"If I wear a priest’s robe, women seem to love it. Haha." (Kang Dong Won)

Kang Dong Won is back in a priest’s robe, and fans are losing their minds! If you were among those captivated by his iconic look in The Priests a decade ago, get ready for a nostalgic yet thrilling surprise. Kang Dong Won makes a special appearance in the new movie The Black Nuns, and yes, he’s wearing the robe again—and looking flawless as ever.

Back in the day, even Kang Dong Won was caught off guard by the unexpected reaction to his priestly look. “I didn’t realize women had a fantasy about priests’ robes,” he once admitted, amused by the attention. Since then, other actors have tried to pull off the same look, but let’s be real—Kang Dong Won will always be the OG when it comes to rocking the priest aesthetic.

His cameo in Dark Nuns is already creating a buzz. During the press screening, director Kwon Hyuk Jae shared his excitement, saying, “Fans of The Priests are going to love this. Seeing Kang Dong Won in that robe again, it felt like no time had passed. His dedication and preparation were truly inspiring.”

Co-star Jeon Yeo Bin couldn’t hide her admiration either. “When I saw him in the priest’s robe, it felt like flowers were blooming around him,” she gushed. “Was there a spotlight following him? I couldn’t believe how perfect he looked. Watching him on set was magical, and it made filming so much more enjoyable.”

Kang Dong Won’s appearance wasn’t just a coincidence. The production team at Zip Cinema, the company behind Dark Nuns, specifically envisioned him in the role. As a spin-off of The Priests, they wanted to bring back Choi Joon Ho (Kang Dong Won’s character) to tie the two stories together.

Executive producer Oh Hyo Jin explained, “While working on the script, we imagined an ending where Choi Joon Ho and Michaela (played by Jeon Yeo Bin) walk back into the city together. When we shared this idea with Kang Dong Won, he kindly agreed to take part. We’re so grateful for his support.”

Dark Nuns tells a gripping story about individuals performing a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. The intense performances and chilling plot promise to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

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.
