• "It's fine with me" — Lee Yi Kyung says he doesn't mind if his girlfriend 'stays out late with a male friend'

    Actor Lee Yi Kyung opened up about his relaxed approach to relationships on the May 21 episode of the YouTube show 'Salon Drip 2', hosted by comedian Jang Do Yeon.

    Reflecting on his past, Lee Yi Kyung shared, "Experiences with romantic relationships in my 20s made me who I am today. I was passionate and often jealous, even fighting with my ex on the street."

    Jang Do Yeon asked how he has changed over the years. Lee Yi Kyung explained, "I've learned that if someone wants to leave, they'll do it no matter what. So, I don't try too hard to hold on in those situations."

    The conversation then turned to a tricky topic: what if his girlfriend stayed out overnight with male friends? Lee Yi Kyung's answer surprised many. "I'd be fine with that," he said. "If she's going to leave me, she'll leave for any reason."

    Even when asked if he’d be okay with his girlfriend staying out alone with a guy friend, Lee Yi Kyung remained unfazed. "I'd think they are close friends or have a long history. And if she has a valid reason, it's fine with me."

    Jang Do Yeon pushed further, asking if he'd be okay with his girlfriend going on a trip with a guy friend because he's busy with filming.

    Lee Yi Kyung's response? "If that's really the reason, I'll even give her my credit card for the trip," he said, surprising the host.

    Lee Yi Kyung's open and trusting attitude towards relationships has certainly got people talking!

  • Lim Ji Yeon Addresses Backlash Over Cheering for Jung Woo Sung Amid His Scandal, "I Didn’t Expect the Public’s Reaction"

    Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

    In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

    At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

    Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

    For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

    The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

    However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

    She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

    It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

    Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
