Singer and actress IU successfully pulled off a hidden camera prank on Park Bo Gum with the help of her close friend Yoo In Na on Yoo In Radio!

On March 6th, Park Bo Gum appeared as a guest on the Meet the Person In Na segment of the YouTube channel Yoo In Radio. But what he didn’t know was that IU was secretly plotting a hilarious prank behind the scenes.

Before the recording, Yoo In Na and the production team teamed up with IU, who co-stars with Park Bo Gum in the upcoming Netflix drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, to plan a hidden camera prank.

IU went all out, disguising herself as a Yoo In Radio staff member by wearing a hat, mask, and glasses—completely unrecognizable!

From the start, IU boldly walked around the studio during breaks, blending in perfectly. At one point, she even got Park Bo Gum’s autograph without him suspecting a thing! He had no idea that the staff member he casually signed for was actually IU.

Then came the best moment—Park Bo Gum, feeling exhausted, let out a groan and said, "This is tough," during a phone call with IU.

And just when he least expected it, IU dramatically stormed into the studio, revealing her true identity! Park Bo Gum was completely shocked, unable to say a word, while IU and Yoo In Na burst into laughter over their successful prank.

Meanwhile, IU and Park Bo Gum’s highly anticipated drama When Life Gives You Tangerines is set to premiere on the 7th, and fans can’t wait to see their on-screen chemistry!

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
