• "All of Us Are Dead" Bathroom Birth Scene Receives Mixed Reactions From Netizens

    Some people are criticizing the scene of giving birth of a teenage single mother in 'All of Us Are Dead'.

    On January 28, Netflix's 'All of Us Are Dead' was released with the expectation of many people.

    'All of Us Are Dead' tells the story of those isolated in a high school where a zombie virus has spread and those who try to save them, going through an extreme situation where they can't figure out what's ahead.

    According to Flixpatrol, an online content service ranking aggregation site, 'All of Us Are Dead' is leading the 'K-Zombie' craze, ranking first in the global Netflix TV show category within a day of its release.

    However, some are pointing out that some scenes are "must-have content in the drama".

    In particular, there is a 'sensuality controversy' in relation to the scene where Park Hee Soo (Chae Eun Lee), who was pregnant with the body of a high school student, gives birth in the bathroom.

    Netizens said, "What are you trying to say?", "It's not even related to the main characters' episodes," "It's not even in the original, but it's out of the blue."

    They said the part where the amniotic fluid drained from the leg was "overly detailed".

    On the other hand, while Park Hee Soo turned into a zombie to protect the child, there were people who speculated, "I think it was put in to express maternal love," holding up parts such as tying her arm to the door.

    Some netizens argued that there was no reason to question the scene, saying, "Even if it does not directly affect the story, I think that it contributed to the background and atmosphere and touched the emotional line." 

  • 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.
