A shocking tale unfolds about a woman who fell victim to a self-proclaimed billionaire she met on a dating app. Within just eight days of meeting, she filed for marriage and lost hundreds of millions of KRW.
The &#8220;Detectives 24/7&#8221; segment on Channel A&#8217;s hit show &#8220;The Detectives&#8217; Trade Secrets,&#8221; airing at 10 PM on the 22nd, will delve into the incredible story of a 40-something woman duped into a fraudulent marriage by a man with a fabricated impressive background and false claims of wealth.
The client, eager to tie the knot this year, connected with a man on a dating app recommended by a friend. He made quite an impression on their first date, arriving with financial newspapers and books, boasting about his celebrity connections from his alleged event company days, and claiming ownership of three prime Seoul properties. His smooth talk left the client thoroughly convinced.

But the facade quickly crumbled. From day two, he persistently asked for money, citing investment opportunities. Whenever she expressed doubt, he&#8217;d push for marriage and even orchestrated a call with his supposed mother to ease her concerns. The clincher? A screenshot of a bank balance showing a whopping 26.4 billion KRW (17.16 million USD), which obliterated any lingering suspicions.
Trusting him completely, the client handed over 25 million KRW (16,250 USD). Astonishingly, they filed for marriage just eight days after meeting. Post-nuptial agreement signed, she wired an additional 50 million KRW (32,500 USD). But as soon as they were legally hitched, the man&#8217;s true colors emerged with increasingly outrageous demands.
Realizing she&#8217;d been conned, the client sought help from detectives with barely a month left to file for annulment.
In a star-studded twist, the episode features Lee Min-woo of Shinhwa, Korea&#8217;s longest-running boy band, as a guest detective. Now a doting dad of two, Lee gushes, &#8220;Marriage is bliss. I should&#8217;ve done it sooner!&#8221; He proudly shares his hands-on parenting approach, from school runs to diaper duty.
Lee also dishes on the viral moment from his wedding &#8211; a father-daughter dance to Shinhwa&#8217;s hit &#8220;Wild Eyes.&#8221; &#8220;I only showed her twice, but she&#8217;s a natural,&#8221; he beams. Fellow panelist Kim Poong chimes in, &#8220;We might see a father-daughter idol duo like Park Nam-jung and STAYC&#8217;s Si-eun!&#8221;
Tune in to Channel A&#8217;s &#8220;The Detectives&#8217; Trade Secrets&#8221; this Monday at 10 PM to uncover the con artist&#8217;s true identity and witness Lee Min-woo&#8217;s endearing dad moments.


             A woman was deceived by a self-proclaimed billionaire she met on a dating app, resulting in a marriage registration and financial loss. 
        

How a Woman Was Deceived by a Self-Proclaimed Billionaire: Shocking Marriage Scam Revealed!

<h2>Online public opinion has once again brought attention to a case of celebrity DM flirting. Views are split between seeing it as innocent expressions of interest and concerns about celebrity influence. In today&#8217;s social media era, even private matters can quickly become public fodder.</h2>
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr/image/2026/06/CP-2022-0047/image-7ed4dedb-575b-45c8-b1a1-76d88e0a9d50.jpeg" alt="  Source: MHN" /><figcaption>  Source: MHN</figcaption></figure>
(MHN Senior Reporter Lee Seung-woo) A celebrity sent a DM to a non-celebrity. On the surface, it might not seem like a big deal. Celebrities can also be attracted to someone, and social media has already become the most common means of communication.
But public reaction is far from simple these days.
Recently, online communities have been buzzing about male celebrities&#8217; so-called &#8220;DM flirting.&#8221; As past controversies surrounding popular male group A and captures related to famous actor B have been brought up again, the discussion has shifted from questioning the authenticity of these DMs to examining &#8220;to what extent can we consider it natural for celebrities to approach non-celebrities?&#8221;
The issue isn&#8217;t just about the DMs themselves, but who&#8217;s sending them. A conversation that might be seen as a simple expression of interest between regular people takes on a different interpretation when the sender is a famous celebrity.
When the recipient is a fan, things get even trickier. Some see it as harmless flirting, while others argue that it&#8217;s difficult to view the relationship between a celebrity and a fan as purely personal.
This is where public opinion splits. One camp asks, &#8220;What&#8217;s the big deal if two adults are exchanging DMs?&#8221;
They argue that without evidence of coercion or illegal activity, scrutinizing private conversations is overreach. Some even question whether celebrities should have to curb their romantic feelings or personal expressions of interest just because of their status.
But the other side raises valid concerns too. While a celebrity reaching out first might be thrilling for some, it could be burdensome for others.
That&#8217;s why each time similar cases are repeatedly made public, the controversy shifts from the content of the messages to the nature of the relationship. People are more interested in how the contact was made than in the few lines of the DM.
When screenshots go public, the controversy explodes for this reason. People examine not just the content of the conversation, but also how the celebrity&#8217;s position might have influenced the relationship.
It wasn&#8217;t always like this. In the past, encounters between celebrities and non-celebrities were often consumed as romantic stories. The fact that a star reached out first was accepted as a special experience, and the public generally didn&#8217;t raise much issue with it.
But now it&#8217;s different. Social media has bridged the gap between celebrities and non-celebrities, but it&#8217;s also created a structure where private actions can become subject to public scrutiny at any time. A DM might start as a private conversation between two people, but with one screenshot, it becomes an issue judged by hundreds of thousands. The boundary between private life and the public sphere has essentially collapsed.
In recent years, people have become much more nuanced in how they view relationships between celebrities and non-celebrities. What might have once been seen as personal interest is now scrutinized through the lens of influence and position.
The relationships between &#8216;fans and stars&#8217;, &#8216;seniors and juniors&#8217;, or &#8216;celebrities and non-celebrities&#8217; are no longer seen as simple personal connections. Now, people consider not just &#8220;what was said,&#8221; but also &#8220;from what position it was said.&#8221;
That said, we can&#8217;t vilify every DM. If we start criticizing every expression of personal interest, celebrities would essentially have no private lives. The real issue isn&#8217;t the existence of DMs themselves. It&#8217;s closer to how the way contact is made, the context, and the social standards for viewing these have changed from before.
This debate isn&#8217;t just gossip about male celebrities&#8217; DM flirting. It&#8217;s closer to a timely question about how much we should respect celebrities&#8217; privacy, and how much responsibility comes with the influence that famous people have.
A DM might be just a private message. But when that message is sent by a celebrity who lives off public love, the story changes.
In the past, saying &#8220;Celebrities are human too&#8221; might have been enough.
Not anymore. Today&#8217;s public tries to balance respect for celebrities&#8217; privacy with an awareness of their influence. Maybe that&#8217;s why a single DM can spark such controversy – it might be in that changed perspective.


             The controversy over celebrities' DM flirting highlights the blurred lines between private and public life in the social media era. 
        

Are Celebrity DMs Crossing the Line? Exploring the Impact of Fame on Personal Relationships

<h2>Choi Soo-young Dives into Theater After 14-Year Romance Ends: Starring as Portia in &#8216;The Merchant of Venice&#8217;</h2>

Girls&#8217; Generation&#8217;s Choi Soo-young is laser-focused on her career following the end of her high-profile 14-year relationship, showcasing her dedication through rigorous self-discipline.
On June 20, the YouTube channel &#8220;Hyo&#8217;s Level Up&#8221; dropped the latest episode of the &#8220;Hyo-Li-Soo Debut Project,&#8221; featuring the unit&#8217;s members Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung.
During the video, Sooyoung playfully bemoaned her strict diet regimen, saying, &#8220;Poor Sooyoung eats boiled eggs every day. It&#8217;s so sad! Just eggs and scorched rice. After all that grueling practice too!&#8221;
She then revealed the reason behind her stringent meal plan, citing her current theater project. &#8220;I&#8217;m knee-deep in rehearsals for &#8216;The Merchant of Venice,'&#8221; Sooyoung explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m playing Portia at the National Theater from July 8. She&#8217;s a princess from a noble family, so I can&#8217;t risk gaining any facial weight. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m sticking to eggs.&#8221;
&#8220;The Merchant of Venice,&#8221; a Shakespearean comedy renowned for its intense courtroom drama, boasts a star-studded cast including Shin Gu, Park Geun-hyung, Lee Seung-joo, Kai, and Won Jin-ah alongside Sooyoung. Her character, Portia, is the witty and wise heiress of Belmont who plays a pivotal role in the courtroom scenes.
In other news, Choi Soo-young officially confirmed her split from actor Jung Kyung-ho on June 9. Her agency, Saram Entertainment, stated, &#8220;Choi Soo-young and Jung Kyung-ho have indeed parted ways but remain on good terms.&#8221; The couple, who began dating in 2012 and were celebrated as one of the entertainment industry&#8217;s most enduring pairs, ended their romantic relationship after nearly 14 years. Despite the breakup, Sooyoung is keeping busy with her appearance on the variety show &#8220;What Do You Do When You Play?&#8221; and her preparations for the upcoming theater production.

<h2>Expressing disappointment, saying &#8220;I followed you but you didn&#8217;t hold the door,&#8221; Joo Sang Wook explained, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t know.&#8221;</h2>
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr/image/2026/06/CP-2022-0047/image-cdb7724a-b880-4e80-8334-ed1641aff617.jpeg" alt=" Source: Channel \'Cha Ye Ryun\'" /><figcaption> Source: Channel &#8216;Cha Ye Ryun&#8217;</figcaption></figure>
Actress Cha Ye-ryeon recently opened up about a moment of disappointment she experienced with her husband, actor Joo Sang-wook.
On May 11th, Channel &#8216;Cha Ye-ryeon&#8217; uploaded a video titled &#8220;Must-Watch Before Marriage: &#8217;10-Year Couple&#8217;s Advice: Enjoy Single Life Longer&#8217; &#8211; Marriage Counseling Session.&#8221;
During the episode, Cha Ye-ryeon and Joo Sang-wook addressed viewers&#8217; relationship concerns. Cha took this opportunity to share a personal anecdote about feeling let down by her husband.
Responding to a viewer&#8217;s worry about her boyfriend&#8217;s changed behavior, Cha admitted, &#8220;I&#8217;ve also had moments of disappointment with my husband.&#8221;
She elaborated, &#8220;There were times when I was following him, and he wouldn&#8217;t hold the door for me, just going in by himself. It really bothered me. This happened a few times.&#8221;
Joo defended himself, saying, &#8220;Viewers might misunderstand. When I opened the door and went in, I just assumed Ye-ryeon was right behind me.&#8221; Cha humorously fired back, &#8220;What kind of excuse is that? Am I invisible?&#8221; drawing laughter from the audience.
Joo, maintaining that men need clear communication, advised, &#8220;Next time, explicitly say, &#8216;Don&#8217;t go ahead, stay beside me.'&#8221; He further explained, &#8220;It&#8217;s not about a lack of love; it&#8217;s just thoughtlessness.&#8221;
As they wrapped up the counseling session, the couple offered some heartfelt advice about married life.
Cha emphasized, &#8220;You need to learn to let go of certain things and live considerately.&#8221; Joo added, &#8220;Marriage requires sacrifice. It&#8217;s about sharing half of your life.&#8221; Cha also encouraged viewers to &#8220;break free from societal pressures about marriage and children, and focus on living happily,&#8221; offering warm support as a more experienced partner.
Joo Sang-wook and Cha Ye-ryeon first met on the set of the 2015 MBC drama &#8216;Glamorous Temptation.&#8217; After a year of dating, they tied the knot in 2017 and are now proud parents to a daughter.

10 Years of Marriage: Chae Yeon Reveals Surprising Moments with Joo Sang Wook

<h2>Sana Speaks Out: &#8220;It Wasn&#8217;t the Look I Intended&#8221; Fashion Interpretation Sparks Debate Celebrities Now Race Against Misunderstandings, Not Just Incidents</h2>
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr/image/2026/06/CP-2022-0047/image-c82488f1-adbb-48e6-b518-78f2bdef166e.jpeg" alt="  Source: MHN DB" /><figcaption>  Source: MHN DB</figcaption></figure>
TWICE&#8217;s Sana addresses recent fashion controversy, highlighting the challenges of modern celebrity image management.
At a pop-up event in Seoul on June 18, TWICE member Sana wore a dress with a striking floral pattern. Photos from the event quickly circulated online, with some viewers commenting on the apparently revealing nature of the outfit.
The incident rapidly escalated into a heated debate. While some defended it as a fashion statement, others criticized it as a potential wardrobe malfunction. The focus shifted from the overall design to specific, potentially misleading snapshots.
In response, Sana took to a fan platform to explain: &#8220;During the fitting, I made sure the dress wasn&#8217;t open in the middle. At the event, I was too distracted to check. I&#8217;m upset I couldn&#8217;t present the look as intended.&#8221;
Controversies surrounding female idols&#8217; fashion choices are nothing new. What&#8217;s bold to some is inappropriate to others, a debate that has persisted for years.
However, this incident stands out not just for the outfit itself, but for how it reveals the varying interpretations of fashion in today&#8217;s media landscape.
Sana&#8217;s dress was designed to accentuate its floral pattern and silhouette. Yet, certain photos gave the impression of an overly revealing outfit, even suggesting wardrobe malfunctions. This shift in focus from overall styling to isolated moments fueled the controversy.
The same outfit elicited drastically different reactions: some saw trendy fashion, others a styling mishap. This disparity in fashion interpretation became the crux of the debate.
Sana&#8217;s statement about not achieving her intended look speaks volumes. It underscores the gap between a celebrity&#8217;s intended image and public perception &#8211; the real heart of this controversy.
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr/image/2026/06/CP-2022-0047/image-ee0969a6-580f-4590-be49-0ca5e6e0ed15.jpeg" alt="  Source: MHN DB" /><figcaption>  Source: MHN DB</figcaption></figure>
This case is noteworthy not just for the outfit, but for how it was handled. Sana&#8217;s direct response exemplifies the evolving crisis management landscape in entertainment.
While celebrities have long faced fashion controversies, today&#8217;s digital age has changed the game. In the past, traditional media acted as gatekeepers, vetting stories before they reached the public.
Now, social media and online forums drive public opinion. A single photo or brief clip can ignite a firestorm, with celebrities often judged by isolated moments rather than complete context.
This controversy followed that pattern. Specific images spread faster than overall event coverage or outfit details, spawning numerous interpretations before the subject could even respond.
This explains the growing trend of celebrities using fan platforms and personal social media to address issues directly.
Once, silence was a viable strategy, allowing controversies to blow over. Today, silence breeds speculation, often amplifying the issue.
Direct, personal explanations now trump waiting for official agency statements. This controversy reveals more about our media environment than Sana&#8217;s outfit.
Today&#8217;s celebrities must manage more than their on-stage presence. They must anticipate how images might be cropped or misinterpreted, and how quickly they can clarify misconceptions.
While past stars battled controversies, today&#8217;s celebrities race against the viral spread of misunderstandings. Sana&#8217;s statement wasn&#8217;t just about her dress &#8211; it was an attempt to bridge the gap between her intentions and public perception.
We live in an era where unintended narratives can solidify as truth faster than facts can be established.


             Sana addressed the outfit controversy, highlighting the gap between her intentions and public perception in today's fast-paced media environment.

<h2>Eric Mun Reveals His More Relaxed Appearance: &#8220;A Robust Physique Deserving a Thumbs Up&#8221;</h2>

Shinhwa member and actor Eric Mun has caught the attention of fans with his noticeably more laid-back appearance.
A Chinese restaurant in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, recently shared on its official social media account that Eric had dined there with his parents.
The restaurant&#8217;s post read, &#8220;Shinhwa&#8217;s Eric visited us today with his parents. In person, he&#8217;s impressively tall and genuinely handsome. He thoroughly enjoyed the food and even gave us a thumbs up, which we greatly appreciated. We were touched that he willingly posed for a photo with us.&#8221;
The shared photos show Eric sporting a cap and a khaki short-sleeve t-shirt. His casual, unembellished outfit exuded a more relaxed vibe than his previous public appearances. Notably, his naturally fuller figure sparked various reactions among fans.
This isn&#8217;t the first time Eric&#8217;s transformed look has made waves. In March, he attended fellow Shinhwa member Lee Min-woo&#8217;s wedding with his wife, Na Hye-mi, and their two sons, drawing attention for his more robust physique.
Eric tied the knot with actress Na Hye-mi in 2017. The couple welcomed their first son in 2023 and their second child last year, making Eric a father of two. He has been prioritizing his family life, focusing on marriage and parenting, which seems to have contributed to his more settled daily routine.
Eric&#8217;s last acting role was in the 2020 MBC drama &#8220;The Spy Who Loved Me.&#8221; As his hiatus from the entertainment industry enters its fifth year, fans are eagerly anticipating news of his next project and his eventual return to the spotlight.


             Eric from Shinhwa was spotted enjoying time with his parents at a restaurant, showcasing a more relaxed and fatherly appearance.

Busan Station&#8217;s Welcome Center saw about 26,000 visitors from October 5th to 15th. The &#8216;Love Song Lounge,&#8217; a hit in Seoul, replicated its success in Haeundae, drawing 100,000 visitors.

<h2>Girls&#8217; Generation&#8217;s Sooyoung Makes First Public Appearance 9 Days After Confirming Breakup</h2>
<figure><img decoding="async" src="https://contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr/image/2026/06/CP-2022-0047/image-190f3f44-4081-4520-98db-13007fdb9b59.jpeg" alt="  Source: MHN DB" /><figcaption>  Source: MHN DB</figcaption></figure>
Choi Sooyoung, Girls&#8217; Generation member and actress, stepped out for her first public event just nine days after confirming her split from actor Jung Kyung-ho.
On June 18, Sooyoung graced the photo wall at the 26th Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Seoul. The star served as an honorary judge for the festival&#8217;s &#8220;Jealousy Is My Strength&#8221; section.
Turning heads in a pristine white dress adorned with striking black rose details, Sooyoung exuded elegance with her sleek updo. She lit up the photo wall with her radiant smile and warm gestures, appearing composed and at ease throughout the event.
This marks Sooyoung&#8217;s first public appearance since announcing her breakup with Jung Kyung-ho. The couple, who went public with their relationship in 2014, confirmed their split on June 9, stating they would remain good friends. Their separation made headlines, given their status as one of the entertainment industry&#8217;s most enduring couples.
Despite the recent breakup, Sooyoung has maintained her professional commitments. On June 13, she participated in a marathon event for the visually impaired, and her presence at the film festival further demonstrates her resilience and dedication to her career.
Since her 2007 debut with Girls&#8217; Generation, Sooyoung has successfully transitioned into acting, with notable roles in projects like &#8220;38 Task Force,&#8221; &#8220;Run On,&#8221; and &#8220;Nam Nam.&#8221; Fans can catch her next on the MBC variety show &#8220;What Do You Do When You Play?&#8221; airing June 20, where she&#8217;ll appear as part of the project group &#8220;Hyori Soo&#8221; alongside fellow members Hyoyeon and Yuri.

&#8220;Police have already come by twice just today.&#8221;
On the night of the 16th, at a grilled gopchang restaurant in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul, owned by Lee Ha-neul of DJ DOC, Lee was seen DJing live on a table in front of his customers. Inside, guests recorded videos on their phones, and several bystanders watched from outside.
According to MHN Sports’ investigation, police were dispatched twice to the location that evening following civilian complaints. Lee Ha-neul performed as a DJ in person for about 90 minutes from dinner time, even broadcasting live from the restaurant.
  
Online, the incident sparked debates, with people questioning, &#8220;Is this the standard for running a regular restaurant?&#8221;, &#8220;Isn’t it akin to an entertainment bar?&#8221; and &#8220;Will this cause another controversy?&#8221;
The venue came under similar scrutiny in February, when both Lee Ha-neul and Jung Jae-yong were shown singing together at an event held by actress Kim Gyu-ri’s fan club. At the time, rumors regarding potential violations of the Food Sanitation Act and business suspension warnings circulated online in relation to the restaurant’s operations.
MHN Sports visited the restaurant to observe the actual atmosphere first-hand.
  
The on-site mood differed from the &#8216;club-like&#8217; image circulating online. While music played continuously, most guests were focused on their meals; some took photos with Lee Ha-neul or filmed his live broadcast. The volume of music heard from outside was in line with what could be expected from an ordinary eatery.
As seen in his live broadcasts, Lee Ha-neul moved from table to table, personally grilling meat, pouring drinks, and conversing with patrons.
Still, opinions remain divided about the appropriateness of hosting a DJ in a general restaurant. Some local residents have reportedly been uncomfortable with the frequent live music and crowds, prompting complaints.
  
Under current Korean Food Sanitation laws, general restaurants are classified as businesses that cook and sell food. While there is no explicit prohibition against simple music playback or the owner DJing, administrative action can be triggered if customers are encouraged to sing, dance, or the venue essentially operates as an entertainment bar.
In legal circles, providing music and permitting entertainment activities are typically viewed as separate issues. The decisive factors are whether the establishment is equipped for nightlife activities and whether customers are allowed to dance or sing on-site.
Regarding the police visit, Lee Ha-neul told MHN Sports, &#8220;When business is good, even minor issues can give rise to complaints. While police officers advised caution at the scene, I felt the term ‘caution’ wasn’t fitting since I hadn’t done anything wrong.&#8221;
  
He added, &#8220;Personally, I viewed this visit as a request for cooperation. The police officers checked the situation and then left.&#8221;
Since the previous controversy, Lee said he has been particularly attentive to his restaurant’s operations.
He noted, &#8220;Because there was also a hygiene-related report, I invested tens of millions of won to upgrade the facilities. As for DJing, I make sure it’s conducted in a way that doesn’t disturb the neighborhood.&#8221;
  
Lee further explained, &#8220;Both the city hall and district office have inspected the site several times, and I regularly consult with my lawyer regarding operations.&#8221;
He continued, &#8220;My understanding is that a restaurant owner playing music is not in itself illegal. However, we carefully manage the business, in consultation with a lawyer, to ensure that customers do not dance or cause disturbances.&#8221;
Regarding his motivations for DJing, he said, &#8220;This is not just a performance—it&#8217;s an extension of spending enjoyable time with guests.&#8221;
  
&#8220;The atmosphere of listening to music and having conversations together is the sense of romance I envision,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;I just wanted to give my customers memories to cherish.&#8221;
However, he noted, &#8220;If this were ever shown to cause actual harm or legal issues, I know I should make improvements. That said, some of the current complaints do seem somewhat exaggerated.&#8221;
During MHN Sports’ visit, passersby greeted Lee Ha-neul or asked for photographs, reflecting his popularity.
  
Meanwhile, Lee Ha-neul is pursuing legal action against certain YouTube content creators who spread false rumors online regarding the alleged suspension of his business in the past.
He concluded, &#8220;I’m already pursuing legal action against specific YouTubers who spread misinformation. While everyone is entitled to their own perspective, I can’t just overlook malicious and false rumors.&#8221;

Comedian Lee Jin-ho is making a rapid recovery after a cerebral hemorrhage, according to OSEN on May 14. The report stated that Lee, who was previously admitted to the intensive care unit, has since been transferred to a general ward where he continues treatment.
As his condition improves, Lee Jin-ho has regained the ability to communicate with those around him. Friends and fellow comedians, including Lee Yong-jin, have been visiting him in the hospital. However, due to the seriousness of his illness, it is expected that a considerable amount of time will be required before he can be discharged.
News of Lee&#8217;s collapse and subsequent hospitalization in the ICU broke on April 9. At the time, his agency released a statement explaining that Lee was regaining consciousness and focusing on his recovery.
  
Additional details have emerged about the urgent circumstances when Lee Jin-ho suffered the hemorrhage. On April 1, also April Fool&#8217;s Day, Kangin—formerly of Super Junior—tried to call Lee but received no response and sensed something was wrong. After multiple attempts went unanswered, Kangin reported the situation to emergency services.
Amid Lee’s health battle, it has also come to light that he is facing severe financial difficulties. Past debts accrued from illegal gambling and the interruption of his broadcasting career have left him unable to pay approximately 28 million won in health insurance premiums since 2023. As a result, Lee now bears the full burden of his intensive care medical expenses out of pocket due to the suspension of his health insurance benefits.

Actor Lee Jong-suk has received an offer to star in the upcoming drama &#8216;Paradise.&#8217;
On May 13, Lee’s agency, Ace Factory, stated to MHN Sports, &#8220;He has been approached for the role and is currently reviewing the offer.&#8221;
&#8216;Paradise&#8217; marks the first new work in five years by screenwriter Kim Su-jin. The drama delves into the story of journalist Kang Chi-young and police officer Cha Jeong-won, who become entangled in an unimaginable incident, subsequently uncovering hidden secrets and truths.
  
Notably, Kim Su-jin previously won the Best Screenplay (TV) award at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards in 2021 for the series &#8216;Beyond Evil.&#8217;
Direction for &#8216;Paradise&#8217; will be handled by Oh Chung-hwan, renowned for his visually striking works such as &#8216;Start-Up&#8217; and &#8216;Melodrama.&#8217; Should Lee Jong-suk accept the project, this would mark his third collaboration with Director Oh, following their work on &#8216;While You Were Sleeping&#8217; and &#8216;Big Mouth.&#8217;
Meanwhile, Lee Jong-suk is soon set to appear in &#8216;Lee Seob&#8217;s Romance,&#8217; where he has been cast as the lead, Tae I-seob.
  
&#8216;Lee Seob&#8217;s Romance&#8217; is a zany office romantic comedy centering around Tae I-seob, a man who wants nothing to do, and Kang Min-kyung, a woman determined to accomplish everything. Tae I-seob is portrayed as a third-generation chaebol who is perfect in all aspects except for love, while Kang Min-kyung, hailed as the secret weapon of TK Group, is his equally accomplished counterpart. The drama is adapted from a popular web novel of the same name.
Previously, Lee Jong-suk greeted viewers in last year’s drama &#8216;Seocho-dong,&#8217; which chronicled the ups and downs of five associate lawyers working in the legal district of Seocho-dong. The series drew attention for its realistic portrayal of young professionals, achieving a peak viewer rating of 7.7 percent.
In addition to his professional endeavors, Lee Jong-suk continues his widely publicized relationship with singer and actress IU. The couple officially confirmed their relationship in December 2022.

The hit SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama &#8220;Sold Out Again Today&#8221; sees Ahn Hyo-seop and Chae Won-bin ending their antagonistic relationship, transitioning into a story of compelling romance.
According to the producers, the May 13 broadcast will captivate viewers by unveiling the evolving relationship between the two leads as they go from a cold first encounter to sharing the same roof. With the show’s ratings lingering at around 2% for the sixth episode, all eyes are on whether this romantic development will trigger a rebound.
▲ Impressive On-Screen Chemistry from Ahn Hyo-seop and Chae Won-bin
  
In episode 6, aired on May 7, Ahn Hyo-seop’s character Matthew Lee showed heartfelt care for Dam Ye-jin, played by Chae Won-bin, whose spirit was crushed after she made the unprecedented call of halting sales during a live home shopping broadcast. This touching dynamic resonated not only with Dam Ye-jin but also with viewers. As a result, the episode recorded a peak rating of 4.1% and an average of 3.1% in the metropolitan area (Nielsen Korea). Internationally, the series scored third place in Netflix’s Global Top 10 for non-English TV shows (as of May 7, 2026).
Dam Ye-jin’s bold decision to declare no sales on live TV sent shockwaves through Hit Home Shopping and the corporate headquarters of Les Toiles, sparking strong viewer backlash and eventually leading to the termination of her contract. The loss left Dam Ye-jin increasingly reliant on sleeping pills, amplifying viewers’ sympathy.
Meanwhile, Matthew Lee, feeling responsible, was determined to prove her innocence. When Dam Ye-jin’s groggy voice and the sound of car horns over the phone raised alarm, Matthew Lee rushed to her side.
  
Unable to bear seeing her collapsed, Matthew Lee brought Dam Ye-jin to Deokpung Village for protection. Locals, seeing her condition firsthand, enthusiastically joined his project to help her reclaim restful sleep.
Matthew Lee cared for every detail of Dam Ye-jin’s daily life, from adjusting her schedule to offering sleep-friendly meals, comfortable bedding, and calming scents. He even installed safety guards on furniture corners to prevent her from injuring herself at night, further warming viewers’ hearts.
As Dam Ye-jin’s routine slowly returned to normal, a new wind began stirring in her heart for Matthew Lee. From his continued encouragement to thoughtful actions, Dam Ye-jin found herself deeply moved and emotionally stirred.
  
One evening, Matthew Lee returned from work to find Dam Ye-jin asleep on the sofa and ensured she was comfortable. Upon waking, Dam Ye-jin spontaneously kissed him and confessed, “I missed you,” before drifting back to sleep—leaving both Matthew Lee and viewers’ hearts racing. Whether her confession was mere sleep talk or an uninhibited outpouring of true feelings sparked by sleeping pills, curiosity abounds.
▲ Scene Stealers Amp Up the Series with Special Synergy
The series features numerous standout supporting actors who elevate each episode’s energy. Go Doo-shim, Yoon Byung-hee, Jo Bok-rae, and Park Ye-young complement Ahn Hyo-seop and Chae Won-bin with exceptional synergy, delivering both laughter and comfort.

Go Doo-shim adds depth from her first appearance as Song Hak-daek, the warm and relatable elder who helps Matthew Lee settle in Deokpung Village. She treats both locals and newcomer Dam Ye-jin with the same kindness, and her self-appointed “cupid” crusade to bring Matthew and Dam Ye-jin together infuses even more warmth into the story.
Yoon Byung-hee leaves a strong impression as Kang Moo-won, a loyal yet comically earnest supporter of Matthew Lee. Despite showering Matthew with gifts like a modern tractor and fine suits, his straight-laced partner remains indifferent, resulting in amusing onscreen chemistry.
Jo Bok-rae brings comic relief as Park Gwang-mo, the mushroom farm foreman. From running a tiny rural YouTube channel to endearingly blundering around his long-time first love, he delights viewers with dialect-heavy, mischievous scenes.
  
Park Ye-young stands out as PD Eom Seong-mi, Dam Ye-jin’s fiery friend and colleague. Her charismatic leadership in the chaotic broadcast setting, unyielding loyalty, and spontaneous romantic subplot make her a character viewers can’t help but be drawn to.
As the romance accelerates between Matthew Lee and Dam Ye-jin, these colorful characters infuse the series with dynamic, rich entertainment. Much anticipation surrounds the ongoing performances of the talented cast—including Go Doo-shim, Yoon Byung-hee, Jo Bok-rae, and Park Ye-young—who bring the lively world of &#8220;Sold Out Again Today&#8221; to life.
▲ Moving the Audience with a Heartfelt OST
  
The original soundtrack, performed by Soobin and Taehyun of Tomorrow X Together, has also received an enthusiastic response.
According to Billboard Japan’s latest chart (April 27–May 3), the OST &#8220;I Love You I Love You too&#8221; reached No. 10 on the Download Songs chart. The song also climbed to No. 36 on the Oricon Digital Singles chart and No. 26 on iTunes Japan, reflecting both domestic and international attention.
Released on April 29, Soobin and Taehyun’s duet captures the emotional essence of the drama, their delicate vocal harmonies perfectly portraying the tremulous start of romance for listeners and viewers alike.
  
The soundtrack continues to win praise for featuring artists across various genres, with fans eagerly awaiting future releases.
&#8220;Sold Out Again Today&#8221; is a drama about the intertwining lives and blossoming romance of perfectionist farmer Matthew Lee and top-selling show host Dam Ye-jin. The show airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9 p.m. on SBS.

SBS’s latest Friday–Saturday drama, The Atypical Family, is making waves among global viewers with an unprecedented surge in popularity.
After premiering on May 8, The Atypical Family soared to the number one spot on Netflix’s &#8220;Global Top 10 Non-English Shows&#8221; weekly rankings in just three days, according to the platform’s official site, Tudum. The chart covered viewing numbers and hours from May 4 to May 10, highlighting the show’s rapid ascent.

The banter and chemistry between these two “villains” power the show’s twist-filled narrative.

Actress Lee Min-jung has revealed her excitement over an upcoming solo trip to Europe, even though both her husband, Lee Byung-hun, and their son opposed the idea.
On May 12, Lee Min-jung uploaded a new video titled “A Solo Trip to Europe Without Kids – What Should I Wear?” on her personal channel. In the video, she cheerfully announced, “I’m finally going to Europe alone.” She added, “There’s strong opposition at home—Jun-hoo and my husband are both against it. Seo-yi doesn’t know yet,” drawing laughter from viewers. Lee Min-jung went on to say she wanted to capture beautiful scenery in Europe and explained, “Many people worry about what to wear when traveling abroad, so I prepared a styling segment for everyone.”
Lee Min-jung teamed up with Suh Soo-kyung, a stylist with 23 years of experience, to try on various travel outfits and discuss style ideas. She also shared a humorous anecdote about a red backless dress, explaining, “I bought this dress two years ago after giving birth to my second child in the United States, but my husband didn’t want me to wear it, so I’ve only worn it once.” She continued, “I don’t know why he’s so against backless dresses. I love how cool and breezy they feel,” before striking a pose to show off the dress, prompting laughter.
  
Stylist Suh Soo-kyung commented, “This is a really pretty style if you wear it on a sunny day in Europe, and it’s also great to layer over a swimsuit.”

Another segment featured Lee Min-jung modeling jeans and a scarf, noting, “These days, younger people are wearing scarves as tops.” Suh Soo-kyung added, “If you’re heading out to a club at night, it looks nice paired with a jacket.”
When the production team jokingly asked if Lee Min-jung was planning to visit any clubs in Europe, she looked flustered and replied, “Are you talking to me? I’m not going to any clubs.” Her quick response had everyone laughing.
  
Lee Min-jung married fellow actor Lee Byung-hun in 2013 and the couple have a son, Jun-hoo, and a daughter, Seo-yi.

Yunho, a member of the group TVXQ, drew attention with an unexpected disclosure about his dating history.
On the April 12th episode of KBS 2TV’s “2 Days &#038; 1 Night Season 4,” cast members Kim Jongmin, Moon Seyoon, Lee Jun, and DinDin traveled to Dangjin, South Chungcheong Province, with guests Kang Jaejun and Yunho.
During their trip, the group split into two teams for a “ranking guessing” game to win snacks, where Yunho’s romantic past came to light. The question was to guess the number of times each—Yunho, Kim Jongmin, and DinDin—had been rejected by someone they liked. However, all predictions missed the mark.
  
The results revealed that Yunho had experienced rejection four times, Kim Jongmin twice, and DinDin not at all. Yunho surprised everyone by confessing, “I was rejected by the same person four times.”

Viewers were also treated to anecdotes showcasing Yunho’s sincere and relatable side. He shared how he once rescheduled an overseas engagement to sing at Kim Jongmin’s wedding and recounted his connection to Jongmin’s wife, expressing gratitude that she had been a longtime fan. Although they planned to meet again after the wedding, their busy schedules got in the way, he said with a smile, keeping the atmosphere light and humorous.
Yunho’s unexpected friendship with DinDin also became a point of interest. The two grew closer while filming the MBC variety show “Dunia,” becoming friends as they lived and worked together on set. With insight into DinDin’s personality, Yunho even offered advice on how to “manage” the younger entertainer, saying, “When DinDin sulks and starts mumbling to himself, just reassure him, ‘You’re fine, you can do it.’ With a little attention, he’ll bounce right back.”
  
The broadcast further highlighted Yunho’s trademark passion. DinDin recalled how, despite typhoon conditions after filming, Yunho remained at the accommodation, meticulously planning his stage choreography and practicing for an upcoming concert. Yunho explained, “I had a performance scheduled as soon as I arrived, so I needed to be prepared,” noting that he still practices regularly to maintain his stage performance.
Lee Jun also shared how Yunho’s encouragement helped him overcome exhaustion during an overseas concert tour. Yenho had told him, “Let’s make some good memories today,” which gave Lee Jun the strength to carry on. The cast agreed, remarking that Yunho truly exhibited the qualities of a seasoned senior.

Global pop superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are set to get married, with news confirming not just their engagement, but the specific date and location for their highly anticipated wedding. On April 9 (local time), US entertainment outlet Page Six reported that “save-the-date” cards for the couple’s wedding have already been sent out.
The wedding is scheduled for July 3 in New York. The timing of the ceremony has sparked even greater interest, as it is set for the day before US Independence Day—a date known to hold special significance for Swift, who has often expressed her love for the holiday. This year’s Independence Day has additional meaning as it marks the 250th anniversary of American independence.
Previously, there were speculations that the couple might hold their wedding in Rhode Island. However, the plans shifted to New York in pursuit of a venue capable of hosting a larger number of guests. New York remains a symbolic city for star-studded weddings, with celebrities like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber, and Mariah Carey all having celebrated milestone moments there.
  
Taylor Swift, born in 1989, made her debut in 2006 with the single “Tim McGraw” and has since cemented her status as a global pop icon. She has released a string of major hits including “Love Story,” “Red,” “Shake It Off,” “Bad Blood,” and “Look What You Made Me Do.” Last October, she captivated fans once again with her album “The Life of a Showgirl.” Meanwhile, Swift and Kelce publicly began dating in the summer of 2023 and have continued to maintain a steady relationship ever since.

Actor Jung Woo-sung continues to draw significant public attention amid ongoing controversies surrounding his personal life and acting abilities.
According to OSEN, Disney Plus&#8217;s series &#8220;Made in Korea Season 2&#8221; has completed filming and entered post-production, stirring considerable curiosity about the release date. Recently, the main cast also wrapped up poster shoots, further elevating anticipation for the series&#8217; launch.
Amidst this, online interest in lead actor Jung Woo-sung has only intensified. Previously, Jung Woo-sung was embroiled in a personal scandal just before the premiere of &#8220;Made in Korea Season 1,&#8221; which nearly led to a halt in his entertainment career.
  
In 2024, model Moon Gabi revealed her pregnancy and childbirth, disclosing that the father was Jung Woo-sung. This revelation shocked the public. Jung Woo-sung stated, &#8220;As a father, I will fulfill my responsibilities toward the child,&#8221; but remained silent regarding the nature of his relationship with Moon Gabi.
Later, in August of the previous year, it was reported that Jung Woo-sung had registered his marriage to a non-celebrity woman, not Moon Gabi, causing another wave of public surprise.
Despite the string of controversies, Jung Woo-sung returned to television through the variety show &#8220;Omniscient Interfering View&#8221; and the drama &#8220;Made in Korea,&#8221; marking a period of vigorous professional activity. However, his comeback was not without challenges. During his appearance on &#8220;Omniscient Interfering View,&#8221; he faced criticism over unnecessary concepts, and his acting in &#8220;Made in Korea&#8221; sparked debate about his performance.
  
Director Woo Min-ho of &#8220;Made in Korea&#8221; addressed the situation, stating, &#8220;The actor himself probably has his own concerns, but I respect the viewers&#8217; opinions and have no desire to argue against them. At the same time, we are carefully monitoring public reactions and contemplating why such responses are occurring.&#8221;
&#8220;Made in Korea&#8221; became a major topic even before its release as the comeback project for Jung Woo-sung, who had been entangled in personal scandals. The show drew heightened attention as it was revealed to have a production budget of around 70 billion KRW. When Jung Woo-sung&#8217;s controversy broke, there was public speculation about the immense financial risk, with concerns that the entire budget could go to waste.
Jung Woo-sung managed to protect the &#8220;70 billion KRW&#8221; project and resume his activities, but remains unable to escape ongoing disputes. Many are keen to see how he will be received in &#8220;Made in Korea Season 2,&#8221; with anticipation building over his next steps.

Last month, Ryu posted a video on her channel titled, &#8220;The Only Lovebird Couple in the World: Why Jeon Jin and Ryu Iseo Began Preparing for Pregnancy at 43.&#8221;
  
In the video, Ryu shared, &#8220;We&#8217;re preparing to have a baby. I&#8217;ve undergone egg retrieval, but haven&#8217;t gone through implantation yet. We&#8217;re planning to try it soon.&#8221; She continued, &#8220;When we were younger, we could just take care of ourselves and live comfortably. Now, even if things are a bit tough, it feels like that&#8217;s just how it should be. That&#8217;s why it doesn&#8217;t feel so hard.&#8221;
She also spoke candidly about the motivation behind deciding to try for a child after six years of marriage, revealing, &#8220;Last year, my husband suddenly became ill and had to go to the hospital. Seeing him in such pain, I suddenly thought, &#8216;If something happened to him, how would I live alone?&#8217; I realized that if we had a child who resembled him, it might help me endure.&#8221;
Ryu added, &#8220;I wanted my husband to receive unconditional love, so I delayed thinking about having a baby for a while. But now, I feel we&#8217;ve both been loved enough,&#8221; demonstrating once again the deep affection that has made them one of the most beloved couples in the entertainment industry.

Singer Go Woori has made headlines after announcing her pregnancy while sharing personal anecdotes about her husband.
On April 2, Go Woori revealed through her YouTube channel ‘Go Woori’ that she is currently 10 weeks pregnant. She happily reported that her in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempt was successful on the first try.
“Since it’s rare for IVF to work on the first attempt, I tried not to get my hopes up,” she explained, adding, “I even left my nails as they were and tried to keep my mind at ease.” 
  
Go Woori also did not shy away from talking about the challenges of early pregnancy. “For the past few weeks, my morning sickness was so severe that I could barely leave the house,” she said. “If I took medication for the nausea, I’d feel drowsy and even when I went outside, I couldn’t really eat.”
“Both food cravings and aversions hit me at the same time, making every day feel like a never-ending hangover. My stomach felt uncomfortable and bloated all the time,” she added.

She went on to share that, as a result, her contact with friends decreased and she spent most of her time at home.
  
One detail that especially drew attention was that Go Woori went to most of her hospital appointments alone. “My husband isn’t the type who goes to the hospital with me. He usually says, ‘Why would I go?’” she revealed. “If I forced him to come, it would probably just stress him out, so I figured it’s better to go alone.”
However, Go Woori noted that her husband did accompany her on the day they confirmed the baby’s heartbeat. She also mentioned that as her IVF treatments took longer than expected, attending medical appointments on her own became normal for her. “It was unfamiliar at first, but over time I got used to it,” she said.
The singer was open about other everyday experiences with her husband as well, saying, “Even if I suddenly crave something in the middle of the night, I don’t expect him to get it for me. There’s no point stressing ourselves out, so I manage it on my own.” She added, “Lowering my expectations actually brought me peace of mind.”
  
After watching the video, fans shared a wide range of reactions, commenting, “She deserves more consideration during pregnancy,” “Shouldn’t her husband be a bit more attentive?” and “Are things really okay between the two of you?”

Chef Sung Anh, renowned for his appearance on Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Black and White Chef,&#8221; is making headlines with updates about his personal life.
On April 1, a new video titled &#8220;I Moved! Revealing My New Love House Filled with Sung Anh&#8217;s Taste,&#8221; was uploaded to the YouTube channel &#8216;Chef Sung Anh Chef Sung Anh&#8217;. In the video, Sung Anh introduces his recently purchased, more spacious home, expressing pride in his achievement by stating, &#8220;As I mentioned before, I&#8217;ve moved to a somewhat bigger space.&#8221;
After giving viewers a tour of his home, Sung Anh decided to order black bean noodles (jajangmyeon), revealing he is a VIP user of a popular delivery app. He shared his personal tip: &#8220;I never look at the reviews. I&#8217;ve never seen a dish that looks exactly like its picture.&#8221; Instead, he prefers to focus on his own instincts when choosing restaurants for delivery.
  
His wife added another ordering tip, pointing out, &#8220;Checking how many times someone has ordered can be helpful. If a single person has placed multiple orders, that means the place is trustworthy.&#8221;

While tasting his delivered jajangmyeon, Sung Anh commented, &#8220;Maybe because I&#8217;m a chef, but I can tell if the meat is frozen, whether there&#8217;s any unpleasant odor, and if the onions are really stir-fried. Those details help me decide whether I would order from the same place again.&#8221;
The release of the video sparked a variety of reactions online, with viewers commenting, &#8220;I&#8217;m so envious of Sung Anh&#8217;s house,&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s so spacious and clean,&#8221; &#8220;He&#8217;s so different from his &#8216;Black and White Chef&#8217; image,&#8221; &#8220;Despite running an expensive restaurant, he&#8217;s down to earth,&#8221; and &#8220;It would be nice if the menu prices were lower,&#8221; among others.
  
Sung Anh, who holds the record as the youngest chef in Korea to receive three Michelin stars, gained broader public recognition as a judge on Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;Black and White Chef&#8221;.

Singer Yong Jun-hyung has announced the termination of his exclusive contract with his agency, declaring plans to pursue his career independently following conflicts that could not be resolved.
On March 30, Yong Jun-hyung posted a statement on his personal account, explaining, “I have repeatedly requested corrections regarding the prolonged failure to fulfill major contractual obligations on the part of the agency in relation to our exclusive contract.”
He continued, “However, these issues have not been resolved for years, and I judged that it has become impossible to maintain a relationship of trust. Therefore, as of March 12, 2026, I have notified the agency of my intention to terminate the exclusive contract based on relevant laws, but I have not yet received any response.”
  
“I believe the contract has been lawfully terminated,” he emphasized. “I plan to continue my activities independently and promise to return with an even better image.”
Yong Jun-hyung previously revealed in June last year that he had conflicts with his agency, Black Made. At that time, he claimed, “On the day of my album release last year, I was suddenly called in and told that due to the expansion of the company’s business, the label would be shut down, and they would terminate my contract unconditionally, without any strings attached.”
He added, “When I said it was incomprehensible and shocking, they suddenly suggested we try again. Then, within a month or two, they unilaterally told me to leave the company.” He further explained his frustration, saying, “I then heard demands to pay amounts presumed to be losses set arbitrarily by the company, as well as money received from a distributor, despite never having approved or known about such investments.”
  
Yong Jun-hyung debuted in 2009 as a member of the group Beast. In 2019, he departed the group after it was revealed that he had been involved in sharing illegally filmed materials and inappropriate conversations with Jung Joon-young—the principal figure in the ‘Burning Sun Gate’ scandal. Afterward, Yong Jun-hyung signed an exclusive contract with Black Made, an independent label under Big Planet Made Entertainment.
Meanwhile, in 2024, Yong Jun-hyung held a private wedding with singer HyunA, marking the beginning of their life together as a married couple.

Park Ji-hoon soared to stardom playing the role of the dethroned king in the film The Man Living With the King. Surpassing 15 million viewers is only the beginning; it is his next project that will truly define his career.
At this crucial juncture, the magnitude of his recent box office success is less important than what comes after. For an actor, the period immediately following a hit is not a time of reward, but a pivotal moment of decision. More often than not, this decision is harsher in its consequences than anticipated.
The game around Park Ji-hoon has already moved to the next stage.
  
A recent conversation with the CEO of Park Ji-hoon&#8217;s agency offered insights into this critical period. The CEO checks audience numbers every morning; these figures are not just records but targets to manage. Even as The Man Living With the King approaches the 16 million mark, the agency continues to craft strategies for events and exposure precisely timed for this milestone. Success at the box office, in their eyes, is not an endpoint but a process to be maximized until the very last moment.
The now-viral &#8220;Park Ji-hoon at 17&#8221; photo is part of this broader plan. The CEO revealed, “It was a staff idea, and it received a great response.” This post cleverly linked Park Ji-hoon&#8217;s actual age at 17 with the age of his character, Danjong, in the film—creating not just nostalgia, but a bridge connecting the actor with his role. Even the emotional appeal that resonated on social media was carefully calculated; every post-release exposure is part of an intentional design.
Time moves even faster for the actor himself. Park Ji-hoon is currently reviewing a flood of new project offers. The real issue is not the sheer volume but the careful selection. Offers pouring in after a blockbuster hit may look like opportunities, but they can just as easily be traps. If he sticks to similar roles, he risks being simply consumed by the market; if he attempts a drastic departure, he may lose his equilibrium.
  
Therefore, what appears to be “rest” at this stage is actually a period of preparation for a critical choice. Before finalizing his next project, Park Ji-hoon is planning some time off, yet it is not total downtime. It’s more a moment to slow down and deliberate before taking the next step.
Box office success is just the start. The next project may etch Park Ji-hoon’s name in the industry—or cause it to fade.
The wheels are already turning. The agency is meticulously tracking audience figures and orchestrating publicity events. The actor, meanwhile, is navigating a sea of offers to make his selection.
  
A single choice during this phase could shape the next several years of his career. Repeating similar forays may lead to audience fatigue, whereas excessive change can disrupt his balance.
From idol roots as a member of Wanna One, to success with the Netflix series Weak Hero, and now to achieving 15 million box office viewers with The Man Living With the King, Park Ji-hoon has ascended to a new league.
At this moment, Park Ji-hoon stands at the most critical crossroads of his career.
  
The agency is focusing less on rushing change and more on how best to harness Park Ji-hoon’s “gaze.” Those who have encountered him up close often comment that “his eyes are captivating.” It’s this gaze that captured audiences in both Weak Hero and The Man Living With the King.
While surpassing 15 million viewers has secured his place among the stars, few actors manage to maintain their position at such heights.
Ultimately, everything comes down to one thing: where Park Ji-hoon’s gaze will turn next will determine the next chapter of his career.

Ha Min-ki, the well-known K-pop trainee dubbed the “Tteokbokki heir,” has officially parted ways with his agency, Modenberry Korea, just ahead of what was anticipated to be his debut with boy group Air Hundred.
On March 27, Modenberry Korea confirmed, “Following in-depth discussions during the reorganization of our new boy group project, Air Hundred, we have mutually agreed to terminate our contract with Ha Min-ki.” The agency added, “As we have worked together for a considerable period, we reached a consensus to support each other on our respective paths. We deeply appreciate the love fans have shown Ha Min-ki.”
Ha Min-ki was previously introduced as the first member of Air Hundred, drawing significant attention among K-pop fans. The group’s debut had originally been scheduled for the latter half of this year, but on February 3, news broke that debut preparations had been temporarily put on hold, disappointing many awaiting fans.
  
At that time, Modenberry Korea cited internal management changes as the reason for a comprehensive operational check, stating, “To enhance the quality and readiness of Air Hundred, featuring Ha Min-ki, we decided to temporarily pause the group’s launch and focus on more intensive training. This is not a disbandment nor the end of the project, but an internal restructuring for a more solid debut. Launch schedules and activity plans will be discussed again once internal preparations are complete.”

Ha Min-ki had garnered public interest not only for his trainee activities but also for being the nephew of Ha Seong-ho, founder and chairman of the popular tteokbokki franchise Sinjeon Tteokbokki. Regarding this, Modenberry Korea previously stated, “Born in 2007, Ha Min-ki is the nephew of Sinjeon Tteokbokki founder and president Ha Seong-ho. After spending time as a trainee at SM Entertainment, he has captivated the public with his tall stature (185cm) and striking presence. We appreciate the continued support from the Sinjeon Tteokbokki family for Ha Min-ki’s debut preparations.”
Despite not debuting as originally planned, Ha Min-ki went on to release the project track “Snow Blossom Night” alongside fellow Modenberry Korea trainees Kang I-rang and Jo Si-yoon, formerly of Purity, receiving enthusiastic responses from fans.
  
With Air Hundred—Modenberry Korea’s first planned boy group—postponing its debut and entering a period of reorganization, attention is focused on future updates regarding the group’s new lineup and trainee information.
