EXO member Baekhyun took a trip down memory lane and shared a special moment from his trainee days with Lee Soo Man.

On September 5, the YouTube channel ‘Frugal Hyung Shin Dong Yup’ released a new video.

During the video, host Shin Dong Yup asked Baekhyun, “If you had been in a co-ed band with a vocal position, wouldn’t you have been really popular?”

Baekhyun laughed and replied, “I didn’t feel popular at all,” drawing some playful laughter from the crew.

He then recalled, “The girls in my class would say, ‘I really don’t like Byun Baekhyun’ when they saw me. I was quite mischievous. But during a retreat or something, a close friend would tell me, ‘You’re pretty popular these days.’”

Shin Dong Yup followed up, “You didn’t train for long before becoming the main vocalist, right?” Baekhyun said, “I was lucky. It’s true that ‘opportunity comes suddenly.’”

He continued, “During my trainee days, Lee Soo Man brought in some investors for a company tour. I was in the middle of a vocal lesson when he suddenly asked, ‘Are you the new trainee? Want to sing?’ I sang, and it went really well that day.”

Baekhyun smiled and added, “When you do something well or feel good about it, you sense it right away. At that moment, I felt like I was about to debut.”

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
