"Single's Inferno" Kim Joon Sik quietly cheered for YouTuber Free Zia (Song Jia), who suffered from fake controversy.

Kim Joon Sik left a message on his Instagram on January 29 with a photo.

"!There are so many difficulties in the crisis of internal and external exchange. I want you to be a person who shows you through action rather than by telling you to cheer up. Even in our harsh lives, the road is bound to be seen, and no matter how hard it is, everything will be solved over time. You worked hard last year. I hope we all meet again with a smile", he said.

When reading the post upload by Kim Joon Sik for the first time, there seemed to be nothing special, but in fact, there was a secret hidden. If you read the first letters in reverse order, "It becomes 'Jia, cheer up!'". Therefore, if you look at it again, it is easy to understand why he put the exclamation mark at the top.

Kim Joon Sik posted this 4 days after Free Zia apologized for the fake controversy. At that time, Free Zia's public opinion was extremely bad. For this reason, it seems that Kim Joon Sik cheered for Free Zia, who would have struggled with controversy in an indirect way.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
