• Netizens defend NMIXX's Haewon from haters who harshly criticize her eye-smile

    Netizens have recently started to criticize NMIXX's Haewon for the way she tries to smile with her eyes.

    On October 21, a Pann user put together a bunch of photos of the young performer smiling at a recent show and said mean things about her eye-smile.

    The netizen who wrote the post stated, "It bothers me that she probably thought, If I force a big smile on stage, people will talk about me as one of those idols who really enjoy being on stage, right?".

    Many people have started to say that it looks like she is just closing her eyes or forcing herself to squint instead of smiling naturally.

    The way an alleged anti-fan has been naming the different members of the group seems to fit with these comments.

    Other netizens commented:

    It's indeed cringe.

    To be honest, every idol today must be aware of how to act to get a lot of RTs on Twitter or to go viral on YouTube.

    It looks like NMIXX is making a lot of money these days, given how many forced hate posts they are getting.

    This one ㅋㅋ.

    I know what you're saying. She would be just as pretty if she smiled more often.

    I totally agree.

    I like her better this way because it shows that she wants to do things instead of just sitting around doing nothing… You f*ckers are upset about everything.

    Imong mama ㅋㅋ.

    What are your thoughts?

  • Lee Jun Young says he felt guilty and cried after acting mean to a grandma in 'Brave Citizen'

    Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

    On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

    During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

    He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

    The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

    “I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

    He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

    “In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

    Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
