SEVENTEEN's Seungkwan and DK shared a funny and relatable story about a past argument during their appearance on Salon Drip 2.

On January 21, the two members of SEVENTEEN's special unit, BSS, were guests on the web variety show and opened up about a time when they went two months without talking due to a minor fight.

The two revealed that they both have a "Power F" personality, meaning they're emotionally driven, and when they argue, it's intense!

Seungkwan shared, "It was really nothing. It was just our pride getting in the way." He explained how when they were on good terms during their trainee days, they would make sweet eye contact while practicing duet songs.

But when they fought, they’d avoid each other and only look at each other's philtrum (the area above the upper lip) instead.

The tension didn’t end there. Seungkwan recalled a recent dance practice where things weren’t going well, and he shouted, "Let’s focus!"

He then noticed that DK was the last one to respond, and Seungkwan couldn’t help but feel the tension. "I tried to ignore the glare he gave me. At that moment, I felt like it was over."

But of course, they made up. Seungkwan revealed that he sent DK an apology text while in the car. DK’s response was cool, "Didn’t I reply coolly?"

Seungkwan laughed and said, "You said it was okay, but I sent, 'I hope this doesn’t happen again next time,' which made everyone laugh."

Seungkwan ended the story with, "Now, we just let things slide easily. I love him so much," showing how much he cares for DK, despite their past disagreements.

Director Kim Hyung Joo of The Match has finally shared his thoughts on Yoo Ah In’s involvement in a drug scandal, calling it a major disappointment, especially considering the actor’s role as the lead in the film.

On March 19th, the director attended a press screening and briefing for The Match at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. Alongside Kim, actors Lee Byung Hun, Ko Chang Seok, Hyun Bong Sik, Moon Jung Hee, and Jo Woo Jin were present to discuss the film.

The Match revolves around the legendary Go player Cho Hun Hyun (played by Lee Byung Hun), who, after a loss to his disciple, decides to challenge the top players again, driven by his competitive spirit. The movie is directed by Kim Hyung Joo.

Lee Byung Hun plays the iconic Go champion Cho Hun Hyun, while Yoo Ah In portrays his disciple, Lee Chang Ho.

During the event, Kim recalled the casting process, saying, "When we were casting, Lee Byung Hun was cast first. Just having him felt like we had the world, and then, getting Yoo Ah In as a bonus made me even happier."

Although filming wrapped up in 2021, Yoo Ah In's drug scandal led to the indefinite postponement of the film’s release. Now, nearly four years later, The Match is finally set to hit theaters on March 26th.

Reflecting on Yoo Ah In's scandal, Director Kim openly shared his frustration, calling it "irresponsible and disappointing" for the actor to make such a mistake as the lead.

He added, “Before being an actor, he made a mistake as a member of society and was punished, so I don’t think there’s much more to say.” Kim smiled bitterly as he spoke.

Describing the challenges he faced due to the scandal, Kim compared the experience to being trapped in "a hellish tunnel."

He said, "There was nothing I could do inside, so it was overwhelming. But now that we have the light of release, it feels like I can breathe. I’m deeply moved."

The director also shared that because Yoo Ah In was the lead actor, the film had to be released as it was, without editing. This has led some people to feel uneasy about watching the film, given the actor’s scandal.

When asked about this, Director Kim said, "Choosing and judging is up to the audience, so I can't force anything. But I hope they watch the movie as it is. I unintentionally got hurt before the release, so I hope people watch the movie warmly, as if applying ointment to a wound."

The Match will officially be released on March 26th.
