Actress and director Goo Hye Sun addressed her recent statement about having "no friends," which she talked about on "Golden Counseling Center."

On May 30th, Goo Hye Sun replied "no" when asked if she had friends to share sadness with during an episode of Channel A's "Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center."

She explained, "I prefer one-on-one interactions over hanging out in groups. Even when I talk to a friend about tough times, I end up feeling uneasy afterward. While others seek support from friends during hard times, I tend to handle things on my own. So, while I don't have strict criteria for dating, I do have high standards for friendship."

However, Goo Hye Sun took to her Instagram on the 7th to clarify her statement. She said, "I mentioned on the show that I don't have 'just friends' and I'm selective about who I confide in (since I have a small circle of close friends). But it got twisted into 'I have no friends' and spread like that. So, with my friends' permission, I'm sharing this to prove otherwise."

She even posted screenshots of her mobile messenger chats, known as 'group chats,' with her real friends. In these chats, her friends teased her for taking two weeks to reply.

One of them joked, "Replying after two weeks? You're a legend. Did you send that message from outer space?" while another said, "What's even more frustrating is that you read the message a week ago."

In response, Goo Hye Sun proudly stated, "I have younger siblings who tease me, and while I prefer one-on-one interactions, ironically, I also participate in 'group chats.' Although I'm not the most active in replying, I still join in (INTJ)."

Fans showed their support, saying, "We get it. Don't mind the haters," "Don't let negative comments get to you. Those who know you will understand without any explanation," "You don't need to prove anything. Misunderstandings happen, just live your life," and more.

Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun, who married actor Ahn Jae Hyun in 2016 and divorced in 2020, made headlines for graduating with top honors from Sungkyunkwan University's Department of Film and Video earlier this year.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
