Lee Hyori has become a hot topic because of former AOA member Jimin.

On September 15, news came out that Jimin would cover Lee Hyori's hit song "U-Go-Girl" on JTBC's "Another Universe". The reason for her choice is surprising netizens.

On the same day, a post about Lee Hyori began trending on Instiz's community board under the title, "Lee Hyori by AOA Jimin'S Side… A Story About How She Helped A Hoobae In Her Difficulat Times".

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "According to OSEN, Lee Hyori was the first person to message Jimin when she was going through her hardest time. Even though they didn't know each other before, Lee Hyori was sad for her hoobae and tried to help. Jimin dropped everything and flew to Jeju Island, where she lived with Lee Hyori and got back her strength".

Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with positive comments praising Lee Hyori for saving Jimin's life:

Wow… I knew that she didn't have a lot of close friends, but Lee Hyori reaching out to her first was such a sweet thing to do ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.

Wow, Lee Hyori is really cool.

Lee Hyori truly saved someone's life.

I hope that Jimin does well.

Even with Jimin's mistakes, Lee Hyori is by far the better person.

Putting aside the controversy, this action probably saved someone's life ㅎ..

Despite the positive comments, some netizens still have mixed reaction about Jimin receiving sympathy:

But…Why?

She has no reason to help her. Jimin has already become the bad guy in the entertainment business, and everyone knew it, right? Why wouldn't she just try to get in touch with her as someone who has been in a girl group before? If there are problems while promoting, it doesn't mean that one person has to be the aggressor and the other the victim.

Honestly, we could have ki*led someone. People did hurt her, that's true. People ganged up on her because they thought the other side was telling the truth. It's funny to see the general opinion suddenly change.

Huh…? But isn't Jimin the one who did this?

What are your thoughts on the post?

IU couldn’t help but praise her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Kim Seon Ho for his amazing and detailed acting — even revealing that one of his funniest and most touching moments wasn’t even in the script!

On April 3, Netflix Korea dropped a special behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, titled “We Shared All the TMIs and Behind-the-Scenes.”

The video featured director Kim Won Seok, along with cast members IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon, as they talked about the drama’s filming stories and shared fun trivia.

IU, who played Geum Myeong, opened up about her character’s first love Yeong Beom (played by Lee Jun Young), saying,
“They were each other’s first love and stayed together for seven years. There was no big fight between them. They broke up for a bad reason, but she still wishes he’s doing okay out there.”

She also talked about the drama’s clever twist, saying,
“There’s this part where Yeong Beom and Gwan Sik say similar lines, so the parents start thinking, ‘Did she bring home the same guy again?’ But in the end, it shows how different they are, which made the story even better.”

IU revealed she cried a lot during the breakup scene and said,
“Even reading the script made me cry. Jun Young and I were crying so much while filming.”
Director Kim added, “This might be the first K-drama where the ex-boyfriend doesn’t die, but the main character still gets to love both her first and second loves.”

Meanwhile, Park Hae Joon had nothing but compliments for Kim Seon Ho, who played Chung Seop.
He said, “Sun Ho doesn’t just go through the lines. He acts with his instincts. He reminded me of myself when I was younger — a bit loose and free, and I liked that about him.”

IU also brought up one memorable scene where Chung Seop stumbles while trying to grab a chair. She laughed and asked,
“That part where he walks and suddenly stumbles — wasn’t that not in the script?”
Director Kim Won Seok confirmed it was all Kim Seon Ho’s idea, saying, “It wasn’t scripted at all.”

That wasn’t the only moment he improvised. The director also revealed,
“There’s a line where he says, ‘Shall I peel the shrimp for you?’ and he briefly switches back to his real voice. That was also his own idea. His acting is full of small details like that.”

Fans were touched by IU’s sincere praise and how much freedom Kim Sun Ho used to build his character. With so many meaningful little moments, it’s no wonder When Life Gives You Tangerines is gaining love for its emotional depth and realistic storytelling.

Netizens reacted by saying:

• “Kim Seon Ho really gives life to every scene.”
• “IU noticing these small things proves how much she cares too.”
• “Kim Seon Ho’s shrimp line was one of my favorite parts!”
• “This cast is full of talent and heart.”

It turns out, sometimes the best acting moments… aren’t even written down.
