• Teaser Poster For "Soundtrack #1" Starring Park Hyung Sik And Han So Hee Receives Criticism

    Netizens' negative reactions to the poster for the web drama "Soundtrack #1" poured in.

    On February 24th, a post titled 'Poster.jpg' for the drama "Soundtrack #1" starring Park Hyung Sik and Han So Hee that didn't respond well was uploaded on the same day.

    The author posted two poster images of the characters Park Hyung Sik and Han So Hee, the two main actors of Disney+'s original web drama "Soundtrack #1".

    "Soundtrack #1" is a romantic music drama in which two men and women who have been best friends for 20 years stay in the same house for two weeks and get to know each other's feelings.

    Park Hyung Sik appears as a photographer in the play. He is standing behind the camera, as if trying to photograph someone, with a friendly smile. Han So Hee takes on the role of a lyricist who makes a living in the play. Sitting in front of a laptop, she is deeply immersed in completing the lyrics.

    In both posters, the background was decorated with illustrations, and the characters were expressed in a way (a Japanese slang term meaning 'bye' or 'take out', often used in broadcast or print terms). However, many netizens who saw this pointed out the revision and expressed their disappointment that the degree of completion was poor. 

    In the comment section of 'TheQoo', comments such as "I feel strange because the nomination was not made according to the illustration", "It feels empty", "I think I can make this too", "What's going on?", "I freaking hate it.", "Without fail, this sucks…", “It’s really crappy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.” etc.

    The drama "Soundtrack #1", starring Park Hyung Sik and Han So Hee, will be released exclusively on Disney+ next month.

  • Lim Ji Yeon Addresses Backlash Over Cheering for Jung Woo Sung Amid His Scandal, "I Didn’t Expect the Public’s Reaction"

    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.
