• YouTuber Apologizes for Imitating Jang Won Young's "Strawberry Mukbang" and Insulting IVE's Fans

    YouTuber Daerada, who has about 20,000 subscribers, apologized for copying Jang Won Young eating strawberries.

    On April 16 , Daerada posted an article along with a video on her Twitter account.

    The released video was previously posted on TikTok. Daerada held the strawberry tightly in her hands and ate it, saying, "It's really big," and "I'm full."

    And he overlapped the responses of the panels with audio that saw Jang Won-young eating strawberries, which was previously released on MBC's "Omniscient Point of View."

    At that time, Jang Won Young used both hands to eat strawberries. When MCs who were watching it through VCR in the studio were surprised, Jang Won Young explained, "It's really big."

    Song Eun I even chatted, saying, "It's a foul if you use two hands when eating strawberries."

    Daeradara used the same subtitles from "Strawberry to a bite" and "Too big to hold with one hand (?)" from the scene.

    Fans who encountered this expressed discomfort, saying that Daerada mocked Jang Won Young, and posted an apology saying Daerada.

    Daerada said, "I am writing to let you know that this video did not mean to mock or disparage Jang Won Young."

    He said, "I'm a big fan of Ive's dance covers. I think my video was uncomfortable for Jang Won Young or the fans,"

    Finally, Daeradara said, "I'll be careful next time."

  • 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.
