Actress Hwang Jung Eum is under fire after being accused of embezzling a huge amount of money—and now, her past words and lifestyle are drawing new attention.

Recently, Hwang Jung Eum appeared in court on May 15 for her first trial after being charged with embezzling 4.3 billion KRW (about 3.1 million USD) from a company. Reports say she invested 4.2 billion KRW of that into cryptocurrency.

Now, a past episode of SBS Plus’s reality show I'm Solo Season 2, which aired back in March, is going viral again. On the show, she showed off her luxurious daily life with her two sons inside a two-story house worth 4.6 billion KRW (about 3.3 million USD).

The house, nicknamed the “Jung Eum House,” came with a big yard, elegant interiors, a tent, and even a trampoline. Host Shin Dong Yup commented, “This place couldn’t be better for raising two kids.”

But what shocked viewers even more than the house was her supercar. After dropping off her kids, Hwang Jung Eum drove the car herself and shared, “I bought it as a gift to myself when I first decided to get divorced. It’s really expensive.” She laughed and added, “I need to work hard to pay off the car loan.”

At the time, her words sounded lighthearted—but now, they’re being viewed in a very different light.

One moment from the show that’s especially getting attention is when Hwang Jung Eum boldly said, “I’m the type who spends future money before I earn it.” With the recent embezzlement accusations, this quote is being rewatched and widely shared online.

Netizens reacted strongly, writing comments like:

• “So that was company money? No way.”
• “Spending future money is fine—if it’s your own, not someone else’s.”
• “That scene gives me chills now.”

Others tried to stay neutral, saying:

• “Let’s wait to hear her side.”
• “There might be more to the story.”

Meanwhile, her agency said they are still checking the facts regarding the charges. The I'm Solo production team is also discussing whether to edit out her scenes in future episodes.

Later that day, Hwang Jung Eum released a public statement, saying, “I’m sorry for causing concern with this shameful matter,” and bowed in apology.

BTS member Jin is finally back, and fans can’t stop talking about his new music video.

On May 16, Jin dropped his second mini album Echo, and the title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” is already making waves — especially because of the emotional scenes with actress Shin Se Kyung.

The MV is shot like a drama, showing powerful yet soft acting between Jin and Shin Se Kyung. Their natural eye contact, emotional scenes, and quiet chemistry have left fans saying, “Are they a real couple?” and “Please cast them in a real drama next time!”

But while their chemistry looked perfect on screen, Jin revealed that he was actually super nervous behind the scenes.

In a recent interview, Jin shared, “It was my first time acting with a professional actress, so I was really awkward and clumsy. I was so nervous that things didn’t go as I imagined.”

Still, he praised Shin Se Kyung for helping him through the scenes. “I was very thankful to Shin Se Kyung for her passionate acting. If you look closely, you might catch me looking awkward,” he said, laughing.

Jin also shared a funny moment during filming: “There was one scene in a parking lot, and the wind was blowing like crazy. My hair kept flying everywhere, and I couldn’t act properly. We ended up changing my hairstyle to finish filming.”

His new album Echo tells honest stories about love, friendship, choices, and emotions we feel in everyday life. Fans are touched by how personal and heartfelt Jin’s songs and acting are in this comeback.
