MEOVV's Narin is making waves with her latest comments, and not everyone is pleased.

In a recent interview, Narin shared her thoughts on her favorite season, revealing, "I think every season has its own special charm! Still, I like summer the most! Maybe it's because my birthday is in the summer? My birthday is on August 15th! It’s also Liberation Day! So, it’s always really hot on my birthday."

Narin's mention of Liberation Day and the Taegeukgi (Korean flag) in her personal teaser has raised eyebrows. She continued, "Speaking of Liberation Day, it reminded me that there’s also a Taegeukgi in my personal teaser! Did you know? In my personal teaser, there’s a Taegeukgi in a classroom-like setting, and the concept of that place is 'outdoor classroom.' It’s a fresh concept, so it stands out in my memory."

While Narin's enthusiasm for her birthday and the Taegeukgi is clear, some fans are questioning whether these references might be a misstep, particularly with her Japanese fans.

Comments are mixed:

"Freaking likable."

"She's likeable."

"Freaking likable, let me support her now."

"Who cares about Japanese fans ㅋㅋ? Anyways, Narin is freaking likable."

"I don't know much about MEOVV but she's freaking likable."

"Time to listen to MEOVV."

"Aside from whether this is a hit or miss statement or not, the fact that she confidently talks like that when they have a Japanese member in the team is quite fascinating. Looks like she doesn't really mind things like that."

"Freaking likable, MEOVV fighting!!!"

"Why is she not allowed to mention Liberation Day? We were freed from Japan and this was our birthday. Narin fighting."

"Nowadays I can't help but wonder if those are tactics to go viral.. But I find the members likable, so I guess they achieved their goal ㅋㅋㅋ."

Narin's candidness is certainly turning heads and sparking conversations. Whether this will boost MEOVV's visibility or stir up more controversy remains to be seen. Stay tuned!

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.
