• Girls' Generation's Sooyoung Hints At A Possible Group Comeback This Year With Just 4 Words And Fans Can’t Take It

    Girls' Generation's Sooyoung (Choi Sooyoung) exploded expectations with just four words.

    Sooyoung hosted the "Ask Anything" section on her Instagram story on March 30th. It is a way for Suyeong to answer any questions from fans.

    Sooyoung proceeded to respond to dinner menus and drama recommendations, and in four letters with her photo, she responded to the question, "Just one word about the 15th anniversary".

    She said, "Are you ready?". Her answer left all the fans excited.

    Netizens said, "Really? Come on (Girls' Generation). I'm ready", "This is crazy". "Is this real?". "Soshi's comeback this is it ㅠㅠ", "They've been preparing for 5 years", "I'm already ready. Girls' Generation's comeback ㅠㅠ", "Is Soshi really coming?", "Of course I'm ready", "I guess it's real", "This time it's real", and "I'm always waiting for you".

    Girls' Generation stopped working as a full group after its sixth full-length album "Holiday Night" released in August 2017 on the 10th anniversary of its debut.

    At the end of the album at that time, Tiffany, Seohyun, and Sooyoung left SM Entertainment and began their personal activities.

    Some members have changed their agencies, but they continued their close relationship by holding group meetings while cheering for each other's activities even during their individual activities.

    Last year, they showed their moves by appearing as a complete group on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" without any notice of their comeback.

    Since then, they have responded positively to expectations for a comeback as a complete group on a number of personal SNS channels and official appearances.

    Many fans are expressing their expectations about whether they will be able to make a comeback as a full group to celebrate the 15th anniversary.

  • Hyun Bin Apologizes for the 'Ddongcha' Theory After 20 Years: "I Was Wrong" - Actor Clears the Air About Iconic Role

    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.
