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.

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.
