To celebrate the wrap of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Shin Min Ah live-streamed the gifts she received from her fans.

Shin Min-ah, who showed off her charm as a craftsman of lovely character acting in the recently ended drama 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha', planned to have an interview with a media outlet to celebrate the success of the drama.

It must have been a special occasion for the actress because she starred in the only series that did well in a slew of other shows falling to all-time rating lows.

However, as Kim Seon-ho, who co-starred in a melodrama, was caught up in controversy over his personal life, all interviews were canceled.

As an actress, it must have been quite speedy, but Shin Min-ah recently posted on her Instagram story pictures of gifts she received from fans, such as a plaque that read 'I give you this award for making our heart flutter thousands of times.', and said, 'Congratulations!'.

Fans who saw this photo said, "I must have been angry and upset, but it's lovely Shin Min-ah." "I was expecting to hear the back story through interviews, but it's a pity. It is lifted up and it becomes healing again."

Other fans also commented, “She must have gone through a lot, but I’m glad that she is keeping her positive spirit alive,” and, “I waited so long for the behind-the-scenes stories that they were about to tell us in their interview. I bet she would feel the same. However, it’s very considerate of her to upload these pictures for us. It made my day.”

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
