• Netizens discuss how NewJeans seem to have no single "visual member" in their group

    Netizens talked about how NewJeans doesn't seem to have a single "visual member".

    On November 4, one netizen created a post on an online community forum titled, "Seriously, doesn't the way Newjeans looks just depend on your personal taste?".

    Here, the netizen included photos of the NewJeans members, where all five members showed their stunning visuals and different charms. 

    The netizen further wrote, "In other groups, there's really one member whose looks and body make it clear that they are the 'visual' member. The problem with from this group is that there's no obvious 'visual' member. All of them have unique looks, so only one of them can be the visual".

    In response, some netizens commented:

    "Minji is the classic beauty, Hanni is a stan magnet, Hyein is tall and has good proportions, so when she gets older, she will have a lot of die-hard fans, and there's no need to say anything about Danielle… Everyone else would call her pretty, except for kids who don't like mixed-blood people"

    "I like Hanni"

    "It does look like a matter of taste. I like the style of innocent puppies, so I think Minji is the most attractive. Even in IVE, Ahn Yujin is the most likeable member for me".

    "But honestly, they gathered all different styles of beauties".

    "Seriously, you can't leave anyone off this list… It's amazing how they got all of these beautiful kids together ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

    "I agree that they are all beautiful in their own ways, but Haerin is my favorite. I don't think she's just charming; I just think she's beautiful… Really, I can't wait to see her grow up".

    "A lot of fans' first choice is Hanni".

    "All of their visuals are above average, to be honest"

  • 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.
