Actor Park Jung Min is not shy about sharing his admiration for BLACKPINK's Jisoo, and his sweet confession has fans swooning!

On January 7th, at a press conference for the upcoming Coupang Play series Newtopia, held at the Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul, Park Jung Min didn’t hold back when talking about Jisoo.

Newtopia has already generated tons of buzz before its official release, especially because it pairs Park Jung Min with Jisoo in a thrilling romance set during a zombie apocalypse.

In the drama, Park Jung Min plays soldier Jae Yoon, while Jisoo portrays his girlfriend, Young Joo, a “military girlfriend” (gomshin).

Together, they navigate the chaos in Seoul during a zombie outbreak. Directed by Yoon Sung Hyun, known for The Night Watchman and Time to Hunt, the series has all the makings of a hit.

During the press event, Park Jung Min revealed just how big of a fan he is of BLACKPINK, especially Jisoo. He shared, "At my house, there's a display case where I only keep precious things."

He added, "At the very front, there are two signed BLACKPINK CDs. I’m a huge fan, and I even asked Kim Go Eun to get a signature for me."

He continued, "One CD says, 'Thank you for supporting me, Senior Jung Min,' and the other one says, 'Jung Min oppa, please take care of me~.' Looking at these, I think, 'I’ve lived well.' I never imagined I would be acting and speaking casually with Jisoo on set."

Jisoo was clearly touched by Park Jung Min’s kind words. She couldn’t hide her joy at hearing his confession.

She also shared a sweet moment about Park Jung Min’s dedication on set. "There was a scene where I had to talk to Jung Min oppa on the phone," Jisoo recalled.

"I could hear his voice so clearly, and it turns out he wasn’t even shooting that day. He was hiding behind the set just to record the phone call. I was really surprised, and it helped me get so immersed in the scene."

When asked by the host, Park Kyung Rim, if he usually goes the extra mile for phone scenes, Park Jung Min humorously admitted, "I’ve never done that before," which made everyone laugh.

Park Jung Min continued to praise Jisoo for her commitment, saying, "The filming location was in Yeongdeungpo, so I could go, but Jisoo came all the way to Anseong in Gyeonggi Province early in the morning. It really touched all of us."

The romance between Park Jung Min and Jisoo amidst a zombie crisis is set to premiere on February 7th, and fans are already excited to see their sweet chemistry on screen.

Actor Kim Soo Hyun's dedicated fanbase is taking action against online hate and false rumors aimed at damaging his reputation.

On April 22nd, the Kim Soo Hyun Fan Union (comprising Daum Cafe Yukaris and DC Inside Kim Soo Hyun Gallery) released a statement announcing they are working to file criminal charges against those spreading harmful slander about the actor.

Their lawyer, Yang Tae Young from Law Firm Siwoo, revealed that they plan to take legal action as soon as this week, filing a formal complaint at the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. According to the fan union, these online users are violating the Information and Communication Network Act by spreading malicious defamation.

While defamation cases can be pursued by third parties, unlike insults which require the victim to act, the fan union is determined to protect Kim Soo Hyun's reputation. They stated, "This is a voluntary movement to defend the actor’s rights and maintain a healthy fan culture. We won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as freedom of speech and will take action without hesitation."

The fan union also emphasized that this effort is not just limited to South Korea. International fans have joined the movement, showing support for the cause. The union has gathered solid evidence, including harmful comments, manipulated images, and false posts made over the past few months.

In a related move, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, filed a separate report with the authorities on April 15th, condemning the continuous spread of baseless rumors and unverified claims that have been damaging to the actor’s image. They also filed a defamation lawsuit.

This all stems from claims made by the family of late actress Kim Sae Ron, starting in March. Through the Garoseero Research Institute YouTube channel, they alleged that Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from November 2015 (when Kim Sae Ron was a minor) until July 2021. They presented supposed evidence such as handwritten letters Kim Soo Hyun allegedly sent to Kim Sae Ron during his military service and a photo of Kim Soo Hyun kissing Kim Sae Ron on the cheek.

In response, Kim Soo Hyun's agency clarified on March 14th that the actor only began a relationship with Kim Sae Ron after she became an adult, from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020. Kim Soo Hyun also addressed the rumors directly during a press conference on March 31st, stating, "I did not date Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor."

The situation continues to unfold, with fans and the actor taking a firm stance against the damaging rumors.
