• THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo Determined to Continue Promotions Despite Health Setback

    IST Entertainment has issued an update on the health of THE BOYZ Sunwoo . On November 24, the agency revealed that Sunwoo had experienced neck and shoulder pain earlier in the day.

    While initial plans were to immediately take him to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, Sunwoo expressed a strong desire to participate in that day’s episode of “Music Bank.” Consequently, the decision was made to send him to the hospital after the pre-recording.

    Later in the evening, IST Entertainment released another statement, disclosing that Sunwoo had been diagnosed with neuralgia and neuritis in the neck and shoulder area following his hospital visit.

    Despite the doctor’s advice for Sunwoo to “minimize excessive movement for the time being,” the artist has shown “strong determination” to be part of THE BOYZ’s comeback promotions for their newly released album.

    As a result, Sunwoo will continue his activities “insofar as he can without overexerting himself.” The full statement from IST Entertainment reads as follows: “This is IST Entertainment. We are providing an update regarding THE BOYZ member Sunwoo’s health and future activities.

    This morning (November 24), Sunwoo complained of neck and shoulder pain, so immediately after today’s music show pre-recording, he went to the hospital. There, he was diagnosed with neuralgia and neuritis of the neck and shoulder area, and he received treatment.

    Based on the doctor’s opinion that he needs to minimize excessive movement for the time being, we discussed Sunwoo’s future participation in performances.

    As Sunwoo expressed strong determination to take part in album promotions, we chose to respect the artist’s opinion, and it was decided that he would continue activities insofar as he can without overexerting himself.

    Sunwoo will be joining THE BOYZ’s upcoming scheduled activities and taking part in the scheduled fan signing event, and it has been decided that, as much as possible, he will try to avoid any setbacks to the schedule that was promised to fans.

    We will consider our artist’s health our top priority, and we plan to continue to have Sunwoo undergo continuous treatment and to carefully check his condition so that his injury does not worsen.”

  • 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.
