• MOMOLAND's JooE Explains Handwritten Letter Controversy Amid Disbandment News, Says Members Had Same Intentions

    On the 16th, MOMOLAND's JooE explained her side of the controversy over an allegedly copied handwritten letter.

    JooE shared a captured conversation with a fan on her social media, where she was asked if she simply copied the letter, to which JooE replied that "the six of us discussed and wrote the letter together as they all had the same meaning and depth of what we wanted to say to the fans, and that we were grateful for those who took the time to read the long letter."

    Previously, their agency MLD Entertainment announced the group's disbandment, stating that "MOMOLAND members Hyebin, Jane, Nayun, JooE, Ahin, and Nancy have respectfully agreed to end their exclusive contract after lengthy discussion and respecting each other's opinions."

    All six members also shared a handwritten letter expressing their feelings about the group's disbandment.

    However, some fans pointed out that the content of the six letters was almost identical, leading to accusations of a lack of sincerity.

    Many online users commented negatively, suggesting that the letters looked copied or like handwriting practice.

  • Fans lose it after seeing IU, Kim Seon Ho, and more "When Life Gives You Tangerines" stars reunite at one special event

    The When Life Gives You Tangerines cast melted fans’ hearts once again — this time off-screen!

    On April 15, the VIP premiere of the film Yadang took place at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and it quickly turned into a Poksak reunion.

    The event was already buzzing with big names like Uhm Tae Woong (who made his first appearance in 8 years), Lee Min Ho, Ha Ji Won, Lee Joo Young, Hyeri, Lee Yu Bi, Kim Sung Kyun, and even Single’s Inferno 4's Lee Si An.

    But the surprise appearance of severalWhen Life Gives You Tangerines cast members made fans super emotional.

    IU, who played Gwansik’s daughter Geum Myeong in the Netflix series, was spotted quietly entering the theater wearing a mask. A fan who noticed her shared a photo, writing, “Poksak daughter Geum Myeong is here!”

    Kim Seon Ho also showed up and quickly got attention. Fans recognized him despite the mask and commented, “Chung Seop is here too!” and “Park Hae Joon’s son-in-law came!” Kim Seon Ho made a special appearance in the series as Geum Myeong’s husband.

    Kang Yoo Seok, who played Eun Myeong Yi (Gwansik’s son), also came to support his on-screen dad. Fans left sweet comments like “The son is so thoughtful!”

    And of course, Choi Dae Hoon — better known as “Hak Ssi Ahjussi” — made fans smile with his bright energy. People couldn’t stop talking about him, saying things like “He came to see his in-laws’ movie,” and “The whole When Life Gives You Tangerines family is here!”

    Before the event, Park Hae Joon shared in an interview with Xports News that he wasn’t sure who would show up, saying, “Everyone’s really busy, so it depends on the situation. But I’d be really happy if we could meet again after a long time.”

    Well, they did meet again — and fans couldn’t be happier.

    In Poksak, Park Hae Joon played the loving father Gwansik, but in Yadang, he takes on a much tougher role as a drug squad detective who never gives up on catching criminals. His transformation is already gaining attention from fans eager to see him in a new light.

    Meanwhile, Yadang officially hit theaters on April 16.
