Actor Han So Hee and Song Kang, who were suddenly dating rumors, were reported.

On June 18th, a photo of actor Song Kang and NCT's Jaehyun was uploaded on GQ's official Instagram in Thailand. In the published photo, Song Kang and Jaehyun are seen attending a Prada event. 

Thailand's GQ official Instagram said, "Korean actors Song Kang and NCT's Jaehyun attended the Prada 2023 S/S fashion show," along with a photo of the two.  

Earlier on June 18th, the YouTube channel 'Taldeok Prison Camp' released a picture of Han So Hee and a man on the street saying, "It seems that Han So Hee and Song Kang are dating."

However, the photo was posted by a staff member who is close to Han So Hee. The man in the photo was Moon Sang Min, an actor who appeared in 'My Name', and was not Song Kang at all.

In other words, the dating rumors of the two are just rumors claimed by 'Taldeok Camp' with completely different photos.

On the other hand, Song Kang and Han So Hee worked together through the JTBC drama 'Nevertheless' in June of last year, and gathered topics for their gorgeous visual chemistry.

Meanwhile, Song Kang is preparing for seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix original 'Sweet Home'.

Song Kang is a reclusive loner in the play, but he is a character who fights for the people around him when a monster crisis occurs.

BLACKPINK's Rosé has topped the December 2024 Idol Personal Brand Reputation rankings, beating out big names like G-Dragon and BTS's members!

The Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute analyzed massive amounts of big data from November 28 to December 28, 2024.

They collected 194,169,629 data points from 1,730 idol brands, a 4.60% increase compared to the previous month.

The data tracked consumer participation, media interest, and community engagement to measure the idol brand reputation index.

Rosé’s rise to the top came from a surge in online consumer interest, positive feedback, and her active communication with fans. Her song "Apartment," along with her birthday celebrations, generated buzz in the data analysis, with keywords like "participate, confess, record" and "Apartment, Rosé, birthday" making the list. Her positive-to-negative ratio in the data was an impressive 93.28%, showing how loved she is by fans and media alike.

Other idols who made the top 30 included G-Dragon, Karina of aespa, Jang Wonyoung from IVE, and BTS's Jin, Cha Eun Woo, Jungkook, and Jimin. Despite fierce competition, Rosé’s brand reputation has remained unbeatable, solidifying her place at the top in December.

Director Koo Chang-hwan of the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute commented on the findings, noting a 7.84% increase in brand expansion and an 8.53% rise in brand communication for Rosé. It’s clear that her influence and popularity are only growing stronger!
