• Producer Na Yeong Seok confesses BTS's V was angry with him for "tricking" him into appearing on 'Jinny's Kitchen'

    Na Yeong Seok, the producer, said that V from BTS was mad at him for "tricking" him into going on Jinny's Kitchen.

    An important event for BTS's V was planned for December 8 by Producer Na Yeong Seok.

    This was the day that Producer Na asked Park Seo Joon to cook V a special birthday meal before he joined the military.

    Early in the morning, Producer Na and Park Seo Joon got together to make a bunch of different meals.

    They made the traditional birthday treat, seaweed soup, as well as other tasty foods and a cake that they made themselves.


    After bringing V his food and surprising him with a "Happy Birthday" song, they sat down with him and told him how grateful they were for him.

    Producer Na said, "V's someone who doesn't appear on variety programs too often but he appeared on 'Jinny's Kitchen' and I'm so greatful." He went on, "But what I'm most thankful for is that day."

    It had been four days since we started shooting.

    Producer Na told V he had told her a little lie when he said, "To be honest, we had to convince V to be on the show."

    That's why he asked us what we'd do when the restaurant wasn't open.

    I replied, "We hang out. In the morning, we swim, and at night, we drink."

    He was so happy when I told him we were going to hang out and he said, "I'm going swimming with Seo Joon Hyung."

    Then Producer Na told them, "But you know what's going on.

    We don't have time for those things.

    We have to get up early to get everything ready, and then we have to clean up at night.

    He told V how thankful he was by saying, "I'm actually really thankful because he put up with such a tough schedule."

    V was a little mad at me, to be honest.

    "Producer, this is not what you said," he said. "I heard him say that two or three times too," Park Seo Joon said.

    "I'm so grateful that he came all the way to Mexico and played the Maknae," producer Na said in the end.

    As a director, I was very grateful.

  • 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.
