• "Extracurricular" Actor Kim Dong Hee Acquitted Of All School Violence Allegations

    Actor Kim Dong Hee was acquitted of allegations of school violence.

    On the 28th, Kim Dong Hee‘s legal representative issued an official statement regarding the school violence allegations. “Kim Dong Hee has been trying for a long time to find the truth through a law enforcement agency about the allegations posted online in February,” they stated.

    The law firm continued, “During this process, we have submitted Kim Dong Hee’s own statement, statements of his teachers and classmates, and copies of his school records. But they were from so long ago, and because there was no clear evidence to support each other’s differences and claims, the investigation concluded that the actor was acquitted.”

    However, they stressed that Kim Dong Hee himself wanted to make things right regarding the allegations of bullying a disabled friend. They explained that the actor has two disabled family members and has been trying to mend the pains of his family since he was a boy. “The false information about harassing the disabled classmate became too much pain not only for him but also for his family,” the statement read.

    Lastly, Kim Dong Hee’s lawyer concluded, “There was a time that Kim Dong Hee had lost his way as he blamed his substandard environment. But he did not do anything that would cause a social scandal. But realizing that there were some who his immature words and actions might have hurt, he took the time to reflect on himself deeply.”

    Earlier this year, an article alleging Kim Dong Hee's school violence was posted on an online community. The author argued, "The people who are currently bullied are very cute compared to Kim Dong Hee". At that time, his agency Npio Entertainment said, "Kim Dong Hee has nothing to do with school violence," and "we will take legal action."

    Kim Dong Hee debuted in the web drama 'A-Teen' in 2018. Kim Dong Hee made a name for himself in the dramas 'SKY Castle', 'Itaewon Class' and 'Human Class'.

  • Koo Jun Yup May Still Inherit the Late Barbie Hsu’s Massive Fortune Despite a Prenup—Here’s What Experts Say About It

    Koo Jun Yup has been caught up in a surprising turn of events regarding his late wife, Barbie Hsu. Reports have revealed that the couple signed a prenuptial agreement before their marriage, but it’s causing some drama after her sudden passing.

    On February 10, Taiwan's ETtoday reported that Koo Jun Yup and Barbie Hsu agreed to separate their property before tying the knot.

    In an unexpected move, Koo Jun Yup transferred a mansion worth 16 billion won, located near Taiwan’s National Art Museum, to Barbie Hsu’s mother.

    However, it turns out the prenuptial agreement was never notarized in court, leading experts to believe it could be invalidated. This means Koo Jun Yup might still have a claim to Barbie Hsu's substantial estate.

    The couple married in 2022, but their love story goes way back. They first dated in 1998, before reconnecting in 2021 after Koo Jun Yup reached out to Barbie following her divorce from Wang Xiaofei.

    Tragically, Barbie Hsu passed away unexpectedly on February 2 from acute pneumonia while on a trip to Japan.

    She left behind a massive estate worth about 250 billion KRW, including luxurious properties like an 88.6 billion KRW mansion on National Art Museum grounds and a 160.4 billion KRW penthouse. Barbie also had a steady annual income of at least 3.5 billion KRW.

    In the absence of a will, Koo Jun Yup and their two children would usually split Barbie Hsu’s fortune, each receiving one-third. However, Koo Jun Yup has stated that he will give up his share and pass it directly to his mother-in-law.

    He also vowed to take legal action to protect his children's inheritance, ensuring no "bad people" can get their hands on it until they’re old enough to manage it themselves.

    It’s a heartbreaking and complicated situation for Koo Jun Yup, who is navigating the aftermath of his wife’s untimely death while trying to secure his family’s future.
