Rapper Lee Young Ji just revealed that NCT’s Mark surprised her with an expensive Rolex watch, worth around 16 million KRW (~$12,000 USD), and her reaction was priceless!

On January 29, Lee Young Ji took to Instagram to share her overwhelming feelings, writing, "I’ve only ever given Rolex watches to others but never owned one myself. But Mark gifted me one as a thank-you for featuring on his song. It was such a huge gift that I couldn’t even bring myself to wear it. I’ve just been keeping it, whispering, ‘The king’s ears are donkey ears.’"

She went on to explain how it all happened, saying, "During the music video shoot, Mark kept asking me if there was anything I wanted. I kept saying no, but he kept insisting. So, just as a joke, I told him to buy me a Porsche—never thinking he’d actually do anything. And then… he showed up with a Rolex, which I guess is kind of similar to a Porsche. I almost fainted!"

Mark even made sure she liked it, telling her she could be honest if she didn’t. Lee Young Ji hilariously added, "I just sat down and cried (exaggeration)."

She then made a dramatic promise, saying, "I told him I’d wear it until I retire, but he said I was being too much. Since he didn’t believe me, I told him I’d make sure to be buried with it—so he better live longer than me."

Ending her post, she expressed her gratitude, writing, "Mark, I’ll cherish this and wear it well. Thank you for inviting me on a great song and giving me such a thoughtful gift. My first-ever watch! Genius artist Lee Mark, wishing you long life and fortune!"

Lee Young Ji featured on Mark’s solo track Fraktsiya, released in December 2023, and it seems their collab turned into a truly unforgettable memory.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
