This week in Hallyu news, BTS’ SUGA was questioned by the police regarding his DUI case involving an electric scooter, while BLACKPINK’s Lisa was confirmed to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024. Additionally, the defamation lawsuit against BTS’ V and Jungkook filed by controversial YouTuber Sojang had its first hearing. Here’s a detailed look at the week’s major events in the entertainment world.

BTS’ SUGA Appears for Police Questioning

On August 23, 2024, BTS’ SUGA appeared at the Yongsan Police Station for questioning related to his DUI case. The rapper had been reported driving an electric scooter under the influence on August 6, 2024. During his appearance, SUGA bowed in front of the media and issued a public apology. He also posted a second apology on Weverse, addressing his fans and the public.

“I am deeply sorry for my actions and the trouble I have caused,” SUGA stated.

Contrary to earlier reports, his appearance was confirmed for August 23, not August 22.

BLACKPINK’s Lisa to Perform at MTV Video Music Awards 2024

On August 21, 2024, it was officially announced that BLACKPINK’s Lisa will be performing at the MTV Video Music Awards 2024, set to take place on September 12, 2024. Fans are also speculating that Rosalía, who recently collaborated with Lisa on the track “New Woman,” might make a surprise appearance.

“Lisa’s performance at the MTV VMAs will be a highlight of the event,” said a representative from BLACKPINK’s management.

YouTuber Sojang vs. BTS’ V and Jungkook

The legal battle between BTS’ V and Jungkook and the controversial YouTuber Sojang began with its first hearing on August 23, 2024, at the 12th Civil Division of the Seoul Western District Court. The lawsuit, filed in March 2024, accuses Sojang of defamation by spreading false information about the BTS members.

“Sojang’s videos contained misleading information aimed at profiting from falsehoods about our artists,” stated a representative from BIGHIT MUSIC.

Sojang’s defense argues that the content was intended as opinion, not defamation.

Pachinko Season 2 Premieres

The highly anticipated Pachinko Season 2 premiered on August 23, 2024. The series, based on the novel by Min Jin Lee, explores the life of a Korean immigrant family over four generations and their struggles.

“Pachinko Season 2 continues the compelling story of resilience and survival,” noted the show’s producers.

Seo Ye Ji Resumes Work After Hiatus

Seo Ye Ji made her first public appearance in two years at an event for a cosmetic brand on August 23, 2024. The actress, known for her roles in “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” and “Lawless Lawyer,” had been on hiatus since 2021 due to controversies including school bullying accusations and a dating scandal with actor Kim Jung Hyun.

“I am excited to reconnect with my fans and return to my career,” Seo Ye Ji remarked.
