• Cha Eun Woo’s English Confidence Shaken Over a Coffee Refill, His Adorable Struggle Will Melt Your Heart

    Cha Eun Woo had fans laughing when he struggled to ask for a coffee refill in English.

    On the January 10th episode of tvN's variety show "Rented in Finland", Cha Eun Woo joined Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, and Kwak Dong Yeon as they adapted to life in a remote rental home deep in the wilderness.

    After a long day, the group decided to relax at a local café in town. They enjoyed their break with coffee, ice cream, and other snacks.

    However, things took a funny turn when Cha Eun Woo asked, “Do they do coffee refills here?” and suggested deciding who would ask by playing rock-paper-scissors.

    When he lost, Eun Woo hesitated, nervously saying, “Am I really going?” He even questioned himself, asking, “Refill is English, right?” Fans were surprised to see the usually confident Cha Eun Woo feeling embarrassed and unsure about his English.

    Lee Dong Hwi tried to help, suggesting, “Maybe don’t use the word ‘refill,’” before teasing him, “Eun Woo is really bad at this stuff. Remember how embarrassed he was at the restaurant yesterday?”

    Finally, Cha Eun Woo mustered up the courage to approach the café owner and asked, “Could I have some more coffee?” To his relief, the owner replied, “Yes”.

    Wasting no time, Eun Woo filled his cup to the brim and even awkwardly complimented, “It’s so delicious,” before quickly returning to his group.

    When he got back, Lee Dong Hwi jokingly accused him, “Did you sneak it without asking?” Laughing, Eun Woo defended himself, “Hyung, I’m not that kind of person!” and proudly shared, “I got the refill without even using the word ‘refill’”.

    This adorable moment of Cha Eun Woo struggling with English had fans swooning over his relatable charm and humor!

  • Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk’s Drama 'Love Scout' Sparks Controversy, Director’s Past Assault and Defamation Case Resurfaces

    The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

    Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

    This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

    On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

    They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

    They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

    The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

    The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

    It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

    Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
