The strong friendship between Lee Yi Kyung and Choi Daniel from "The Oppa of Tteokbokki House" will be revealed.

In MBC Everyone's "The Oppa of Tteokbokki House", which airs at 8:30 p.m. on February 15th, actors Lee Dong Hwi, Choi Daniel, and singer Lee Chan Won will appear to talk to Ji Suk Jin, Kim Jong Min, and Lee Yi Kyung.

In a recent recording, Choi Daniel appeared on a variety show for the first time in 8 years for his best friend Lee Yi Kyung. The two, who met through the KBS 2TV drama "School 2013" in the past, have been building a strong friendship for 10 years.

Lee Yi Kyung recalled 10 years of friendship by confiding in the care and help given to him by his senior Choi Daniel during his difficult rookie days.

Choi Daniel also confessed his difficult days that day. "It's been awkward and hard since I gained popularity with 'High Kick Through the Roof', he said.

He said, "At that time, I was 24 or 25 years old, and I had a lot of decisions and responsibilities compared to my age and experience", adding, "What remains to me in the end? Don't I die even if I make a lot of money? I thought," he recalled the past.

At the same time, Choi Daniel drew attention by showing a calm appearance, saying, "In my 20s, emptiness was the hardest, but now I've overcome it well."

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
