[스포츠서울 | 정하은기자] In the second week of October, the entertainment industry had a noisy week with false controversies and various rumors. Group BTS member V was embroiled in an absurd dating rumor, and singer Choi Seong-bong, who was recently told of a sad situation due to a cancer battle, was embroiled in false cancer-fighting allegations.

#BTS V, untimely dating rumors
Group BTS V was caught up in rumors that he is in a relationship with the daughter of Philip Jeon, chairman of Paradise Group, a hotel and leisure company. A photo of the two of them together at the Korea International Art Fair 2021 VVIP preview event, which opened at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 13th, has recently spread through online communities and SNS, and rumors have spread. In this regard, BTS’ agency Hive denied that “the former chairman’s family and V are just acquaintances.” In particular, it is known that many celebrities such as actor Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung, Lee Seung-gi, Sung Yu-ri, and broadcaster Noh Hong-cheol visited the event.

# Choi Seong-bong, falsely accused of fighting cancer
Singer Seongbong Choi is embroiled in controversy over false cancer. Choi Seong-bong, who debuted as runner-up on tvN’s ‘Korea’s Got Talent’ in 2011, announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, prostate pressure, hypothyroidism and thyroid cancer through a health checkup in May last year. Netizens also delivered a donation to Choi Seong-bong, expressing their desire to make their first mini-album into a CD. However, recently, Choi Seong-bong was embroiled in suspicion of a false cancer battle, and rumors were raised. Choi Seong-bong released his diagnosis through SNS, but in some areas, it was revealed that Choi Seong-bong used the donations for luxury and entertainment, and the wave is getting bigger. As the controversy grew, Choi Seong-bong did a live broadcast suggesting an extreme choice, but fortunately, paramedics were dispatched and it did not lead to a major accident. So far, Choi Seong-bong has remained silent.

The 5th Division of the Daegu District Court’s Criminal Court sentenced Wheesung to 1 year in prison and 2 years of probation, as in the original trial, for violating the narcotics management law. He was also ordered to complete 40 hours of social service and drug therapy lectures each and a fine of 65 million won. The Gyeongbuk National Police Agency confirmed the suspicion of Wheesung’s purchase of propofol in April last year and sent it to the prosecution with an opinion of indictment.

#’Reunion with Lee Young-don’ Hwang Jung-eum, second pregnancy
