Actress Park Shin Hye received malicious comments from some Chinese netizens after she released a photo wearing a hanbok.

On February 12th, Park Shin Hye posted a picture of herself wearing a hanbok with the caption, "I thought I wore it without a circle when I was taking pictures of the upper house, but it's still good to wear it".

In the photo, Park Shin Hye, dressed in a green hanbok, clasped her chin with one hand and smiled brightly, attracting attention.

However, after the photo was posted, some Chinese netizens poured malicious comments on Park Shin Hye, mixing Chinese and English. It was because she posted a picture of hanbok.

They said, "Isn't Hanbok an improvement of traditional Chinese clothing?" and "Hanbok is a traditional Chinese clothing that evolved from clothing".

In addition, they left several vomiting emoticons and inverted thumb emoticons to express their displeasure at Park Shin Hye wearing a hanbok.

Korean netizens who saw this responded with reactions such as "I'm tired of swearing now" and "Is there a reason for this in every picture of celebrities wearing hanbok? and expressed their dislike".

Meanwhile, at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a woman wearing a hanbok appeared as one of the ethnic minorities in China, causing controversy.

In response, many stars, including Han Sang Jin, Lee Jon Hyuk, Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, and BTS' Suga, posted pictures of themselves wearing hanbok, emphasizing that the hanbok belongs to Korea.

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.
