• Han Sang Jin Blames Kang Ho Dong for His Variety Show Pay Cut?! The Unexpected Story That Left Everyone Laughing on 'Knowing Bros'

    Actor Han Sang Jin made everyone laugh with his unexpected variety show skills on JTBC’s Knowing Bros!

    On the February 15 episode, Han Sang Jin joined the lead actors of the upcoming film Sunny Day, which is set to hit theaters on the 19th. Right from the start, he had the cast cracking up with his funny yet relatable introduction.

    "I’m Han Sang Jin, an actor who still feels awkward whenever I appear on variety shows," he shyly said. Seeing his nervousness, Lee Soo Geun teased him, asking, "Sang Jin, are you feeling sick?"

    In response, Han Sang Jin quickly turned to his co-stars Choi Daniel and Jung Hye In, saying, "Don’t let them intimidate you!"—immediately setting the fun mood.

    Then, Han Sang Jin revealed that he was most excited to see Kang Ho Dong—but he also had a funny grudge against him!

    "There was a variety show I was invited to join, and I really wanted to film with Kang Ho Dong. So I even agreed to lower my appearance fee! But then I found out that Kang Ho Dong didn’t end up joining the show… But to be clear, it wasn’t his fault!" he explained, making everyone burst into laughter.

    However, Han Sang Jin didn’t stop there. He turned straight to Kang Ho Dong and jokingly confronted him, saying, "You were going to do it, right? You almost did it, didn’t you? I even lowered my fee because of you! But after that, my variety show appearance fee was cut in half, and it’s still the same to this day. It’s all because of you!"

    Hearing this, Kang Ho Dong dramatically fell to his knees, playfully apologizing, making the whole studio roar with laughter.

    Han Sang Jin also shared a bit about his personal life, revealing that he recently moved to Busan because of his wife.

    "My wife works in Busan, so I believe the money she earns should be spent in Busan," he said, showing his sweet and thoughtful side. His wife, a former basketball player turned coach, must be proud!

    Additionally, he flaunted his close friendship with Choi Daniel, revealing a heartwarming yet hilarious moment.

    "When he was in military training, he only had one chance to make a phone call and send a letter, and he used them both on me. I was worried the letter might get damaged, so I keep it in a safe."

    But when he revealed that he only brought a copy instead of the original, the cast couldn’t stop laughing!

    With his unexpected humor and natural chemistry with the Knowing Bros cast, Han Sang Jin definitely left a strong impression—maybe it’s time for more variety shows in his future!

  • Park Bo Gum shows he is good with money as his Jongno apartment rises by 500 million won in just one year and sets a new record

    Park Bo Gum is not just a talented actor — he’s showing he’s smart with money too!

    The star of Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다) recently made headlines after the value of his apartment jumped by a whopping 500 million won (about 370,000 USD) in just one year.

    According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s real estate transaction records revealed on the 19th, the apartment where Park Bo Gum lives — an 84㎡ unit in Gyeonghuigung Ja-i Complex 2 in Hongpa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul — was sold for a record-breaking 2.54 billion won on March 21st. The unit is located on the 11th floor.

    When you compare it to last year’s prices, which ranged from 1.95 billion to 2.05 billion won, that’s a massive increase of about 500 million won!

    Gyeonghuigung Ja-i is known as a luxury apartment complex inside Seoul’s historic Four Great Gates area. It’s super close to popular spots like Gwanghwamun, City Hall, and Seodaemun Station on Subway Line 5 — making it really easy to get to hot places like Yeouido, Mapo, and even Gangnam through Line 3’s Dongnimmun Station.

    It’s reported that Park Bo Gum moved there back in 2019 after leaving Mokdong in Yangcheon-gu, choosing Gyeonghuigung Ja-i mainly for its perfect location near his work spots.

    Other units in the same complex have also been seeing crazy price jumps! A 59㎡ unit recently sold for 1.85 billion won (15th floor) last month, and a 101㎡ unit was sold for 2.73 billion won (7th floor) in February.

    An insider from the real estate industry said, "Apartments near palaces will likely stay in high demand because of their historic meaning, the beautiful city surroundings, and great transportation."

    Looks like Park Bo Gum definitely made a smart move with this one.
