Actor Park Seo Joon shared heartfelt stories about his early career and his connection with Hallyu star Kim Soo Hyun on the show Fairy Table.

On the afternoon of the 13th, a new video featuring Park Seo Joon was uploaded on Jung Jae Hyung's YouTube channel, Fairy Jae Hyung. In the video, MC Jung Jae Hyung asked him about his decision to pursue acting and why he enlisted in the military so quickly after graduating from the acting department at Seoul Arts University.

Park Seo Joon replied honestly, saying, "I had nothing… no connections. To be honest, I'm like a 'black spoon' in this industry." He opened up about the struggles of starting his career without any help.

Jung Jae Hyung understood his feelings and responded, "After graduating from college, how should you live? That time must have felt so bleak, especially for someone who needs to act with no one to rely on."

Park Seo Joon nodded and said, "Right. It was really overwhelming. I was in a situation where I had to start from scratch. I thought, 'Should I even try this?' It felt so hopeless, so I decided to 'sort out my military service first,' even before looking for an agency."

He then shared how he got connected to Kim Soo Hyun after his discharge. "Through a friend of a friend—who was close to Kim Soo Hyun—I asked if I could get introduced to that company. Kim Soo Hyun kindly facilitated the introduction," he explained.

Park Seo Joon recalled the day he visited the agency: "The CEO spoke to me about the contract. With a very confident voice, he handed me the contract, saying, 'This is a standard contract, but if you’re worried, feel free to consult a lawyer.' It was my first time visiting a company, so I said, 'I’ll look it over and get back to you.' At the time, the company was very big, and eventually, I joined that agency."

Park Seo Joon's story is a reminder that every star has to start somewhere. It’s inspiring to see how he navigated his early struggles with the help of Kim Soo Hyun. His journey reflects the importance of support and connections in the tough world of acting. Fans can look forward to seeing how far he has come and the bright future that lies ahead!

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
