Saying “I never broke up with Joon-gi oppa. Because we never dated” ahead of June wedding.

Sorry to their shippers!

Actress Moon Chae-won has finally addressed the long-running dating rumors surrounding her and actor Lee Joon-gi. During a recent video uploaded on her personal YouTube channel, the actress reacted to a fan question asking, “Why did you break up with Lee Joon-gi?”

The two stars previously won viewers’ hearts with their chemistry in the hit 2020 tvN drama Flower of Evil, which sparked persistent dating speculation among fans.

Responding to the question, Moon Chae-won burst into laughter and said, “It seems like a fan who was really immersed in the drama sent that.” She then firmly shut down the rumors with the exact quote, “I never broke up with Joon-gi oppa. Because we never dated.”

Her candid response quickly grabbed attention online, with fans praising the actress for addressing the rumors in a humorous and straightforward manner.

Meanwhile, Moon Chae-won is reportedly preparing to marry her non-celebrity fiancé in June. The actress has also recently launched her personal YouTube channel to communicate more closely with fans and share glimpses of her daily life.

Through this latest Marie Claire pictorial, she once again solidified her presence as an ambassador by seamlessly combining Korean sensibilities with Bvlgari’s luxurious glamour.

Meanwhile, Kim Ji Won is preparing for her return to the small screen through SBS’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia.' She will play Doctor X, Gye Soo Jung, a surgeon who takes on a corrupt medical industry. The series is based on the massively successful Japanese drama franchise “Doctor X” originally aired on TV Asahi. Marie Claire Korea’s June issue is available at major online and offline bookstores nationwide.

On the 21st, according to JoongAng Ilbo, the application for the arrest warrant submitted by the Seoul Gangnam Police Station stated that Garosero Institute‘s Kim Se Ui spread false information about actor Kim Soo Hyun for financial gain, including YouTube earnings.

The police noted in the warrant application that the suspect was well aware that Kim Soo Hyun had not dated the late actress Kim Sae Ron since her minor years but distributed falsehoods with the intent to defame him.

The media report said that messenger conversations Kim Se Ui presented last March as evidence of dating were all found to be fabricated by the police. After receiving 11 screenshots of messages allegedly exchanged between the late actress and an unknown person in 2016 from the bereaved family last year, Kim altered seven parts, including changing the interlocutor’s name to Kim Soo Hyun. The police pointed out that the suspect posted manipulated materials to make it appear as though the two had actually conversed, despite knowing the other party’s identity was unconfirmed. Moreover, the police believe the voice files of the late actress released by Kim’s side in May last year were also manipulated using AI technology.

It is understood that the bereaved family’s legal representative has also been registered with investigative authorities along with Kim Se Ui. The police judged that the family’s lawyer supplied incriminating materials to Kim and not only spread false information but also systematically expanded and reproduced it in an organized and premeditated manner. Regarding this, Kim Soo Hyun’s legal representative, lawyer Ko Sang Rok, stated on his social media on the 20th that Kim Soo Hyun’s side did not file a complaint against the family’s lawyer and that the investigative agencies appear to have identified the lawyer as an accomplice and changed them into a suspect, which is an extremely rare case for a suspect’s lawyer to be recognized as an accomplice and then converted to a suspect.

The police stated in the warrant application that this case led to the collapse of actor Kim Soo Hyun’s social foundation and his entire economic activities, undermining his professional livelihood. They added that, as Kim is currently receiving psychiatric treatment, if the suspect continues to spread false information, it could cause serious, irreparable harm.
On the other hand, Kim Se Ui claimed that the prosecution’s request for an arrest warrant was a plot to hinder his reporting activities. During a live broadcast the previous day, Kim said he originally planned to further investigate a sexual crime case involving a prominent politician in Hanoi, Vietnam, and asserted that the sudden request for an arrest warrant was intended to obstruct his reporting work.

Actress Lee Min Jung humorously revealed why she and Lee Byung Hun rarely attend couple gatherings with Rain and Kim Tae Hee.

On May 19, Lee Min Jung uploaded a new video to her YouTube channel Lee Min Jung MJ titled: “Rain Came To Teach Me Dancing But Ended Up Getting Teased By Lee Min Jung”

The episode reunited Lee Min Jung and Rain, who previously worked together in the drama Come Back Mister. Meanwhile, Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Hee famously starred together in IRIS.

During the conversation, the production staff asked the two celebrities whether their families often spend time together as couples.

Lee Min Jung responded honestly: “We don’t really gather as couples often because unnie (Kim Tae Hee) is a bit shy.”

Rain then added: “This is my first time saying this, but my wife and Byung Hun hyung actually have very similar personalities. And Min Jung and I are also very similar.”
Lee Min Jung continued jokingly: “We’re the playful types, while those two are more serious and thoughtful. They take care of people around them more. Honestly, we don’t really do that.”

She humorously added: “People probably think we’re nicer on the outside, but the genuinely kinder people are actually them. I have to admit it. They sacrifice more for others.”

The candid exchange quickly attracted attention online, with many viewers enjoying the natural chemistry and honest humor between the stars.
Fans especially loved hearing rare behind-the-scenes details about the personalities of two of Korea’s most famous celebrity couples, who are typically known for maintaining relatively private family lives.
Meanwhile, Lee Min Jung continues communicating with fans through her growing YouTube content, while Rain remains active in music, entertainment, and business ventures

Prosecutors have requested a 10-year prison sentence for a man in his 30s who was put on trial for allegedly breaking into Nana's home, threatening her with a weapon, and demanding money.

On the 19th, the Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors’ Office requested a 10-year prison sentenceduring the final hearing for Kim (34), who is charged with robbery causing injury. The hearing was held by Criminal Division 1 of the Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Court.

Prosecutors stated, ***"The defendant committed a crime by trespassing into a residence while carrying a weapon and threatening female victims, which requires severe punishment,"***adding, "The victims are suffering from psychological pain because he denies the charges and shows no remorse."

In his final statement, Kim denied the charges, saying, "I sincerely apologize to the victims and will never commit a crime again. I admit to the trespassing and attempted theft, but I did not commit robbery."

Kim was arrested and indicted on charges of breaking into Nana's home in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, at around 6 PM (KST) on November 15 last year while armed with a weapon.

Following mounting criticism surrounding alleged historical distortion in Perfect Crown, lead actors IU and Byeon Woo Seok have both released heartfelt public apologies, acknowledging viewers’ concerns and taking responsibility for their involvement in the controversial drama.

On May 18, IU shared a lengthy apology statement admitting she failed to approach the project with enough responsibility and awareness regarding the historical issues raised by viewers. “I have carefully read every single comment left by many viewers over the past few days,” she said, adding, “I am deeply sorry and my heart remains heavy because I failed to show a responsible attitude as the lead actor and seem to have caused great disappointment.”

The actress further reflected on her shortcomings, stating, “I reflect on and apologize without any excuses for approaching my acting without giving deeper thought to the various historical accuracy issues in the drama that you pointed out.” She continued, “I should have read and studied the script more carefully as an actor, but I am ashamed of myself for failing to do so. I did not properly recognize the issues beforehand. I am sorry.”

IU also thanked viewers for their criticism and promised to be more careful in future projects. Earlier, during a special fan event held at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall for the drama’s finale screening, the actress reportedly became emotional and tearful while addressing disappointed fans, saying, “I must do even a little bit better for you all. It is truly my fault to disappoint you or show an inadequate side.”

Byeon Woo Seok also issued a public apology, revealing he had spent the weekend reflecting on the controversy. “I am posting this with a heavy heart for those who felt discomfort and concern due to the work,” he shared. The actor admitted he lacked sufficient consideration regarding the historical context portrayed in the drama, stating, “Through the comments from viewers, I was able to reflect and introspect, and I have once again deeply realized the need to adopt an attitude of greater responsibility as an actor.”

He concluded his statement by apologizing sincerely to viewers who supported the series and promised to approach future projects “with a more cautious and profound attitude.”

Actress Lee Min Jung is getting ready for a solo trip to Europe, but not everyone at home is excited about it.

On May 12, 2026 (KST), the actress uploaded a new video to her YouTube channel, titled “Solo Trip To Europe Without The Kids… What Should I Wear? Leaving This Week.” In the video, Lee Min Jung revealed that she was finally taking a trip to Europe on her own—though she was facing significant opposition from her family.

I’m finally going to Europe by myself… But there’s a lot of opposition at home right now. Jun Ho’s opposition is strong, and my husband’s opposition is strong, too. Seo Yi doesn’t know yet.
— Lee Min Jung

Ahead of the trip, Lee Min Jung prepared a styling video, explaining that many people likely struggle with what to pack and wear when traveling overseas. For the episode, she tried on various outfits while receiving advice from veteran stylist Seo Soo Kyung.

One outfit in particular immediately came with a story: a red backless dress. Lee Min Jung explained that she had purchased the dress two years ago after giving birth, during a trip to the United States. However, according to her, she barely got to wear it because of her actor husband, Lee Byung Hun.

My husband wouldn’t let me wear it, so I only wore it once, and that was it. I don’t know why he won’t let me wear backless outfits. I like them. They’re cool and breezy.
— Lee Min Jung

Lee Min Jung went on to try several other outfits for the trip, including a trench jumpsuit, a white lace dress, a light purple tweed dress, an orange silk blouse, and a scarf top!

After a long break, Kim Seo-hyung is finally back on the screen 🔥 Joining SBS’s upcoming drama DASH, alongside Shin Hae-sun and Kim Jun-han..this lineup is already looking powerful.

Synopsis : 'DASH' depicts the journey of prosecutor Min Hwa-young as she pursues the truth caught between love and justice while confronting her husband, who stands at the center of a murder case.

It is under consideration for scheduling in SBS's Wednesday-Thursday drama slot in 2027.

Synopsis: 'The Obedient Killer' tells the story of a delicate woman, whose sole life plan was to be a devoted wife and good mother, who takes an unplanned job to survive outside the greenhouse.

At a suspicious company that claims to encourage women's entry into the workforce, a demure woman who has lived silently without a sound or trace as an obedient daughter and a submissive, devoted wife discovers an unexpected talent: the ability to eliminate a person without a sound or a trace. Set in the 1970s and 1980s, the genre is a pure and innocent noir.

Kim Da-mi plays the role of Go Dal-bun. She is a character who, despite being an obedient wife, is divorced and jumps into the suspicious job market to bring her young daughter back.

Lee Chung-ah plays Lee Hwa-ra, codenamed Miss Lee. With a sophisticated short haircut and a perfectly tailored, neutral-colored suit, she speaks in a dry tone and has a cold expression. She is a character who hardens both body and mind to become the best, rejecting soft-hearted love.

Jo Ah-ram transforms into Gye Sook-hee, codenamed Miss Gye, also known as the "fighting cock." A born fighter, she insists on delivering her words precisely and must beat up anyone who gets in her way. She is a troublemaker who fought to defend what was right, only to find no one left when she looked back.
