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!

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
