• Lee Bum Soo's Wife Stands by Claims— "Everything About My Husband Is True"

    On March 25, Lee Yun Jin's legal representative provided an update on her situation amid her ongoing divorce from actor Lee Bum Soo.

    Speaking with OSEN via phone call, the representative affirmed, "The statements made by Lee Yun Jin are all accurate. She last saw her son when she visited Korea at the end of last year."

    Earlier, Lee Yun Jin had shared on social media about being denied access to the family home in Seoul simply because her daughter chose to attend middle school overseas.

    She also mentioned facing restrictions on entering the home due to her request for a divorce from the head of the household.

    In response to inquiries about her son Da Eul's well-being, Lee Yun Jin directly requested information in the comments section, indicating her concern for his welfare.

    Lee Yun Jin's legal representative further explained, "Lee Yun Jin remains without contact with her son Da Eul. She is eager to receive any updates about him."

    Regarding the divorce process, Lee Yun Jin's side initially sought mutual agreement but had to resort to mediation due to disagreements.

    However, the other party failed to attend the mediation, halting the process.

    Expressing frustration, the representative noted, "Understanding the intentions of the other party has proven challenging. Despite our desire for an amicable resolution, we have been forced into litigation. Our priority now is to expedite the divorce proceedings."

    In contrast, Lee Bum Soo's agency, Y1 Entertainment, confirmed that Lee Bum Soo is undergoing divorce mediation but refrained from further involvement to respect privacy.

    Addressing Lee Yun Jin's social media claims, the agency asserted their intention to address and refute them through legal channels, emphasizing discrepancies between her statements and the truth.

    They stated that Lee Bum Soo will respond sincerely within the legal framework.

  • Song Kang Ho Reveals Shocking Reason He Rejected "Joint Security Area" Role at First — Find Out Why He Changed His Mind

    Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

    On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

    Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

    During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

    He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

    Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

    Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
