• Former f(x) Member Luna Reveals That She Still Struggles With Her Mental Health

    Singer Luna, a former member of the group f(x), confessed that she had a difficult time with depression and panic disorder.

    On August 24th, Luna posted a picture of her musical 'KPOP' on her own Instagram, and she introduced that she was "a work that makes me want to bring out the passion hidden in me again".

    Luna continued, "When I was an idol who ran nonstop, my memories of being a teenager who worked hard like a fool are the basement practice room, tuna kimbap, and tears."

    “I did my best,” she added.

    Luna then confessed, "For the past 3 years, it was difficult and painful to even stand on stage due to depression and panic disorder. I didn't want to, but the tears didn't stop, so I couldn't stop hating myself."

    "I really wanted to give up. Meeting the people I was most confident and loved, even receiving text messages, my hands and feet trembled and I had frequent seizures, so I couldn't even move," said Luna. After missing the time, I became more depressed and unbearable.

    However, Luna said, "It's not completely cured yet, but I'm still living well." "I'm ashamed to say to those who have endured pain alone for a long time like me, 'Let's not suffer alone until the day we get better, let's overcome it together'. It took courage,” .

    She also said, "When this performance starts, it will be very long, so I wanted to cheer and comfort you before that."

    She said, "I will greet you often.

    Luna, who debuted as a member of f(x) in 2009, went on to stand on her own in 2019 after her exclusive contract with her agency ended, and she continues to work as a singer and musical actress.

  • 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.
