Before the dance, however, the girls had to receive a quirky punishment of getting flour dumped above their heads. But when the flour came down, they discovered that only poor Wendy had been attacked! Nevertheless, Wendy rocked her 'new look', and the girls perfected the choreography to "Power Up" covered in flour. Watch the video above!

Picture
​According to media outlets on August 4, it's been determined that former 2NE1 member CL is not suffering from any health issues. 

Back on August 3, concerns for CL's health arose as she sported some drastic weight gain at Incheon airport. However, reporters state that rather than due to health issues, the singer is simply still adjusting to her new home. 

In spring of this year, CL decided to move her home to the U.S, in order to immerse herself more into her U.S. debut preparations. As a result, she was unable to make time for a balanced diet and exercise. 

Media outlets also reported that CL's alleged friction with her label YG Entertainment is not true. Sources claim that CL recently met up with Yang Hyun Suk in order to discuss her schedules. 

Meanwhile, CL is currently awaiting the premiere of her Hollywood film, 'Mile 22', this August.

After Super Junior D&E's comeback on August 16, reports say that a full group comeback with Ryeowook is next up. 

Ryeowook was recently discharged from his mandatory military service in July. Super Junior then headed out to Macao to film their full group comeback MV. However, Heechul will not be participating in the September group promotions, either, in order to focus on his health.

Just recently, Holland made a comeback with the twin single "I'm Not Afraid" and "I'm So Afraid". Fans grew frustrated when YouTube initially gave an 'R' rating to the new MVs. The age restriction was lifted shortly after, however, it seems YouTube has put the age restrictions back. Some fans criticized the age requirement, commenting, "Holland doesn't deserve this", "It's not your fault", "We need to fight YouTube."
