• Netizens Discuss Idols That Got Big From Small Agencies

    Idols from small agencies are a hot topic online for their overflowing visuals.

    On August 15, a post about these idols began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “AREN'T THERE QUITE A LOT OF VISUALS FROM MID/SMALL AGENCIES?“.

    The netizen who posted said, "Cha Eunwoo, Infinite L, Im Siwan,BTS V, The Boyz Juyeon, Monsta X Chae Hyungwon. Who else? “.

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    "I don't think that Juyeon and Hyungwon have the visuals to be mentioned here but to be honest, I find Juyeon and Hyungwon's visuals handsomer than the ones from the big companies"

    "L, V, Cha Eunwoo and 'Im Siwan' (T/N: I think OP didn't include him at first)"

    "Can you delete this? It's true that Hyungwon and Juyeon are f*cking handsome but I feel like it will attract the trolls"

    "Kids like Cha Eunwoo and L were always legendary so that's why. Kids like Hyungwon and Juyeon are indeed above average but I think that this post is setting them up"

    "Just the comments say, Cha Eunwoo, L and Im Siwan are way too legendary so… Hyungwon and Juyeon definitely don't have the looks to be bashed on no? Considering the recent male idols, they seriously are f*cking handsome"

    "But it's true that even from a mid-sized company, Hyungwon and Juyeon are way above average. They are tall, have good physiques, are freaking handsome, and are good at their work too. Kids like Im Siwan and L are just the top of the industry"

    "I find Juyeon and Hyungwon both likable but to be honest, they shouldn't be included in this lineup"

  • Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Claps Back at Late Sulli’s Brother’s Claims, Reveals Bed Scene Was Always Part of the Script for ‘Real’

    Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

    On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

    They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

    The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

    Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

    Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

    As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

    Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

    This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
