Singer IU will be tested for COVID-19 on November 10th.

IU decided to take a preemptive test after singer Lim Chang-jung, who sang a congratulatory song at the wedding of Lee Ji-hoon and Ayane, was diagnosed with the virus the day before.

On the 10th, E-Daily , borrowing the words of an official from EDAM Entertainment, IU's agency, said, "On the day of the wedding, IU was the first to sing a congratulatory song while wearing a mask. We plan to inform you when the results of the tests are available at a later date."

Earlier, singer-actor Lee Ji-hoon's wedding was attended by IU, Im Chang-jung, musical actors Kai, and Son Jun-ho. Stars such as Bada, Hong Seok-cheon, Shim Jin-hwa, Jung Tae-woo, Kim Woo-ri, Kim So-hyun, and Kang Ye-bin attended as guests. Among them, the news of Im Chang-jung's confirmed case continued to raise concerns among fans. 

Lim Chang-jung sang while wearing a mask, but due to the nature of the enclosed space, it seems that those attending the wedding will also need to be tested for COVID-19.

It is known that the manager and staff, who were on the same track as Im Chang-jung, tested negative for COVID-19.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
