• Park Bo Young Cheers for T1 at ‘LoL Champs’ and Gifts Roses to Faker

    Actress Park Bo Young showed her love for T1 at the 2024 League of Legends (LoL) Champions Korea (LCK) Summer match. Known for being a huge LoL fan, she gave bouquets to T1 members before their match, supporting them in person.

    On June 29th, the first round of the 2024 LCK Summer match between T1 and KT Rolster took place at the Goyang Sono Arena. Singer Ailee sang the national anthem, and Park Bo Young was there to cheer on the players.

    Park Bo Young handed roses to T1's Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, and Keria, wishing them good luck. She later posted on her social media, “T1 Jeoppegu Fighting!!” along with photos of letters and gifts she received from the T1 players.

    Park Bo Young is a well-known ‘LoL fanatic.’ She often talks about playing LoL during her breaks and says her position is ADC (Attack Damage Carry).

    Last November, she appeared on the YouTube show ‘Salon Drip’ and talked about how she studies the game characters, saying, “An opponent once said I had a poor understanding of the game characters, and it made me angry. I always research characters.”

    She is also a dedicated fan of T1. Last November, she attended the 2023 League of Legends (LoL) World Championship at the Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome to cheer for T1.

    She posted photos of herself wearing a jumper with T1 Faker’s name and holding a banner with T1’s cheering slogan. She shared her joy when T1 defeated the Chinese team WBG and won the championship.

    In December, Park Bo Young attended a clothing brand event where she met T1. She posted photos of her “special time with T1” and shared them.

    During a live broadcast on the official Weverse, she said, “I haven’t attended an event in nearly 10 years. But I heard T1 would be there, so I went to satisfy my personal desire,” proudly showing off the photos she took.

    Park Bo Young’s dedication to T1 led to her being officially invited to the LCK, where she gave roses to T1 players before their match. After handing out the bouquets, she sat in the audience, proudly wearing the T1 uniform she received and watched the game with wide eyes, showing her genuine fan spirit.

  • 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.
