• IU Opens Up About Struggling to Move Into New House, Reveals the Heartwarming Reason She Asked Yoo In Na for Help

    Singer IU recently revealed the reason she hasn’t moved into her new house yet, and it’s all because of her lack of imagination when it comes to space design!

    In a video uploaded on the Yoo In Na Radio YouTube channel on December 19, IU shared some updates about her life, including her long-awaited move.

    She admitted, “I am preparing to move, but as Yoo In Na knows, I have no imagination when it comes to organizing space.”

    She explained, “Some people just can't come up with a plan for how to organize things. I’m one of them. I’m not good with visual stuff, so I haven’t been able to move yet.”

    But IU wasn’t shy about praising her close friend, Yoo In Na, for her amazing talent when it comes to designing spaces. She said, Yoo In Na has put so much love into every corner of her house. Every little nook has a purpose. It reflects her life philosophy, and she’s really talented.”

    “I didn’t know this about her, even though she’s my close friend,” IU continued. “So, I begged her sweetly to help me with my move. She’s truly a professional at this.”

    In addition to home design struggles, IU also opened up about her battle with Skeeter Syndrome, a rare condition she suffers from due to mosquito bites. She explained, “When mosquitoes bite me, it causes huge lumps, like I’m an old man with a bump.” She added that the bites often lead to painful, pus-filled sores, which require antibiotics to treat. “It’s like a mosquito allergy,” IU said.

    Yoo In Na chimed in, saying, “I looked it up, and it’s called Skeeter Syndrome,” and IU confirmed, “Yes, the areas where I get bitten become severely swollen and blistered. Mosquitoes always bite my face, leaving scars. Some of those areas are numb, and even if I poke them with a needle, they don’t hurt.” This heartfelt confession from IU sparked sympathy from viewers.

    And for fans wondering about IU's relationship status, the singer has been publicly dating actor Lee Jong Suk since December 2022.

  • Hyun Bin Apologizes for the 'Ddongcha' Theory After 20 Years: "I Was Wrong" - Actor Clears the Air About Iconic Role

    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.
