Actor Joo Won surprised fans with his heartfelt support for firefighters in a recent segment of MBC's "Class Crossing the Line", airing on December 17th.

In a special pre-release video for the show, Joo Won became the second "phone friend" in the unexpected segment "Gap Phone Chance" hosted by Jeon Hyun Moo.

While Jeon Hyun Moo was chatting with firefighters at a fire station during their third business trip, he decided to surprise Joo Won with a phone call. After a long dialing tone, Joo Won picked up the phone and greeted Jeon Hyun Moo with a friendly, “Hey, hyung!”

When Jeon Hyun Moo asked what he was up to, Joo Won humorously replied, “Washing the dishes”, making everyone around burst into laughter with his casual response.

But the most touching moment came when Joo Won shared a personal story. He told the firefighters, “When I was young, being a firefighter was my dream, and I looked up to them so much.”

As he stars in the movie "Firefighters" as a rookie firefighter, Joo Won spoke with admiration for the real-life firefighters. “I think it’s a profession that everyone respects and aspires to”, he said. “You should be proud of it.” His words inspired the firefighters who were attending the lecture.

This heartfelt moment comes after Jeon Hyun Moo had previously arranged a phone call with trot singer Young Tak, who is popular with the grandmother rappers of Chilgok, North Gyeongsang.

With Joo Won now as the second phone friend, fans are eagerly waiting to see who Jeon Hyun Moo’s next surprise guest will be!

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
