• "She literally reads them?" — BoA clears the air on comments about her lips in 'Marry My Husband'

    BoA surprised everyone by showing up in the popular show 'Marry My Husband' on TV. Since then, people can't stop talking about her.

    In the drama, BoA played a character named Oh Yu Ra, who became a big villain. Especially in Episode 11, she reached new heights as the bad guy, making things tough for Kang Ji Won (played by Park Min Young).

    After BoA appeared in the show, many online groups started discussing how she looked and acted. Some viewers thought her acting seemed weird, especially around her mouth. Some even guessed she had gotten too much Botox, making her look stiff around her philtrum area.

    But on February 7, BoA went live to talk directly about these negative comments. She explained to her fans, "People are talking about my lips. But actually, it's just a habit of mine. It might seem strange, but my lips are fine. You don't need to worry." She even showed her fans by touching her lips to prove they're natural.

    Some Korean internet users had things to say:

    "Looks like she reads the comments."

    "Her lips are cute. Haters should back off."

    "It's okay if people criticize her acting. She can get better. But attacking her appearance is just not right."

    "I'm not sure about her acting, but maybe she should stick to singing."

    "People shouldn't judge others by how they look."

    "I thought her acting was good."

  • RIIZE’s Wonbin Reveals Surprising Story Behind His SM Casting—‘I Was Just Lying in Bed When I Got the DM’

    The casting stories of SM Entertainment stars like aespa’s Karina, RIIZE’s Wonbin, and NCT WISH’s Sion are now out, and they’re all pretty wild!

    On February 1st, the second part of SBS’s K-POP The Beginning: SMTOWN 30 aired, shedding light on SM’s casting system—from the 90s street casting days to today’s high-tech methods.

    Fans were shocked to learn how some of their favorite idols got discovered in the most unexpected places!

    The head of SM's Artist Development Center shared how dedicated the team is, saying, "We go everywhere teenagers might be—schools, academies, and even social media! We’re everywhere." This is how Karina, Wonbin, and Sion got their big breaks.

    Karina revealed that she was first contacted by SM through an Instagram DM when she was in middle school and again in high school.

    Zion shared his story too, saying, "I made an Instagram, and SM saw it and DM’d me." But it was Wonbin’s story that really stood out!

    Wonbin confessed, "I was lying in bed after school when I got a DM saying it was from SM. I thought it was a scam, but I decided to go to the audition just in case."

    The head of the Artist Development Center shared more, saying, "When we first saw Wonbin’s video, they told us he was from Ulsan. I told them, ‘Pick him up at Seoul Station.’ Normally, we don’t do this, but we made an exception and had him brought in."

    Looks like you never know when the next big star could be discovered—even while lying in bed!
