Seulong takes a kingly nap on the set of 'Mandate of Heaven'

Seulong enjoyed a 'kingly' nap on the set of 'Mandate of Heaven'!

He tweeted, "I became a king, but I'm so sleepy". It looks like he was spotted taking a snooze during break, but what made it hilarious was that he was still dressed like his character King Lee Ho. The combination of the hot weather, continuous filming and his heavy clothes must have taken a toll as he dozed off on a chair.

Also, judging by this picture as well as the upside down photos with Swings and Crybaby, it looks like Seulong is making it his thing to not upload photos rightside up!

Se7en reported to have applied as a celebrity soldier from the very beginning

Lately in South Korea, all eyes have been on the celebrity recruits and related issues of the military. Although it might not feel like such a significant issue for those unfamiliar with Korea and its mandatory military service, it is one that hits home for pretty much every citizen there as they all have family members that have served, will serve, or are currently serving as a soldier. So it comes as no surprise that more information is being dug up everyday and being reported in the media.

The latest piece of news that has sparked attention is whether Se7en applied to be a celebrity recruit from the very beginning, or whether he was transferred to that department after deciding to go in as a regular recruit. 

Although it was said back when the singer was enlisting that he would serve as a rifleman, aka a regular soldier with no celebrity privileges, his agency YG Entertainment later remarked that there is a high possibility that Se7en's position may be changed since the military had been showing interest in bringing him on board the promotional department for the military. Soon after his basic training, a statement was released revealing that Se7en's position had been changed. 

However, it is now being reported that his position wasn't really 'changed' as Se7en had applied to be a celebrity recruit from the very beginning.

In a phone call with Ajoo Economy, a rep from the Ministry of Defense said, "Even before he started his 4-week basic training, he applied to be a celebrity soldier. He was being reviewed while he was undergoing his basic training and was approved and confirmed as a celebrity soldier," revealing that Se7en had become a celebrity soldier as soon as his basic training ended.

This piece of information is being met with more disappointment from the public, since at first, they had believed that Se7en had been switched from a regular recruit to a celebrity recruit only because of the military's decision, only to now learn that the singer himself had applied from the very beginning to become a celebrity recruit.

INFINITE's Sunggyu apologizes for his statement about women in their 30s

INFINITE's Sunggyu has apologized for his statement about women in their 30s.

He tweeted, "Hello. This is Sunggyu. The situation is not a controversy or misunderstanding. It's completely my fault. I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been disappointed or hurt by my careless words. I'll reflect [on my words] with a humble heart, realize [what I've done], and be more respectful towards people."

The apology came about after a behind-the-scenes clip of 'Genius: Rules of the Game' was released. During a conversation with Park Eun Ji and Lee Sang Min, Sunggyu made a comment about women becoming 'yomul' after she reaches the age of 30. 'Yomul' is a term that means deceitful, sly, or wicked, and when it's aimed towards women, it's a term that describes a woman who is good at luring in men for her benefit.

What do you think about the situation?
