박경, 선후배 가수들에 "사재기" 실명 비판…소속사 사과
보이그룹 블락비 출신 가수 박경(27)이 선후배 가수 실명을 거론하며 '음원 사재기' 의혹을 제기했다.박경은 주요 음원 차트 상위권에 오른 선배 보컬그룹과 솔로 가수 등 6명의 실명을 언급한 뒤 "이들처럼 음원 사재기 좀 하고 싶다"는 글을 자신의 SNS에 24일 게재했다. 현재 이 글은 지워진 상태다.박경이 글에서 언급한 가수들은 새 노래를 발매할 때마다 음원 차트 상위권을 장악했다. 최근 음원사이트 차트에서 일부 곡이 갑작스럽게 반등하는 등의 현상이 벌어지면서 사재기 의혹이 음악시장 현안으로 떠오르기도 했다.그러나 현직 가수가 동료 가수 실명을 공개적으로 밝히며 음원 사재기 의혹을 직격하는 것은 이례적이어서 파장이 예상된다.소속사 세븐시즌스는 이날 오후 공식 입장문을 내 "박경은 특정인의 명예를 훼손하려는 의도는 없었으며 현 가요계 음원 차트의 상황에 대해 발언을 한 것"이라고 밝혔다.이어 "직접적이고 거친 표현으로 관계자분들께 불편을

美 LA공항 이륙한 보잉 777기, 엔진 화염 휩싸인 채 회항
지난 21일(이하 현지시간) 미국 캘리포니아주 로스앤젤레스 국제공항(LAX)에서 출발한 필리핀항공 소속 보잉 777 여객기가 이륙 직후 엔진 폭발로 기체 일부에 화염이 붙은 채로 급히 회항했다고 CNN방송이 23일 보도했다.필리핀 마닐라로 향하던 이 비행기는 운항 도중 엔진 고장을 일으켰으나 다행히 사상자 없이 회항해 비상 착륙하는 데 성공했다고 미 연방항공청이 전했다. 탑승객과 목격자들이 올린 소셜미디어 영상에는 기체 날개 쪽 엔진 한 기가 화염에 휩싸인 채 날아가는 여객기 모습이 잡혔다.탑승객 애덤 테일러는 날개 쪽 좌석에 앉았다가 엔진에서 불꽃이 튀고 연기가 피어오르는 장면을 담았다.조종석에서는 오른쪽 엔진에 이상이 생겨 비상착륙을 요청한다며 '메이데이' 신호를 관제탑에 보내는 음성이 녹음됐다.한 탑승객은 "이륙한 지 얼마 지나지 않아 '붐, 붐' 하는 소리와 함께 스파크가 튀었다"라고 말했다.
