Singer IU is suspected of being in a relationship. The reason is that all the new songs are love songs.

Recently, a number of articles titled 'IU seems to be dating' have been posted on various online communities.

Netizens speculate that IU is in a relationship because she puts her story into a song, and all of her recently released songs have sweet lyrics and melodies. Also, compared to the past, the proportion of love stories in song lyrics has increased.

Undoubtedly, the song 'Strawberry Moon' released in October is full of love. This song expresses how fantastic the things that happen inside a person who is completely in love are compared to a big strawberry-colored moon.

Not only this. The 5th full-length album released in March is also full of love songs. In particular, the song 'Flu' contains lyrics suggestive of falling in love, such as 'Oh, like an idiot, I will fall in love again' and 'I have no choice but to get sick of you for a long time.'

Netizens voiced their support . They showed reactions such as "It's not only her songs that are exuding sweetness but even from her interviews, she talks a person in love. IU also writes her own songs and her song 'Strawberry Moon' is much sweeter than her other songs," "I would totally support her if she says she's dating," "She's already 30 so I don't think her fans would be so affected by her dating lol," "Everyone is wondering if she's dating because her song is so sweet," "I think I would be fully supportive of IU if she is dating," "When it comes January, Dispatch might report on IU," and "I hope IU is happy."

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.
