• 'The Red Sleeve' Actor Lee Jun Ho's Rising Popularity Proves He is Set to Be Part of the A-Class Actors

    As MBC's 'The Red Sleeve' recorded a viewer rating of 17.4% and recently ended, interest in singer and actor Junho, who played the lead role, has grown.

    After finishing his recent drama 'Confession', Junho chose the MBC drama 'The Red Sleeve' as his comeback work.

    He played the role of Lee San, later King Jeongjo in the drama, boasting strong vocalization and delicate emotional expression, receiving favorable reviews from many.

    According to a news report stated by OSEN, due to the popularity of "The Red Sleeve", Junho's value as an actor has increased twice in less than a year. It is said that Junho, has been receiving numerous love calls from the drama and film industry , who has led the success of his work with his outstanding acting skills.

    It is said that there are quite a few works in which Junho has already politely expressed his intention to refuse.

    The head of a drama production company actually said, "Junho was originally cast as a lead actor because he was good at acting, but this time, 'The Red Sleeve' was a box office hit and he has emerged as a perfect A-class star."

    The representative of the drama production company also gave an example that it was similar to the atmosphere he wanted to cast Kang Ha Neul when KBS2 'When the Camellia Blooms' ended.

    In addition, the official predicted that Junho's performance fee per episode would go up a lot. They said said, "We can't reveal the exact amount, but we can probably jump with 100 million won or more from his existing appearance fee."

    In addition to his works, Junho is receiving invitations to entertainment shows, advertisements, pictorials, and brand events.

    However, JYP Entertainment, the agency, said that they do not plan to choose Junho's next work in a hurry right away.

    Junho is preparing for a fan meeting at the end of January, and he plans to decide his next move carefully as 'The Red Sleeve' received a lot of love.

    It doesn't seem like it will take much time as he has expressed his desire to meet the public with a new work within this year.

  • 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.
