Veteran singer Yoon Sang is looking back at one of his biggest regrets — and it involves none other than superstar IU.

In the May 5 episode of the YouTube show Zzanbro Shin Dong Yup, Yoon Sang appeared alongside Lee Hyun Woo and Kim Hyun Chul. That’s when host Shin Dong Yup brought up a hilarious story that caught everyone’s attention.

He laughed and said, “I heard Yoon Sang once told IU not to act! I couldn’t stop laughing when I heard that!”

Yoon Sang quickly confessed with a sheepish smile, “Yes… I’ve apologized to her so many times. Back then, I was scared. I didn’t want to lose a musical treasure like IU to acting.”

He admitted, “Acting and singing are completely different, and I was worried she’d get hurt. I thought I was protecting her… but really, I was just being selfish.”

Now, though? He totally changed his mind.

“Looking back, I can’t believe I said that,” Yoon Sang said. “If IU didn’t act, we would’ve missed out on so many amazing performances. I watched her in When Life Gives You Tangerines and I loved it. She was incredible.”

Then he got real, “Young people teach me a lot. I’ve realized I can be so narrow-minded sometimes”.

Turns out, that experience changed how he raised his own son too — and yes, he’s talking about RIIZE's Anton!

“If I hadn’t learned from IU, I probably would’ve told Anton, ‘No way, you’re not becoming an idol,’” Yoon Sang said. “But he was serious. He told me Korea’s idol system is the best in the world and that he needed to start training right away”.

When asked if he pulled strings for his son’s debut, Yoon Sang shut that down real quick, “I don’t have that kind of power.”

He added, “SM Entertainment doesn’t work like that. If anything, they judged Anton harder. He trained for two years and gave it everything he had.”

From warning IU not to act… to raising a K-pop idol — Yoon Sang’s done a full 180, and he’s not afraid to admit it

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
