• Song Hye Kyo Opens Up About Being Criticized for Starring in Another Romance Drama

    Song Hye Kyo's pictorial was released.

    Song Hye Kyo, the lead actress of the SBS drama 'Now, We Are Breaking Up'. which will be aired for the first time on November 12, released a cover story pictorial with a magazine.

    Song Hye Kyo, who does not change as much as Kang San changes, said, “As an actress, I’m never that distant from the fashion world. But I was a little surprised as I experienced indirectly what actually happens in a fashion company,” she shared. “I came to realize that it’s a battlefield where every minute and every second matters. It’s really fierce and frantic. I think the viewers will be able to enjoy what happens before the clothes we buy are put in stores.”

    In addition, Song Hye Kyo said, “I had these expectations for myself about how Song Hye Kyo’s romance in her 40s will be different from that in her 30s. Some might criticize that I’m starring in a romance series again, but now that I’ve finished filming it, I have no regrets. No matter who says what, I believe that choosing ‘Now, We Are Breaking Up’ at this point of my life was a good choice.”

    “For example, let’s assume that the levels of sadness I have to express in a scene are from 1 to 5. In the past, if I’ve only sensed level-1 sadness, as I get older and have more experience, now the level-4 sadness shakes up my heart. The sadness and pain that I was unaware of when I was young became a clear feeling as time passed,”- she continued

    Meanwhile, SBS' new Friday-Saturday drama 'Now, We're Breaking Up' starring Song Hye Kyo will premiere on the 12th.

  • 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.
