Trot star Song Ga In is taking control of her career! The singer has officially established her very own one-person agency, GainDal Entertainment, and fans are buzzing with excitement for her next move.

On September 26, Star News confirmed that Song Ga In set up her agency on September 19, marking a bold new chapter in her journey as an artist. Naming the company after herself, she’s ready to take full command of her solo activities and embark on this independent path.

Earlier this year, Song Ga In parted ways with her former agency, PocketDol Studio, after her exclusive contract expired in April. Instead of renewing, the Miss Trot Season 1 winner decided to pursue a more independent route, sparking huge interest in what she would do next. And now, with GainDal Entertainment, she’s all set to show fans what she’s capable of!

In addition to launching her own agency, Song Ga In has signed a management contract with JG Star, home to iconic co-ed group Koyote and other artists like Kim Hee-jin and Yoon Seo-ryeong. With JG Star handling her management, marketing, and promotions, fans are eager to see what kind of comeback she has in store for them.

In an exclusive interview with Star News, Song Ga In gave fans a sneak peek into her upcoming album. "I'm preparing songs focused on traditional trot," she revealed, building even more anticipation for her return.

Since her debut in 2012 with the single "Mountain Wind, River Wind, and Love Song," Song Ga In has captivated audiences with her rich, soulful vocals. Now, all eyes are on her as she steps into this exciting new phase of her career.

Get ready, because Song Ga In is coming back stronger than ever!

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.
