The latest issue of "THE STAR" magazine features Bae In Hyuk, who plays the lead in the popular MBC drama "The Story of Park's Marriage Contract."

He looks very boyish and cute.

In the beginning of his interview, the star thanked fans for their support of "The Story of Park's Marriage Contract," in which he played Kang Tae Ha.

The love scandal between Bae In Hyuk and his co-star Lee Se Young came up after they were seen together at the "2023 MBC Drama Awards." Cameras caught the two stars holding hands. They were up for the "Best Couple" award.

"We held hands, but we didn't link our fingers," Bae In Hyuk said. He added, "We were up for the 'Best Couple' award, and since all the other couples were great senior actors, we thought, 'Let's show good chemistry too.'" Also, since the story wasn't over yet, our chemistry on screen was still going strong.

Bae In Hyuk said that he is currently taking a short break and hasn't been doing much since the end of his show. My favorite things to do for fun are sports, bowling, golf, and riding my bike. It's hard to find a good time to play soccer in the winter because it's too cold. "Our team had a game yesterday, but I couldn't go because it was late," he said.

When asked what kind of actor he wants people to remember him as, Bae In Hyuk said, "I want to be seen as an actor who can fit any role and become completely involved with the characters." I don't want people to think of me as Bae In Hyuk, but as the part I play in the show.

IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.
