• 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!

  • Sunmi’s NFT Project Raised Billions, Then Crashed—Now Angry Investors Want Answers

    Sunmi is caught up in controversy after the NFT project she promoted made billions of KRW—only to lose most of its value, leaving investors frustrated.

    According to Kyunghyang Shinmun on February 21, Sunmi, her agency, and a KOSDAQ-listed company launched the NFT collection Sunmiya Club in February 2022.

    The project used blockchain technology to verify ownership of digital assets, turning illustrations inspired by Sunmi’s career into NFTs. Buyers were promised exclusive services to increase their investment value.

    Thanks to Sunmi’s strong promotion, the NFTs were a huge success at first, selling out and making billions of KRW.

    However, things took a turn when the NFT market crashed due to the Terra-Luna crisis and the bankruptcy of the U.S. crypto exchange FTX in late 2022.

    By 2023, Sunmiya Club had stalled, and the once high-value NFTs dropped to just tens of thousands of KRW.

    As investors faced major losses, some turned their frustration toward Sunmi. In response, the company behind the project stated, “We have fully followed the roadmap announced at the beginning and have continued operations.

    The funds raised from the NFTs were used for operational costs and investments in a new platform launched last year.”

    Despite the company’s defense, many are still questioning what went wrong and whether Sunmi will address the backlash.
