Kang Hye Won has become a hot topic because of the comments she received on her career throughout the years.

On October 13, a critical post about Kang Hye Won began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “KANG HYEWON IS PERFORMING BETTER THAN I EXPECTED AFTER DIBANDMENT?“.

The netizen who posted said, “I was curious about what she was doing after the group broke up, and she's doing pretty well here and there. She has many different promotions, and these are all her CFs…“.

The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

She's bad at acting and doesn't show any sign of wanting to work hard.

You can't bury her because she has a pretty face.

I thought it would be better for her not to be an idol. I'm not against her, but she wasn't very good as an idol. But it seems like she's on the right track…

She couldn't die of hunger after making her debut under Izone and having that face. Her character is unusual and surprising, so if she goes on variety shows, she can also hit daebak.

No, I have a different bias, but when I watched Seasons of Blossom, Kang Hyewon was so f*cking pretty that I took a screenshot… Really, you guys need to keep an eye on her. She fits Yoon Bomi's sole like a glove, and even though she started out as an idol, her acting is pretty good, so I became a fan.

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.
