Actress Cha Joo Young is clearing up rumors about her wealthy background!

On the February 19th episode of tvN’s You Quiz on the Block (Episode 281), Cha Joo Young appeared as a guest and addressed speculation that she comes from a privileged financial family.

She firmly denied the claims, saying, “Not at all.” When the hosts suggested that her studies in Malaysia and the U.S. may have sparked the rumors, she explained, “It’s true that my father works in finance. Most of my relatives are also in the financial sector, so I naturally thought I’d end up in finance too.”

Cha Joo Young then shared that studying abroad wasn’t even her choice! “I was doing ballet, but then I was suddenly told I had to go abroad. Within a week, I was sent off. At first, I thought I was going to the U.S., but then they told me, ‘You’re going to Malaysia.’"

She continued, "I asked, ‘Why?’ but the next thing I knew, I was already there.” She added that her father wanted her to experience different markets before attending college in the U.S. or U.K.

Hearing her story, Yoo Jae Suk jokingly said, “If you hadn’t become an actress, you might have been on the news as a fund manager or analyst, and you’d still end up on You Quiz that way,” making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Cha Joo Young studied business at the University of Utah. However, she clarified in a previous Allure Korea YouTube interview that she originally attended Utah State University, transferred to the University of Utah, but later returned to Utah State University to graduate because of her father’s insistence.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
