• (G)I-DLE's Shuhua says she dreams of having a "pet business" if ever she gets exhausted from the industry

    (G)I-DLE's Shuhua has recently been in the spotlight for opening up about her struggles during her health-related hiatus.

    On February 17th, a video was uploaded on Kang Hyung Wook's YouTube channel 'Bodeum TV', titled 'The First Partnership Proposed by Hyung Wook to (G)I-DLE's Shuhua'.

    In the video, Shuhua made an appearance with her two dogs, Haku and Mata. When asked about her spending habits, particularly on her dogs, Shuhua shared, "I don't usually spend a lot. So, I dedicate most of my earnings to my dogs - food, treats, clothes, and more. The automatic ball thrower was the best purchase."

    She also humorously asked Kang Hyung Wook for a recommendation on an automatic shoe painting machine, to which he responded, "Shoe painting seems quite challenging," causing a round of laughter.

    Kang Hyung Wook, after conversing with Shuhua, noted, "Listening to Shuhua, it feels like she's someone who has been raising dogs for a long time. She doesn't just care for her dogs, but also knows when to be firm. This is a trait of long-time dog owners. Are you planning to venture into this field?"

    To this, Shuhua replied, "Yes, if I ever get too exhausted from the entertainment industry, I have a dream of running a pet business. When I open a pet kindergarten, I hope you'll visit often."

    Furthermore, when Kang Hyung Wook inquired about the difficulty of preparing for their upcoming album, Shuhua candidly admitted, "It's very challenging. We have daily schedules and we continue to practice even after guest appearances. Our title song 'Super Lady' is powerful, confident, and cool, just as the title suggests."

    She expressed her hopes for the song to be well-received and for people to continue listening even after the promotions end, adding, "All of our members worked hard and we are grateful to Neverland."

    (G)I-DLE, which Shuhua is a part of, released their regular album '2' last month and started their promotions with 'Super Lady'.

    However, on February 8th, Cube Entertainment announced Shuhua's temporary hiatus due to health concerns, stating, "She recently visited the hospital for persistent dizziness and was advised by medical staff to take ample rest and stabilize." This announcement has led to an outpouring of support from fans wishing for her speedy recovery.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
