Actress Kim Shin Rok shared her experience working with Yoo Ah-in.

In an online video interview on Netflix's 'Hellbound' conducted with Wikitree on the morning of December 6th, Kim Shin Rok revealed that Yoo Ah In was a person with power.

On this day, Kim Shin Rok said, "I was not able to meet with actor Yoo Ah In on the film set too often. I met him exactly twice: once was at the cafe when I met the founder of New Truth for the first time and the second time was when I was signing the contract about the live broadcast."

She continued, "He has a powerful presence and on top of that he played the role of the leader of a pseudo-religion so he had this power to draw people in. He had enough power that all I had to do was react well."

The actress also shared her experiences with working with actress Kim Hyun Joo. Kim Shin Rok explained, "When I was acting with her, I felt she was very sincere about acting."

She continued to add, "One of my favorite scenes is when the people from the New Truth and the lawyer's office came to my house to discuss the contract for the live broadcast. There, Jung Jin Soo (played by Yoo Ah In) asks me why the kids don't have a father and if he was a married man. That's when I replied that the kids have different fathers but lawyer Min Hye Jin (played by Kim Hyun Joo) defended me and said I don't need to respond. That's the scene when I really felt Kim Hyun Joo's presence as an actress."

She is working with director Yeon Sang-ho for the second time after 'Method'. When asked if there was any advice he received from director Yeon Sang Ho, She said, "There is no prior direction, and when I am acting, I come and say a word or two. There was power.”

Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
