Singer and actor No Min Woo shared his candid side on the latest episode of SBS's Shoes Off, Dolsing Four Men.

On September 3, No Min Woo, Solbi, and Hong Soo Ah joined the show as guests. During the episode, Hong Soo Ah revealed that a wealthy Chinese friend proposed to her as a joke. "He’s a close friend, and during dinner, he said, 'Soo-ah, you’re so beautiful. Let’s get married. My world of marrying me is yours,'" she laughed. "I thought it was just a playful joke because he’s a real friend and definitely not my type."

No Min Woo reminisced about his early days in showbiz, saying, "Back in kindergarten, I learned to be cautious after getting slapped by the 'queen bee' of the turtle class."

When Lee Sang Min asked about a female celebrity he was smitten with, No Min Woo revealed, "I saw her across the street and immediately crossed over to kiss her." He explained, "I was struck by her at first sight. It felt like everything was in slow motion. I wanted to show my feelings right away, so I just went for it. My urge to win her over made me act without thinking."

Despite his bold move, No Min Woo admitted he’s faced rejection. "I’m quite shy. There was a time when I went to a filming location to learn acting. An actress approached me first. She made it big earlier, while I was still just an extra. After that, I focused on my career and didn’t date for years."

No Min Woo also shared his ideal type, saying, "I’m a bit disorganized. I admire people who can handle that well. I like someone who can take the lead."

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
