Rookie Kim Jae Won properly imprinted his presence from his first appearance as Cha Seung Won's younger version in tvN's new Saturday and Sunday drama "Our Blues".

"Our Blues" (authored by Noh Hee Kyung/directed by Kim Kyu Tae/produced by G-Tist) is a drama about the sweet and bitter lives of people who are at the end of their lives, at the peak, or at the beginning.

In the childhood of Choi Han Soo (played by Cha Seung Won), who worked hard for his family but had a difficult existence, Kim Jae Won played a passionate role.

In the first broadcast, Han Soo met his friend Eun Hee (Lee Jung Eun) when he was transferred to his hometown of Jeju. As the first love of Eun Hee (played by Shim Dal Gi) when he was young, he caught the eye with her indifferent expression and blunt tone, but he secretly took care of her.

In particular, Han Soo Soo was asked by Miran (Yeon Si Woo) whether he kissed Eun Hee forcibly in front of the students. Even though he was in a situation, he said, "Me? You?" Forced? Forced? Hey, you liked it, too", he said, making viewers' hearts flutter.

In the second episode, Han Soo remembered his school days with Eun Hee (played by Lee Jung Eun). In his childhood, when he dreamed of the future without any worries, his appearance of smiling brightly and playing in the water in it was reminiscent of a fresh youth, contrary to his lethargic present.

As a result, Kim Jae Won's warm images and excellent proportions diverted attention away from his appearance. "Visual is great", "Jealous eyes, movements, and speech, becoming a guilty person", "Good acting, proportion is amazing" and "Where the heck did you come from?" are among the comments received in response to the tsundere behavior and the smiling face.

He made his acting debut with the web drama "No Going Back Romance," and he recently released the film "Dream Maker," in which he took an active role, and he is continuing to make strides, making him look forward to the future even more.

Meanwhile, "Our Blues" airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
