TvN's romantic-comedy "Lovely Runner" (also known as "Run Away With Sun-Jae On Piggyback") recently wrapped up its finale, captivating audiences with its unique time-slip storyline penned by the acclaimed True Beauty screenwriter Lee Si Eun. Starring Byeon Woo Seok as Ryu Sun Jae and Kim Hye Yoon as Im Sol, the drama has garnered attention for its intriguing narrative.

The show's second male lead, Kim Tae Sung, portrayed by Song Geon Hee, emerged as a fan favorite amidst the series' popularity.

However, in a candid interview with The Fact, Song Geon Hee disclosed that he had contemplated stepping away from acting, nearly putting a halt to his career.

He revealed experiencing a slump following his appearance in the 2023 K-Drama "Joseon Attorney: A Morality," marking his twelfth project since his debut in 2018.

"After 'Joseon Attorney: A Morality,' I felt shattered. I experienced burnout and was consumed by various thoughts. I contemplated taking a break from work," Song Geon Hee confessed.

"If given the opportunity, I aspire to continue striving in my career. Concurrently, I aim to cherish my time as a 28-year-old,"

While uncertain about future projects, I pledge to reciprocate your support by immersing myself in diverse characters once again."

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.
