An American entertainment media outlet faced backlash from fans after accidentally using a photo of BTS's Jimin (real name Park Jimin) in an article about news related to a French film.

On November 16, according to AFP News, the American media outlet Deadline published an article about the 'Révélations' event, where the French César Academy announces 32 emerging actors.

However, instead of using a photo of the actress Park Jimin, who played the lead role in the French film 'Return to Seoul', Deadline mistakenly used a photo of BTS's Jimin.

Fans of BTS quickly noticed the error and pointed out that Deadline correctly identified Park Jimin as a female in the article, but used BTS's Jimin's photo.

One social media user, X, criticized Deadline's mistake, stating, "It took me only 1 second to search for the cast of 'Return to Seoul' on Google. Especially when you don't know much about the artist you're writing about, make it a habit to search."

Additional users retweeted Deadline's post while expressing their disappointment and criticizing the outlet for the error.

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.
