Appearances in variety show backfires ... Lee Heejun's self-pity and Lee Jehoon's zero survival skills drop their likeability


https://tenasia.hankyung.com/article/2025011449514

It seems that Lee Heejun and Lee Jehoon's appearances on variety shows turned out to be poison rather than benefit. Both actors revealed their true personalities behind their characters in dramas by appearing on various variety shows. However, they failed to gain public favor and instead were highlighted for their flaws.

Song Joongki and Lee Heejun appeared as guests on the episode of JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' on January 12th. Lee Heejun drew attention with his unique behavior and remarks on the show. He stated, "I don't care about taste," and dipped vegetables in truffle oil, which made viewers raise their eyebrows. The ingredients in his refrigerator reflected Lee Heejun's comfortable lifestyle.

He expressed self-pity, saying, "I feel sorry for myself because I have to finish my meals within 15 to 20 minutes." However, most office workers find this difficult to relate. His statement about having rice and seaweed soup cooked by his wife every morning also lacked consistency. In the scene where he was moved by Chef Choi Hyunsuk's dish, Lee Heejun repeatedly said, "I feel sorry for myself because I've been working so hard that I forgot how to appreciate taste." This reaction came off as exaggerated and unnatural.

The most controversial part was his attitude towards Chef Kim Poong. When the chef chose him, Lee Heejun couldn't hide his expressions and showed a rude behavior towards the chef's dish. He even ignored Song Joongki's positive reaction. Despite gaining popularity through his stable acting skills in previous works, Lee Heejun's behavior in 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' fell short of the viewers' expectations, negatively impacting his image.

Meanwhile, Lee Jehoon's appearance on tvN's 'Rented in Finland,' is also receiving disappointing reactions. The program, which aired its first episode on January 6, gained high expectations with its fresh lineup including Lee Jehoon, Lee Dongho, Kwak Dongyeon, and Cha Eunwoo. However, it has been criticized as 'A celebrity travel show lacking both fun and emotion' after its release.

In particular, viewers are feeling disappointed with Lee Jehoon's lack of basic life skills. The scene where he couldn't even make scrambled eggs properly, despite being in his 40s, sparked debate among viewers. Since he usually runs an independent film Youtube channel and has always shown his cute side on variety shows, there were high expectations that he would also be charming in terms of his life skills. However, this turned out to be a point of criticism.

'Rented in Finland' started with a viewer rating of 3.3% for its first episode. However, the ratings have dropped to 2.4% in recent episodes. He also received similar criticism when he appeared on JTBC's 'Traveler' in 2019, which further increased his disappointment.

Actors often appear on variety shows to showcase their true personalities beyond their characters in dramas and to connect with the viewers on a more personal level. Lee Heejun and Lee Jehoon likely anticipated positive reactions as they challenged themselves to appear on variety shows. However, instead of showing a different and charming side of themselves, they ended up revealing their disappointing sides. This led to public criticism that their appearance on the show was a worse choice than not appearing at all.

theqoo

-ㅋㅋㅋ It seems like everyone's thinking the same thing. I also thought his behavior on 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' was such a turn-offㅋㅋ

-It's not like they asked him to make side dishes... I can totally understand why people think it's such a turn-off when he couldn't even make a simple scrambled egg. I didn't think much of it, though... But did he really deserve to get criticized for that...?

-It’s not a crime for Lee Jehoon to not know how to cookㅋㅋㅋㅋ 'm not sure about Lee Heejun's concept, but it was rude of him to disrespect Kim Poong. Kim Poong chose to cook for him and he straight up said that he didn't like Kim Poong's cooking style. I got secondhand embarrassment while watching that.

-Compared to Lee Heejun's case, Lee Jehoon is actually adorable.

-All Lee Jehoon did was being not being able to cook. But he diligently helped others prepare breakfast, helped the others cooking, and even worked hard to clean up. He doesn't deserve this level of criticismㅠㅠ

-We're living in a world where you get criticized for not knowing how to make scrambled eggs...

-I didn't watch Lee Jehoon's show, so I don't know much. But honestly, Lee Heejun surprised me.

-Lee Jehoon just doesn't have that sense, that's just how he is. Besides, it's not like he ever has to cook for himself. So, I don't think he should be criticized just because of that.

-Is not knowing how to cook the same as being rude? Anyway, thankfully, neither of them are my husband.

-Honestly, I’m not even a fan, but I don’t get why Lee Jehoon is being criticized so muchㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ His scrambled egg did surprise me, but other than that, there was nothing really wrong with him.

-No matter how bad you are at cooking, I just don't understand why he had to dump that much salt in the scrambled egg... I'd understand if he usually eats that salty, though.

-You really need to watch Lee Jehoon's clips... For me, it wasn't even the butter that surprised me. It's the salt. Whoa... I couldn't even say anything because it was so absurd.

-Other than that, Lee Jehoon was really good at cleaning and tidying up. He was also a great helper to Cha Eunwoo while he was cooking.

-Lee Heejun was really disappointing on 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator'

-I'm not a celebrity, so I don't know, but sometimes I think celebrities who maintain a normal, everyday person's sensibility are truly amazing.

Analyzing ATEEZ Hongjoong's lyrics, which seems targeting HYBE's reports and Bang Sihyuk

 

Should I be mad?

Not a single thing is fun (about this)

Act your age, you good-for-nothing

Just nod-nod, clap-clap (NB: Referring to a Korean nursery rhyme)

Why are you mad?

Do you think you're something special, hitman?

If you’ve got time to observe others, watch your own back

Du-du-du, bang

Life blinded by envy and jealousy

The way you curse while mentioning names

You'll be playing mind games all your life

You never work when it’s time to, you just keep getting mad later

Oh Gosh, it's so hot

Look at me fanning the flames, setting the remains of your house in fire, you old boomer

I know it's unfair

Yeah, yeah, that brand's muse is already me Yeah, yeah, your keyboard makes mе money Fame, yeah, don't bе too mad, I'm sorry Yeah, yeah, there's no way 

theqoo

-Does he have anything to do with Bang Sihyuk too?

-This is f*cking hip-hop... 'Act your age, you good-for-nothing'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is what hip-hop is.

-Oh, was his group mentioned in HYBE's report too?

-Ah... He mentioned 'Hitman' in the lyricsㅋㅋㅋ

-'Life blinded by envy and jealousy' << This is very accurate.

-I can hear BTS' fans freaking out from here.

-I'm a HYBE stan, but honestly, they deserve to be dissed even worse.

-Even if his group wasn't mentioned in HYBE's report, it's natural for him to be angry as he's also in the same industry.

-Hitman ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And he also mentioned 'Bang' in the end. It's obvious he's attacking them.

-'Do you think you're something special, hitman?'~

-Wait... I didn't know he was this manlyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-HYBE stans must be shaking in anger right nowㅋㅎㅋㅎ

-The lyrics are so good~^^

SHINee's full-group performance falls through leads to an unnecessary search for someone to blame

https://naver.me/GsjhLDD3

SHINee's absence as a full-group at SMTOWN Concert has sparked conflicts among fans as the 'Find the culprit' game is intensifying over who is responsible for this.

On January 11 and 12, SM Entertainment held a joint concert at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul to commemorate its 30th anniversary. While most SM artists participated, only Minho and Key from SHINee attended. Onew and Taemin, who left SM Entertainment in March last year and signed with Griffin Entertainment and Big Planet Made, respectively, did not attend.

Fans who were expecting a complete group performance started to speculate about the reasons for Taemin and Onew's absence. Onew had just released his 4th minialbum 'CONNECTION' on January 6, while Taemin is in the middle of his first world tour, 'Ephemeral Gaze.' However, since there were no other scheduled events between his Macau concert on January 4th and his Mexico concert on January 28th, there was no reason why he couldn't have participated in the SMTOWN Live. However, while Onew appeared in SM's 30th-anniversary content, Taemin did not.

Initally, Onew faced criticism because there were claims that he was uncooperative with group activities after releasing his solo album to fulfill his individual schedule. In response, the CEO of Onew's agency expressed his dissatisfaction through his personal SNS account, saying, "We're constantly receiving cancellations for the same reason. How much longer are we supposed to wait? Isn't there a problem?". They claimed that it wasn't their fault. The CEO continued to express their dissatisfaction and also stated, "SM is doing a good job."

Because of the CEO of Onew's agency saying there were no problems between them and SM, attention turned to Taemin's agency, Big Planet Made. On the 15th, Big Planet Made released an official statement through their SNS. Big Planet Made stated, "We are aware of the concerns regarding Taemin's activities with SHINee," and added, "All the content recently posted on SNS contains clear false information, and we will take strong legal action against such false information."

Big Planet Made especially emphasized, "Our company always supports and encourages Taemin's activities with SHINee, which he greatly loves," and added, "We are doing our best to provide full support so that our artist can receive fair treatment and carry out his activities." The expression "fair treatment" in the statement has once again sparked a debate among fans over who is responsible.

The reason why fans are trying to find out the reason why plans SHINee's full-group performance fell through is ultimately due to disappointment. It's become common for idol groups whose contracts have ended to leave their original agencies but still agree to continue group activities. In fact, some groups have successfully managed to pursue both individual and group activities. However, it's also common for plans to fall through due to changes in circumstances and different agencies. Even so, constantly trying to find the cause or blame for these situations isn't always good for the group's future. Instead of focusing on finding someone to blame, it might be more helpful for fans to believe that they will eventually come back together.

Despite difficulties in coordinating between the agencies, the four members have consistently expressed their desire for a complete SHINee group activity. Key and Minho, while performing at the SM Town concert, promised to appear as a full group next time. Separately from the company's stance, Taemin emphasized on the 13th that, "I, along with the other members, want to protect SHINee and write many more stories." Onew also mentioned the value of group activities in an interview. We look forward to seeing SHINee return to alleviate the disappointment caused by the incomplete group activity.

theqoo

-Poor Onew.

-I can't believe they stayed quiet when Onew was getting all the hate...ㅠ

-If the full-group performance wasn't important, why was Onew getting all the hate?? They spread rumors everywhere to the point even non-fans knew about itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Taemin-ah, what is this... The way BPM picking a fight with SM makes them look like HYBE.

-No need to look for the culprit. It's obvious already.

-BPM is acting way too much like HYBE.

-The more they do this kind of media play, the more it seems like Taemin is the reason why the full-group performance fell apartㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why did he join that company? I’m genuinely curious.

-Do they have no conscience?

-The one saying not to look for the culprit is usually the culpritㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I didn’t like Onew, but this is very low of them.

-I guess they can't even deny it... They can only say 'don't look for the culrpit'...

-What’s with this 'culprit' nonsense? Where were articles like this when Onew was being getting all the hate?

-It would be better if they didn't do this kind of media playㅋㅋㅋ 'Unnecessary search for the culprit'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everyone already knows who the culprit is.

-I don't like Onew and frankly, I don't even know his face well. However, Taemin's side is so irritating. It's making his image getting worse.

Song Joongki breaks down in tears at Lee Sungmin’s words: "The actors feel like they want to die"


https://www.wikitree.co.kr/articles/1018385

Lee Sungmin shared, "When I came here, I saw the parking lot was completely empty, and it broke my heart. It seems like there are hardly any people in the theater. There may be various reasons for this, but it's really tough for actors when there are no audiences in theaters. Especially when a movie is released during times like this, actors often feel like they want to die."

Song Joongki quietly nodded in agreement with every word Lee Sungmin said.

Lee Sungmin continued, "But still, it’s something we have to endure because we’re actors. Please give our movie as much support as you can so we can succeed until the end."

Lastly, Song Joongki took the microphone. "As my senior mentioned, the Korean film industry is going through a very difficult time these days. Honestly, just having a movie released in theaters is something we're really grateful for right now. We worked harder on promotions than ever before. We wanted to let people know about it and see it in a good light. Although the film industry is struggling, our role as actors is to create good content that comforts and entertains audiences who are going through tough times... So, we will do our best to create various works and be a source of strength for everyone."

Song Joongki then said, "As I talk about this, I feel like I'm about to cry..." and his voice trembled as he paused. After barely gathering himself, he said, "Thank you." His eyes welled up with tears. Lee Sungmin also became visibly emotional.

'Bogota', which was released on December 31st last year, is in a truly disastrous situation. As of the 15th, the cumulative audience is 400,000. The break-even point for this movie is 3 million viewers.

theqoo 

-It's because the tickets are expensive and the movie is boring. Why are they acting like that while earning the amount of money that I can't even imagine?

-They get paid several years' worth of an average person's salary and yet they're complaining?? What a bullshitㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm struggling myself. Why should I watch a boring movie just because you're having a hard time? Just take care of your staff...

-Everyone is struggling in this economy!! During times like these, even reducing your fees could help create a better movie.

-If the movie is good, it will sell... Song Joongki's image is just becoming more unlikable over time.

-Even if the movie flops, the actors still get paid, right? A good movie will sell itself without much promotions.

-I don't understand when they say they want to die... Some people are literally dying right nowㅋㅋ Of course actors have their own struggles, but saying something like that in this day and age... It makes me wonder if they think death is that simple.

-I understand how they feel, but I just can’t sympathize at all.

-I get where they're coming from, but my own life is so tough that I can’t relate.

-Even so, they're still making a lot of money. What's there to cry about?

-It's not like they have to give back their fees if the movie flops, right?

-I don’t understand what they want us to do. I can’t relate at all.

-They probably each own a building anyway, so why should I feel sorry for them?

-Even if their movies fail, they can just go on to the next project and make a lot of money.

-Are you really making movies to comfort people who are struggling?ㅋㅋ

A K-Drama that's gaining a lot of QRTs

Ha Jungwoo and Jung Soojung to star in new drama 'Landlord' directed by Lim Pilsung:

A thriller about a struggling landlord who gets involved in a kidnapping plot to protect his family and building, which he values more than his life. 

🔒 Wow, the synopsis... Low-income people who don't have buildings but have debts to pay are frowning to see this... 

'Struggling landlord'? What even is that?

theqoo

-Is he paying off a loan?

-We'll understand once we watch it, you guys... We still don't know the details yet.

-What are they talking about???

-That is just like 'Hot Iced Americano'... A landlord drowning in debt? He can just sell the building to pay off the debt.

-If he's struggling to make ends meet, he should just sell his building-_-

-Does the story end when the building is sold?

-Sell the building;;

-I can't believe that the word 'struggling' and 'landlord' can be used in the same sentence.

-I get what they're trying to say. I think it's just a poor wording choice...?ㅋㅋㅋ 'Struggling' + 'Landlord' combination is indeed weird.

-Maybe he's trying to sell the building, but it’s not selling, and only the debt keeps increasing.

-My grandmother was in a similar situation, so I understand what they're trying to say. The director needs to do a really good job with it.

-The building may not sell, and taxes keep piling up.

-It does happen. Sometimes people just can't sell their buildings no matter what and when that happens, they're left with loan.

-The premise alone is already unpleasant.

News video of 'Love Scout' PD committing aggravated assault 5 years ago

'Love Scout' PD was booked for assault, insult, and special assault 5 years ago, but he's still in charge of a Fri-Sat drama???
He poured Soju on pedestrians, got arrested, and even sexually harassed a female police officer. The more shocking part is the fact that he already had a criminal record.
I feel like vomiting... How can anyone watch a romance drama created by someone like this? Even if the actor is a handsome grandfather, I'm boycotting.

On the 1st, in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, a man holding a soju bottle sprayed it on pedestrians walking by. Although his companions tried to stop him and take the bottle away, but the man violently grabbed it back. The man who first threw the soju then threw the bottle and indiscriminately hit people's faces, and a big fight broke out as the pedestrians fought back.

Police investigations have confirmed that the man is A, a PD from SBS dramas. The police arrested Mr. A at the scene. Even after being taken to the police station, he continued to shout at the police officers and even made severe sexually explicit remarks towards a female officer in her 20s. The police have booked Mr. A on charges of aggravated assault and insult. Mr. A, in his mid-30s, was the main director of an SBS Monday-Tuesday drama until last year.

theqoo

-Even someone like this isn’t fired from their job and is living well...

-On top of that, he also sexually harassed a female officerㅋㅋㅋ

-How can he even think about making a rom-com drama after doing that? Whoa, insane.

-That industry is incredible.

-How can I watch a drama made by someone who had a criminal record, committed aggravated assault, and sexually harassed a female officer?

-Wow, even after all that, he’s still the main PD for a weekend drama. And on top of that, it's a romance drama.

-What a crazy person... He made severe sexually explicit remarks towards a female officer in her 20s. How can any woman watch that drama?

-Is there a company that doesn’t fire someone with a criminal record?

-People are free to watch this drama, but I hope they won't promote it. A romance drama director who sexually harassed a woman... Isn't that insane?

-If the director won't step down, I can just quit watching.

-I deleted this drama from my Netflix watchlist already.

-How can I watch a romance made by someone like this?;;

-Ugh...ㅜㅜ I was about to start because it was getting so much praise, but what is this?

-People keep watching the drama even when they already know about this. That is the reason why he's not fired and can keep working.

-Ah... I guess I have to quit watching the drama.
