• Son Seok Koo: "I Want to Join 'I Am Solo,' But Participants Rush Too Much"

    Actor Son Seok Koo recently shared his interest in appearing on the popular show 'I Am Solo.'

    On August 15, a video featuring Son Seok Koo was posted on the YouTube channel 'Protect Choi Ho-koo,' run by fellow actor Choi Yoon Young. In the video, Son Seok Koo expressed his excitement about trying new experiences, including going on a blind date and appearing on 'I Am Solo.'

    Both Son Seok Koo and Choi Yoon Young are big fans of the ENA and SBS Plus reality show.Choi Yoon Young responded enthusiastically, saying she also wants to be on the show.

    When Son Seok Koo asked what name Choi Yoon Young would give him if he joined the show, Choi Yoon Young joked, “You’d definitely be called ‘Kwang-soo,’ just like the Kwang-soo from the 16th season’s divorced special who asked, ‘Should we lay out the tape?’”

    Son Seok Koo then shared his thoughts on the show’s participants. “The biggest mistake I see is rushing things. They treat 5 days like 5 hours, expecting results in a day or two. That’s not how it works,” he said. “Everything is about timing. If you rush and say, ‘I’m Yung-ja,’ you won’t be able to turn back.”

    He also talked about working with veteran actress Kim Hye Ja in the upcoming JTBC drama 'More Beautiful Than Heaven.' “The director from ‘My Liberation Notes’ called me and asked if I wanted to work with Kim Hye Ja. Even though my schedule didn’t fit, I begged to be a part of it,” he said. “I’m excited because this is a type of acting I’ve never done before.”

    Son Seok Koo expressed his enthusiasm for finally doing a proper romance. He said, “I tried hard to do a romance recently, but it didn’t work out. This time, I’ll get to do it properly.” He praised Kim Hye Ja, saying, “When the director asked Kim Hye Ja who would be a good co-star, she mentioned me. Which actor in Korea gets to do a romance with Kim Hye Ja? This is going to be incredible.”

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.
