• 'Reply 1988' Actor Ahn Jae Hong Confirms Lead Role In Upcoming Netflix Webtoon-Based Drama 'Mask Girl'

    Actor Ahn Jae Hong will transform into the male protagonist of the Netflix series 'Mask Girl'.

    According to Ten Asia on November 25th, Ahn Jae Hong will appear as the male lead in 'Mask Girl'.

    The original webtoon 'Mask Girl' is an ordinary office woman with a severe sense of inferiority in appearance, and is caught up in various incidents while as an internet broadcasting BJ with her face covered with a mask.

    The webtoon 'Mask Girl' of the same name, serialized on Naver from 2015 to 2018, was also very popular at the time.

    In the drama, Ahn Jae Hong takes on the role of a man who loves Kim as a co-worker at a time when Kim Momi was ignored for being ugly.

    Previously, according to Sports Dong-a reports, actress Go Hyun Jung was selected for the role of the main character, Kim Momi.

    Kim Momi lives as an ordinary office worker during the day, but in the evening, she uses her superior body to cover her face with a mask and gets involved in various incidents while working as an internet broadcasting BJ.

    'Mask Girl' is the next film directed by Kim Yong Hoon of the movie 'Beasts That Cling to Straw' and aims to shoot next year.

    With the meeting of Go Hyun Jung and Ahn Jae Hong, attention is paid to what differentiated fun 'Mask Girl' will provide from the webtoon.

  • 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.
