@ChinaMusicData@kchartsmaster It's normal everywhere in the world. U broke the contract, u pay penalty. She has big future under hybe who provides resources for their successes. But she has to listen to that mama witch who poisoned their minds. That greedy woman wants to take all credit for NJ
@Ckant72 Please don't use the word 'CONFIRMED'. He didnt confirm anything. Just teasing with the words 'namaste INDIAN ARMY'. He often uses, 'namaste'. Any confirmations shud come from the company.

To celebrate Taehyung's birthday, we will display a 6-meter custom giant doll at Yeouido Hangang Park, one of the busiest areas in Seoul. The doll will be placed in front of the Hangang Cruise Terminal, the parkโs iconic landmark and one of Seoulโs core attractions.
The site for the doll is undoubtedly the prime spot with the highest traffic in Hangang Park. This location has never hosted any fan support project before, making Taehyung the first artist who has a fan support event held in this core area of Seoul.
At the same time, the new 3-sided Giant Panoramic Screen will also display promotions for Taehyung. As one of the key new projects following the launch of the Hangang Bus, this Panoramic Screen is the park's only outdoor large display and a popular advertising platform among high-end brands.

- V Ignites PARADISE CITY Casino Billions โ 9th Gig Mirrors CELINE's 591% Profit Blast Across ASIA
- V's hospitality debut coincides with ยฃ316m SEOUL hotel investment targeting CHINESE high-rollers & young travellers
1๏ธโฃ On Dec 1, 2025, #V was announced as PARADISE CITY's global ambassador, a strategic move to leverage V's immense influence.
The appointment aims to replicate the explosive growth, V has delivered for luxury brands such as CELINE & CARTIER.
The announcement was accompanied by videos shared across the resort's social channels, coinciding with the company's strongest financial performance in recent years.
2๏ธโฃ According to the WORLD CASINO DIRECTORY, S. KOREA's PARADISE Co finished 2024 with a notable 10.2% growth in casino revenue, reaching โฉ818.8 bil (ยฃ556 mil).
In Mar 2025, PARADISE Co announced a major investment planโโฉ575 bil (ยฃ316 mil)โto build a new hotel in SEOUL's JANGCHUNG area, aiming for a 2028 opening.
This development is the company's largest investment in recent years. The hotel will be 18 stories tall, with approx 200 rooms & 5 basement levels, covering 13,950 mยฒ, as reported by ASIA GAMING BRIEF.
3๏ธโฃ CEO CHOI JONG-HWAN expressed optimism at a press conference held at PARADISE CITY in INCHEON: "If the JAPANESE market has progressed significantly, I believe there is now substantial potential in the CHINESE market"
4๏ธโฃ The V-EFFECT: Proven Economics
V's appointment as ambassador follows S.KOREA's easing of visa restrictions for CHINESE tourists. Since Sept 29, 2024, CHINESE group tourists can enter S.KOREA visa-free for up to 15 days, with the programme running until Jun 30, 2026.
CGTN reports that S.KOREA welcomed 16.37 mil international visitors in 2024 with 4.6 mil (28.1%) coming from CHINA โthe largest share of any country. This influx presents a significant opportunity for PARADISE CITY to capitalise on CHINESE tourism.
#V's track record demonstrates the potential economic benefits of his ambassadorial role.
โช๏ธFollowing his appointment at COMPOSE COFFEE,
โ Net profit jump 186% to โฉ47.9 bil (ยฃ27.8 mil)
โ The brand's mobile app gained 2.6 mil new users shortly after announcement
โ On track to surpass 3,000 stores nationwide this year

โ Revenue exceeded ยฃ158 mil (โฉ307 bil) by 2024 end
โ Within just 12 months, the brand's growth outpaced luxury peers like LOUIS VUITTON, HERMรS, CHANEL & ROLEX
5๏ธโฃ Opened in 2016, PARADISE CITY is located on YEONGJONGDO Island in INCHEON, about an hour from SEOUL. The complex includes hotels, a casino, spas, indoor waterpark, convention facilities, retail spaces & restaurants. It is often dubbed the LAS VEGAS OF ASIA due to its scale & luxury offerings.
The resort's core philosophy revolves around Art-tainmentโa fusion of art & entertainment designed to create unique cultural experiences.
6๏ธโฃ In Sept, V attended the FRIEZE SEOUL 2025 opening at PARADISE CITY Art Space, INCHEON.
When asked by EYESMAG about similarities between himself & PARADISE CITY, V replied: "Just looking at it is already amazing, right? Undeniable. It's flashy yet fun. The more u get to know it, the more charming it becomes. I think that might be what it has in common with me"
7๏ธโฃ V completed his military service in Jun 2025, making this his 1st major entertainment & hospitality deal since then. He now serves as ambassador for 8 brands, including COCA-COLA KOREA, SIMINVEST, CELINE, COMPOSE COFFEE, SNOWPEAK, CARTIER, TIRTIR & YUNTH.
PARADISE CITY marks his 9th major endorsement, cementing his status as S.KOREA's most commercially valuable cultural export. PARADISE Co's partnership with V aims to merge K-pop's global reach with the resort's luxury brand.
8๏ธโฃ Industry analysts suggest #V's appointment will further enhance PARADISE CITY's appeal among Gen-Z travellers & international tourists.
