'Squid Game' actress Jeong Ho Yeon confidently stated that she holds 'more power' in her relationship with actor Lee Dong Hwi, which has been going strong for 9 years.

Jeong made an appearance on the 42nd episode of 'Teaching us a lesson is just an excuse', a YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun', which aired on April 13th.

During the show, Jeong shared a story about how she got an autograph from the legendary soccer player David Beckham for her boyfriend Lee Dong Hwi, a die-hard soccer enthusiast.

"Beckham was in Korea for an event and he greeted me. I knew he was a big deal, so I watched a documentary to understand his story better, and I was really impressed," Jeong shared. "But Dong Hwi is such a fan, he asked me, 'Ho Yeon, could you get his autograph for me?'"

She went on to say, "I nervously asked Beckham, 'Could you give an autograph for my boyfriend who is a huge fan?' and he kindly offered to record a video message."

"Dong Hwi was so proud to show it off to his friends. He gave me a gift of clothing the next day and kept apologizing to me for a while. I feel like I have more power now," she added, sparking laughter.

In a different segment, when Jeong asked Yoo Jae Suk, "Are you not dating much these days?" Yoo replied, "It might sound like an excuse, but it's challenging to find time for dates while taking care of children."

In response, Jeong shared her secret to a long-lasting relationship, stating, "The longer the relationship, the more important it is to make time for dates."

When Yoo asked, "Where did you learn that?" Jeong replied, "I picked it up here and there. I've gained a lot of general knowledge from watching various content on YouTube," causing more laughter.

Jo Se Ho chimed in, "Even if it feels forced, it's important to say 'I love you' often," to which Jeong agreed, "That's true, that's a good point."

Listening to their conversation, Yoo commented, "You two should consider getting married," and added, "Expressions of love are important, but it's better to sprinkle them throughout the day rather than scheduling them."

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.
