Following the heartbreaking news of 8-year-old Kim Haneul’s tragic passing, IVE member Jang Wonyoung is facing an overwhelming number of requests from netizens, urging her to send a message or visit the memorial. However, some believe this is putting too much pressure on the idol.

On February 11, police confirmed that Haneul was found fatally stabbed in an elementary school in Seo-gu, Daejeon.

Despite immediate medical efforts, she sadly passed away. The suspect, a teacher in her 40s, was arrested at the scene.

After media reports revealed that Haneul was a big fan of Jang Wonyoung, IVE’s agency sent a condolence wreath and a photocard to express their sympathy.

In an interview, Haneul’s father shared his heartfelt wish, saying, “Haneul’s dream was Jang Wonyoung. If any IVE representatives see this, I would appreciate it if Jang Wonyoung could send a warm message as Haneul embarks on her final journey.”

Following this, Jang Wonyoung’s Instagram was flooded with comments from fans and netizens, pleading for her to acknowledge Haneul’s passing.

Some of the messages include:

“Please say something for Haneul.”

“She really loved you. Just a short message would mean a lot.”

“Her father made a request, please consider it.”

Some even went as far as suggesting she personally attend the funeral.

However, not everyone agrees with this level of expectation. Some netizens voiced concerns, saying:

“The wreath was enough. Why pressure her?”

“This is such a tragic situation, but forcing Jang Wonyoung to publicly mourn seems unfair.”

“People should respect her privacy and let her grieve in her own way.”

As of now, Jang Wonyoung has not made any statements regarding the situation. Fans are watching closely to see if she or her agency will respond further.

Shim Hyung Tak has introduced his newborn son, and people can’t stop talking about how much he resembles BTS’s Jungkook!

On the February 26 episode of Channel A’s Men’s Life These Days: Groom Class, the show gave viewers an update on Shim Hyung Tak and his wife Saya after they welcomed their baby boy.

During the show, Lee Seung Chul couldn’t help but notice how exhausted Shim looked from parenting duties.

Shim explained, “I was up with the baby until 6:30 AM today. I take care of him from 11 PM to 7 AM while my wife sleeps. Then, when she wakes up, I sleep, and we take turns raising him together.”

Shim also opened up about his wife’s tough labor experience. He shared, “She was in labor for 12 hours. A nurse even told me, ‘The mother was incredible. She endured the pain without even groaning.’” He expressed how grateful he was to his wife for her strength.

As the couple moved into a postpartum care center, they finally revealed their baby’s face for the first time. The cast members were in awe, exclaiming, “He’s so beautiful!”

Moon Se Yoon couldn’t hold back his reaction and joked, “He looks exactly like his mom and dad. Did he get a nose job before he was born?”

Shim Jin Hwa then made a surprising comment, saying, “I think he looks more like BTS’s Jungkook than his dad.” To this, Shim Hyung Tak laughed and replied, “I hope so.” Moon Se Yoon added, “He’s definitely going to be more handsome than you.”

Fans are already excited to see more of Shim Hyung Tak’s son, wondering if he’ll grow up to be as charming as Jungkook!
