• Korean netizens defend Minji of NewJeans against claims that she had plastic surgery

    NewJeans‘s Minji has become a hot topic because of the comments she received on some of her solo photos in elementary.

    On September 27, a post about Minji began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “NEWJEANS MINJI'S SURGERY WAS NOT OBVIOUS AND WORKED OUT SO WELL.“.

    The netizen who posted said, “This was before to her operation. I believe she modified her nose and eyes.“

    "allegedly before surgery"

    In addition, the netizen said, "Her surgery went so well, it was no surprise."

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    No, but it's clear that she had surgery because everyone can see it. You're sure she didn't touch anything, right?

    "allegedly after surgery"

    My elementary school graduation picture as well looked like crap, but don't most elementary school graduation pictures look like that?

    When people are in elementary school, their nose bridges are usually all dead, so there's no way that it wouldn't get higher… As you get older, you lose your baby fat, your nose bridge gets higher, and your double eyelids become more visible.

    No, but the other academy teachers who recommended her for audition and her elementary and middle school classmates all said that her nose was already like that and that she didn't have surgery. So why do you always say that she did her nose?

    You're even more pitiful for pretending to compliment her while showing that you think you're better than her.

    Really, aren't you embarrassed to show pictures of female idols when they were young to show how they've changed and what needs to be fixed…? Is your face the same as it was when you were in first grade? As you grow up, your bones change shape and you lose baby fat. How thoughtless are you?

    What are your thoughts on this?

  • 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.
