• Son Suk Ku Gets Real About His Ex Dating Someone New Right After Their Breakup—Admits He Got Mad Even Though He Ended It First

    Actor Son Suk Ku shared a personal story about his past relationship, and fans can't stop talking about it!

    On February 25, Son Suk Ku appeared as the "Male Lead of the Month" on the YouTube channel Yoo In Na’s Radio, where he reacted to a breakup story that hit a little too close to home.

    A listener shared how, after ending a five-year relationship, their ex posted a couple ring photo with a new partner just a month later.

    Playing the role of the ex-boyfriend, Son Suk Ku responded, "Did I act well? I think I did because I really relate to this story."

    Surprisingly, he then revealed he had been in a similar situation! "I was actually the one who suggested breaking up. We met abroad, but I returned to Korea, and we broke up after a long-distance relationship."

    He added, "We agreed to stay friends, but then I found out my ex was seeing someone new. I got really mad at her over video chat, saying, ‘Isn’t this a bit too much?’"

    Hearing this, Yoo In Na playfully called him out, saying, "But you were the one who wanted to break up?" Son Suk Ku laughed and admitted, "Yeah, this really feels like my own story."

    Curious about his thoughts, Yoo In Na asked, "How long should someone wait before dating again out of respect?" Son Suk Ku replied, "I think it's best not to make it too obvious to your ex, but at the same time, you have to move on at some point."

    He even came up with a “breakup timeline” rule, saying, "If you dated for two years, wait two months. If it was three years, wait three months." Yoo In Na immediately named it the ‘Son Suk Ku Law’!

    Later in the show, another juicy story was shared about a woman who suspected her boyfriend of lying after he disappeared for a day.

    His excuse? He was at the hospital because his mother collapsed—but his sister’s social media posts told a different story.

    Son Suk Ku commented, "There’s a chance he was doing something suspicious. But if you start thinking that being deceived means you’re losing out, the relationship becomes hard to maintain."

    He added, "Even so, if you care about the person, you should try to trust them. But if the doubts keep growing, you’ll only make yourself miserable."

    Yoo In Na then asked, "You sound like you have a healthy mindset about relationships. But you must have made some foolish mistakes too, right?"

    Laughing, Son Suk Ku confessed, "Of course! With age comes experience. I’ve been wrongly accused before, and once I came home to find all my stuff smashed. When you’re young and love passionately, you don’t really know how to handle things."

    His honest confessions had fans loving his candid side even more! What do you think of his ‘Son Suk Ku Law’?

  • Yook Sung Jae and Bona’s new drama ‘The Haunted Palace’ dominates Netflix charts and beats all SBS shows with double-digit ratings from the start

    SBS's new fantasy historical drama The Haunted Palace is already making waves both in South Korea and around the world.

    Starring Yook Sung Jae and Bona, the show exploded in popularity during its very first week — topping Netflix charts in multiple countries and hitting double-digit TV ratings straight out of the gate.

    On Korean television, The Haunted Palace shocked viewers with a strong start. Episode 1 pulled in a peak nationwide rating of 10.7%, instantly breaking the double-digit barrier.

    The Seoul area rating and the national average were both 9.2%, making it the highest-rated premiere of any SBS drama in 2025 so far.

    It also beat out other SBS dramas like Love Scout and Buried Hearts, and even took the #1 spot among all mini-series aired that week, showing that this drama isn’t just trending — it’s leading the pack. (According to Nielsen Korea)

    And the success didn’t stop on TV.

    As soon as The Haunted Palace dropped on Netflix, it jumped straight to #1 on “Today’s Top 10 TV Shows in South Korea”, proving its massive popularity on streaming platforms.

    Globally, it also ranked #1 in the TV series category in Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, showing that international fans are just as hooked.

    The drama is also doing incredibly well on South Korea’s own streaming trend charts. On KinoLights — a platform that tracks trends across all streaming services — The Haunted Palace ranked #1 overall, beating both films and dramas. (As of April 19)

    Fans are loving the unique story, which mixes fantasy, comedy, and creepy mystery. The drama follows Yeori, a shaman who denies her fate, and Kang Cheol I, a mythical Imoogi spirit trapped inside her first love’s body. Together, they face off against a terrifying ghost called Palcheok Gui — who has a dark grudge against the royal family.

    Episode 2 added even more excitement, with Kang Cheol I hilariously struggling to live like a normal human after 1,000 years.

    At the same time, Yeori starts hearing the voice of Yoon Gap’s spirit and tries to save him. By the end of the episode, it’s revealed that Prince Wonja (played by Park Jae Joon) is going mad due to Palcheok Gui — and that the ghost has already consumed Yoon Gap’s soul. The showdown between Kang Cheol I, Yeori, and the evil spirit is just getting started.

    With high ratings and top OTT rankings, The Haunted Palace is quickly becoming one of the biggest drama hits of the year.

    Episode 3 of The Haunted Palace airs on Friday, April 25 at 9:50 PM KST on SBS.
