IVE's Ahn Yujin has made waves in the entertainment industry and is now set to make a splash at the prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards.

She's been nominated for the Best Female Variety Performer at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards, a category that has seen the likes of Yoo Jae Suk, Kang Ho Dong, Shin Dong Yup, and Lee Young Ja as its winners.

Since its inception in 1986, no female idol has ever won this trophy, making Ahn Yujin's nomination a significant event.

Ahn Yujin's track record in the entertainment industry is impressive and award-worthy. She shone in 'Earth Arcade' and 'Crime Scene Returns' last year, exceeding expectations and creating a new entertainment character.

Her performances were not only dazzling but also showed her ability to immerse herself fully in various roles, earning her the title of a 'Surefire Character of Entertainment'.

Her dedication to both her main gig in IVE and her entertainment activities has been commendable, raising expectations for her win.

The anticipation for Ahn Yujin's potential win is high, but the competition isn't easy. Renowned entertainers like Kim Sook, Lee Soo Ji, Jang Do Yeon, and Hong Jin Kyung have also been nominated for the award.

Despite the tough competition, Ahn Yujin's nomination as an active idol among entertainers is already a significant achievement.

Whether she wins or not, her nomination gives us a glimpse into her entertainment activities, and we can't wait to see what she does next.

Kim Soo Hyun has admitted to dating the late Kim Sae Ron but strongly denies that their relationship began when she was a minor.

On March 14, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, released a statement saying, “Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron dated from the summer of 2019, after she became an adult, until the fall of 2020.” They emphasized, “The claim that he was in a relationship with her when she was a minor is not true.”

The agency also clarified that the photos of the two, which were revealed by Garo Sero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) and Kim Sae Ron herself, were taken in 2020 when she was already of legal age.

Regarding the legal implications of the allegations, lawyer Lee Go Eun appeared on YTN News to discuss whether Kim Soo Hyun could face charges if it were proven that he had been in a relationship with Kim Sae Ron when she was underage.

When asked about the possibility of legal punishment, Lee explained, “Under the law revised in May 2020, any physical relationship with a minor under the age of 16, even with consent, could lead to serious charges.”

However, she pointed out a key legal detail, saying, “Before the 2020 revision, the law applied only to minors under 13 years old. Since Kim Sae Ron was 15 in 2015, the legal framework at the time does not classify her as a protected minor in this context.”

Lee concluded, “Given the laws in place at the time, it seems difficult for Kim Soo Hyun to face legal consequences.”

She further added, “For any case to proceed against him, there would need to be clear evidence of more than just dating. Based on what is currently known, holding him legally accountable may be challenging.”
