Another heartwarming story about actor Yoo Seungho (33) has been revealed.

The animal protection group 'Dear Ray' recently shared on their official social media account, "On a very cold weekend in January, actor Yoo Seungho came to visit the animals at Dear Ray," calling him a 'beautiful person.'

The photos shared in the post show Yoo Seungho warmly interacting with rescued cats and diligently cleaning the area.

Dear Ray added, "He cleaned the litter boxes, prepared food, and cleaned up dust in every corner. The animals at Dear Ray were rescued after suffering from abuse, accidents, and illnesses. He offered them warm looks, touches and voice. The babies were very happy. Last year, he gifted them food. We always struggle with hospital bills because of our low budget, and he even helped settle part of the payments with the hospital," revealing Yoo Seungho's remarkable kindness.

They continued, "He told us not to let people know about this, but we wanted to share the good deed of this beautiful young man. Thank you, Yoo Seungho-nim. We wish you a Happy New Year 2026."

Yoo Seungho has become a 'cat dad' after adopting two rescued cats in 2019. In 2022 while participating in a photoshoot to encourage adopting rescued cats, he said, "If you're going to abandon a cat, I hope you wouldn't raise one in the first place. If you can't take responsibility until the end, it would be wiser not to adopt at all. Still, for those who really want to raise one, it would be good to try volunteering first. You will definitely feel something there."

Yoo Seungho has been consistently volunteering for rescued cats for several years. Last year, he donated 2.5 tons of cat food.

On the 14th, Netflix released 'Single's Inferno: Reunion,' where the cast members reunited about six months after filming. They watched footage from the show together and talked honestly about how their relationships and lives have changed since then.

The VCR shown that day featured a scene where Choi Mina Sue told Sunghun about her concerns. At the same time, she talked about her conflict with Mingee, saying that she felt she was being made into a 'bad person' for no reason. Choi Mina Sue said, "I was really nice to the girls. I event lent them my bikini and always tried to help. I felt like the girls were keeping their distance just because the person I liked showed interest in me."

In the footage, Choi Mina Sue said, "I think Mingee doesn't like it when Seungil talks to me." Watching this, Kim Mingee looked surprised and clarified, "No. I was just staying still. I think I was just a bit tired."

In the footage, Choi Mina Sue said, "If other girls talk to that guy, I just leave them alone," and Kim Mingee responded directly, "Mina-ya, you can't control your facial expressions either." When Choi Mina Sue added, "I was really nice to the girls. I even lent my bikini," Kim Mingee reacted, "That's me. She's talking about me. If you're going to talk like that, you didn't have to lend it to me."

Throughout the video, Choi Mina Sue appeared uneasy. Embarrassed by her own words, she said, "Wow, why did you include this footage? Did I actually say that?" She eventually admitted, "I have nothing to say. I was wrong." In response, Kim Mingee said, "I'll say 'no comment.' I'll talk to Mina about this matter separately later."

At one point, Choi Mina Sue even asked for a brief pause, saying, "Can I take a short break?"

Later, in an interview with the production team, Choi Mina Sue reflected, "I think I was arrogant and not humble. I tend to be very honest and there have been times when that caused friction with others. I felt embarrassed thinking that someone might have been hurt because of my actions."

Kim Mingee also shared, "The moment I saw that, I felt like nothing good would come out of my mouth if I spoke. I thought it would be better to hear an explanation from Mina separately later."

'School violence' Jisoo made a comeback in the Philippines ... Former agency faces aftershocks 'ordered to pay 880 million KRW to 'River Where the Moon Rises'

SOURCE: '학폭' 지수는 필리핀서 복귀했는데.."'달뜨강' 제작사에 8.8억 배상" 후폭풍 떠안은 옛 소속사

Victory Content, the production company behind KBS' 'River Where the Moon Rises,' has partially won the second trial of damages lawsuit against KeyEast, the former agency of actor Jisoo, who stepped down from the drama due to school violence allegations. However, the amount to be paid decreased by about 500 million KRW compared to the first trial.

On the 13th, News1 reported that the Seoul High Court ruled, "KeyEast must pay 881.49 million KRW plus delayed interest to Victory Content."

The original compensation amount set in the first trial was around 1.42 billion KRW, but in the second trial it was reduced by about 540 million KRW.

The court did not explain the detailed reasons for this decision in the courtroom.

Jisoo, who had played the lead role of 'Ondal' in 'River Where the Moon Rises,' faced allegations of school violence in 2021 after posts and comments surfaced on online communities. The posts claimed Jisoo had committed bullying, assault, threats, verbal abuse, and other acts of school violence.

At that time, Jisoo apologized on social media, saying, "I sincerely apologize to those who suffered because of me," and stepped down from the drama. His exclusive contract with KeyEast was also terminated. Na Inwoo took his place and re-filmed episodes 1 to 6, which Jisoo had already filmed.

In April 2021, Victory Content filed a damages lawsuit seeking around 3 billion KRW. The production company stated, "Since the drama was pre-produced and was almost finished, we had no choice but to re-film everything because the actor had been replaced. This caused direct losses in staff costs, location and equipment fees, and actor fees. We are also suffering from lower ratings and complaints from overseas clients."

They also claimed, "We attempted to negotiate with KeyEast to recover damages, but since to the other side lacks of cooperation, we had to file a lawsuit.”

Meanwhile, in October 2023, Jisoo stated that he cleared up the misunderstanding with the person who initially raised the school violence allegations. He is currently continuing his acting career in the Philippines.

Tzuyang confirms her body measurements at 161cm and 44kg ... "My monthly income is about the price of a foreign car"

On the 15th, mukbang Youtuber Tzuyang appeared as a guest on MBN's 'Altolan' along with master chef Park Kyungrye.

On this day, MC Lee Sangmin welcomed her, saying, "The greatest person with 13 million subscribers is here."

He added, "They say appetite decreases as you get older, but that doesn't apply to Tzuyang yet, right?"

Tzuyang replied with a laugh, "I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat as much when I turn 30, but maybe because it hasn’t been long, I’m still the same."

Amazed by Tzuyang’s incredible appetite, Lee Sangmin carefully asked about her weight, to which she replied, "I’m 161cm tall, and my weight stays between 44kg and 47kg."

When asked, "Don't you eat up to 10kg of food at once?" she replied, "If you include drinks, it seems to be about 10kg. My weight goes up and down. If I eat a lot, it does increase."

Regarding her income, she shared, "It is about the price of one foreign car per month."

Tzuyang added, "At first, my mother was against me doing mukbang. My family members are not big eaters, so they were worried about me eating so much since I was young. When I reached 500,000 subscribers, my mom called me. She was crying, but she was convinced once I started giving her allowance money. After I got a health check-up and she saw there were no health issues, she started supporting me."

'Altolan' airs every Sunday at 5 PM (KST).

Tsuki finishes 42.195km even after losing a toenail: "I shouldn't lose to myself"

SOURCE: 츠키, 발톱 빠져도 42.195km 완주 "지면 안 된다는 생각" (신년인터뷰②)

In December last year, Billlie's Tsuki appeared as a running mate on MBC's 'Extreme 84.' She joined Lee Eunji in the Médoc Marathon held in the Médoc region of Bordeaux, France.

Although Tsuki had previously shared that she enjoys running, doing a full-course marathon was a huge challenge or her. The reason she decided to go straight for the full course was because of her father.

Tsuki said, "My father ran this same race 15 years ago, so I thought it would only be meaningful if I also challenged the full course. I trained for about two months to prepare." She added, "I enjoy running, but I had never run more than 15km before. I kept training with my coach and Kian84 Oppa. I ran with the mindset that I must finish no matter what."

Specifically on 'Extreme 84,' Tsuki showed a different side compared to her image on 'Workdol.' Even in extreme situations, her facial expression barely changed, showing a twist in her charm.

Tsuki said, "In other variety shows, I tend to whine a bit while doing the work, but since the marathon felt like a real challenge, I felt I shouldn't lose to myself."

She continued, “It was so hard, my heart rate went up to 197. Inside, I wanted to take a short break, but I felt that if I took a break then, I wouldn't be able to finish the full course."

Although she prepared for a long time, Tsuki unfortunately sprained her ankle during the race. However, with help from pacemaker Kwon Hwawoon, she finished the race in 6 hours, 17 minutes, and 45 seconds. This made her earn the title of the first girl group member to complete a full-course marathon.

Regarding this, Tsuki said, "I watched myself running on the broadcast, and I got emotional remembering that moment. When I was running, I was only thinking about finishing. Watching this reminded me of the scenery, communicating with people, and everyone who cheered for me."

She explained, "I think I was able to endure it all because of the strength I gain from other people. If I had been alone, I don’t think I could have finished, but thanks to the other runners, I could run until the end." She added, "I was actually injured, and I even lost a toenail. But I felt that if I finished this, I could handle whatever happens in the future, so I kept going."

Before 'Workdol' and 'Extreme 84,' another famous show featuring Billlie was the Netflix series 'Zombieverse.' Tsuki, who drew attention for her chemistry with Dex, said, "It was really scary. I didn’t expect the zombies would look so real." She added, "Since it’s a reality show, they didn't tell us anything. Once filming started, even the PDs and cameramen would hide. There was no one around. We had to find our own way and keep filming for hours."

She continued, "We didn't know where a zombie might appear, and if you get bitten, it's really over. So I got very immersed. It felt like I was really in a zombie world. That made it even scarier, but it was still a fun shoot."

Even though she starred in the horror-themed 'Zombieverse,' Tsuki confessed she is easily scared. She said, "I do have a strong mentality, but I’m easily scared. I get scared by surprises, scary things, or taking on new challenges."

She added, “Being easily scared sometimes makes things difficult during my career, but it also makes me careful and detailed. I’m really scared of ghosts, though. Variety shows love that, and I can feel it too.”

Tsuki also shared that she has fears about the future. She said, "I try to tell myself to 'think less,' but that’s just my personality, so I can't help it. So I stay busy so that I don't have time to overthink."

She continued, “That’s why I tend to move intensely, like with running. When I focus on one thing, I don’t have distracting thoughts. Recently, I've started drawing as a hobby. Being able to draw without thinking helps my brain rest. I like that it gives me a break."

When asked which of her images on 'Workdol,' 'Extreme 84,' or 'Zombieverse' shows her real self, she explained, "Honestly, the image you see on variety shows isn't my 100% real self. I’m not usually that bright. I’m quite quiet when I’m alone." She added, "I think that side of me only comes out because filming is fun. But if I had to choose one, since 'Zombieverse' is in a reality format, I think it captured my real self the most."

Then she joked, "But the one with my 'real' reactions was 'Extreme 84.'"

On the 14th, Yuk Junseo posted a selfie on his personal social media along with the caption, "Finished the homework of fixing my broken nose. Everyone, please exercise safely."

He added, "I won't be able to work out for a month, so for the time being, this will be an 'Artstagram,'" revealing that he plans to focus on his art instead of working out during his recovery period.

In the photo, Yuk Junseo is seen wearing a black beanie with a bandage wrapped around his nose, showing his condition right after the surgery.

Previously, Yuk Junseo had revealed through various platforms that he broke his nose during a boxing match. On his Youtube channel, he explained, "My nose was broken during a real boxing match. Because I delayed the surgery, my nose has bent into a C-shape now. This isn't for cosmetic purposes, it's a reconstructive surgery to make my nose straight again."

At the time, he also shared that he suffered an eardrum and elbow injury, drawing sympathy.

Yuk Junseo is a former UDT member who first gained recognition through the show 'Steel Troops' and later became even more popular after appearing on Netflix's 'Single's Inferno 4.'

He has continued his acting career by starring in Netflix's 'Sweet Home' Season 2 and 3 and Wavve's 'ONE High School Heroes.' He is also set to appear in 'King of Survival' Season 2, scheduled to air this year.

'She was called 'Kim'' NewJeans' Minji finally left South Korea? ... Fans speculate over a single blurry photo



SOURCE: "'김'이라 불렸다" 뉴진스 민지, 결국 한국 떠났나…흔들린 사진 한 장에 팬들 추측 난무

Rumors that NewJeans' Minji was spotted in London is becoming a hot topic online.

Recently, a post by a netizen who claimed to have seen Minji in London spread through online communities. The poster wrote, "I ran into two Korean women in the morning. One of them, wearing a black beanie and a leather puffer jacket, looks just like Minji. Her eyes and mouth especially looked similar, but I couldn't confirm it directly because they were far away."

The poster continued, "I heard the person next to her call her 'Kim.' If it really was Minji, I think I was very lucky."

The photo released in the post shows two women looking at their phones. Because the photo is blurry and taken from a distance, it's hard to tell if it's actually Minji. Nonetheless, fans are expressing their excitement as this is the first rumored update about Minji in a while.

Last month, there were also multiple online people on the internet who claimed to have spotted another NewJeans' member, Hanni, in Australia.

Meanwhile, following the legal dispute with their agency ADOR, the public is now focusing their attention on the members' future activities. As some members have expressed their intentions to return, the public is also looking forward to Minji's next move. 

TOP COMMENTS:

1. [+356][-129] Just let them flop so Min Heejin can pick them up and start over. The girls definitely look much better and prettier when Min Heejin handles the concepts and styling.

2. [+154][-62] Even if Min Heejin made a big mistake, they should have solved it internally or disciplined her for the sake of NewJeans instead of exposing it to the media. In the end, despite the company hiring dozens of high-level lawyers, the police found no evidence of breach of trust, and the court ruled in Min Heejin's favor... So, it's a shame. And isn't this whole 'uncle' controversy just a butterfly effect from when Min Heejin resigned?

3. [+354][-97] Well, the group is ruined now anyway... They each have to find their own way to survive.

4. [+146][-48] Who is the one that blocked NewJeans' future?

5. [+69][-40] Do they even have kalguksu restaurants in the UK too????
