Lee Dong Wook and Lim Soo Jung recently discussed their dating experiences and shared their thoughts on their new film, "Single in Seoul."

The press conference for the movie took place at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Seoul on November 14th.

Joining Lee Dong Wook and Lim Soo Jung were actors Jang Hyun Sung, Kim Ji Young, Lee Mi Do, Lee Sang Yi, Ji Yi Soo, and director Park Bum-soo. "Single in Seoul" revolves around power influencer Young-ho, played by Lee Dong Wook, and editor Hyun-jin, portrayed by Lim Soo Jung. The story unfolds when the two collaborate on a book about single life.

The film explores the development of their relationship, showcasing a love that audiences can relate to. Instead of focusing on their past, the movie delves into the current emotions of the characters.

Director Park explained that this intentional decision was not to reveal the past events, but rather to create curiosity surrounding their present-day feelings.

Memories of the past can become hazy, and the film aims to highlight how the characters have changed without explicitly referencing their history. Lee Dong Wook mentioned that he sympathizes with the idea of fuzzy memories in relationships.

He shared, "I don't remember clearly how we met, how we broke up, what day we broke up, and what kind of conversation we had. We all live with blurry memories in that way. Young-ho also feels the same." He added that he believes everyone has similar memories of past loves.

Lim Soo Jung emphasized that the romance in the movie is portrayed realistically without exaggeration.

She noted that the process of getting to know someone and opening up one's heart is not always a dramatic experience. Instead, it occurs naturally over time.

She appreciated how the two characters gradually open their hearts to each other in the film. "Single in Seoul" is set to premiere on November 29th, offering audiences a relatable and authentic portrayal of love and relationships.

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.
