'Single's Inferno 5' Song Seungil addressed the reunion episode where he received heavy criticism.

On the 20th, a video featuring Jo Yoosik and Hong Jiyeon from 'EXchange 4' and Kim Goeun and Song Seungil from 'Single's Inferno 5' was posted on Daesung's Youtube channel.

During the episode, Daesung commented, "It seems like everyone from 'Single's Inferno 5' gets along well." Song Seungil replied, "Right," but couldn't hide his uneasy expression. When Daesung brought up the 'Single's Inferno' reunion episode, Song Seungil hesitated, saying, "Ah...About that..." as his eyes began to well up with tears, drawing laughter.

In the reunion episode, Song Seungil faced backlash after her final couple, Kim Mingee, said, "It's ambiguous. I don't think we're even colleagues. I feel like I've been cut off by him." Afterwards, Song Seungil explained, "I had honestly shared my confusing situation with her. From her perspective, it may have felt like she was being cut off instead of getting a closure. I was cautious and felt sorry about that. After the broadcast, I apologized for my immature behavior."

Nana, a former member of After School and now an actress, has once again expressed her intention not to appear as a witness in the trial of A, who broke into her home and committed robbery.

According to industry sources on the 21st, Nana's mother, identified as Shin, recently submitted a statement of non-attendance as a witness regarding the robbery and injury charges against A to the Namyangju Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court. It is reported that Nana has also submitted her own written opinion to the court.

This follows the postponement of the second hearing, which had originally been scheduled for the 10th. Nana had previously submitted a statement of non-attendance for the same trial on the 20th of last month.

Meanwhile, last November, A broke into Nana's residence in Acheon-dong, Guri, Gyeonggi Province, and threatened Nana and her mother with a weapon. At the time, Nana and her mother managed to subdue A after a physical struggle and reported him to the police. In the process, they reportedly sustained injuries requiring 33 days dan 31 days of medical treatment, respectively.

After being detained, A filed a lawsuit against Nana on charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault. However, the police viewed Nana's actions as self-defense and decided not to forward the case for prosecution. In response, Nana's side stated, "These are intentional, malicious secondary attacks, and false claims," adding, "We will take all possible civil and criminal legal measures against the perpetrator's vicious and inhumane behavior to hold him legally responsible. There will be no compromise."

Cho Hangyeol opened up about the 'turning point'. in is acting career and how it began.

Cho Hangyeol, who is currently rising as a next-generation star through the tvN drama 'Undercover Miss Hong' which ended on the 8th, recently shared in an interview with Ilgan Sports, "I was able to finish this long 16-episode journey thanks to the viewers who stayed with us until the end."

In the drama, Cho Hangyeol played as Albert Oh, the head of risk management at Hanmin Securities who is also the grandson of Chairman Kang Pilbeom. He said, "I feel like my spectrum of expression as an actor has broadened through this work. Rather than improvisation, I focused more on bringing out the tone and the flow of the actual script."He also credited his co-star Kim Hyungmook, who played as his father in the drama, saying, "He gave me so many ideas on set. Thanks to him, we were able to create the unique father-son chemistry in 'Undercover Miss Hong.'"

Albert Oh is a character who holds the key to major twists toward the end of the drama. At first, he appears to be an immature slacker who is obsessed with movies. However, it is later revealed that he is a powerful figure in the stock market community 'Yeouido Pirates.' Cho Hangyeol shared, "I'm actually a cinephile myself," naming 'The Butterfly Effect' and 'The Notebook' as his favorite movies. He also mentioned 'The King's Warden,' saying, "I cried my eyes out watching it. If I get the chance, I definitely want to try acting in the historical genre."

Cho Hangyeol's original dream was on the pitcher's mound. Born in 2002, he once dreamed to be a baseball player but had to give up the sport due to an unexpected injury. At the time, he recalled his brief experience with acting in elementary school, which led him back to an acting academy. He then made his debut in 2020 through the web drama 'Let Me Off the Earth.'

'Undercover Miss Hong' is especially meaningful to him as it is his first lead role. He shared, "It would feel like a dream to win a Rookie Award with 'Undercover Miss Hong," adding, "My next project hasn't been decided yet, but I'll say goodbye to Albert Oh and return as an even more charming 'younger man' character."

Super Junior's Kim Heechul revealed the reason why he has lived without a car for more than a decade.

On the 19th, a video titled 'Hong Jinkyung in stitches because of 20-year idols Shindong and Heechul's legendary revelations' was posted on the Youtube channel 'Study King Genius Hong Jinkyung.'

In the video, Kim Heechul said he had never met Hong Jinkyung in private before, explaining, "I came on the show because I had a good impression of you thanks to Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun is still like a baby to us, so I'm always grateful that you take good care of him."

He continued, "To be even more honest, you suddenly contacted me and asked, 'Are you close with Faker? I'd love for him to appear on Study King.' I wouldn't even say I'm close with Faker. He's a precious connection to me. I still speak to him formally."

Kim Heechul also talked about 'staying true to one's roots,' saying, "People say celebrities should find their 'roots,' but I definitely shouldn't. I had such a bad attitude when I was a trainee," adding humorously, "I used to go to nightclubs and tell the trainer Noona everything about it. Wehn I had to write a reflection, I would write, 'I don't know what I did wrong. I'm writing this because I was told to,'" which made everyone laugh.

Because of that, he said he tries hard not to make mistakes now, saying, "I have never even burped in front of my members," adding, "If I feel uncomfortable with someone, I just wouldn't see them at all."

When asked by Hong Jinkyung about how much he drinks, Heechul replied, "I usually drink a lot. The reason I don't have a car is because I'm afraid I might cause an accident after drinking. Since I couldn't quit alcohol, I just quit driving instead. I haven't owned a car at all for over 10 years."

Regarding Shindong, who is known to have a high alcohol tolerance, Heechul said, "I've never seen him drunk," which surprised everyone. Shindong added, "I think I can drink up to six bottles. I think I've only blacked out once, but that was back when I was on diet, so I got drunk faster than usual."

Meanwhile, Super Junior will hold their world tour encore concert 'SUPER SHOW 10: SJ-CORE in Seoul' from April 3rd to 5th at KSPO Dome in Seoul Olympic Park, marking the finale of their 20th debut anniversary tour.

Han Gain shared her honest thoughts while reflecting on the timing of her debut.

On the 19th, a video titled 'National Treasure Beauty Han Gain meets 'Aespa's pretty fan' Wanghong in person' was posted to her Youtube channel 'Han Gain is Free.'

In the video, Chinese influencer Bai Xue, who has 910,000 followers on social media, appeared. The production team introduced her as 'someone who went viral as 'Aespa Ningning's pretty fan,'" adding, "She recently drew attention for her video call with Giselle."

Bai Xue shared her tips on creating content, saying, "It's important to upload daily photos frequently and record videos consistently." Han Gain responded, "Actually, I don't really use social media. I'm also not good at taking Instagram photos or Shorts."

At a location they visited together, locals and tourists were seen recognizing Han Gain. Afterward, Han Gain said, "Even after working for over 20 years, I realized there's sill so much to learn. I also felt like I've lived too easily."

She added, "After learning from the photographer and Bai Xue, becoming a Wanghong seems like impossible for me. I think it's something that you have to be born with."

In particular, Han Gain drew attention as she shared her thoughts, "In conclusion, I think I was lucky with the era I was born into. If I were born now, I don't think I could've become a celebrity," adding, "The way people take their own photos, posting them, and creating content feels far from who I am."

To this, netizens responded with comments like, "What are you talking about? Han Gain was even prettier at that age," "She's a natural beauty even without filters," "She's still beautiful now, but her looks during her prime years were absolutely legendary," and "I remember how shockingly beautiful she was during 'Golden Bell' days."
