Actor Ryu Jun Yeol who found himself in the middle of a love controversy with Han So Hee and ex girlfriend Hyeri, recently made his first public appearance and boy, it was quite a scene!

On May 10th, Ryu Jun Yeol was at the production announcement of Netflix's new series 'The 8 Show', held at the swanky Ambassador Pullman Hotel in Seoul. But instead of the show, all eyes were on him and his personal life.

'The 8 Show' is a thrilling Netflix series that follows the story of 8 individuals trapped in a mysterious space divided into 8 floors. They participate in a risky yet enticing show where the longer they stay, the more money they make.

Ryu Jun Yeol, who's been the talk of the town due to his recent love and breakup news, made his first official appearance since the controversy at this event.

Rumors of a rebound relationship started swirling when he acknowledged his relationship with Han So Hee in March. Ryu Jun Yeol chose to remain silent on these rumors, while Han So Hee stepped up to clarify, leaving fans intrigued.

Ryu Jun Yeol shared, "There were various posts on social media about my personal life, which were out of my control." He added, "I thought it was best to stay silent and accept the criticism rather than responding to each one."

He continued, "I've taken the time to read and reflect on the critical opinions. It's been a time of deep introspection since my debut. As this is a personal matter, I believe it's best discussed in a more appropriate setting," he concluded emphatically.

Hoping to steer the conversation back to his work, Ryu Jun Yeol added, "I'd like to focus on the show today." But alas, the questions about his personal life just kept coming.

One reporter even asked, "Considering the rumors surfaced during the promotion of your work, do you think you handled it well as a lead actor?" Ryu Jun Yeol couldn't hide his discomfort at the question.

In other news, 'The 8 Show', consisting of 8 episodes, is set to premiere on Netflix on May 17th.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
