• Korean Internet users talk about G-Dragon's rumored "Chanel fine for breaking contract"

    Rumors of G-Dragon facing consequences from Chanel due to drug use allegations have caused amusement among netizens.

    Despite the accusations, the male idol continues to face ongoing speculation. Recently, a topic titled "G-Dragon paying Chanel's contract penalty fee" was posted on the Korean forum Instiz, attracting attention.

    However, the topic debunked the rumors by pointing out that G-Dragon was seen wearing a cardigan from Chanel's Fall-Winter 23/24 Collection in an interview. This evidence suggests that his contract with Chanel remains intact.

    During the interview, G-Dragon wore a cardigan worth £3,960 (approximately $5,000 USD), confirming his ongoing association with the brand.

    Furthermore, commenters supported the original poster's claims by mentioning that Chanel had not removed any videos featuring G-Dragon, even in the midst of the drug accusations.

    Concerning the drug allegations against him, G-Dragon voluntarily visited the police station to assist with the investigation.

    He provided samples of hair and nails to prove his innocence and vehemently denied any involvement with drugs or the alleged witness.

    In the interview with Yonhap, G-Dragon expressed his emotions through tears. He explained his habit of stuttering and moving his body while walking as a result of careful thinking before speaking and constant dance practices.

    Addressing claims of arrogance during his appearance at the police station, G-Dragon clarified that he did not intend to come across that way and was actually anxious and nervous.

    Comments from netizens also reflected their support for G-Dragon and his association with Chanel, emphasizing the brand's continued support for the idol. Netizens expressed admiration for the cardigan he wore, noting its beauty.

  • 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.
