Hyoyeon was flustered upon hearing the plans for SNSD's 20th-anniversary full-group plans.

On the episode of JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' that aired on the 12th, SNSD's Tiffany and Hyoyeon appeared to share some stories.

MC Kim Sungjoo said, "There is something to congratulate SNSD for," adding, "Next year is already their 20th anniversary," congratulating them in advance.

Kim Sungjoo asked whether if they had plans for their 20th anniversary, considering that they promoted as a full group for their 15th anniversary. Hyoyeon replied, "We need to start planning now. Tiffany is in charge of planning, she's very thorough and organized," praising Tiffany's leadership.

Despite the compliment, Tiffany looked at Hyoyeon in disbelief. Unable to hold back, Tiffany said, "We already planned it," calling out Hyoyeon for acting like it was the first time she'd heard of it.

Tiffany added, "I'll just confess it here. Hyoyeon doesn't check the group chat that often," exposing her as the group's 'icon of poor communication.'

Tiffany said,"When we send something, we need a reply within 48 hours for things to move forward. But Hyoyeon doesn't really read them." Hyoyeon admitted, "If there's too much texts, I just don't read it. If there are 200 to 300 messages, I only read the key points, but I often miss things."

Kim Heechul, with '7 metal pins' inserted in his leg after a car accident, explains why he's driving again after 20 years ... "Preparing to pick up my baby"

This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.

On 'My Little Old Boy,' Kim Heechul decided to get back behind the wheel after avoiding driving for about 20 yars following a serious car accident.

On the episode of SBS' 'My Little Old Boy' that aired on the 12th, Tak Jaehoon and Heo Kyunghwan stepped in as one-day driving instructors for Kim Heechul, who has a long-unused driver's license.

Leaving behind his past as someone with unused license, Kim Heechul began taking driving lessons again. The reason he chose to learn to drive again after 20 years was none other than his 'future child.'

Kim Heechul said, "My future baby. I'm going to name them Rua," and explained that he wants to personally pick up his child in the future. To help him overcome his long break from driving, Tak Jaehoon and Heo Kyunghwan took on the role of reliable supporters and stepped in as one-day instructors.

Once Kim Heechul got into the car for his lesson, he looked visibly nervous. He buckled his seatbelt and started the engine, but he couldn't hide his panic upon seeing the modern dial-type gear system. Expecting the old-fashioned gear stick, he joked, "Back in my day, it was like this," drawing laughter as he expressed his shock at how much car technology has changed.

Previously, in 2006, Kim Heechul suffered a major car accident while returning home after attending the funeral of fellow member Donghae's father. At the time, he underwent major surgery to insert seven metal pins due to fractures in his thigh and ankle. As a result of the accident, he was classified with a Grade 4 physical disability.

IU x Byun Wooseok hit 7.8% from the first episode ... Will they follow the path of 'Knight Flower' as the #1 MBC Fri-Sat drama?

The drama 'Perfect Crown,' starring IU and Byun Wooseok, has drawn strong attention after gaining impressive ratings from its very first episode.

The MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which premiered on the 10th, recorded viewer ratings of 8.2% in the Seoul Metropolitan Area and 7.8% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea. It ranked No. 1 among Friday-Saturday dramas and No. 1 among all Friday programs in the metropolitan household category, marking a strong start.

This is No. 3 highest premiere rating in MBC Friday-Saturday drama history, following 'Chief Detective 1958' (10.1%) in the 1st place and 'Knight Flower' (7.9%) in 2nd. In particular, it fell just 0.1% short of 'Knight Flower.'

What makes this result even more remarkable is that its previour drama, 'In Your Brilliant Season,' suffered from significantly poor performance, peaking at only 4.4% in ratings.

IU has already proven herself as 'Ratings Goddess' through dramas like 'Dream High,' 'You're the Best, Lee Soonshin,' and 'The Producers.' MEanwhile, Byun Wooseok generated massive buzz with 'Lovely Runner.' Therefore, the combination of the two received a lot of attention even before the drama aired.

As a result, with the very first episode already surpassing the previous drama's performance, there is growing interest in what kind of records this drama will set in the future.

Interestingly, the drama that holds the all-time highest ratings among MBC Friday-Saturday dramas is 'Knight Flower' (18.4%), ranked 2nd in premiere ratings. Meanwhile, the second highest ratings is 'The Red Sleeve' (17.4%), didn't even make it to the top ranks for its premiere episode.

On the other hand, 'Chief Detective 1958,' which holds the highest premiere rating, didn't see significant growth afterward and peaked at 10.8%, ending up at No. 7.

Therefore, attention is now focused on whether 'Perfect Crown' will follow in the footsteps of 'Knight Flower' or take the path of 'Chief Detective 1958.'

I was about to quit my job as a manager to start something else. After the schedule, we had a coffee at a cafe and he told me, "Hyung, I hope you do well. Let's meet again when we've both succeeded.' He was such a kind actor. I'm really happy to see him succeed now."

The person continued, "Wooseok-ah, even though I failed and probably can't keep the promise to meet again after succeeding, I'm so glad you made it. I will keep rooting for you to become an even more successful actor in South Korea! Fighting!"

Another person who claimed to be Byun Wooseok's junior from the military also shared a story. The commenter, identified himself as Byun Wooseok's junior from the 37th Division Headquarters, recalled, "At the time, I was a private first class and he was a sergeant. On the day he was discharged, I was going through a difficult time in the second-floor shower room, and even though we were in different platoons, he said something to me that I still remember."

He added, "He told me, 'Don't overthink things right now. I know how hard you're working, so things will get better soon. Hang in there, I'm heading out.' Those words were a huge source of strength throughout my military service. I was truly grateful then. I hope he becomes even happier. Salute."

As these stories flood in, netizens are reacting with comments like, "He must've really lived a good life," "He seems like a genuinely good person," and "There's a reason he succeeded. As expected, things will turn out good for people who are kind."

Meanwhile, Byun Wooseok will meet viewers through the new MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which premieres on the 10th.
