Celebrities like Lee Hyori and Han Hye Jin are dealing with a troubling trend of tourists mistaking their private homes for tourist spots, causing significant disruptions.

Lee Hyori, who previously shared her home in Jeju Island, and Han Hye Jin, who recently revealed her Hongcheon villa on YouTube, have both suffered from unwanted visits by tourists.

On June 27th, Han Hye Jin spoke out on her YouTube channel about the invasion of her privacy at her Hongcheon villa. She recounted, "I was drying my hair when I heard a car door. It was so scary. No one was supposed to be here." She added, "I froze for about 10 seconds. When I finally went out, there were four middle-aged people wandering from the yard to the valley," which shocked her.

Despite asking them to leave multiple times, she said, "I repeated myself four times. When they finally left, they said, 'We won't watch TV anymore.' It nearly brought me to tears. I felt so down," she shared.

In response, Han Hye Jin decided to install fences, gates, and CCTV from a security company to enhance her privacy and security. She explained, "I used to feel like I had all of nature around me, so I hesitated to put up fences. But now, it feels necessary to protect my privacy, even though it makes me feel trapped sometimes, unlike in Seoul."

Han Hye Jin's experience echoes that of Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon, who faced a similar invasion of privacy after revealing their home on the JTBC show 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast.' Following the broadcast, visitors would ring their bell, take photos, and show a lack of respect for their privacy, despite public requests to refrain from visiting.

Due to these privacy and security issues, JTBC eventually reached an agreement with Lee Hyori and Lee Sang Soon to purchase the property, stating, "The continuous exposure of their residence made it difficult for them to use it as their actual home."

The incidents highlight the challenges celebrities face in maintaining their privacy amid growing public interest and tourism.

Former AOA member Kwon Mina has shared a deeply emotional and heartbreaking update with her fans.

On January 20, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to reveal some difficult news. "I have some upsetting and heartbreaking news to share", she wrote, explaining that her dog, Mochi, had been diagnosed with malignant cancer.

She shared that a lump had been growing on her dog’s leg for years, and despite undergoing several surgeries, it kept coming back. Sadly, the latest diagnosis confirmed it was cancerous.

Kwon Mina’s post continued, "The pain is expected to get worse, and the doctor told me to prepare myself to say goodbye to Mochi, as she will suffer a lot."

She added, "Today, I can’t stop crying, and my heart feels like it’s breaking. I’m looking into options like anesthesia, euthanasia, and funeral arrangements so that she can pass without pain."

She reached out to her followers for advice, asking, "If anyone knows a better solution, please let me know."

Kwon Mina debuted in 2012 as a member of the popular girl group AOA. The group achieved great success with hits like "Heart Attack," "Bingle Bangle," "Like a Cat," and "Miniskirt".

However, in 2020, Kwon Mina opened up about being bullied by her AOA members, leading to the group’s eventual disbandment.

In a more positive update, Kwon Mina also announced on January 15 that she has started a new chapter in her career.

She will be working as a consultant at a dermatology clinic near Sicheong Station, which is set to open in March, signaling her fresh start after a difficult year.

Fans have rallied around Kwon Mina with messages of support as she navigates this emotional time.
