• Suzy to guest in KBS 2TV's 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook' after a year of not performing on stage

    Actress and singer Suzy will go on stage after a long time.

    The Hankook Ilbo said on May 17th, "Suzy is recording KBS2's 'Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook'. The airing date is undecided.”

    It is the first time that Suzy will appear on stage as a singer whose main job is to perform since the untact fanart 'SUZY: A Tempo' on January 23, last year, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of her debut.

    Suzy released her single 'Satellite' in February, but did not perform it on stage. Meanwhile, she expects Suzy to meet her fans through her acting in addition to her singing career.

    Currently, Suzy is filming Coupang Play's 'Anna' and 'Iduna!'. 'Anna' tells the story of Yumi, a woman who lives a completely different life through a trivial lie.

    Lee Doona!’ is the work of artist Min Song-ah, which has been serialized on Naver since July 2019. It is a work depicting the story of Idu, who suddenly retired from idol activities, and Lee Won-jun, a freshman in her first year of college, living together in a share house.

  • 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.
