• TWICE's Nayeon reveals childhood dream of becoming a fashion journalist, "I never thought of becoming a singer"

    TWICE's Nayeon recently opened up about her childhood dreams of becoming a writer or a fashion journalist.

    She shared this special story during her appearance on the web variety show 'Let's Eat,' produced by the Kkondaehee channel, on June 22nd.

    Nayeon, who has just released her solo album 'NA,' joined the show to promote her new music. She said, "I came out today to promote my album."

    Now in her 10th year with TWICE, Nayeon talked about her early ambitions. "My childhood dream wasn't to be a singer," she revealed. "I wanted to be a writer or a fashion journalist. I never actually thought about becoming a singer."

    She explained how her dream evolved over time, saying, "Doesn't everyone dance alone in front of a mirror when they're young? I was one of those cases where the dream grew from that. So, I mustered the courage to go for an audition," adding, "I found it difficult to be in the spotlight, so I didn't even participate in talent shows during my school days."

    During the show, Nayeon also expressed her interest in YouTube. She asked Kim Daehee, the host, "I'm interested in YouTube. It's fun. Why did you start?" Kim Daehee, surprised, replied, "Is this Nayeon's 'Let's Eat'? Am I the guest today?"

    Kim Daehee mentioned his channel's subscriber count, saying, "I probably have more subscribers than you. We have around 1.59 million." However, TWICE's official YouTube channel boasts 17.3 million subscribers, making Kim Daehee laugh and adjust his approach.

    Despite her childhood dreams of writing and fashion, Nayeon has become a top singer with TWICE, showing that dreams can take unexpected but wonderful turns.

  • Chun Jung Myung’s Manager Now Serving Time After Stealing Billions, Source Reveals

    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."
