Ki Taeyoung, who is married to former S.E.S member Eugene, shared, "We first met through a drama. Our very first shoot led to our first kiss. As the drama progressed and we grew closer, I felt regretful that the kiss scenes were so short."

Married in 2011, Ki Taeyoung revealed his daily routine that centered entirely around his family. He said, "I don't make personal plans after 6 PM. I prioritize spending time with my wife and two daughters," adding, "In a year, I spend about 1.5 million KRW on myself," which means his monthly spending is around 100,000 KRW.

Brian exposes Kim Heechul's past attitude: "He ignored greetings from seniors, I really disliked him"

Singer Brian revealed a story about Kim Heechul during his trainee days.

On the 21st, a video titled "'We came to see your house' Brian clutches the back of his neck as Super Junior's invasion (Unreleased SM debut group stories, the founder of SM etiquette training)' was posted on the Youtube channel 'The Brian.'

Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Donghae visited Brian's 300-pyeong home. The three had previously been under SM Entertainment together.

Brian asked Eunhyuk, "Didn't you have a unique group name before Super Junior?" Eunhyuk replied, "'Smile,'" referring to the name of the group Donghae almost debuted in. Brian then said, "I remember 'Dream Team,'" and Eunhyuk recalled, "'Dream Team' was actually the original early name for DBSK."

Brian confessed, "The reason I remember that is because I hated Heechul so much during the 'Dream Team' trainee days." He continued, "I like him now, but back then I didn't know he had bad eyesight. One day in Cheongdam-dong, I recognized him first. I had seen him at SM, but he didn't greet me. I greeted him first, but he just said, 'Ah, yes,' and walked right past me. How would you feel if a junior did that to you?" revealing Heechul's past attitude. Eunhyuk responded, "If we're talking about Heechul Hyung back then, it might not have been because of his bad eyesight," causing everyone to laugh.

Brian added, "So I went back to the dorm and told Hwanhee. He said, 'Rookies don't greet seniors?' and I said, 'Exactly. I thought that was weird too.' Just then, a manager walked in, so I told him 'The 'Dream Team' kids don't greet us.'" Eunhyuk responded, "At some point during our trainee days, SM started etiquette classes. Maybe they started it because you spoke up, Hyung," leading to more laughter.

Nana shares feelings after facing robber in court: "I couldn't control my emotions, but I don't regret it"

Nana, a singer and actress formerly of the group After School, shared her feelings after appearing as a witness in a robbery case trial.

On the 21st, Nana shared via the fan communication platform Bubble, "Seeing him face-to-face made me feel so absurd and angry that I failed to control my emotions." She added, "I said everything I hadn't been able to say anywhere before," and "I don't regret my actions or words."

Seeing him face-to-face made me feel so absurd and angry that I failed to control my emotions.
But I said everything I hadn't been able to say anywhere before and it felt relieving.
I said everything I wanted to say to that man as well.
I don't regret my actions or words.
I know you all must have been worried.
I believe this will come to an end now!

She also reassured her fans, saying, "I'm sorry to the fans who were worried. I'm okay and I believe this will come to an end now."

Earlier that day, Nana appeared as a witness at the Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Court in the trial of Mr. A, a man in his 30s who was charged with robbery and causing injury. Arriving at court with her face hidden behind a hat and mask, she told the reporters, "I took a medicine before coming here. I'm very nervous," and added, "I plan to speak honestly and truthfully as it is."

However, Nana reportedly showed an emotional reaction upon facing the defendant in court. According to reports, she said, "Is this fun for you? Look at me straight in the eyes," leading the judge to ask her to remain composed, noting that the trial could not proceed smoothly in such a heated state. Afterward, Nana composed herself and testified about the incident.

She explained, "At the time, I acted instinctively in self-defense and he begged for his life, saying he was sorry. I thought it was important to calm the situation down first, so I asked my mother to call the police."

I hope he pays the price for all the malicious and criminal acts he has committed until now.

You reap what you sow.
'You face the consequences of your own actions'

After the trial, Nana also posted on her Instagram story the phrase 'You reap what you sow,' adding its meaning, "You face the consequences of your own actions," seemingly targeted at the suspect who denies the crime.

Meanwhile, Mr. A was brought to trial on charges of breaking into Nana's home in Acheon-dong, Guri, Gyeonggi Province last November, threatening her and her mother with a weapon, and attempting to steal valuables. It was reported that Nana and her mother subdued him after a physical struggle before reporting him to the police.

Since then, Mr. A has admitted to the trespassing but claimed he had no intention to rob them. He even filed a lawsuit against Nana, claiming he sustained injuries. The police determined Nana's actions were self-defense and decided not to forward the case. In response, Nana sued Mr. A for false accusation.
