• Singer Lee Hyo Ri Express Her Support For Her LGBTQIA+ Fans Who Are Undergoing Sex Change Surgery

    Singer Lee Hyo Ri began advising fans about their concerns.

    Fashion magazine W Korea's official YouTube channel posted a video content of a counseling center hosted by Lee Hyo Ri on April 1.

    In the video, Lee Hyo Ri sympathized with fans' various concerns rather than providing clear solutions, and shared her experiences and thoughts, and received favorable responses.

    In particular, she drew attention by cheering in her style while being cautious about fans who are about to undergo sex-change surgery.

    Lee Hyo Ri said, "It's a little difficult for me to tell you this because it's a heavy story, but these days, society's eyes have become more comfortable than before, but I think there must have been a bigger difficulty for me," adding, "I hope you can finish the surgery well and meet healthily."

    "Now I'm an older sister and a younger sister. I can buy cosmetics, give gifts, and get closer. Anyway, you made a decision, so I hope you put down all your worries and come back comfortably. Only when you feel comfortable can you finish the surgery well." she added.

    Finally, the prescription presented to her in a word was "beautiful no matter what." She added, "I just want you to remember that both women and men are beautiful."

    In addition, she sincerely consulted about concerns about human relationships, anxiety about being compared to others, and concerns about getting older.

    At the same time, she said, "In fact, people think I'm deep-hearted because I'm doing 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast', but I'm not. In fact, I still have a lot of worries, mistakes, and life learning. I will try to grow together and learn and become a comfortable person like a friend."

    Lee Hyo Ri is set to release the original TVing content "Seoul Check-in" in cooperation with PD Kim Tae Ho.

    "Seoul Check-in" is a real content that Lee Hyo Ri, who finished her schedule in Seoul, started out of curiosity about "where to sleep, who to meet, and where to go." It will be released on TVing on April 8.

  • Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Claps Back at Late Sulli’s Brother’s Claims, Reveals Bed Scene Was Always Part of the Script for ‘Real’

    Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

    On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

    They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

    The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

    Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

    Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

    As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

    Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

    This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
