STAYC’s Sieun brought some serious laughs with her father, legendary singer Park Nam Jung, on JTBC's Knowing Bros during the Lunar New Year special on January 25!

In this special episode, Sieun introduced herself as a “transfer student” in the fun segment “Bound by Blood.”

She proudly declared, “I’m Park Nam Jung’s daughter, STAYC’s Sieun, with a perfect voice and honey-like charm.” She even joked, “The more I look in the mirror, the more I see my dad. I look just like him!”

While Park Nam Jung was full of praise for his daughter’s natural talent, recalling how Sieun would copy dance moves from TV performances and win every school singing contest since middle school, Sieun got real about growing up with a famous father.

“When I was younger, it was really hard to deal with,” she admitted. “But now, I’m starting to appreciate it more. When I go on variety shows, people always say, ‘I was a fan of your dad,’ and it makes me greet them again.”

But it wasn’t all serious! Sieun didn’t hold back when talking about her dad's fashion choices, saying, “Sometimes I feel embarrassed by his fashion sense,” sending the audience into laughter. She even shared how her dad doesn’t get mad, but just gets “sulky” instead.

Sieun and Park Nam Jung also put on a show-stopping performance, singing a mix of his hits “Days of Rain” and “Longing for You,” alongside STAYC’s “Teddy Bear” and “GPT” dances.

The father-daughter duo ended their performance with an emotional duet of Aladdin’s “A Whole New World,” which brought the house down.

On the group’s side, STAYC has been busy with major milestones, recently wrapping up their first world tour TEENFRESH and releasing their debut full album Metamorphic. The group is currently gearing up for their next big release!

Kim Soo Hyun is facing intense scrutiny following allegations of an underage relationship with the late actress Kim Sae Ron. Now, fans are wondering if he will go ahead with his scheduled fan meeting in Taiwan this month.

According to Taiwan’s ET Today on the 19th (local time), there is a possibility that Kim Soo Hyun might not attend the Seven Eleven Cherry Blossom Festival in Kaohsiung on March 30.

Seven Eleven had planned a big event with Kim Soo Hyun, as he is their brand model. They had already printed his face on food packaging, coffee cups, and cup sleeves. The company also selected 200 lucky fans through a lottery to meet him.

The festival’s lineup includes top stars from South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong. Kim Soo Hyun was supposed to perform on the final day for around 40 minutes. However, with his name being linked to the Kim Sae Ron controversy, doubts have started to rise about his attendance.

His agency only revealed that he has been experiencing "anxiety symptoms," and he has not appeared in public since. Local media speculate that he may not show up at the event at all. If he cancels, the penalty fee is expected to be around 30 million NTD (about 1.3 billion KRW).

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family recently claimed that she had been in a relationship with Kim Soo Hyun for six years, from 2015 to 2021, starting when she was 15 years old. At first, Kim Soo Hyun’s side denied the claims, calling them "false information." But on the 14th, they changed their statement, saying, "Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Sae Ron were in a relationship from the summer of 2019 to the fall of 2020, after Kim Sae Ron became an adult. The claim that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor is not true."

With the controversy still ongoing, fans are waiting to see whether Kim Soo Hyun will break his silence or if his Taiwan appearance will be officially canceled.
