Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin's new Netflix series The Trunk has been making waves, but not all reactions have been positive.

The drama, which explores complex emotions and secrets, has divided audiences with its portrayal of controversial topics.

The entire season of The Trunk dropped on November 29, and viewers have been quick to share their thoughts. The story revolves around a mysterious object, The Trunk, found on a lakeshore, which brings to light hidden secrets and emotional struggles.

Seo Hyun Jin plays No In Ji, a worker for a secret marriage service called NM, where she’s on her fifth marriage to Gong Yoo’s character, Han Jung Won.

Things get complicated when Han Jung Won’s wife, Lee Seo Yeon (played by Jung Yoon Ha), also uses the NM service for her own remarriage, which leads to explicit bed scenes involving Lee Seo Yeon and another character, Yun Ji Oh (played by Jo Yi Geon).

This, combined with Seo Hyun Jin’s character marrying five times as part of her job, has caused some mixed reactions among viewers.

Some people feel that the drama is glamorizing “prostitution”, with comments like, “It’s definitely prostitution”, and “Why is this business being exposed so openly?”

Others, however, argue that the series has a deeper meaning, saying things like, “It’s pure romance”, and “I really enjoyed the redemption story”. Some viewers admitted that they felt uneasy at first but grew to appreciate the show by the end.

In a recent interview on December 6, Seo Hyun Jin acknowledged the differing opinions, saying, “I knew there would be differing opinions. People who like it would really like it, but those who don’t might find it uncomfortable. The tone is dark, and the story doesn’t offer much relief.”

Gong Yoo also addressed the controversy, sharing, “I don’t even want to talk about the wording. It was shocking. I knew it would be polarizing, and I understand that. But I see the negative reactions as coming from a small part of the audience. There’s a clear intention behind the work, and many viewers understood it that way. It’s just a matter of perspective.”

Despite the controversy, The Trunk continues to captivate audiences with its deep themes and powerful performances.

Fans of both Gong Yoo and Seo Hyun Jin have praised their acting, with many stating that the show gets better as it progresses.

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.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
