"If I wear a priest’s robe, women seem to love it. Haha." (Kang Dong Won)

Kang Dong Won is back in a priest’s robe, and fans are losing their minds! If you were among those captivated by his iconic look in The Priests a decade ago, get ready for a nostalgic yet thrilling surprise. Kang Dong Won makes a special appearance in the new movie The Black Nuns, and yes, he’s wearing the robe again—and looking flawless as ever.

Back in the day, even Kang Dong Won was caught off guard by the unexpected reaction to his priestly look. “I didn’t realize women had a fantasy about priests’ robes,” he once admitted, amused by the attention. Since then, other actors have tried to pull off the same look, but let’s be real—Kang Dong Won will always be the OG when it comes to rocking the priest aesthetic.

His cameo in Dark Nuns is already creating a buzz. During the press screening, director Kwon Hyuk Jae shared his excitement, saying, “Fans of The Priests are going to love this. Seeing Kang Dong Won in that robe again, it felt like no time had passed. His dedication and preparation were truly inspiring.”

Co-star Jeon Yeo Bin couldn’t hide her admiration either. “When I saw him in the priest’s robe, it felt like flowers were blooming around him,” she gushed. “Was there a spotlight following him? I couldn’t believe how perfect he looked. Watching him on set was magical, and it made filming so much more enjoyable.”

Kang Dong Won’s appearance wasn’t just a coincidence. The production team at Zip Cinema, the company behind Dark Nuns, specifically envisioned him in the role. As a spin-off of The Priests, they wanted to bring back Choi Joon Ho (Kang Dong Won’s character) to tie the two stories together.

Executive producer Oh Hyo Jin explained, “While working on the script, we imagined an ending where Choi Joon Ho and Michaela (played by Jeon Yeo Bin) walk back into the city together. When we shared this idea with Kang Dong Won, he kindly agreed to take part. We’re so grateful for his support.”

Dark Nuns tells a gripping story about individuals performing a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. The intense performances and chilling plot promise to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Don’t miss Kang Dong Won’s legendary comeback in Dark Nuns, which hit theaters on January 24. Fans are already calling it the ultimate throwback moment.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
