Red Velvet's Joy recently revealed that she once struggled with body image issues and diet trends, admitting she was a "trend-following girl" in her younger years.

During the April 11th episode of MBC’s Home Alone, Joy shared a candid look at her life, from her home to her diet habits. She was joined by fellow guests Park Na Rae, Jeon Hyun Moo, Go Seung Hwan, Key, and Cocoon.

Joy started the episode by talking about her new life as a fully independent woman. "I didn’t think I deserved to join Home Alone at first because I’ve always lived with my parents or in dorms. But now I’ve been independent for six months," she shared. She then gave a glimpse of her cozy home, revealing that she personally decorated every detail. "I chose the wallpaper, the curtain color, and even the ceiling fan," she said.

Despite her cozy interior, Joy’s home had a quirky mix of things, leading to some funny moments with the guests. Park Na Rae joked, "This looks like a café," while Jeon Hyun Moo remarked, "Is this really your house?" Joy responded with a laugh, saying, "I have a lot of things, but that’s after I reduced them."

When the conversation shifted to Joy’s diet, she opened up about her current health focus. "I’m following a blood sugar diet. I drink water with lemon juice in the morning, take probiotics, omega-3, and I eat olive oil," she explained.

While eating apples and peanut butter, Joy confessed, "I’m a bit of a trend-following girl. When I get interested in something, I follow all the trends the algorithms show me."

But it wasn't just trends that Joy followed—she also shared some personal struggles. In an honest interview, Joy admitted, "I’ve always envied thin body types. If I could be born again, I would want to have a thin body." She continued, "In my 20s, I was really conscious of others’ opinions. I pushed myself too hard, like I was punishing myself. I was really harsh, and that affected my health." She explained that after changing her mindset and focusing on her health for herself, both her physical and mental well-being improved.

Joy’s honesty about her journey and her growth was both refreshing and relatable to many fans who are also navigating similar struggles.

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.
