Looks like the handsome actors we love are having some real talk about their appearances! On the 7th, Jang Dong Gun appeared on the YouTube channel Jjanhan Hyung, Shin Dong Yeob and surprised everyone with his honest thoughts. He said, “Back in the early 2000s, when Korean cinema was booming, I thought, 'If I looked a little more ordinary, I could have taken on more roles.'”

Seol Kyung Gu joked, “Are you saying you envied my looks?” To which Jang Dong Gun laughed and said, “I really did envy you!” It’s not every day you hear such comments from a star like him!

On the 11th, Jang Dong Gun spoke about this again on SBS Radio's Park Ha Sun's Cine Town. He explained, “I was just joking, but I really felt that way back then. The 2000s were such a golden time for Korean cinema. I thought if I looked a bit more ordinary, I might have had more chances to act in different roles.” It’s interesting to see how these thoughts about looks can shape an actor's career.

Lee Jin Wook also jumped into this discussion. On the 1st, he joined Shin Hye Sun on VIVOTV and was asked, “I heard you don’t think you’re handsome.” He answered honestly, “That’s something I hear often, and I really feel that way.”

He explained, “It depends on the standard. When I see my friends, I think I’m the best-looking one. But honestly, I believe all actors look similar to me,” then added with a smile, “I know I’m handsome. I really do.” It’s nice to see him acknowledge it while keeping things light!

Earlier, in November, Lee Jin Wook shared on Theo’s Salon Drip 2 segment that when he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t see himself as ‘cool.’

Another actor, Yoo Seung Ho, also opened up about his feelings on his looks. In August, while on VIVOTV, he called his face “sleazy,” saying, “When I look in the mirror, I feel like I look sleazy. I wish I looked honest and bright, like senior Jung Woo Sung.”

In a recent interview for the play Angels in America, Yoo Seung Ho candidly said, “After 32 years, I’d get tired of my own face. Don’t you get tired of it? I really do. The sleaziness is what I dislike most about my face.”

It’s refreshing to hear these actors share their thoughts about beauty and self-image. It shows that even the most handsome stars have their insecurities. Their honesty reminds us that everyone has their own struggles, and we should celebrate the beauty in our differences.

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
