Kim Si-won, a member of the K-pop group Glam, has shared photos of herself attending a BigBang concert following her retirement as a BJ.
Kim recently posted several photos on her SNS with the caption: "BigBang yahoo ♥ (Wrecked my voice — gonna be sick for a few days ...) bigbang. 20th anniversary. BigBang concert. BigBang."
In the photos, Kim appears bare-faced at the concert, holding a panel that reads "BIGANG IS BACK."
BigBang held its "Coupang Play presents BigBang 2026-2027 World Tour XX: Cosmos in Goyang" concert at Goyang Stadium in Ilsan Seo-gu, Goyang, on Friday and Sunday.
Kim made her entertainment industry debut in 2012 as a member of Glam, performing under the stage name Dahee.
In 2014, she demanded 5 billion won ($3.61 million) from actor Lee Byung-hun and others, threatening to release secretly recorded videos of a private drinking gathering online. The footage was reported to contain sexually explicit conversations.
Lee filed a complaint, and Kim was sentenced to one year in prison at trial. She appealed and received a one-year suspended sentence with a two-year probation period.
After the incident, she changed her stage name from Dahee to Kim Si-won and built a large following as a BJ on AfreecaTV, now known as Soop. She retired in 2024, having earned about 2.4 billion won in 2023 alone.
