• JTBC's “Snowdrop” To Air 3 Episodes In One Week To Solve The Misunderstandings That Caused The Controversy Over History Distortion

    As the ‘history distortion’ controversy has gotten more serious, JTBC’s “Snowdrop” decided to make a special arrangement and air the 5th episode earlier.

    On December 23rd, a representative of JTBC said,, “Controversies are still surrounding ‘Snowdrop’.

    In episodes 3 and 5 of 'Snowdrop',  which will air for 3 days from December 24th to December 26th, the background of the South Korean spy Suho and the unfair power situation will be unveiled, revealing the probability of the initial setting. 

    JTBC explained, “These episodes will reveal the fact that it is the National Security Planning Agency that sent spies into South Korea, the begin of the fight between leaders of South and North Koreas for power and money, and stories of young people participating in their secret activities.”

    JTBC emphasized, “JTBC respects the viewers’ views and opinions on our content. In order to hear more opinions from our viewers, we are reading all comments on the viewers’ bulletin board and the real-time chat window on our portal site”, adding, “This special broadcast is also a decision to ease the viewers’ concerns. We will continue to do our best and listen to your opinions to create better content.”

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
