• "Our Beloved Summer" Actor Choi Woo Shik Accepted His Role As "Choi Woong" Because Of Kim Da Mi

    Choi Woo Shik provoked a 'heart-flutter' in the viewers by delicately depicting everything from the cuteness in "Our Beloved Summer" to the hard figure that can only go straight in front of love. In particular, he like the romantic chemistry with Kim Da Mi, who worked as the co-star, to the point of saying, “Aren’t the two really dating?

    "I worked with Kim Da Mi for the second time after the movie 'The Witch', and it was so good. While filming, I wanted to receive the Best Couple Award. Before the drama, I was curious about our chemistry. I was worried if the viewers would like it, but I'm just grateful that they liked it so much. Without Kim Da Mi, who played Kook Yeon Su, I wouldn't have played Choi Woong.

    Kim Da Mi, who worked together in acting, cited "concentration" as her strength. He said, "It's my second project and I feel like I can catch the changes because we're close, but when I started filming, it was like Kook Yeon Su was sitting in front of me. When she was concentrating, she looked like Kook Yeon Su, not Kim Da Mi. In terms of acting, she is also an actor who makes the other person comfortable on set. Since it's a melodrama genre, I was awkward and lacking in many aspects, but Kim Da Mi helped me a lot in that area, so I was able to make a good work", he said with gratitude.

    Choi Woo Shik also talks about working with Kim Sung Chul and Noh Jung Eui. He said, "Both are cute and cool feels like my younger sibling. Noh Jung Eui and I once worked together 8 or 9 years ago. I already have a connection with her working together when she came out as an advertising model when she was a child. Kim Sung Chul is an actor I liked so much that I was happy to play as a best friend. Both of them had such a good personality that they not only talked about acting on the spot, but also talked a lot like friends and had fun filming".

    What is Choi Woo Shik's next plan after finishing "Our Beloved Summer" with favorable reviews?

    He said, "After that, I haven't thought about any work yet. Since I worked hard on the melodrama this time, I wondered if I could show an upgraded melodrama, and I also want to try a more mature action than the previous ‘The Policeman's Lineage’. So I think both the melodrama and the action would be good".

    Choi Woo Shik continued, "There have been seniors who can lean on at the scene of the movie, and he was the oldest brother in this movie. I tried to break it because I was shy, and it was time to learn a lot about what I had to do as a leading actor. I feel good because the work I took happily is good. I hope you will support and love not only me but also all the actors who appeared in the work together", ending the interview.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
