People in South Korea have been shocked by the news that star Kang Kyung Joon is being sued for having an affair with a married woman.

His wife, Jang Shin Young, got a lot of comments on her Instagram account after the event telling her to forgive him for the sake of their two kids.

People told Jang things like, "Think about your two kids," "Every couple goes through crises; getting through them makes for a happy family," "Hoping you both get through this and get back together," and "Please trust him one more time."

That being said, a big part of the online community in South Korea didn't like these well-meaning comments and was angry and frustrated with those who asked people to forgive:

"Being calm for her won't help, so just sit there."

"People are already pleading for forgiveness, and she hasn't even filed for divorce yet."

"Why are they telling her that?"

I love my family, and I can't stand this."

"It looks like a lot of people are crazy about men."

"These might be people who can't get divorced and think everyone should live like them."

"Why should someone forgive their cheating spouse?"

"I've been through something similar and felt unbearable pain."

My screams kept me up all night, and I even tried to calm down.

As a public person, Shin Young must be having even more trouble.

"Don't try to understand or forgive other people.

"She is now what's important."

"Why do people always say that women should look out for their families?"

"I hope she doesn't change her mind; she hasn't done anything wrong."

The event has caused a heated discussion on social media, showing the range of feelings and points of view connected to cheating, forgiving, and the societal expectations put on people who are having problems in their marriages.

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.
