Former SS501 member and actor Kim Hyun Joong has taken on a new role - as a farmer.

On May 1, Kim Hyun Joong shared a message on his social networking service, saying, "Rural life that started by chance."

In the accompanying photo, Kim Hyun Joong is seen wearing a hat designed to block the sunlight, looking every bit the part of a typical farmer.

Kim Hyun Joong expressed his respect for those who work sincerely in agriculture, saying, "I respect those who are engaged in agriculture."

He added, "Please check out my rural story on YouTube. When the corn grows, I will share it with my subscribers."

Netizens responded with comments such as "I hope your farming content does well" and "Looking forward to the corn."

Meanwhile, Kim Hyun Joong has faced several legal battles in the past. In 2014, he was embroiled in assault allegations from his former girlfriend and a paternity lawsuit regarding a child his former girlfriend gave birth to.

He was acquitted of assault charges as his cellphone provided crucial evidence. However, the child was confirmed to be his through paternity testing.

In March 2017, while serving in the military, Kim Hyun Joong was caught driving under the influence, stirring controversy once again.

Debuting with the group SS501 in 2005, Kim Hyun Joong is currently active as a solo singer and actor. Last year in February, he also released his third studio album, 'MY SUN.'

As Kim Hyun Joong continues to share updates about his new rural life, fans are eagerly awaiting more stories and are sending their love and support to the singer.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
