Rapper Iron has been booked without detention on the suspicions of assaulting his girlfriend (hereafter referred to as “A”).

On March 14, according to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Iron has been booked without detention for the suspicion of hitting his girlfriend multiple times, allegedly causing a fracture.

The police stated that Iron is under suspicion for angrily punching “A” in the face multiple times when she did not listen to his request while they were having sexual relations. Two weeks later at the same place, when A notified him of her plans to break up, he reportedly strangled her neck, beat her face multiple times, crushed her body, bruised her face, and fractured her left pinky finger. He is also under suspicion for threatening her by taking a deadly weapon from the kitchen and injuring his right thigh, saying, “If you report this to the police, I’m going to say that you stabbed me.”

Iron spoke with media source Sports Korea, saying, “My girlfriend demanded the assault. The [reports] on the self-injury are groundless. I want to precisely tell the truth because right now the other party’s untrue claims are being released in articles.”

The rapper continued, saying, “The first time we met was because of a jacket shooting for my album. She was a model for my album. The most problematic point about her is that she is a masochist with a desire for sexual sadism. In the beginning, I was shocked. She always asked me for violence. She said that it was the only way she would feel satisfied. It was during the process of her merciless violence that I acted out of self-defense.

“Her image was so scary, and I knew that she had a boyfriend so we broke up. She was once my girlfriend, but I was able to see her crooked mentality. As I got to know her, I later started to feel a deep fear. I have never mercilessly used violence or threats against women. I may be a person with a lot of shortcomings, but I have never injured others nor have done damage to others for the sake of getting what I want.”

Heechul talked about rumors that he was gay.

In an interview with Yonhap News, he said, "I'm not gay. I like women. But I realized that if I say I'm not and vehemently deny it, it's rude and hurtful to people who are actually gay. It's just a matter of preference, and it's just that everyone is different with different values. I decided I don't care even if people who have prejudices about me think that way."

On the rumors, he said, "Recently, those rumors were posted in the group chat room with Super Junior members and the managers. I was thinking, 'Who is this?' while reading it, and it turned out it was me at the end. The members and I laughed a lot about it. When the label asked if we should counter it, I said no. I'd of course, counter it if they were rumors about me doing illegal things. At first, I didn't like those rumors, so I grew a beard and cut my hair. But recently, I talk about the rumors myself so much that my mother texted me and asked what I'd do if I got caught up in rumors again, haha."

Actor Kang Ha Neul is spreading the word that he is doing fine after an unfortunate hacking incident.

On March 11, Kang Ha Neul took to his Instagram account to share some news with his fans. He wrote a lengthy post, accompanied by a simple photo of an ice cube.

He wrote, “I woke up and am informing everyone that I am alive and well.”

He continued, “Ah, some people who are unaware might be thinking, ‘What is he talking about?’ A few moments ago, a knowledgeable hacker changed my password and so I thought long and hard and remembered my password. Perhaps that was their intent. Thank you to those who were alarmed and contacted me. I apologize to those of you who were shocked.”

The actor showed optimism about the incident, writing, “I don’t use Instagram much, so a lot of people tell me to use it more often. I didn’t listen to them, and it feels like I am being punished for it now, haha. Or maybe it’s telling me to keep everyone updated, so here I am, notifying you all that I am well. I guess there’s a meaning to all of this.”

“Everyone, have a good night. Thank you for everyone who contacted me! P.S. I noticed that I’m following a lot of people after I got hacked. It’s a bit too much to go through and organize all of them. I did go through and get rid of a few people who had peculiar names, but there were too many. I’ll think of this as fate, and let’s get along well~ (Also, sorry that I can’t follow back each and every one of you),” he concluded.

Following this, a representative from his agency also wrote, “It is true that Kang Ha Neul was hacked and we confirmed that he uploaded a statement regarding this directly. He found out about the hacking through a colleague of his. We are not sure about the specific contents of that message. We do not have plans to pursue further actions regarding the hacking. Kang Ha Neul wants to continue to communicate more closely with his fans following this incident. He will work hard to show a good side to his fans.”

GOT7’s Jackson is not feeling well.
