Netizens are criticizing BTS V's behavior since he came back from Paris, France.

On June 28, V went to a fashion show in Paris, France, and then went to the Gimpo Business Aviation Center.

It was supposed to arrive at 8:55 a.m., but V didn't get there until after 12:20 p.m. because his flight was late. He walked up to the car quickly as soon as the door opened, wearing a black hoodie, yellow shorts, and slippers.

This was different from the way BLACKPINK's Lisa and actor Park Bo Gum acted when they came back to Korea at the same time, which made reporters and fans who were expecting V to greet them sad. Lisa and Park Bo Gum also smiled at or gave hearts to reporters.

After that, V said, "We arrived" through the fan community service Weverse in the afternoon and said, "Reporters and ARMYs, I'm sorry I got in the car right away. How long did you wait? I brought you something".

V released pictures of stars floating in the night sky that looked like they were taken from an airplane, as well as a picture of himself making a funny face.

Netizens still criticize the explanation, though. Netizens said things like, "I'm embarrassed for everyone," "Is it so hard to say hello?" and "The attitude is too comparative."

On the other hand, some netizens defended him, saying things like "Maybe he's just tired," "He doesn't usually do that, but he did it once," and "It can happen when you're tired."

Actor Gong Yoo has finally addressed a controversial comment he made over 20 years ago about the late President Park Chung-hee, which has resurfaced recently due to political discussions.

On December 5, Gong Yoo (real name Gong Ji-cheol, 45) sat down for an interview with Star News at a cafe in Jongno, Seoul, where he spoke about the 2005 interview with Vogue Girl. In the interview, he had said, "The most handsome men, in my opinion, are my father, Michael Jordan, and Park Chung Hee." The remark has attracted renewed attention after recent political events, including the declaration of a state of emergency by President Yoon Suk-yeol on December 3.

Gong Yoo explained, "For the past 20 years, this statement has followed me like a label. It’s not that I feel wronged, but I often feel like people try to use me in political situations because I’m a public figure. I’ve never given any political opinions or expressed any political stance. But on platforms like YouTube, some people have taken my words and added their own interpretations, making it seem like I was pushing a certain agenda. This makes me uncomfortable, but I also wonder if I even need to explain myself."

He continued, "I made that statement when I was in my early to mid-20s, and I didn’t fully understand the entertainment industry. It was an interview for a fashion magazine, not a deep or reflective conversation. I wasn’t as thoughtful or careful as I am now. A simple sentence I said in that interview has followed me ever since, especially when political issues come up. Looking back, I realize my words could have been misinterpreted, and I understand that it made some people uncomfortable. I should have been more cautious with what I said. What’s clear is that I’ve never had a wrong sense of history or morality—that’s the truth."
