• Han So Hee surprises her fans by appearing in an open chat room + clears up 'nose surgery' suspicions

    On November 30, actress Han So Hee surprised her fans by appearing in an open chat room! Open chat rooms on KakaoTalk allow users to join anonymous chat rooms based on certain themes or interests.

    There are many such open chat rooms dedicated to musicians, actors/actresses, and popular figures, and K-Pop artists have been known to drop in on these chat rooms to converse with fans directly. 

    First, to prove that she was the real Han So Hee and not an imposter, the actress shared some never-before-seen selcas, including one which showed the open chat room on a tablet screen.

    Next, Han So Hee told fans that she misses them, and further showed her appreciation for her fans by writing, "I'm immature and I want to try so many different things, and because I'm like this, there are those of you who go to great lengths to defend me and my actions.

    Thanks to your efforts, I am living the way I want without feeling too stressed. It's so reassuring to have you by my side, and I'm so grateful, but at the same time, I feel apologetic.

    When I thought about what being a 'fan' really means, I started to realize that fans should not be taken for granted. It is not a fact that a fan will stay a devoted fan forever. But you all are devoting yourselves to me, and you've put your faith in me. So I want to make one promise.

    I'm going to protect you. I promise not to think ill of you, I promise not to take you for granted, I will not grow lazy and develop feelings of contempt toward your devotion. This will be our promise." The actress then cleared up the possibility of anyone suspecting that she underwent plastic surgery to adjust her nose, stating, "I'm worried because the swelling from the inferior turbinate reduction surgery is not going away. Guys, I swear, I didn't put silicon in my nose. “

    My nose just got a little taller because the doctors straightened [the nasal turbinates]. Because of my rhinitis, my nose became deformed and I could only breathe through one nostril. I didn't always have a Squidward nose.

    I used to have a pretty high nose, but then because it grew unbalanced, the end eventually angled inward.

    The surgery actually helped straighten that out. But the thing about rhinitis? It always comes back. So I'll probably go back to having a Squidward nose soon too." 

    Meanwhile, Han So Hee will be starring as Chae Ok in the new Netflix action/thriller series, 'Gyeongseong Creature', premiering worldwide on December 22.

  • Won Bin clears the air after being dragged into Kim Sae Ron voice recording case

    Actor Won Bin has officially denied rumors linking him to the controversial voice recording source in the late Kim Sae Ron case.

    On May 9, a representative from his agency firmly stated, “Aside from attending Kim Sae Ron’s funeral to mourn her passing, Won Bin has no connection to the matter.”

    This was in response to speculation that the actor had helped the person who provided the voice recording tied to a major criminal case involving actor Kim Soo Hyun.

    The confusion started after a press conference on May 7, held by Garo Sero Research Institute’s head Kim Se Ui, who claimed the recording came from a Korean man in New Jersey, USA, who was later attacked.

    During the press conference, a voice recording from the man’s wife was played, where she briefly mentioned Won Bin. “I didn’t know who Won Bin was,” she said, “but he came quietly and showed respect. His kindness meant more to us than words can say.”

    This vague comment led to rumors that Won Bin had supported the family behind the voice recording, possibly even paying for Kim Sae Ron’s funeral — but his agency denied all of it, saying those claims are simply not true.

    Won Bin and Kim Sae Ron had previously worked together in the 2010 film The Man From Nowhere, and while Won Bin has remained largely out of the spotlight in recent years, he was seen attending Kim Sae Ron’s funeral, drawing attention from fans and media.

    Meanwhile, controversy continues to grow around the case involving Kim Soo Hyun, as his team claims the voice recording might be fake and created using AI. Legal battles are now unfolding between Kim Soo Hyun’s side, Kim Sae Ron’s family, and members of Garo Sero Research Institute.

    For now, Won Bin has made it clear: he was not involved in any part of the recording, and his only connection was quietly paying his respects to a former co-star.
