Chinese netizens who left critical comments on photos of Hanbok posted by actress Park Shin Hye on Instagram were greatly scolded by BTS fans. 

Earlier, on February 12, Park Shin Hye posted a picture of the hanbok she wore at the hanbok wedding ceremony on Instagram, and captioned, "I thought I wore it without a circle when I took the top of #hanbok #hanbok #koreatraditionalclothes, but it's still nice to wear it." 

Some Chinese netizens who saw the photo commented, "Isn't it an improved version of traditional Chinese Hanbok?", "Hanbok is Chinese clothing," and "Korea is a thief." 

As Chinese comments continued to cross the line, BTS and Park Shin Hye fans criticized the Chinese for purple hearts, "Hanbok is so pretty", and "Hanbok is Korean." 

Domestic netizens also cheered for Park Shin Hye, saying, “Park Shin Hye is a Hallyu star, but posting a photo of her in hanbok is amazing.”

Meanwhile, Park Shin Hye and fellow actress Choi Tae Joon got married in a private wedding on January 22 after dating for five years. The two received a lot of congratulations from the news of their marriage in November of last year and the fact that they were pregnant.

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.
