Jeon Somi to return with digital single in July: report
Jeon Somi is poised to make a comeback with a digital single in July, local media reported Thursday. Her agency The Black Label confirmed the news report on Friday, adding that she will put out the track 'Extra' on July 7. The label also unvieled a batch of black-and-white photographs of Jeon sporting a chin-length bob in platinum blonde. The upcoming single comes a year after her summer anthem 'Ice Cream,' a summer special dance number from 2024. On July 19, the performer will host a meet-and-greet in Seoul. She is planning a party-like event under the title 'Chaos.' Separately, speculations are rising that her former group I.O.I may reunite in time to mark the 10th anniversary of its debut. The group debuted in 2016 with 11 finalists from the audition show 'Produce 101.' Jeon was the top contestant of the project group, which disbanded in 2017.

Ex-history lecturer offers W1 billion reward for election fraud tip-off
Jeon Han-gil, a former history lecturer turned right-wing figure, said he would pay 1 billion won ($728,000) for a decisive tip-off related to alleged election fraud. In a video uploaded Tuesday on his YouTube channel, Jeon said, 'Send me any decisive tip-offs, whistleblower reports or evidence materials about a rigged election. If it's to save South Korea, I'm willing to give 1 billion won from my own assets. I will definitely keep this promise.' Jeon added, 'Even President Lee Jae Myung will like this,' saying he is formally proposing the idea to the president, former People Power Party presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo and media outlets. Last month, Jeon co-produced and released a documentary film "Korean Election Fraud, God's Will?," which centers on claims of fraud in last year's general election. He viewed the film at a theater with former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has also raised allegations of election fraud.

Picture of Trump 'bestowing medal to S.Korean activist' is doctored
"At first I thought he was full of hot air, but then I saw this photo where Jeon Han-gil received a medal directly from President Trump and I began to believe Trump really is behind him," reads part of the Korean-language caption of a collage shared on Facebook on June 11, 2025. "Lee Jae-myung's government should realise that if it messes with Jeon, it will become enemies with President Trump." The post refers to activist Jeon's claims that the United States would come to his aid if South Korea's newly elected president Lee Jae-myung targets him for supporting for impeached leader Yoon Suk Yeol (archived link). The collage shows various screenshots of Jeon talking about Trump's supposed support and a larger image of him apparently receiving a medal from the US president (archived link). The same collage was shared in several Facebook groups supporting conservative politicians. "Wow, an award from Trump himself -- you are a hero to the Republic of Korea," reads a comment on one of the posts. "Any time a South Korean receives an award abroad should be a cause for great celebration," says another. But the image purportedly showing Trump giving Jeon a medal is a fabrication. A combination of keyword and reverse image searches led to a photo taken by a New York Times photographer on November 16, 2018 (archived link). The photo is captioned: "President Trump gave a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Miriam Adelson -- a doctor and philanthropist who, along with her husband, Sheldon Adelson, is a substantial donor to Republican candidates." Footage from the event was also posted on CBS News's YouTube channel, with the moment Trump awards Adelson the medal -- the highest US civilian award -- at the video's 25:05 mark (archived link). Adelson is listed among the official recipients of the medal on the Trump White House website (archived link). Jeon's name does not appear on the list. The image of Jeon used in the doctored image matches his profile picture from the website of a civil service cram school, where he previously taught Korean history (archived link). AFP has previously debunked other doctored images involving Trump and South Korean political figures, including similar manipulated visuals falsely showing Trump in a video conference with Yoon.
