Kook Dong Ho, a contestant from Single’s Inferno 4, has finally spoken up about the rumors questioning his sexuality.

On February 18, Park Hae Rin uploaded a new video on her YouTube channel What Hae Rin?, featuring fellow Single’s Inferno 4 contestants Kook Dong Ho and Jung Yu Jin as guests.

The trio had a candid talk about their experiences on the show, and later, Jang Tae Oh made a surprise appearance, spilling some behind-the-scenes details that weren’t shown on air.

During their conversation, Park Hae Rin gave her guests the chance to clear up any misunderstandings.

“If there’s something you couldn’t say before or want to clarify, now’s your chance,” she said. At that moment, Jung Yu Jin looked at Kook Dong Ho and teased, “Oh? Speaking of clarifications…” immediately grabbing everyone’s attention.

Park Hae Rin then boldly asked, “You were on Single’s Inferno, but I noticed there were some gay rumors about you.” She even joked, “So that’s why you didn’t pick me, huh?”

Kook Dong Ho, however, denied the speculation right away. “That’s not true at all,” he said. Taking on a serious tone, he continued, “I need to be very clear about this. I’ll speak freely here.”

He then addressed the rumors directly, saying, “I’ve seen those comments too. I believe in being honest, so to put it simply, I am 100% heterosexual. Not choosing Hae Rin had nothing to do with that.”

He added, “I really wanted to clear this up because it’s been frustrating to see the misunderstanding spread.”

Ever since his appearance on Single’s Inferno 4, discussions about Kook Dong Ho’s sexuality have been circulating on online forums and social media.

Until now, he had never commented on the speculation. But through What Hae Rin?, he finally set the record straight.

The When Life Gives You Tangerines cast melted fans’ hearts once again — this time off-screen!

On April 15, the VIP premiere of the film Yadang took place at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and it quickly turned into a Poksak reunion.

The event was already buzzing with big names like Uhm Tae Woong (who made his first appearance in 8 years), Lee Min Ho, Ha Ji Won, Lee Joo Young, Hyeri, Lee Yu Bi, Kim Sung Kyun, and even Single’s Inferno 4's Lee Si An.

But the surprise appearance of severalWhen Life Gives You Tangerines cast members made fans super emotional.

IU, who played Gwansik’s daughter Geum Myeong in the Netflix series, was spotted quietly entering the theater wearing a mask. A fan who noticed her shared a photo, writing, “Poksak daughter Geum Myeong is here!”

Kim Seon Ho also showed up and quickly got attention. Fans recognized him despite the mask and commented, “Chung Seop is here too!” and “Park Hae Joon’s son-in-law came!” Kim Seon Ho made a special appearance in the series as Geum Myeong’s husband.

Kang Yoo Seok, who played Eun Myeong Yi (Gwansik’s son), also came to support his on-screen dad. Fans left sweet comments like “The son is so thoughtful!”

And of course, Choi Dae Hoon — better known as “Hak Ssi Ahjussi” — made fans smile with his bright energy. People couldn’t stop talking about him, saying things like “He came to see his in-laws’ movie,” and “The whole When Life Gives You Tangerines family is here!”

Before the event, Park Hae Joon shared in an interview with Xports News that he wasn’t sure who would show up, saying, “Everyone’s really busy, so it depends on the situation. But I’d be really happy if we could meet again after a long time.”

Well, they did meet again — and fans couldn’t be happier.

In Poksak, Park Hae Joon played the loving father Gwansik, but in Yadang, he takes on a much tougher role as a drug squad detective who never gives up on catching criminals. His transformation is already gaining attention from fans eager to see him in a new light.

Meanwhile, Yadang officially hit theaters on April 16.
