• IVE’s Ahn Yujin’s Apparent Reprimand of a Male Fan at a Performance Sparks Outrage Among Netizens

    A recent performance by IVE at the Incheon University Festival on May 7 has sparked a wave of concern and anger among netizens. The cause? Footage of IVE’s Yujin seemingly having to reprimand a fan.

    Following the performance, a fan shared photos highlighting a series of moments where Yujin appeared to be scolding a person in the crowd.

    While the photos themselves couldn’t confirm the issue, the fan explained that in a few videos they watched, someone in the crowd seemed to be making Yujin feel uncomfortable.

    The fan shared, “I watched a few videos shot at a distance and noticed there seems to be someone off-stage making (Yujin) uncomfortable, and that’s why there was a series of actions from (Wonyoung) to protect (Yujin). It seems like (Yujin) feels a bit pissed off too. Incheon University is really…can we only allow girls to stand at the front next time?”

    When the tweet was shared, international fans expressed their anger at someone using an opportunity like this to make the members feel uncomfortable, praising Yujin for calling them out.

    A Chinese fan shared the actual video clip of what happened and Yujin’s reaction. In her tweet, the fan explained that they didn’t want to make accusations, but Yujin’s expression didn’t seem like they were pointing at the person in the crowd in a positive way.

    “I don’t want to make groundless accusations, but watching the opening greeting closely, it seems strange. The members kept looking in the same direction. Ahn’s expression and finger-pointing aren’t giving off a ‘that fan is awesome’ vibe. I hope everything is alright,” the fan shared.

    Considering the members are so young, it’s not surprising that fans are worried when incidents like this happen. Stay tuned for more updates on this matter.

  • 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."
