• Actor Jo In Sung Opens Up About Losing Confidence in Marriage and Dating: “Do I Still Have What It Takes?”

    Actor Jo In Sung recently shared his thoughts on dating and marriage, revealing that his confidence has taken a hit.

    On September 9, the YouTube channel "Sympathetic Hyung Shin Dong Yup" dropped a video where the actor got real about his feelings.

    Jo In Sung admitted, “Right now, I’m happy. But it’s not because of marriage. Even if I start dating again, I think I’d still be happy. Saying ‘I’ll never marry’ or ‘I have to get married’ is just too extreme,” hinting that he’s not completely against the idea.

    He also shared a personal story about his mom, saying, “I’m at the age where I should be married, and my mom keeps telling me, ‘You should at least have a kid.’”

    He reflected on this by adding, “People think living a ‘normal’ life means getting married and raising kids, but I wonder how tough that life must be. I think those people are really mature. When things get hard, I turn to famous people or books for advice, but honestly, my parents have been the best teachers and guides for me.”

    When asked about his dating life, Jo In Sung said, “It comes and goes, comes and goes.”

    He also opened up about a conversation with fellow actor Bae Sung Woo earlier this year. Jo In Sung said, “I called him and told him, ‘Hyung, I’m losing confidence as a man.’ I felt like I had a better shot dating younger women than someone my age or older, and I wondered, ‘Do I even have any charm left?’”

    Jo In Sung continued, “Sometimes I think, ‘I’m getting older little by little.’ Without my fame, I wonder, ‘Would younger women still like me?’ I mean, everyone from their 20s to their 60s is competition. So, I asked, ‘Am I still competitive?’ and Sung Woo hyung jokingly said, ‘Why are you doing this to me?’” His story brought some laughs.

  • Sunny’s surprise appearance at her uncle Lee Soo Man’s company has fans talking about her future plans

    Girls' Generation's Sunny was recently spotted supporting K-pop trainees at A2O Entertainment, the company started by her famous uncle, producer Lee Soo Man. This happened after she officially left SM Entertainment in August 2023.

    On April 7, A2O Entertainment shared a video titled “A2O Trainees 'A2O Summer Training Camp 2024' Highlights” on their official YouTube channel. The video showed A2O trainees heading to the United States for a special training camp.

    Fans were surprised when Sunny suddenly appeared in the video. She was seen visiting the recording studio and watching the trainees record music. Sitting in front of the console, she smiled warmly as she monitored their work, showing her full support.

    After the video was released, some netizens began wondering if Sunny is now working with her uncle behind the scenes. Many believe she might be helping him with music-related projects.

    For those who don’t know, Sunny is the youngest daughter of Lee Soo Young, who is Lee Soo Man’s older brother. Lee Soo Young is also well-known in the industry as the CEO of Starworld, a company that debuted the girl group Sugar in the early 2000s. Sugar had popular members like Hwang Jung Eum and Ayumi.

    A2O Entertainment is Lee Soo Man’s new project after he sold his shares in SM Entertainment to HYBE in 2023. Because of a non-compete agreement, he can't produce music in Korea for three years, so he’s now focusing on trainees based in the U.S.

    Even though Sunny left SM, she hasn’t cut ties with Girls' Generation. Back in January, all eight members reunited and shared a group photo, warming fans' hearts.

    Fans are now curious about Sunny’s next steps and whether this could mean a new chapter in her career—maybe as a mentor or producer?
