• Lee Jin Wook Confronts Critics—Addresses Viewer Backlash Towards 'Sweet Home 2' Head-On

    Lee Jin Wook talked about himself and the movie "Sweet Home 2" that he just finished.

    When it came out on Netflix on December 1, "Sweet Home 2" continued the story of the people who lived through Green Home. They moved to a new house and had to deal with new monsters.

    In Season 2, Lee Jin Wook came back as Pyeon Sang-wook, who had been taken over by Jung Eui-myung (Kim Sung-chul).

    When asked how he felt about the world in "Sweet Home," which is about a world that is about to end in disaster, Lee Jin-wook said, "It's not as bad as you might think when you're among the people."

    I believe it is a return to the simple way of life.

    The star talked about his part by saying, "Jung Eui-myung took over Pyeon Sang-wook's body, right?"

    He said, "I tried to follow Jung Eui-myung's thoughts instead of copying that character's expressions." He also said that Kim Sung-chul, who played Jung Eui-myung in Season 1, helped him.

    Some fans said that Season 2 didn't give Lee Jin Wook enough screen time.

    Lee Jin Wook made it clear: "I should have been in this season more." He also said, "If they watch Season 3, I think their disappointment will be eased a bit."

    I'm not really hungry for screen time, to be honest.


    Lee Jin Wook said, "I think it's because the expectations were so high." He was talking about how Season 2 got more bad reviews than Season 1.

    Even if the work is good, if there's something viewers want to see but can't find in the story, they might be let down. They also said, "Maybe the point of Season 3 was to make you feel let down in Season 2."

    The people should decide.

    Lee Jin Wook started acting without knowing much about it because acting wasn't his major. But after 20 years, he is now an experienced actor.

    The actor talked about himself by saying that he likes to try new things and think positively, but that he doesn't show much feeling.

    Because of how he is, Lee Jin Wook doesn't take complaints very seriously.

    "Judgment is just judgment," he said.

    I'll fix anything that needs to be fixed.

    When asked if accepting "Sweet Home 2" made him feel rushed, the star said, "No, I don't feel rushed at all."

    I worked hard on set and had fun doing it.

    He also liked how the young players were getting better.

    Song Kang, Go Min Si, and Lee Do Hyun have become well-known actors in the last three years, and Lee Jin Wook said, "I'm impressed and proud of them."

    Thank goodness they are making a big difference in bringing the movie business back to life.

    Finally, Lee Jin Wook admitted that his attitude in life helped him keep playing for 20 years. He said, "I made quick decisions and faced reality well."

    I usually make choices that make sense given the circumstances and after giving them a lot of thought.

  • Choi Si Hoon dragged into queer dating show drama—netizens claim he’s the shady CEO, fans beg Ailee to check

    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.
