"Jihoo, do you have a girlfriend?"

Kim Hyun Joong, an idol from the second generation, recently remade a scene from the hit show Boys Over Flowers, which he was in.

The show was one of the first Korean dramas to get a lot of attention outside of Korea. In 2023, jokes about the drama are popular again because of the over-the-top acting and cringe-worthy lines.

Kim Hyun Joong put his whole heart into the spoof. He even got the same actress who was in the scene with him back then to do it again.

The actor is not Korean, so this was not easy to do. Haiming from A'ST1 was in the scene back then as Jihoo's foreign friend.

Later, the deliberately wrong pronunciation and messed-up grammar became a famous meme.

Haiming agreed to be in the spoof without any trouble. In 2009, A'ST1 broke up, and Haiming went back to China to start his own entertainment business.

Fans couldn't believe that Kim Hyun Joong didn't seem to get older.

Kim Hyun Joong has really gotten better with age, as this shows.

Jihoo sunbae hasn't changed at all.

Some people said how much they missed him.

We would love to see Kim Hyun Joong show up in more K-dramas.

Fans of Boys Over Flowers can rest easy, though, because he hasn't forgotten about the popular series.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
