Former miss A member Suzy candidly shared her contentment with her current career as an actress after transitioning from being an idol.

On June 4, Suzy sat down with Wikitree for an interview ahead of the release of the movie 'Wonderland.'

'Wonderland,' directed by Kim Tae Yong, known for hits like 'Late Spring' and 'Familyhood,' tells a touching story about reconnecting with loved ones through the video call service 'Wonderland,' which brings back the deceased using artificial intelligence.

In the film, Suzy portrays the character 'Jung In,' who reunites with her boyfriend Tae Joo (played by Park Bo Gum) using the 'Wonderland' service.

Suzy, who debuted as part of JYP Entertainment's girl group miss A in 2010, ventured into acting with the KBS2 drama 'Dream High Season 1' the following year. After miss A disbanded in 2017, she also pursued a solo singing career but eventually shifted her focus primarily to acting.

Reflecting on her 15-year journey since debut, Suzy shared, "It's funny. When I was younger, I didn't find my past self cute. But now, looking back, I think the younger Suzy was adorable."

She chuckled and added, "Sometimes I watch old videos and wonder why I did certain things. Maybe it's because my memories are fading that I find my younger self even cuter."

Suzy expressed that she finds more satisfaction in her current life as an actress compared to her idol days.

She explained, "When I was younger, I had little free time and everything felt like a competition. I didn't have the chance to reflect on my life or see it from a different perspective. So, instead of finding it tough at the time, I remember struggling because I was young and inexperienced."

She continued, "Nowadays, I have more time to reflect on my life, which makes me much happier. But I think I appreciate these feelings because of the challenges I faced back then."

Meanwhile, 'Wonderland' is set to hit theaters in Korea on June 5.

Actor Chun Jung Myung has opened up about a devastating betrayal by his former manager, who swindled tens of billions of won from his family. The former manager, who had been trusted like family, is now serving prison time for his actions.

In the December 8 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung shared the shocking details of his financial fraud ordeal with fellow cast members Lee Sang Min and Kim Heechul.

He explained, "I was financially defrauded by the manager I had worked with for 16 years since my debut. He forged documents to steal money and even caused huge financial losses for my parents."

A close source confirmed on December 9, "The manager mentioned on the show ultimately couldn’t repay the damages and is now serving his prison sentence for fraud."

The source also revealed that Chun Jung Myung suffered losses in the tens of billions of won. The emotional toll was severe, leading to social anxiety, and he even considered retiring from the entertainment industry due to the devastating betrayal.

Chun Jung Myung debuted in 1999 with the drama School 2 and became a household name with roles in Beijing, My Love, Fashion 70s, and What's Up Fox? However, after his role in the 2019 drama Urban Cops: KCSI, he suddenly disappeared from the spotlight, sparking concerns from fans.

An entertainment agency CEO weighed in, saying, "Celebrities, especially those with limited real-world experience, are vulnerable to scams because of their public status. Some get trapped and lose vast amounts of money after being used as figureheads."

An entertainment law expert added, "Fraud cases are tricky because proving the intent to steal is difficult. If someone makes an enticing offer, always ask, ‘Why me and not them?’ Skepticism is key."
