• Here’s What “Our Beloved Summer” Actor Choi Woo Shik Is Like In Real Life

    In Our Beloved Summer, Choi Woo Shik plays Choi Woong, a free-spirited, but introverted illustrator who tries to hide his true self. His feelings are truly revealed only when he is with the girl he loves.

    Our Beloved Summer is a romantic comedy, so there are many scenes that give the viewers a good laugh but also admire Choi Woo Shik’s natural acting. Taking this opportunity, fans have recently reposted a series of Choi Woo Shik’s funny moments off the screen. 

    Among the many nicknames that fans give him, Choi Woo Shik’s most adorable nickname is “Chick“. This nickname originates from the drama Hogu’s Love. There is a scene where his character Hogu sings the children’s song Little Zoo while dancing cutely.

    Far from the talented artist Ko Oh in the drama, in real life, Choi Woo Shik’s drawing ability is completely different.  The actor showed his talent in drawing portraits of company colleagues such as Suzy, Nam Joo Hyuk, and Gong Yoo, but the result made fans laugh out loud.

  • Hyun Bin Apologizes for the 'Ddongcha' Theory After 20 Years: "I Was Wrong" - Actor Clears the Air About Iconic Role

    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.
