• 'My Love From The Star' Japanese Remake Receives Mixed Reactions From Netizens

    The popular drama 'My Love from the Star' has been remade in Japan and is about to air.

    On January 14th, a trailer for 'My Love from the Stars' was released on Amazon Prime Video Japan's YouTube channel.

    In the released trailer, Sota Fukushi and Mizuki Yamamoto appeared as Do Min Joon and Cheon Song Yi, played by Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun, respectively.

    However, the reaction of domestic netizens who saw the trailer was not very good. This is because the visuals of Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun in the original work and the visuals of the two actors showed a big difference.

    Moreover, even in the short trailer, the exaggerated performances of the actors stand out, so there are some who express their anxiety about Japan's unique directing ability.

    'My Love from the Stars', which aired in 2013, was scheduled to be remade by ABC in the United States, but it was canceled once. After twists and turns, the remake was made in Japan, and interest is gathering whether it will be able to meet the expectations of the original fans.

    Meanwhile, the remake version of 'My Love from the Star' will be released on Amazon Prime Video on February 23rd.

  • 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.
