On the 3rd, AKMU's Lee Suhyun and Lee Chanhyuk appeared as guests in the web variety show 'Kang Hodong's Neighborhood Bookstore' and chatted with Kang Hodong.

On this day, Lee Suhyun said, "My brother does so much for us. But back then, I don't think I fully realized just how much he was doing," recalling their early days before her brother's military enlistment.

Lee Suhyun continued, "I think I assumed everything between us was split 50:50. Without really knowing anything, my brother went to the military, and I had to fill the gap on my own. I confidently declared, 'I should make my own album,' and tried to do it, but it just didn't work out," drawing laughter.

She added, "I thought to myself, 'I was arrogant. I don't have the ability to produce.' I thought that if I set my mind to it, I could compose songs too. I thought what my brother does was not a big deal, but that wasn't the case. I came to realization that I have my own strengths and I couldn't just naturally do what he's good at. In reality, he was doing about 90% of the work."

Meanwhile, Lee Chanhyuk recalled how much Lee Suhyun struggled, saying, "It felt like Suhyun was left all alone," touching everyone's hearts. In response, Lee Suhyun revealed, "I once said that I thought we should stop AKMU," surprising everyone.

Lee Chanhyuk shared, "Even if you fall into a deep pit, I will hold your hand and jump in with you," revisiting the story and creating an emotional moment.

Moon Sangmin and Kim Minju's drama ... Controversy over causing public inconvenience in Busan

Netflix drama 'Beauty in the Beast' is under fire for causing a nuisance during filming.

Recently, there has been a controversy on social media and online communities regarding the filming restrictions at the Gaegeum Culture Cherry Blossom Road in Busan, a spot that gained fame for its cherry blossom.

The production team of 'Beauty in the Beast' blocked off about a 20-meter section of the main deck on the Gaegeum Culture Cherry Blossom Road for two days starting on the 1st to film. As the most popular photo spot during peak cherry blossom season, tourists had to turn back in disappointment when they learned that it was restricted. Furthermore, the night lighting was turned off and the filming equipment took up the narrow paths, causing inconvenience for pedestrians.

The lack of prior notice, with only single banner at the entrance, despite the fact that it is a well-known tourist destination, is drawing criticism. In particular, it was confirmed that the filming proceeded without clear official permits to occupy the roads or sidewalks, intensifying the controversy.

The backlash has also spread to the lead actors. Since the drama stars Moon Sangmin, Kim Minju, and Lomon (NB: Park Solomon), complaints are now being directed towards the actors as well.

SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) BJ Juice Seyeon revealed her income.

On the 3rd, Juice Seyeon appeared as a guest on the 14th episode of 'AK! CAST' released on the Youtube channel 'Beautiful Nerd.'

In the video, when asked, "How do you split your revenue with your agency?" she replied, "I don't split my income from SOOP or Youtube. We only split my incomes from filming or advertisements. I feel sorry for the CEO, but since I have already been doing well in SOOP and Youtube, I wouldn't have signed the contract if I had to split my income from those two platforms."

When asked, "Don't you split your income from star balloons (NB: donations) with your agency?" Juice Seyeon responded, "That would be crazy," adding, "SOOP already takes 20% from the donations. Normally, regular BJs get 60%, best BJs get 70%, and partner BJs get 80%."

Juice Seyeon stated, "There was a time when my average annual income was 3 billion KRW. On my birthday, I earned 100 million KRW in a single day just from the donations. But that was two years ago. That was when I was earning well. I don't make that much now. It's gradually decreasing," adding, "I earned 100 billion KRW last year."

She also mentioned, "I once ran into a famous actor by chance and we made eye contact. Then we crossed paths once again. Usually, people with many followers or a blue verification badge show up first in your notifications, right? But one day, I saw that he had followed and then unfollowed me. He's not an idol."

She continued, "I checked my story highlights after a long time and saw soccer players and celebrities viewed them. But they don't usually send DMs," adding, "Instructor Jung Seungje also once liked my video and then unliked it. People can click by mystake, and after all, they're human so they might watch my videos."
