• EXO's Suho: "I Want to Be an Actor Like an Onion"

    Suho is proving to be as versatile as an onion with his varied roles in acting and singing. From playing a royal prince in 'Missing Crown Prince' to showcasing his humor at solo concerts, Suho defies categorization.

    In MBN's weekend drama 'Missing Crown Prince', Suho tackled his first historical role as Crown Prince Lee Geon.

    Initially hesitant about historical dramas, Suho explained, "I wanted more experience, but this project caught my eye because of the director and writer's pedigree. The script intrigued me, so I took on the challenge."

    Interestingly, fate seemed to intervene. Suho recalled, "I was growing my hair for a solo album when the offer came. It felt like destiny. I embraced it positively."

    Preparation for the role was intense. Suho immersed himself in the character, carrying scripts everywhere and recording himself rehearsing lines.

    He said, "I couldn't distinguish if I was acting as Lee Geon or just being myself, thanks to deep discussions with the director and writer."

    Drawing parallels between Lee Geon's leadership and his own role as EXO's leader, Suho shared, "Leading EXO for 12 years taught me responsibility. It helped me relate to Lee Geon's character."

    Suho's dedication paid off, earning praise for his emotional depth and regal presence. He reflected, "I'm satisfied with how I portrayed Lee Geon. Acting consumed my thoughts day and night, leaving no room for regrets."

    He particularly enjoyed injecting humor into his role, adding ad-libs like 'Bori Bori Ssal' to lighten the mood. Suho expressed, "I'm not a comedian, but I love adding fun elements."

    Looking ahead, Suho aims to continue challenging himself across different genres. He said, "I want to surprise audiences with new roles and show versatility like an onion, with no limits."

  • IU Secretly Watches Her Own Movie in a Theater, Drops Hints About Her Identity, but No One Recognizes Her?!

    IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

    On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

    She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

    Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

    IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

    Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

    She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

    But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint! she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

    Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

    After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

    On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

    Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
