• “She took on a very challenging role…”— Park Min Young Shuts Down Critics, Defends BoA's Acting in “Marry My Husband”

    In a recent interview with Newsen, Park Min Young, the lead actress of the drama 'Marry My Husband,' defended BoA's acting in the series.

    'Marry My Husband' is an adaptation of a popular webtoon that concluded on February 20, and it gained attention for its unique storyline.

    Park Min Young, who portrayed the character Kang Ji Won, discussed various aspects of the drama, including her own outfit choices and the criticism received by BoA, who joined the cast later in the series.

    Addressing the criticism BoA received for her role as Oh Yu Ra, Park Min Young expressed understanding of the challenges of joining a drama midway.

    She noted that it's difficult for any actor, even veterans, and emphasized the challenging nature of BoA's role.

    Park Min Young hoped that viewers could see beyond the acting and appreciate the effort both she and BoA put into their performances.

    Furthermore, Park Min Young highlighted the positive aspects of having captivating villains in the drama, and she suggested that BoA's addition could be a buildup for another surprise in the storyline.

    Overall, Park Min Young encouraged viewers to see BoA's contribution to the drama in a positive light.

    Read her statement below:

    "I don't want to defend or take sides, but personally, I think it's difficult for anyone to join a drama midway. It's hard even for veteran actors, and joining a popular drama midway is even harder. She took on a really difficult and challenging role, and I hope people can see beyond the acting and appreciate it as something beautiful. BoA and I are the same age, so just looking at her, I think, 'We've both endured a lot.' I did my best during filming, and I hope people can recognize that she did her best too. Fortunately, we have a lot of captivating villains in the drama, and with BoA's addition, it may feel frustrating, but I think it can also be a buildup for another surprise. I hope people will see it positively."

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
