CL is going to JAIL?! Eunwoo accused of evading 20 BILLION KW in taxes, BLACKPINK album leaked

The K-pop world is EXPLODING with shocking news! From BLACKPINK's highly anticipated album potentially being LEAKED to Cha Eunwoo facing the BIGGEST tax scandal in Korean celebrity history, and CL heading to prosecutors over her agency—this is the tea you NEED to know!

BLACKPINK officially announced their highly anticipated comeback album "Deadline" dropping February 27th, 2026, and pre-sales completely sold out in just 25 minutes! However, the BLACKPINK comeback has been overshadowed by alleged album leaks circulating online, with fans claiming they've spotted the full Deadline tracklist including a rumored Bebe Rexha collaboration on a track called "Fit For." BLINKs are divided between excitement for new BLACKPINK music and frustration over potential spoilers ruining the surprise.

Meanwhile, ASTRO member Cha Eunwoo is facing the biggest Korean celebrity tax scandal in history after being accused of evading 20 billion won, which equals approximately $13.6 million USD. Korean authorities claim Cha Eunwoo and his mother established a "paper company" to split his Fantagio earnings and pay lower corporate tax rates instead of personal income tax, and this tax evasion case could completely destroy his career as Korea's golden boy. In other breaking news, 2NE1 legend CL has been referred to prosecutors by Seoul police for operating her solo entertainment agency Very Cherry for over 5 years without proper legal registration, and she now faces up to 2 years in prison or hefty fines under South Korea's Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act.

Adding to the controversy, rookie girl group KATSEYE is making history as the first girl group to perform at the Grammy Awards in 24 years since Destiny's Child, but K-pop fans and the internet are completely divided over whether KATSEYE actually deserves this Grammy performance slot or if HYBE bought their way in.
