Actress Ha Yeon Soo has finally addressed the rumors about her retirement that have been swirling around!

On December 11th, Ha Yeon Soo made a special appearance on Radio Star, a variety show on MBC, and shared her side of the story in a pre-release video titled, "Why Can’t You Find Ha Yeon Soo Even When You Search?"

In the video, Ha Yeon Soo explained, "I don’t even know what the special feature is, but they invited me to Radio Star. I’m not currently active in Korea, so I came here from Japan. Otherwise, I would still be in Japan."

She also revealed the reason she’s been spending time in Japan. "Originally, I was planning to study art there. But when I found out the tuition was over 150 million won, it was way too expensive. So, I decided to look for a company to work with instead," Ha Yeon Soo shared.

Kim Gu Ra humorously joked, "You started because you were stealing (from the art scene)!" to which Ha Yeon Soo laughed and smiled.

The topic of Ha Yeon Soo's rumored retirement also came up during the conversation. "I left for Japan, and whether it was for university or something else, I’m not really a fan of being in the spotlight. So, I deleted my profile just for fun, but it got blown out of proportion," she said. "They started saying 'Ha Yeon Soo retired', but that’s not true. I just deleted it, and it turned into a huge issue."

She also shared that her profile hasn't been restored yet, and she’s still looking for a Korean agency. "Please contact me," Ha Yeon Soo added.

When Kim Gu Ra asked her about balancing activities between Korea and Japan, Ha Yeon Soo confirmed, "Yes, my position in Japan is pretty stable now, and I have more control over my schedule. I’ve done commercials in Japan and become quite well-known."

Ha Yeon Soo moved to Japan in 2022 after her contract with her previous agency expired. Since then, she has been working as an actress in Japan, staying out of the spotlight in Korea.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
