NYT reports ... "U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency provided outdated information that mistakenly identified the school as a military base."

Trump steps back after initially claiming it was 'Iran's doing' ... White House: "We accept the investigation"

Investigation results show that the U.S. military strike on an Iranian girls' elementary school on the 28th of last month (local time), which killed 175 people, was due to a targeting error.

On the 11th, the New York Times reported that the Shajara Tayyiba Elementary School building in Minab, Iran, where the tragedy occurred, was previously part of a naval base of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops (IRGC).

According to the ongoing preliminary investigation by the U.S. military, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) provided this outdated information to the U.S. Central Command, and the military mistakenly identified the elementary school as a military facility and carried out the strike.

Satellite image analysis confirmed that the building was separated from the military base between 2013 and 2016.

COMMENTS:

-When a war breaks out, who do you think dies? Only the innocent ones get killed... This is insane...

-It's shocking that their information hasn't been updated for 10 yearsㅋㅋㅋ Can you even call that an intelligence agency?

-It was separated 10 years ago, not just a few months ago. And they didn't know that? How can they go to war with intelligence like that?

-People are dead and you call it a 'mistake'?

-F*ck... People and children died and you're saying it was a f*cking mistake?

-Does brushing it off as a 'mistake' bring those dead children back? What did the children do wrong to deserve that?

-Who is this war even for?

-Stop the warㅠㅠ

-Anti-American sentiment among Iranians is going to get so much worse because of this. That’s a huge mistake.

-This is straight-up terrorism.

-Murderers~ Murderers~

-This is exactly the kind of problem that happens when you use AI for national defense intelligence.

-Looks like the war won't end at this rate…

-America is horrible.

-Can you even go to war with intelligence that outdated?

WOODZ: "My father passed away in the Philippines ... I still don't know the cause of his death"

SOURCE: 우즈 "필리핀서 돌아가신 父, 아직도 사인을 잘 모른다" ('유퀴즈')[종합]

WOODZ recalled the moment he lost his father while going through the lowest point of his life.

On the episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' aired on the 11th, WOODZ, who created the 'climbing up the chart' sensation with a song he performed during his military service, appeared as a guest.

While serving in the military, WOODZ performed 'Drowning' on 'Immortal Songs,' which later surged in popularity. 'Drowning' set a record for the longest time charting in the weekly TOP 10 and it sill remains in the TOP 10 even now.

WOODZ shared his thoughts, "I didn't expect this to happen either. I think it's unbelievable that the popularity lasted this long." He added, "I watched that video hundreds of times because I was curious." After analyzing it, he concluded that the reason might be the 'reactions' in the video. In the video, there was a soldier who reacted very enthusiastically to his performance. WOODZ revealed, "I actually found that person. I tried to invite him to my concert last year, but he turned me down because he had to study for exams," which made everyone laugh.

In addition, WOODZ also shared that he once studied soccer in Brazil. Despite his mother's opposition, he persuaded her by writing a detailed 'Brazil study plan' and went there alone at the age of 14. He said, "Because I started later and was shorter than others my age, I trained really hard." He continued, "I tried for two years, but it didn't work out. I thought, 'If I can't be the best here, how could I go higher?' I felt like my dream would never come true."

WOODZ continued, "Many people assume that I come from a wealthy family. Actually, my uncle helped a lot with my tuition fees for studying abroad. My parents divorced when I was in elementary school. I often stayed home alone, so I matured quickly. From a young age, I wanted to figure out my dream early." However, he tasted the bitterness of life for the first time at the age of 15.

After soccer, he began considering becoming a singer. WOODZ said, "Korean music programs and variety shows were a source of comfort for me when I lived in Brazil. After thinking about it for a week, I finally told my mother. She initially said, 'Just go back to soccer while I'm still being nice.' When I told her, 'I realized that I don't have the talent for soccer,' she actually seemed relieved."

Later, his mother sent him to an international school in the Philippines to study. He said, "I came back to South Korea every vacation to audition. I think I auditioned about 50 times. I failed SM Entertainment more then 10 times, but I passed YG Entertainment on the first try," revealing how he began his path as a trainee.

After his trainee days, he joined a group formed for activities in China, but their activities were halted because the Korean members were unable to enter China. Around that time, he received the news of his father's passing.

WOODZ said, "To be honest, I still don't know the cause of my father's death until now. I was just told, 'Your father passed away overseas.' My father had been living in the Philippines. I brought his ashes back to South Korea after he was cremated." He continued, "I couldn't believe that my father, who was the greatest person to me, was now inside this tiny thing (urn). It didn't feel real. I sent him off at a temple. I called out his name three times to say goodbye to this world. That's when it hit me that he was no longer part of this world. At the time, I just felt pain. However, as I've gotten older, I feel his absence even more." WOODZ was 21 years old at the time.

Later, he became interested in hip-hop and even participated in 'Show Me The Money 5,' but his footage was completely edited out. WOODZ recalled, "It felt like bad things kept happening. I felt like I wasn't even allowed to do what I wanted anymore, so I thought about quitting." He continued, "That's when my mother said, 'Give up. You've already quit something once. What's so hard about doing it again? If the Singer Cho Seungyoun starts to harm the Person Cho Seungyoun, you can give up anytime. To me, the Person Cho Seungyoun is more important.' Those words are still a great pillar of support in my heart today," touching the audience.

Yoo Yeonseok (41) shared his views on marriage on SBS' 'My Little Old Boy.'

On the 8th, Yoo Yeonseok appeared as a guest on 'My Little Old Boy' as part of his promise tied to SBS' 'Whenever Possible.'

Yoo Yeonseok had promised that if 'Whenever Possible' surpassed viewer ratings of 5%, he would appear on 'My Little Old Boy,' which was the highest-rated program at the time. Two years later, he fulfilled that promise.

On this day, Yoo Yeonseok was asked about marriage by MC Shin Dongyeop. When Shin Dongyeop asked, "When will you get married? Doesn't your mother ask you about it?" Yoo Yeonseok replied, "She did just yesterday," drawing sympathy.

When Shin Dongyeop asked, "Do you still have no thoughts on getting married?" Yoo Yeonseok replied, "I just haven't met the right person yet. I'm not against marriage."

Yoo Yeonseok, who previously said he wanted to get married in his 30s, cautiously stated, "I want to get married in my 40s." In response, Shin Dongyeop joked, "At this point, the next time you come on the show you'll say you want to get married in your 50s," which made everyone laughed. Kim Seungsoo's mother added humorously, "My son kept saying that every day, and that's how he ended up here."

Yoo Yeonseok also showed his potential 'daughter-fool' side as well. Having played the character of a pediatric surgery professor and worked with child actors in tvN's 'Hospital Playlist,' he said, "If I have a daughter, I want to braid her hair." When Seo Janghoon said, "Braiding hair is not easy. It requires good hand skills," Yoo Yeonseok showd his determination, saying, "I will learn it no matter what."

Meanwhile, Yoo Yeonseok is starring in the upcoming SBS drama 'Phantom Lawyer,' which tells the story of Shin Yirang, a 'possessed lawyer' who resolves the grudges of the dead, and Han Nahyun, a cold elite lawyer who bets everything on winning. The drama is set to premiere on the 13th.

Driving under the influence at 182km/h ... Nam Taehyun faces second trial today

WINNER's ex-member Nam Taehyun is heading back to court after driving under the influence during his probation period for drug use.

On the 12th, The Seoul Western District Court will hold the second trial for Nam Taehyun on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.

Nam Taehyun was indicted on charges of driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.122%, which is above the license revocation threshold of 0.08%, around 4.10 AM on April 27, 2025 near Dongjak Bridge on the Gangbyeonbuk-ro expressway heading towards Ilsan.

At the time, he was reportedly driving at 182 km/h, which far exceeds the road's speed limit of 80 km/h, and crashed into the central divider. Fortunately, there were no casualties from the accident.

This is the second time Nam Taehyun has been charged with drunk driving. In March 2023, while under investigation for drug-related charges, he caused a traffic accident due to driving under the influence and received a summary order for a 6 million KRW fine. In January last year, he was sent to trial alongside his ex-girlfriend Seo Minjae for violating the Narcotics Control Act and was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years.

At the first trial, Nam Taehyun entered the courtroom with his long blonde hair tied back. When the judge asked, "Do you admit to all the charges?" he replied, "That is correct."

Nam Taehyun also briefly stated regarding his current occupation, saying, "I am an office worker now."
