It’s a positive change indeed! Recently, the fan club name of actor Byeon Woo Seok sparked a debate.

In a post that showcased his signature, he suggested that the fan club name should be Toilets, a pun on his last name, Byeon, which is the first syllable of the word “toilet” in Korean.

While many defended the actor and were supportive of the name, his agency and fan club conducted a vote to consider changing the name.

Despite more than half of the votes favoring to keep the name, they proceeded to hold a fan club name competition.

The management team, 람찌, stated before posting, "We would like to inform you that this has been thoroughly discussed with the actor and the agency. There have been many opinions regarding the fan club name, and through the voting process in January, the results were to keep the name 64% (198 votes) and to change the name 35% (107 votes)."

Despite there being more votes to keep the name, due to the constant requests about the fan club name and to change it, we have decided to open a fan club name contest so that fans can choose the name.

This is a space that is run for the fans, and although the actor chose a name for the fans, he and the agency agree that they want to respect the various opinions of the fans.

We will take name requests from March 7, 2024 to March 16, 2024. As this will become the new name he will call the fans, we hope you will be careful when choosing a name. Thank you."

After the voting period concluded, they arrived at a new fan club name! The management team, 람찌, expressed gratitude to everyone who voted for the new fan club name. According to the results, Mailbox (우체통 in Korean) won with 53% of the votes.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and the new name will be used right away. We will continue to work hard to create a better fan club. Thank you.

The new fan club name 우체통 (mailbox) is a pun on the first letter of his first name, Woo. The full meaning is “TongTong’s who think of Wooseok as the best”. Netizens felt that they did a commendable job changing the name, and praised the agency for taking this matter seriously.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
