In a sweet and bold moment that left IU feeling all kinds of emotions, TWICE's Tzuyu made a heart-fluttering confession to the beloved singer. The moment happened during the latest episode of IU's Palette, which aired on December 16th.

The episode, titled “Merry Merry Triosmasu (With TWICE) Ep. 30,” featured none other than TWICE as the special guests. IU shared how special it felt to see the group again, reminiscing about their past meetings during the winter.

“It feels like we haven’t met in a while. If I’m remembering right, we always meet in winter, like when you were at my concert, or at all the award shows we attended together,” IU said warmly, clearly excited to be with the group.

Nayeon, the lively member of TWICE, also shared a funny memory, saying, “Our first music festival after debuting was near COEX, and I remember seeing you washing your hands in a bathroom, wearing a purple velvet outfit and black pants.”

IU responded, “The most memorable moment for me was when Nayeon gave me a sunflower at the Gaon Chart Music Awards. It was so natural, I thought she was giving them to the other members too!” Nayeon chuckled, admitting that she was nervous about giving the sunflower and that her heart was racing at the time.

But the real jaw-dropping moment came when Tzuyu, the youngest member of TWICE, suddenly blurted out, “Please date me.”

Her bold confession left IU stunned and flustered. IU laughed nervously and jokingly replied, “Who said that?” before adding, “This is heart-fluttering.”

Fans couldn't get enough of the cute and spontaneous moment, and IU's genuine smile showed just how much she appreciated Tzuyu's playful confession.

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
