“He uses umbrella indoors!” — Lee Jun Young’s Quirky ‘8th-Generation Chaebol’ Role in ‘Dreaming of Cinde Fxxxing Rella’ Sparks Curiosity
Korean netizens are buzzing with curiosity over a unique new drama character.
In the upcoming TVING-original rom-com series ‘Dreaming of Cinde Fxxxing Rella’, idol-turned-actor Lee Jun Young is set to play an 8th generation chaebol heir who has the peculiar habit of “using an umbrella indoors”.
These two unusual traits of the male lead have caught the attention of K-netizens, sparking questions like, “How can there be an 8th generation chaebol?”, “Unless this is set in the year 2200 or it’s a fantasy genre, I don’t understand how he can be an 8th generation chaebol lol”, “I want to know why he uses an umbrella indoors”, “Oh? This is a refreshing character”, and more.
Meanwhile, ‘Dreaming of Cinde Fxxxing Rella’ spins the tale of a woman who has given up on life and believes that her only shot at happiness is to snag a rich prince.
However, when she meets a real-life prince, she finds out that he has zero interest in romance.
This leads her to decide that she must become the prince herself and rescue the princess.
IVE Shatters Records With 5th Music Show Win for “Rebel Heart” & 2nd Consecutive Victory, Even Without M Countdown Airing - Here's How They Did It
IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!
On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.
The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!
This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.
Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."
They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."
“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.
But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.
Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.
With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
