Netizens are talking about how AKMU's Chanhyuk shaved his head on stage.

On the most recent episode of "Inkigayo," a member of AKMU sang his solo song "Panorama" while his head was being shaved live on stage.

Chanhyuk later said that the performance was about rebirth, just like the story of the first song on his album, "Eyewitness Account."

On online community discussion boards, netizens talked about his style of performance and gave their thoughts on how good they thought his art was.

Almost everyone agreed that this is more "performance art" and that the focus is on his freedom to express himself.

Some people praised Chanhyuk for being brave and creative, but others said that he should "saved this level of personal performance for something like a solo concert."

Most people on the Internet thought his performance was interesting and said he was a unique artist.

Reactions include:

People do it on stage, so I don't see why this is a problem.

Wow, he really is a talented artist.

We also need artists like him. We're so sick of doing the same old things.

I'm for him.

I thought the way the song was played went well with the performance.

It seemed like I was watching a show from Hollywood.

I can't believe this is a domestic TV show.

I think it's a little too extreme.

I don't like it by my own standards lol. I don't think the general consensus that it's okay because he's not hurting anyone applies here lol. People are too easily swayed either way.

What are your thoughts?

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
