Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review. Here’s all the news you might have missed this week:

Headlines

Following the charges that were made against him, actor Lee Seo-won has pleaded guilty to the accusations of threatening and sexual harassment made against him. The defense is, however, requesting a lenient sentence due to his alleged diminished mental and physical state at the time of the offence.
Real-time music charts have made significant changes. The Gaon Chart Music Policy Committee (consisting of Naver Music, Melon, Soribada.com, Bugs, Genie, and Mnet.com) will “freeze” charts from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m., which is supposedly the time period during which the most chart manipulation occurs. Through this change, the goal is to reduce the amount of chart manipulation as groups of fans usually collectively stream tracks on repeat during the early hours of the day to raise counts.
BTS‘ Jimin has been threatened with death threats for the third time, threatening his safety ahead of their concert in Los Angeles on September 5. Big Hit Entertainment has responded that they would continue to take necessary measures and keep a close lookout, as they did in the prior two instances last year and earlier this year.
