Seo Kang Joon has opened up about why he no longer holds fan meetings!

On February 17, the YouTube channel Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup featured Seo Kang Joon, Yoon Ga Yi, and Jo Bok Rae as guests. The actors are starring in MBC’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Undercover High School.

During the show, Jo Bok Rae revealed, "Seo Kang Joon made a promise. If the drama surpasses 12% in ratings, the entire cast will go on an overseas trip together."

Since Undercover High School marks Seo Kang Joon’s first project after his military discharge, he confidently stated, "I don’t think spending money on an overseas trip would feel like a waste."

Host Shin Dong Yup then shared an interesting story: "One of my hairstyling staff, who worked with Seo Kang Joon, said he’s a rare case. Even though he became popular at a young age, he didn’t follow the mainstream commercial route but stuck to his own philosophy."

Seo Kang Joon responded, "People often tell me to choose projects that will make me more loved. While I get where they’re coming from, my heart just doesn’t naturally lean toward those kinds of roles."

He explained, "At the very least, when I’m asked at a press conference why I chose a project, I want to be able to say, ‘I wanted to tell this story.’ That’s the kind of work I want to do."

When the topic of fan meetings came up, Seo Kang Joon shared his honest thoughts, saying, "I used to do a lot of fan meetings, and meeting fans is really precious to me. But I’m not good at singing or dancing, so I started wondering, ‘Is this really worth people paying to see?’"

He continued, "I thought, ‘Can I really sell tickets while performing like this?’ That’s why I decided to stop doing fan meetings."

Meanwhile, Undercover High School, which follows an NIS agent disguising himself as a high school student, is set to premiere soon!

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
