Actor Ki Taeyoung shared stories from the past when he was in flirting stage with former S.E.S member and actress Eugene.

On the episode of MBC's 'Radio Star' that aired on the 22nd, Ryujin, Ki Taeyoung, Lucky, and Song Habin appeared as guests.

On that day, Ki Taeyoung revealed that he met his lifelong partner through the drama 'Creating Destiny,' and that his co-star at the time was his now wife, Eugene.

He recalled, "When I asked who my co-star was, they said it was Eugene. I knew she was a singer, but I had never really listened to her songs. Even now, I don't know much about idol songs. I just focused on the script, but we had to film the final scene first on location. I barely knew her, yet we had to go all the way to Australia to film our first kiss scene." He added, "For us actors, it's usually just a physical action without real emotions involved."

After hesitating for a moment because he had never told this to Eugene before, he confessed, "By the end of the drama, I had actually started to develop feelings for her, and that's when we happened to film a kiss scene. That time, the director kept cutting it short. It was the first time I felt that way. Even the director didn't know about it since we weren't officially dating yet. I felt like it was a shame. Even though I've done many kiss scenes, it was the first time I felt that way."

When asked if he had ever thought about making mistakes on purpose, he admitted, "I did think about that a little. I think I might have actually done it." He added, "We were in flirting stage. I still remember a scene where we sat on a park bench and she leaned on me. It was the first time I genuinely felt butterflies in my stomach while acting."

Meanwhile, Ki Taeyoung and Eugene developed into a couple after working together in the 2009 MBC drama 'Creating Destiny.' After dating for a year and six months, they got married in July 2011. They have two daughters, Rohee, born in 2015, and Rorin, born in 2018.

Actor Byun Wooseok brought up an incident from 10 years ago and apologized to IU.

On the 22nd, a video titled 'What if your ex-boyfriend who cheated on you 10 years ago returns as a Grand Prince and starts flirting with you?' was released on Yoo Inna's Youtube channel 'Yoo In Radio.'

On this day, Byun Wooseok recalled the filming of the 2016 SBS drama 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' and confessed his guilt toward IU.

Byun Wooseok began by saying, "I felt so grateful to IU, but also very sorry."

He continued, "There was a scene where I had to push her. I tried to be careful because I lacked acting experience at the time, but I failed to control my strength. I remember she fell harder than I expected."

IU responded, "From what I remember, you pushed me quite strongly," and added, "But you immediately helped me back up."

She also added, "Back then, we didn't have many scenes together. Therefore, it was very nice to work with him for a longer time this time."

The two also shared funny episodes regarding their height difference.

IU joked, "When I say something, there's a bit of a delay before it reaches him. When we talk standing up, his response comes back a while later. It feels like we're in a completely different spaces. It just can't be helped."

Byun Wooseok playfully replied, "It does take some time before it reaches my ears."

Meanwhile, IU and Byun Wooseok drew attention even before the release of MBC's 'Perfect Crown,' where they act as a married couple, ten years after their first time working together in 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.'

Moon Geunyoung reveals visible surgery scar on her arm .. "It was discovered after the golden time had passed ... I even thought about retiring"

Actress Moon Geunyoung shared the story of her difficult rehabilitation process from a rare disease.

On the episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on the 22nd, the 'Nation's Little Sister' Moon Geunyoung appeared as a guest.

In 2017, at the age of 31, Moon Geunyoung underwent emergency surgery for a rare condition called Acute Compartment Syndrome. Regarding the unfamiliar name of the illness, she explained, "It's an emergency condition that occurs when the fascia surrounding the muscles is compressed, making blood can't flow properly. That's why it's called acute."

She recalled, "I was preparing for a performance in the countryside. It was winter and the road was icy. I slipped and sprained myself. When I woke up the next day, it was swollen. If I had gone to the hospital right away, it would've been identified quickly. At the time, I jus thought, 'My wrist must be swollen because its broken,' and left it for a day. During that time, it worsened, so I went to a large university hospital. I met someone I'm very grateful there. Since the X-ray showed nothing, I thought I'd just get a splint. The doctor said, 'Oh, you're Moon Geunyoung. Why are you here?' and I told them I was there for a splint, but he looked at it and said, 'I don't think a cast is the right move. I won't give you a cast. You need an MRI. It looks like there's something serious.' Then the results showed it was Acute Compartment Syndrome."

She added, "They said the golden time had already passed and necrosis may have already begun, that I needed emergency surgery immediately. If I had just gotten a cast, something much worse could've happened. I am so grateful for that doctor, they saved my life," expressing her gratitude to the doctor who discovered her illness.

After surgery, Moon Geunyoung told her mother, "Mom, I'm so happy I can finally rest now." She added, "I didn't realize how big the wound was. They had to leave the wound open because if it's closed too soon, it could reopen. So, my arm was wrapped in bandages about five times its size. I hadn't even seen it yet when I told my mom that I'm glad I can rest."

She continued, "When I saw the wound for the first time after they removed the bandages, I thought, 'Whoa, this is serious.' It was a relief that necrosis hadn't progressed, but they told me that the nerves in my fingers might not recover. I think I cried when I heard it was that serious. I always cried alone. I lived with my grandmother, so I couldn't cry at home. I would park in the underground parking lot and just cry my eyes out."

After three additional surgeries, Moon Geunyoung began a long rehabilitation process. She said, "Since the nerves were damaged, I had to do exercises to revive them, along with muscle training. At first, I couldn't even do anything at all," as she demonstrated the motion of clenching her fist.

She admitted, "I even thought I might not be able to act anymore. I strongly believed I might not be able to use my arm," and shared how she committed herself to rehab just to make sure she could make a living, drawing sympathy.

Moon Geunyoung revealed that her fingers slowly started to move again after seven months of rehabilitation. The entire recovery process took about a year. She said, "My nerves have come back and I can use my muscles again now. It's such a relief."

Moon Geunyoung: "Winning Daesang at the age of 21, I couldn't enjoy it ... I burst into tears over one mistake"

Actress Moon Geunyoung shared her honest feelings as she looked back on winning the Daesang at a young age.

On the episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on the 22nd, the 'Nation's Little Sister' Moon Geunyoung appeared as a guest.

On this day, Moon Geunyoung first talked about her grandmother, who had been with her during her early career. She said, "In my early debut days, my grandmother acted as my manager and emotional support," and added, "However, as she got close to 70, it became harder for her to keep up with my schedule. Eventually, it was no longer possible for her to accompany me."

When Yoo Jaesuk mentioned, "Didn't you win the Daesang at the age of 21?" Moon Geunyoung confessed, "Looking back now, I don't think I was able to fully enjoy that moment." She continued, "At the time, I kept thinking, 'Do I really deserve this? I don't think this award suits me.' It's a shame I couldn't have been more confident and enjoyed it."

In fact, she said in her acceptance speech back then, "More than grateful, I actually feel more apologetic." Regarding this, she expressed, "If there's something I could say to my younger self, I'd want to say, 'It's okay to be a bit immature. It's okay to make as many mistakes as you want."

She added, "There was an incident that made me realize that I needed to experience making mistakes when I was young. I made a very small mistake, but I suddenly burst into tears," and explained, "I wondered why I was crying. It was because I wasn't used to making mistakes. Even after turning 30, I hadn't learned how to cope with mistakes. I wish I had more mistakes, faced challenges, and tried more things when I was younger."

Meanwhile, when Yoo Jaesuk asked, "If you were to be asked, 'How are you these days? You're really popular. How does it feel?' How would yo respond?" Moon Geunyoung replied, "Yes, you're right. I'm doing great these days. I'm the 'Nation's Little Sister' from 'My Little Bride,'" drawing laughter.

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

SOURCE: 브라이언, 김희철 인성 폭로 "선배가 인사해도 쌩 지나가, XX 싫어했다"

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.
