A Korean pancake (bunggeoppang) shop owner who went viral for his looks and striking resemblance to actor Jung Hae In is set to appear on the 300th episode of KBS Joy's Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller!

The upcoming January 20th episode will be a special one, celebrating the milestone with star-studded guests, including legendary MC Lee Kyung Kyu, who famously gave bold advice in the show’s highest-rated 95th episode. But stealing the spotlight is the viral sensation dubbed “the most handsome pancake maker.”

This multi-talented guest started his bunggeoppang business in the winter of 2024 while freelancing as a model.

To his surprise, casual videos of him making pancakes gained massive attention online, racking up over 40 million views!

Fans couldn’t help but notice his uncanny resemblance to Jung Hae In, and soon, long lines formed at his shop, attracting even international visitors.

Lee Kyung Kyu humorously reacted, saying, "Jung Hae In? Really?!" before admitting, "You're definitely the most handsome person making Korean pancakes."

Although the viral star has since stopped running the shop, the attention left him at a crossroads. Should he expand his business or chase his dream of becoming an entertainer?

Fellow MC Lee Soo Geun gave him heartfelt advice, saying, "You seem to have a lot of interests, but even focusing on one thing isn't easy."

This special episode will also feature comedian Lee Yoon Seok and divorce lawyer Lee In Cheol, who will share their unique stories. Don’t miss the 300th episode of Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller on January 20 at 8:30 PM KST, airing on KBS Joy!

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
