Recently, a video of Lee Hyori on her way to work for KBS 2TV's show "The Seasons – Lee Hyori's Red Carpet" went viral online, and people disagreed about how some fans in the video were acting.

Fans swarmed Lee Hyori as soon as she walked into the video.

Her friends put a cute headband on her and told her to act like she was magic.

That's when someone saw Lee Hyori with both hands held.

During that one-minute video, Lee Hyori and her fans were having a nice chat in a casual and friendly setting.

But some people said it was rude to get that close to Lee Hyori and were worried about safety and too much physical touch.

Fans shouldn't cross the line, they said. Others said, "They shouldn't have grabbed her wrists out of the blue," "I don't know why her manager didn't do anything and let the fans act like that," "If something went wrong, she would have been hurt," and so on.

However, fans who know how much Lee Hyori cares about and wants to talk to her long-time fans said that she even brought hot packs and gave them to fans who were waiting for her outside in the cold.

People who know how much Lee Hyori loves her fans said things like, "She felt safe and thankful that fans came to see her," "I think she was glad that fans came to support her," "I don't want this to cause any trouble," "Lee Hyorilooked thankful for the fans' presence; why did it become an issue?"

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.
