• "Twenty Five Twenty One" Criticized Again Over Sensitive Topic Inserted In Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do‘s Romance Narrative

    One scene from "Twenty Five Twenty One" has sparked debate.

    On April 2nd, the latest episode of tvN’s Saturday drama “Twenty Five Twenty One”, depicts a long-distance relationship between Baek Yi Jin (Nam Joo Hyuk) and Na Hee Do (Kim Tae Ri) because Baek Yi Jin left for New York as a correspondent.

    Na Hee Do turned on the TV just in time for the news, and was pleased to see Baek Yi Jin reporting. Baek was at the spot of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

    On the other day, Na Hee Do missed Baek Yi Jin‘s report.

    On some days, she was disappointed when she could only hear Baek Yi Jin‘s voice during the “September 11th terrorist” report.

    Baek Yi Jin called Na Hee Do and explained, “I called because I think you would be disappointed because my face wasn’t shown today”. Na Hee Do was surprised, saying, “How did you know?Baek Yi Jin delighted Na Hee Do by answering, “I want to look good for you so I take a stand shot”.

    On the other hand, another netizen showed a different position, saying, "Let's watch the drama only as a drama".

    The scene became a serious controversy as it spread to various SNS and online communities after the broadcast. This is because the tragedy of “911 Terror” was used in Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do‘s romance narrative.

    Netizens responded that they could not understand, such as “I don’t think this is right”, “How did no one stop this?” “I’m really disappointed”, “What on earth are they thinking?”, “They can’t just do that” and “I’m really embarrassed”.

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
