Recently, netizens have been buzzing about Cha Eun Woo's alleged overseas date with American actress India Eisley.

On January 27, photos circulating on social media reportedly show Cha Eun Woo in Los Angeles, spending time with Eisley.

A netizen shared the images with the caption, "I saw Cha Eun Woo in Los Angeles. Couldn't take a clear picture, but it's him."

The photos captured Eisley and a man believed to be Cha Eun Woo enjoying a cafe date. Interestingly, rumors suggest that a top American hairstylist mentioned styling Eisley's hair for Cha Eun Woo's upcoming solo debut music video, but the alleged post has since been deleted.

Netizens had various reactions:

"Looks staged, lol."

"If it's him, maybe they're just having coffee for work. Why call it a date?"

"It's their personal life. If they're best friends or more, it's none of our business. No hate comments, please."

"Okay."

"Possibly featuring in Cha Eun Woo's music video. India's got a background in acting, and she's sexy."

"What's going on?"

"Seems like they're not trying to hide anything."

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.
