Genes as a whole, or specifically from Danielle's individual actions.

Actress Han So-hi opened up about her transformative experience filming the movie The Intern, revealing how the role helped her confront her own perfectionist tendencies. In a recent interview, Han explained that her character Sun Wu, a young CEO struggling with the weight of responsibility, mirrored her own habit of pushing herself too hard and trying to find all the answers alone. The actress found particular resonance in a pivotal bar scene opposite Choi Min Sik, where his character's advice to eat well and sleep well suddenly felt directed at Han Sohi herself, rather than just her character, causing her to break down in tears during an unscripted emotional moment. Working alongside the legendary Choi Minzik taught Han not just about acting technique, but about respecting others regardless of age or status, inspiring her to become someone others would want to emulate. The Korean remake of the Hollywood hit opens on September 16th, marking another step in Han's evolution from someone who works hard to someone who works well.
