Actor Nam Joo Hyuk spoke directly about the rumor of the death of his character Baek Yi Jin in tvN's Saturday drama "Twenty Five, Twenty One." 

On March 31, Nam Joo Hyuk's agency Management Forest's official YouTube channel posted a video titled ["I'm telling you now…" Reporter Baek Yi-jin's test.

At the end of the video, Nam Joo Hyuk sent a video letter to viewers. At this time, Nam Joo Hyuk directly mentioned the theory of Baek Yi Jin's death. 

Baek Yi Jin said, "Everyone, I'm telling you now…I got a lot of messages. "Why do you die?" He added, "I don't know why people are trying to kill me like that," adding, "I think there was a hidden force." "Stop it!" he cried. 

Nam Joo Hyuk's own five-letter "Stop it!" seems to have concluded to some extent the conclusion of the "Baek Yi Jin's death theory." 

On this day, Nam Joo Hyuk said, "I think I will be able to enjoy the rest of the episodes and show you a lot of different sides. Please look forward to it and I would appreciate it if you enjoyed it until the end,".

Earlier, some YouTubers and netizens reviewed "Twenty Five, Twenty One," and released a brain-official statement that Baek Yi Jin, the character in the play, would die along with several double lines.

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.
