• [PHOTOS] Gong Yoo Is The Cover Model Of Marie Claire Korea

    Actor Gong Yoo, who shows his sincere acting by perfectly digesting each role based on his solid acting skills, decorated the cover of the October issue of 'Marie Claire'.

    Gong Yoo in the published pictorial revealed a unique personality and free side.

    Actor Gong Yoo, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut this year, answered in the interview that followed, 'After the age of 20 and 30, the power that leads me as an actor is changing.' “In the past, I was worried about what my role would look like and how I should act, but now that concern has been reversed. Rather, I think more about how I can influence this work and how my role will affect other characters and deliver energy. When choosing a work, in the past, I only looked at my character, but now I am more interested in what kind of story the producers want to tell through this work and what topics they want to raise.” he said.

    In response to a question about the YouTube video 'Public SEA Drifting', which became a hot topic after appearing in person recently, he said, "Without planning, composition, or script, I just turn on the camera in the morning and shoot according to the flow of consciousness. I want to show myself as I am.” He also talked about his desire to communicate with fans in a natural, unadorned way.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
