-Who will the main leads be?

-When will the casting news drop?

-I'm most curious about the director.

-I’m so curious...

-Crazy... I'm so freaking excited for this.

-Did she work on 'Genie, Make a Wish' for a mood change because the atmosphere of her next project is heavy and sad?

-I wonder what the story will be about.

-She writes historical dramas so well...

-Oh, I'm looking forward to it...

Jung Ilwoo caught in a 'lovestagram' slip-up ... Captured on a date with beautiful CEO in a quickly-deleted Instagram post

 

https://v.daum.net/v/20251009142846613

Jung Ilwoo drew attention after mistakenly posting a picture on his social media then hurriedly deleting it.

On the 9th, Jung Ilwoo shared two pictures on his social media, a typical couple photo where he's taking a picture of someone in one picture and another of that person taking a picture of him. Jung Ilwoo captioned both pictures 'Good day' and tagged both his own and the other person's accounts. The two people appeared to be having a warm meal together, using matching phone cases, further fueling dating speculation.

The woman in the photo is reportedly the CEO of a brand for which Jung Ilwoo models for. The brand is known to generate tens of billions KRW in revenue.

theqoo

-That's great! I'm jealous! Congrats!

-So what? I hope he's happy.

-He’s not an idol anyway, he should get married soon.

-Oh congrats~ He was the first actor I ever liked...

-He’s not an idol anyway... As long as she's not a criminal, he can date whoever he wants.

-I like how happy they look in such simple date photos... I wonder if his fans feel differently though.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ How cute..

-He probably meant to post it on his private accountㅋㅋ

-He’s probably always been dating but didn’t want to go publicㅠ I hope he doesn't stress over this and continues date comfortably.... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What brand is it though??

-He probably wanted to keep it private, that’s a bit unfortunateㅋㅋ I hope he's happy.

-But wait, the table and drinks look different though??ㅋㅋㅋ

-Well, he can date, right? Congrats!

-Wow, he must’ve panicked after realizing what he postedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's nearly 40 now, so congratulations.

Who was your favorite male cast member from 'Transit Love' Season 2?

 

Jung Hyungyu

Nam Heedoo

Jung Gyumin

Park Wonbin

Kim Taei

Seon Minki

theqoo

-If I had to pick only one, it would be Gyumin.

-Gyumin. But if we're talking about looks, Heedoo.

-I like gentle personalities, so Gyumin. Even though he was too cold to Haeun on purpose, I think he treated her well when they were dating.

-Wonbin, but now I like Gyumin too.

-There are more people who like Gyumin than I thought. I thought I was the only oneㅋㅋㅋ

-If we’re talking about looks, Taei.

-Personality-wise, Gyumin. Appearance-wise, Heedoo.

-Taei, followed by Hyungyu.

-Ah, Seon Minki… too bad we didn’t get to see more of his charm.

-Seems like height doesn’t matter much after all, judging by how popular Gyumin isㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I didn’t like Gyumin at all when the show aired, but if I was one of the female casts, I think I would have picked Gyumin or Heedoo.....

-Hyungyu is handsome.

-Hyungyu or Taei for me.

-I don’t even remember the last guy.

Cha Eunwo admits he's been hit on by a celebrity

 

Q: Have you been hit on by a celebrity?

A: Yes

theqoo

-They should've asked if he's a human instead.

-Why ask something so obvious?

-If I were a celebrity, I probably would've tried to hit on him at least onceㅋㅋ

-It's like asking if he has ever worn a black t-shirt in his entire life.

-It would be more surprising if he hadn't been hit on. I mean, it's so obviousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's Cha Eunwoo.

-It's like asking if he breathes.

-It's like asking if he has ever pooped.

-WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is SO surprising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-How is that even a questionㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Of course he hasㅋㅋㅋ I’m more curious whether it was a man or a womanㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm not even a little surprisedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It'd be a lie if he said noㅋㅋ

-The whole nation already knows that.

-What kind of question is thatㅋㅋㅋㅋ 1+1 has always been 2.

Recent whereabouts of the trainee who got eliminated right before Heart2Heart's debut

She appeared n SBS 'The Ballad of Us'

Kim Yoonie: I'm Kim Yoonie, who's starting anew with ballads after training as an idol trainee. I Before I became a trainee, I used to post covers of ballad songs on Youtube. The company contacted me after seeing those videos. I moved from Daejeon to Seoul in my 2nd year of high school to start training.

Mimi: You must've trained with other friends. Did any of them debut?

Kim Yoonie: Yes, they debuted in Hearts2Hearts and Aespa...

Jeon Hyunmoo: You trained together?

Kim Yoonie: Yes. Our trainee periods overlapped.

Jeon Hynmoo: How long did you train?

Mimi: I trained for five years starting in high school.

Staff: Where did you watch the debut stage of the friends you practiced with?

Kim Yoonie: At home... It was broadcast live. Seeing them all dressed up on a big stage made me feel strange and sad. 

After hearing that she trained with Aespa and Hatuha, I looked her up.

Apparently she made it to the Hatuha debut lineup, but was dropped right before the debut.

She would've been a solid visual and main vocalist. What a pityㅠㅠ

SMNGG Main Vocal

Her name is Kim Yoonie

This Hatuha picture was leaked around September 2025, they had 9 members here

The members said they practiced with SNSD's songs a lot.

There were constantly leaked pictures of a trainee named Yoonie born in 2002, she was rumored to be the main vocalist, etc. This suggests that she really left right before the debut.

I looked up who the former SM trainee was

It was Kim Yoonie... I genuinely thought she was going to debut as the main vocalist, especially since SM Ent. intentionally leaked her pictures right before the debut to see netizens' reactions.

'What's your reason for choosing Yoonsang's 'The Shadow of Farewell'?'

Kim Yoonie: I first heard this song while taking the train ride home to Daejeon (My hometown) after packing my things and leaving the dorm after my trainee life came to an end. The song matched how I felt at the time. I prepared and dreamed of being an idol for five years. I felt like I needed to take a break from the long road I'd been running on, just like the song. More than anything, it's Yoonsang's debut song. I wanted it to mark a new beginning for me too.

'This stage is the debut stage of 22-year-old Kim Yoonie'

theqoo

-It must be because of her age. Her age is closer to Aespa's members. Debut ages keep getting younger and younger.

-Whoa.... She looks like Wendy.

-Why didn't they debut her in Hatuha?

-She's pretty. She looks like Wendy. And she has beautiful voice. She trained for five years... What a pity.

-If age was the issue, the company should've let her go when Aespa debuted. Why did they keep her for that long?

-Idol debuts seem to be more about luck than skill. Even talented ones don't get to debut if they don't suit the group's concept.

-Let's not speculate why she was eliminated from the debut lineup, it'll only lead to negative feelings for everyone. Let's just cheer her on. It's not always about age or skill.

-SM Ent. usually doesn't care that much about age. So maybe it wasn't that...

-Hul... So she was dropped from the 9-member lineup and the group ended up debuting with 8 members? That's sad.

-I can't imagine how sad she must've been on her train ride home after training for 5 years... The company shouldn't have kept her for that long.

-It's probably because she's older... The maknae is like... '10-liner.

-She's an amazing singer. I hope she succeeds!

-The 9-member lineup member would've been amazing... What a shame.

-The company already have two groups with big age gaps between the leader and the maknae. They could've just debuted her.

-If she was born in 2002, it probably is because of her age. Especially if the second oldest member was born in 2006. But still, why did they keep her for that long?
