• Somyi, Former Member of DIA, Defends Her Choice to Smoke Despite Negative Fan Feedback

    Former DIA member Somyi has been causing a stir online after she posted a smoking selfie on her Instagram account.

    The singer, who is now an internet broadcast BJ, posted the photo on the 27th, with no particular caption.

    In the photo, Somyi can be seen holding a vape in one hand and exhaling smoke from her mouth. While some fans were supportive of her choice, others expressed disappointment and concern about the potential negative effects of smoking on her health.

    One fan left a comment saying, "Cigarettes… it's getting worse. Som unnie," expressing their disappointment. However, Somyi showed a defensive attitude in response, saying, "Whether I smoke or not is up to me."

    The fan expressed disappointment, saying, "It seems like you've changed a lot from before." This comment sparked a debate among fans about the singer's image and whether or not it has changed over time.

    Meanwhile, Somyi debuted as a member of DIA in 2017 but announced her departure in January last year.

    Since then, she has been pursuing a career as an internet broadcast BJ, gaining a following for her entertaining and engaging live streams.

    While it is ultimately up to Somyi to make her own choices about her health and lifestyle, her fans have expressed concern about the potential negative effects of smoking on her well-being.

    Hopefully, Somyi will take these concerns to heart and make decisions that are best for her health and happiness.

  • 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.
