"Boys Planet 999" just started, but the trainees are already getting a lot of attention. Trainees from all over the world joined the reality survival program, whose main goal was to make a debut group.

Especially, trainee Jeon Ho Young is getting more and more known. Fans knew him from the movies he was in when he was a kid.

His list of roles is still short, but shows like "Ghost Doctor" and "Yumi's Cells" stand out. On "Boys Planet 999," it was nice to see him again.

He was born in 2004, and Wi Entertainment has only had him as a trainee for 11 months.

Not only did he star in well-known K-dramas, but he also played a major role in a Netflix movie that was praised all over the world.

Does anyone remember "To All the Boys I've Loved Before," a popular teen romance? "Always and Forever", the last movie in the trilogy, had a cameo by Jeon Ho Young. On the show, he was the guy who liked Kitty, the youngest sister.

Even though it was short, fans were excited to see him play the role again in XO, Kitty, which was a spinoff. Unfortunately, no one knows why he was replaced. Maybe it was because he changed jobs and became an idol. In his PR video, he said that he had appeared in the past.

Jeon Ho Young said, "I can speak English because I went to an international school in Turkey. So, thankfully, I had the chance to be in a number of works, such as "To All the Boys I've Loved Before,.""

What a surprise turn of events!

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.
