• Jang Ki Yong Says His Dream of Working with Song Hye Kyo Came True with ‘Now, We Are Breaking Up’

    Actors Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong boasted their perfect chemistry in the pictorial.

    The two, who worked as a couple through the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Now, We're Breaking Up (hereafter Jihe-jung)', which will be aired for the first time on the 12th, filmed a pictorial with the fashion culture magazine Dazed before the broadcast.

    In the cover story with Fendi, the two showed a perfect couple breathing. In an interview with the pictorial, Song Hye-kyo said, "Love walks into the life of Young Eun, who wants to stay professional but lives freely without being swayed by personal emotions, once again. But even then, she makes wise decisions and thinks healthy. I’m learning from her as I act. " she said, expressing her affection for the character.

    Jang Ki-yong said, “Jae-guk i full of passion and confidence in his life as well as his work.” He added, “He is cool even in front of love, and in many ways, he’s very mature. He is quite different from the roles I’ve played so far, so I had many worries.."

    What was the couple's breathing like? Jang Ki-yong said,  “Working with Song Hye Kyo was like a very distant goal that I had. A picture I had only drawn in my imagination came true much sooner than I expected, so I was all dazzled from the table read,” Jang answered. “I just thought I had to do a good job. I hope that when I’m standing with Song Hye Kyo, we look like Ha Young Eun and Yoon Jae Gul instead of two actors.”

    About Jang Ki-yong, Song Hye-kyo said, "I had a lot of difficulties while filming because he was an innocent, bright, cheerful, and flawless friend, but he followed me well until the end. Because he was a mature friend who didn't hurt his pride in asking questions and asking for help. I was able to help without any difficulties. Ki-yong seems to be loved wherever he goes."

    Now, We Are Breaking Up is a breaking-up version of Love Actually. It will paint out the sweet, spicy, and sour love story that writes “breakup” but reads it as “love.” The series will premiere on November 12th as a follow-up of One the Woman.

    Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong's pictorial can be seen through the 'Dazed' winter edition and website.

  • 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.
