• "No originality, it sounded more like Meghan Trainor" Netizens Blame P Nation For Their Disappointment In MAMAMOO Hwasa’s “I Love My Body”

    "I'm glad P Nation is making her happy, but GOD I HATE P NATION MUSIC."

    Hwasa of MAMAMOO put out her first song today since she left RBW and joined P Nation. "I Love My Body" is the name of the song, and its message is very Hwasa-like. In the teasers and music video, she looked absolutely beautiful.

    Fans were hoping that this would be another hit from the MAMAMOO maknae because the message and teases were so good. Now that the song is out, however, many people are unhappy.

    Netizens are saying that "I Love My Body" sounds like a typical Meghan Trainor song based on a bunch of comments about the song on Reddit.

    They think that, even though the words have a good message, they are too simple and not creative enough for a song by Hwasa.

    But Hwasa's new label is being blamed, not she herself, for the "disappointing" song. K-Pop fans have noticed a pattern in the music that P Nation puts out, and this isn't the first time that an artist has joined the label only to put out songs that aren't their normal style and therefore disappoint fans.

    HyunA is a good example of this. When she was with P Nation, many internet users thought that her music changed in a way that they didn't like.

    Some people are saying that the only good thing about "I Love My Body" is Hwasa herself, because she has such a great voice and is so confident and charismatic.

    Even so, people on Reddit have still said bad things about the song.

    All of the most popular comments on the post about "I Love My Body" are negative and blame P Nation for the song's lackluster sound.

    They hope that Hwasa will go back to the kind of music that made her famous and put her beautiful voice to good use in the future.

  • 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.
