• Lee Joon opens up about his frugal habits: "I'm still wearing the underwear I bought in middle school"

    Lee Joon recently opened up about his simple and straightforward lifestyle.

    On the hit SBS show 'My Little Old Boy', which aired on April 14th, Lee Joon made an appearance that sparked interest among viewers.

    During the show, Seo Jang Hoon shared, "Lee Joon has been using the same underwear he bought in middle school for ten years. He also prefers biking over public transport, considering the monthly card cost of 700,000 won too much."

    Lee Joon confirmed this, adding, "I found the subway fare unnecessary during my trainee days. I used to bike every day from Songpa, where I lived, to Apgujeong."

    Lee Joon further revealed his simple approach to life, stating, "I don't feel the need to replace things unless they're worn out. This includes my underwear. I only replace them when they're worn out."

    He also mentioned his simple household habits, "Even though I live in a big house, my water bill is less than 3,000 won. I often shower at the gym, and my heating costs are low as I prefer to wear fur clothes."

    He also shared his simple eating habits, "I usually eat at the library cafeteria near my house. I'm a fan of ramen and make sure to have it at least once a day. My daily food expenses amount to around 8,000 won. When I'm out for work, I enjoy pork belly and beef."

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
