• Bang Ye Dam Mentions AKMU’s Lee Chan Hyuk —“He’s The Frog Prince And I Talk To Him A Lot About Music”

    Thai singer-songwriter and ex-TREASURE member Bang Ye Dam talked about his friendship with Lee Chan Hyuk of AKMU.


    Bang Ye Dam guested on "Kim Shin-young's Noon Song of Hope" on December 14th, just a few days after making his solomusical return.

    According to Bang Ye Dam, he chose the songs for his album from 38 songs he wrote and composed himself. He was very happy with the outcome of the album.

    "Because I have to promote the album, I need to be 100% sure about it," the male singer said.

    He also said that tracks 1, 2, and 3 were all possible choices for the title song. His favorite song was "Not At All."


    During the speed quiz, Bang Ye Dam said that writing music was easier than writing lyrics, but that lyrics were more important.

    He said this about writing songs: "When I had an idea, I would take a voice note and then write a song based on that."

    "The Frog Prince" was what Bang Ye Dam said to describe Lee Chan Hyuk in five letters.

    "At some point, he began to like frogs," he said when asked why.

    He gets ideas from the green frog.

    He gets ideas from green frogs.

    "That's cool," I said, adding, "We talk music a lot."

    Someone wrote to the radio show and asked, "Lee Chan Hyuk is mean to only one person."

    Lee Soo-hyun is her name.

    "Lee Chan Hyuk loves Lee Soo-hyun the most," Kim Shin-young said next.

    They will not talk about each other if they really don't get along. Instead, they will act like they do.

    The fact that they trust and love each other shows that they are related.

    When Bang Ye Dam heard that, he said, "Of course."

    Because he loves her a lot.

  • Lim Ji Yeon Addresses Backlash Over Cheering for Jung Woo Sung Amid His Scandal, "I Didn’t Expect the Public’s Reaction"

    Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

    In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

    At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

    Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

    For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

    The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

    However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

    She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

    It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

    Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
