Actors Lee Hyun Wook and Cha Joo Young are giving fans a whole new level of chemistry both on-screen and off-screen, leaving viewers in stitches with their playful banter on social media.

Recently, Lee Hyun Wook took to social media to promote his lead role in The Queen Who Crowns. He shared a post with the show's main poster, featuring him as Yi Bang Won and Cha Joo Young as the Queen, gazing lovingly at each other.

In the caption, he urged fans to tune in to the drama, airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 8:50 PM on tvN and streaming on TVING. “Please tune in to The Queen Who Crowns on TVING”, he wrote, adding, “Thank you for watching, and enjoy it together on TVING.”

Cha Joo Young responded to Lee Hyun Wook's post with a playful remark: “Stop attacking my nostrils!”—a funny reference to her nose being tagged in the photo. Lee Hyun Wook quickly fired back with, “Telling me what to do…” which had everyone laughing.

The fun didn’t stop there! A fan commented, “Please love each other!” to which Lee Hyun Wook, staying in character as Yi Bang Won, responded, “My son is Sejong, so check your spelling!”

Another fan pointed out, “He’s calmer now that he’s a king,” and Lee Hyun Wook quickly shot back, “Do you want to be punished?” adding his fierce Yi Bang Won charm.

Things got even more hilarious when a fan with a profile picture of Lee Jun Hyuk said, “I think I’ve just become a fan,” and Lee Hyun Wook joked, “I’m going to tell Lee Jun Hyuk hyung on you,” showing off his witty side.

The official TVING account joined in on the fun too, saying, “I heard this comment section is a treasure, so I came to check it out~^^ Bang Won is really such a funny person.” Lee Hyun Wook replied with, “I need to work…”, proving just how much fun he’s having with his character.

Meanwhile, The Queen Who Crowns is making waves, with a 19+ version available on TVING up to episode 6.

The drama has quickly gained popularity, reaching a peak viewership of 5.2%, according to Nielsen Korea. Fans can’t get enough of the chemistry, both on and off-screen, between Lee Hyun Wook and Cha Joo Young!

Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
