On the 16th, Episode 2 of Jang Hyunseung's A/S Fansign was released on the Youtube channel 'MMTG.'

That day, Jang Hyunseung held an A/S Fansign. it was an event arranged for Jang Hyunseung to apologize to fans who had been hurt by his insincere attitude during his time as a member of the group BEAST.

The main stars of this event were not Jang Hyunseung, but the fans receiving the A/S. Fans walked down the red carpet and took their seats, sharing the stories of how they were hurt at past fan signing events. At the same time, they also confessed moments when they felt comforted by Jang Hyunseung and wished him happiness in the future, creating a touching atmosphere. Watching this, Jaejae commented, "The fans are all so kind. I feel a sense of unconditional love."

Specifically, a fan who works as a pâtissier shared a story about a strawberry cake. She said she often made strawberry cakes for Jang Hyunseung because he likes them. In September, which is the month of his birthday, she asked what kind of cake he wanted. Even though she told him strawberries were not in season, he insisted on a strawberry cake. Jaejae reacted in disbelief, saying, "It's not like you're a pregnant wife or something. Why did you demand strawberries no matter what?"

The fan eventually managed to get strawberries after much effort and gifted him the cake. She said, "He was really happy when he received it. But at the time, I asked him to write 'Look only at me forever,' and he just wrote the abbreviation for it, 'L.O.M.F.'" Everyone in the room was shocked, and Jang Hyunseung couldn't even lift his head in shame. The fan added, "I was very hurt, but I kept bringing cakes after that." Jaejae commented sympathetically, "She brought you the stars and the moon, and all she got was 'L.O.M.F.'? That is a truly heartbreaking story."

The fan jokingly asked, "Does he think strawberries are in season all year round?" drawing laughter from everyone. Jang Hyunseung, who remembered the fan, sighed and honestly confessed, "I was so thoughtless and took it for granted. Back then, I was doing so well that people around me made impossible things happen. I thought if I said, ‘Bring strawberries,’ they would just appear." He apologized and hugged the fan. Afterward, he fulfilled fans’ wishes and read the handwritten letters he prepared himself. Finally, he touched the fans' hearts by unfolding a banner with the fans' names on it.

You will definitely feel something there."

Yoo Seungho has been consistently volunteering for rescued cats for several years. Last year, he donated 2.5 tons of cat food.

On the 14th, Netflix released 'Single's Inferno: Reunion,' where the cast members reunited about six months after filming. They watched footage from the show together and talked honestly about how their relationships and lives have changed since then.

The VCR shown that day featured a scene where Choi Mina Sue told Sunghun about her concerns. At the same time, she talked about her conflict with Mingee, saying that she felt she was being made into a 'bad person' for no reason. Choi Mina Sue said, "I was really nice to the girls. I event lent them my bikini and always tried to help. I felt like the girls were keeping their distance just because the person I liked showed interest in me."

In the footage, Choi Mina Sue said, "I think Mingee doesn't like it when Seungil talks to me." Watching this, Kim Mingee looked surprised and clarified, "No. I was just staying still. I think I was just a bit tired."

In the footage, Choi Mina Sue said, "If other girls talk to that guy, I just leave them alone," and Kim Mingee responded directly, "Mina-ya, you can't control your facial expressions either." When Choi Mina Sue added, "I was really nice to the girls. I even lent my bikini," Kim Mingee reacted, "That's me. She's talking about me. If you're going to talk like that, you didn't have to lend it to me."

Throughout the video, Choi Mina Sue appeared uneasy. Embarrassed by her own words, she said, "Wow, why did you include this footage? Did I actually say that?" She eventually admitted, "I have nothing to say. I was wrong." In response, Kim Mingee said, "I'll say 'no comment.' I'll talk to Mina about this matter separately later."

At one point, Choi Mina Sue even asked for a brief pause, saying, "Can I take a short break?"

Later, in an interview with the production team, Choi Mina Sue reflected, "I think I was arrogant and not humble. I tend to be very honest and there have been times when that caused friction with others. I felt embarrassed thinking that someone might have been hurt because of my actions."

Kim Mingee also shared, "The moment I saw that, I felt like nothing good would come out of my mouth if I spoke. I thought it would be better to hear an explanation from Mina separately later."

'School violence' Jisoo made a comeback in the Philippines ... Former agency faces aftershocks 'ordered to pay 880 million KRW to 'River Where the Moon Rises'

Victory Content, the production company behind KBS' 'River Where the Moon Rises,' has partially won the second trial of damages lawsuit against KeyEast, the former agency of actor Jisoo, who stepped down from the drama due to school violence allegations. However, the amount to be paid decreased by about 500 million KRW compared to the first trial.

On the 13th, News1 reported that the Seoul High Court ruled, "KeyEast must pay 881.49 million KRW plus delayed interest to Victory Content."

The original compensation amount set in the first trial was around 1.42 billion KRW, but in the second trial it was reduced by about 540 million KRW.

The court did not explain the detailed reasons for this decision in the courtroom.

Jisoo, who had played the lead role of 'Ondal' in 'River Where the Moon Rises,' faced allegations of school violence in 2021 after posts and comments surfaced on online communities. The posts claimed Jisoo had committed bullying, assault, threats, verbal abuse, and other acts of school violence.

At that time, Jisoo apologized on social media, saying, "I sincerely apologize to those who suffered because of me," and stepped down from the drama. His exclusive contract with KeyEast was also terminated. Na Inwoo took his place and re-filmed episodes 1 to 6, which Jisoo had already filmed.

In April 2021, Victory Content filed a damages lawsuit seeking around 3 billion KRW. The production company stated, "Since the drama was pre-produced and was almost finished, we had no choice but to re-film everything because the actor had been replaced. This caused direct losses in staff costs, location and equipment fees, and actor fees. We are also suffering from lower ratings and complaints from overseas clients."

They also claimed, "We attempted to negotiate with KeyEast to recover damages, but since to the other side lacks of cooperation, we had to file a lawsuit.”

Meanwhile, in October 2023, Jisoo stated that he cleared up the misunderstanding with the person who initially raised the school violence allegations. He is currently continuing his acting career in the Philippines.
