Actress Choi Ji Woo shared that she hasn't visited Nami Island since starring in 'Winter Sonata'.

On the June 23rd episode of KBS 2TV's 'Super Junior Returns', titled 'Love Falls Again Today', viewers got a peek into the daily life of Jason and his son Jun Beom.

During the episode, Jason planned a special family trip to Nami Island to celebrate his mother's birthday.

Nami Island is where the famous drama 'Winter Sonata' (2002) was filmed, a show that brought Choi Ji Woo international fame and earned her the nickname 'Ji Woo Hime'.

'Winter Sonata' was a major hit with a peak viewership rating of 28.8%, playing a significant role in the Korean Wave.

When scenes from the drama, like the spot where she built a snowman, were shown, Choi Ji Woo remarked, "It's still the same."

She added, "I haven't been to Nami Island since 2002. I really want to visit with my daughter." Jason noted the lasting impact of 'Winter Sonata', saying, "Tourists still come and take lots of photos."

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.
