Song Jihyo: "I call my mom by her name instead of 'mom' ... We've never gone grocery shopping together"

Song Jihyo opens up about her relationship with her mother.

When Yang Sechan asked, "When you go grocery shopping with your mom, do you hold her hand, link arms, or walk separately?" Song Jihyo laughed and replied, "I'm sorry. I don't think I've ever gone grocery shopping with my mom."

Song Jihyo then made a surprising confession, saying, "At some point, I started calling my parents by their names." Yang Sechan responded in disbelief, "That is totally disrespectful. That's trash behavior."

Song Jihyo explained, "I have a reason for it, but talking about it makes me want to cry. One day, my mom had an especially hard time. She was crying and looking for her own mother. Seeing that made me realize, 'She may be my mom, but she was also someone's daughter.' I had never thought about that before, since I had only ever seen her as my mother since I was born. I felt so sorry for her and decided that I should treat her more like a friend."

-I call my dad by his name tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I even casually call my grandmother by her name..

-I also call my mom like 'Jihyo-ssi' or 'Jihyo Song'... Like that.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I often call my parents by their names too. If her name is Jihyo, I'd be like, 'Jihyo~~!!'ㅋㅋ I do this to both my mom and my dadㅋㅋ Of course, I still call them 'Mom' and 'Dad' too.

-The only person who calls my mom 'Mom' is herself and her siblings...

-Mothers often forget their own names after becoming mothers... That's why a lot of daughters call them 'Mrs. OOO' or 'OOO-ssi'

-Same here... I intentionally call her 'Unnie' or just by her name so she feels younger.

-A lot of people call their parents by their names.

-I don't want my mom to lose her name, so I call her 'OOO-ssi' sometimesㅠㅠㅠ

-I call my mom "Princess OOO"

-I call my mom, aunt, and grandma all by their names.

-I should have called my mom by her name tooㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Now, even if I do, she probably wouldn’t even realize I’m talking to her.

-I should try it tooㅋㅋ

-I also jokingly call her 'OOO-ssi' sometimes.

-Who is he to judge someone else's family and call her disrespectful?

VERIVERY's Kangmin thought women grew mustaches

 

'Ah, Yoo Kangmin is so f*cking hilarious. He f*cking thought that women grow mustaches.'

Kangmin: What are you guys talking about?? 'We don't know. We've never shaved.' You guys never shaved? That can't be... Huh. Really? You don't grow a mustache or beard?

theqoo

-It's okay, Kangmin. I do.

-I mean... So what is it called? Upper lip hair? But isn't that just a mustache...?? It literally grows in the same spot as a mustache.

-I shave my upper lip hair with an eyebrow razor. It grows thinly, but it shows if I just leave itㅠㅠ

-Women do grow facial hair... It just doesn't grow that long.

-Of course, we do grow facial hair. It's just that ours don't grow like men's do.

-The way he covers his mouth in the endㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ His expression in the end is so cute.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's funny because it seems ike he really didn't knowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Women do grow facial hair...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Maybe his fans are still babies, that's why they still don't have facial hair?ㅠㅋㅋㅋ

-Ahㅋㅋ His reaction is so cute.

-Maybe his mom shaves?ㅋ

-What is this???? Is this some kind of concept? Or does he really not know???

-Hul... This is surprising. So there are women who actually grow facial hair?

-He's 23...?? Did he learn nothing in sex education? Or is it just some kind of concept?

-Why is the title so funny to me?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's just so absurdㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Jung Junwon and Go Younjung's kiss scene

 

theqoo

-Ah... It's a bit hard to watch.

-He looks like Jung Haein.

-The directing is so bad... Who kisses like that?? It's so awkward.

-It's a bit badㅋㅋ I'm not hating on the actor, I just think the directing is too old-fashioned.

-It's been a while since the last time I saw a kiss scene this unromantic.

-If you only look at this scene, it might come off awkward... But it was actually okay when you watch the drama.

-Putting everything else aside, I think they just don't look good together. Their vibes are too different. I don't understand what's so heart-fluttering about them.

-It's really obvious that they have a huge age gap...ㅜ

-I think that scene looks just fine. What's wrong with everyone

-It's so good... Their acting gives me butterflies.

-The directing itself gives off '90s vibes.

-I don't watch that drama, but I think that scene looks okay.

-I think they look cute.

-Goo Dowon is doing just fine... I'm watching this drama just for their romance..

-What's wrong with this scene?

'Don't joke with me. I just got off the plane...' <- NCT WISH unable to perform at SM TOWN Concert in L.A. due to visa issuesㅠ

 

'Don't joke with me. I just got off the plane...' 


NCT WISH will not be able to join the SM TOWN LIVE 2025 in L.A. stage due to visa issues.

To perform on this stage with fans, we diligently completed all required procedures, including document submission and interviews to obtain visa approval. However, due to unexpected delays, we were unable to obtain the visa.

Currently, it's difficult to determine the exact reason or cause for the delay in approval. Although we did our best to resolve the issue, we ultimately could not obtain the visas and the group will not be able to perform on stage.

We are deeply saddened and feel heavy-hearted thinking of the fans who have been waiting and looking forward to NCT WISH's stage. We did our best to get the visa approved until the very last moment. We sincerely apologize for not being able to keep our promise.

Most of all, we deeply apologize for disappointing the fans who took their precious time to come and wait for the performance.

We will work harder to show you a better side of us in the future so that your support and expectations are not in vain.

Thank you. 

'This is so heartbreaking.'

SION: It's going to be my first time visiting Mexico and L.A., I'm really excited. 

If they canceled the flight 5 days ago, they must've already known it wouldn't work. So why did they delay this announcement?

Starting with Taeyeon, it really feels like they think fans are fools. It's not even some nearby place, it's the U.S. We're talking about hundreds of dollars...

They should compensate for the flight tickets, accommodation, and ticket prices. 

theqoo

-I mean... They should at least give compensation for thisㅋ Do they think posting a single announcement is enough?

-Didn’t something like this happen before, too? Wasn’t it with Taeyeon?

-Why are they blaming this on a visa delay...?

-The U.S. is one to blame here. Visa issues are unavoidable, there's nothing you can do about it.

-Are they out of their minds? They should compensate the fans.

-Why do they always announce things so late?? Are they deliberately messing with the fans?

-So all the other artists got their visas approved except NCT WISH???

-Why didn’t they check earlier if they could enter the U.S. with the visa they got???

-This is just Trump’s fault. It’s just like a natural disaster.

-What did the fans do to deserve this, seriously?

-If they think there's gonna be an issue, they should've announced it in advance... At least let the fans know so they can make plan B.

-Among the idols who went to SM TOWN Concert, there are Japanese and Chinese nationals. They have f*cking diverse nationals there. So why did this problem only happen to NCT WISH?ㅠㅠ

-But both the idols and the companies must've suffered losses too because of this... Why is everyone blaming SM?

-It's not like the issue happened because they applied lateㅋㅋ U.S. visas these days are a total gamble.

-If the flight was canceled 5 days ago, then the company is definitely the one to blameㅠ

It looks so f*cking excitingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can see some empty seats on the 2nd floor, but overall, it's pretty well-filled.

-I heard it's raining there... I hope everyone enjoys the concert safely.

-I heard it rained heavily earlier, I guess it stopped now. Since they went all the way there, I hope both the artists and audience have a great time.

-That looks like a lot of fun.

-Why do they hold agency concerts abroad?? I don't think it's for promotion.

-Isn't this SM TOWN Concert? Of course, they should be able to fill the venue.

-The stage is so close.

-As long as the people who go there have fun, nothing else really mattersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... There are so many different kind of light sticksㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-People on Theqoo kept saying this concert flopped, but it's actually quite full, huh?

-Why are there so many people who wanted this concert to flop...? I hope everyone there has a great time!

-It's not empty at all.

Former idol Nam Taehyun cancels performance ... Turns out caught drunk driving while on probation for drug charges

 

https://n.news.naver.com/article/469/0000863590?sid=102

Nam Taehyun (31), former member of the group WINNER, is once again under police investigation after being caught drunk driving while on probation for previous drug charges.

According to police on the 8th, the Yongsan Police Station in Seoul booked Nam Taehyun on charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act on April 27. Nam Taehyun is accused of causing an accident around 4:10 AM near Dongjak Bridge on the Gangbyeonbuk-ro expressway heading towards Ilsan while driving under the influence. He reportedly hit the central divider while trying to overtake another vehicle. Fortunately, no one was injured. At the time of the incident, his blood alcohol concentration was at a level that would result in the cancellation of his driver's license (0.08% or higher).

January last year, Nam Taehyun was sentenced to one year in prison with a two-year suspended sentence for violating the Narcotics Control Act. He had been charged for using 0.5g of methamphetamine (Philopon), which he and Seo Minjae (32), allegedly purchased via Telegram and mixed with alcohol in 2022. At the time, police began investigating after Seo Minjae revealed on her social media that she had used drugs with Nam Taehyun. Even while under investigation for the drug charges in March 2023, Nam Taehyun received a summary fine of 6 M KRW for a separate drunk driving incident.

Considering that this new incident occurred during his probation period, the police applied for an arrest warrant on May 2. However, the court rejected the warrant on the 7th, stating, "There was no risk of evidence being destroyed." A police official stated, "After further investigation, we plan to refer Nam Taehyun to the prosecution without detention."

Nam Taehyun was scheduled to have his comeback performance at a music festival held at a small theater in Hongdae on May 6. However, following the incident, he abruptly canceled the performance on May 4. At the time, it was reported that he canceled the performance due to feeling pressured by the strong public criticism regarding his return. In March, he had posted on his social media, saying, "I spend each day reflecting and repenting sincerely. I want to repay those who waited for me not with more controversy, but with music that brings comfort." Currently, that post has been deleted. He is currently scheduled to release an album on May 9.

Before his sentencing in the drug use case in October 2023, Nam Taehyun also made headlines in October 2023 when he appeared as a witness at a National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee, where he spoke about his drug rehabilitation experience.

theqoo

-I don't think I've seen a single male idols who turn out to be normal after leaving their group.

-What the hell is wrong with him...?

-People… don’t change easily.

-I was rooting for him because it seemed like he was trying to live a better life through rehab... Oh God.

-Didn’t he say he wanted to live properly…?

-I thought he had come to his senses, but as expected...

-How far is he going to fall, seriously?

-I just hope to never see his face ever again.

-I'm not even surprised.

-I want to slap myself for recently saying that he had come to his senses and was becoming a better person.

-Oh Gosh... Does he still have fans?

-Seems like drunk driving is a habit to him. He got caught in 2023 and again last month.

-Again?

-He’s really just living recklessly.

-He’s already hit rock bottom as a human being.
