• Song Hye Kyo Opens Up About Being Criticized for Starring in Another Romance Drama

    Song Hye Kyo's pictorial was released.

    Song Hye Kyo, the lead actress of the SBS drama 'Now, We Are Breaking Up'. which will be aired for the first time on November 12, released a cover story pictorial with a magazine.

    Song Hye Kyo, who does not change as much as Kang San changes, said, “As an actress, I’m never that distant from the fashion world. But I was a little surprised as I experienced indirectly what actually happens in a fashion company,” she shared. “I came to realize that it’s a battlefield where every minute and every second matters. It’s really fierce and frantic. I think the viewers will be able to enjoy what happens before the clothes we buy are put in stores.”

    In addition, Song Hye Kyo said, “I had these expectations for myself about how Song Hye Kyo’s romance in her 40s will be different from that in her 30s. Some might criticize that I’m starring in a romance series again, but now that I’ve finished filming it, I have no regrets. No matter who says what, I believe that choosing ‘Now, We Are Breaking Up’ at this point of my life was a good choice.”

    “For example, let’s assume that the levels of sadness I have to express in a scene are from 1 to 5. In the past, if I’ve only sensed level-1 sadness, as I get older and have more experience, now the level-4 sadness shakes up my heart. The sadness and pain that I was unaware of when I was young became a clear feeling as time passed,”- she continued

    Meanwhile, SBS' new Friday-Saturday drama 'Now, We're Breaking Up' starring Song Hye Kyo will premiere on the 12th.

  • Hyun Bin Apologizes for the 'Ddongcha' Theory After 20 Years: "I Was Wrong" - Actor Clears the Air About Iconic Role

    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.
