Actor Jo Jung Suk's latest comedy venture is making waves!

According to Lotte Entertainment and the Korean Film Council’s ticketing network, the film 'Pilot,' directed by Kim Han-gyeol, has soared past 1 million viewers within just four days of its release on August 3.

'Pilot' achieved this milestone faster than any other Korean film released this summer, breaking the opening box office record previously held by the 2024 hit 'Excavation.'

In 'Pilot,' Jo Jung Suk stars as Han Jeong-woo, a successful airline pilot who faces a dramatic career setback and loses his job overnight.

To get back in the cockpit, he hilariously adopts his sister Jeong-mi’s (played by Han Sun-hwa) identity and even cross-dresses, leading to a whirlwind of comedic situations.

Jo Jung Suk’s comedic performance and unique storyline have clearly struck a chord with audiences, making 'Pilot' a box office hit in record time!

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
