• Hwasa Reveals Her 5 Billion Won Han River View Home: "Wow!"

    Singer Hwasa has given fans a glimpse of her new home with a stunning view of the Han River. On September 24, she showcased her beautiful house in the web entertainment show As Morning Goes By 2.

    In the episode, host Jang Sung-kyu toured Hwasa's home. He was amazed to see luxury cars in the parking garage and exclaimed, "It's like a motor show!" Jang also admired the elegant wooden door at the entrance, the spacious kitchen, and the breathtaking views of the Han River and nearby forest. The bright natural light in the living room really caught his eye.

    When Jang woke up Hwasa, he asked, "I searched for this house, and it seems expensive. Is it around 5 billion won?" Hwasa replied, "No, I don't own it yet. I’ve been moving around on Jeonse (lease) contracts. People tell me to buy a building, but I just think the space I'm living in is important. The moment I saw this house, I wanted to live here."

    Jang then asked, "Did you create the songs 'Dumb Dumb' and 'Maria'? They've been huge hits, so I imagine you're getting a lot in royalties. How much do you make each month?" Hwasa said, "I don't pay much attention to money on purpose. I don’t want to worry about it," and added, "When it comes in, it's been in the millions each month," surprising him.

    Hwasa also shared her journey from debuting with MAMAMOO to now, saying, "I lost weight from the 60 kg range to the low 50 kg range in just a month to debut. I never doubted myself. I was confident that I would become a star."

    Later, Jang asked about negative comments she might receive during her activities, especially during a university festival performance. Hwasa responded, "I guess there were many uncomfortable people. I think I should reflect on that as well," explaining, "It wasn't something I did on purpose. Sometimes, while performing, my focus can drift. Honestly, I don't even remember that moment."

    When Jang said, "So it wasn't planned," Hwasa clarified, "But actually, I couldn't sleep at all after the performance. I was so happy. I thought, 'This is why I perform,'" and added, "Since I was young, I've often been told that I was 'too much.' Such moments make me more cautious."

  • Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Claps Back at Late Sulli’s Brother’s Claims, Reveals Bed Scene Was Always Part of the Script for ‘Real’

    Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

    On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

    They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

    The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

    Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

    Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

    As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

    Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

    This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
