Moon Sangmin shared the story behind the kiss scene in the movie 'Pavane.'

Recently, we met and talked with Moon Sangmin, who starred in Netflix's movie 'Pavane,' at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.

Pavane is a movie about three people who had closed off their hearts, but become a light for each other, as they face life and love. In the movie, Moon Sangmin plays as Gyeong-rok, a young man who gave up his dream of becoming a dancer to live a realistic life.

On this day, Moon Sangmin shared the story behind his kiss scene with Byun Yohan. The scene had already drawn attention during the pre-release. Regarding this, Moon Sangmin laughed and said, "The kiss scene with Yohan-ie hyung was not my idea."

He said, "Hyung came up with the idea. It was a way to clearly end the scene in that atmosphere. I wondered how it would've turned out if it hadn't been Yohan Sunbae," and added, "So, I was very grateful."

He also mentioned the kiss scene with Go Ahsung, who plays as his girlfriend in the movie. Moon Sangmin explained, "The kiss with Mijeong (Go Ahsung) was nice because it felt clumsy. It felt different from scenes I've seen in other dramas," and added, "I think it was a kiss that happened because Gyeong-rok's feelings rushed ahead."

He added, "It wasn't just about waiting for the act of a kiss, but about how he waited a long time for the moment he could meet Mijeong and connect with her emotionally. That's why I think it felt even more clumsy. It was a scene that came from genuine emotion."

Moon Sangmin added that during filming, he thought he did the kiss scene skillfully, but then admitted, "When I watched the movie, it looked much clumsier than I expected.

U-KISS' ex-member Shin Dongho responded to more allegations from his ex-wife, A, saying, "If you have something to say, file a lawsuit and speak through a lawyer."

On the 26th, Dongho wrote on his social media, saying, "I'm really sorry, but you were the one who first started posting on Instagram using our son's account. So why are you playing victim, trying to protect your family from me?"

He continued, "I think you're under a big misunderstanding. Who are you and I to be talking about giving interviews and revealing everything? We're just ordinary people. Even if I used to be a celebrity, no one is that curious about our family history, yet you're bringing it out into the public."

Dongho added, "Don't act like you're the victim, saying it's all for the sake of our son. If you have something to say, file a lawsuit and speak through a lawyer. Don't forget that you're the one who started this whole mess. I hope you come back to your senses, even though it may already be too late to turn back."

Previously, A had claimed on social media that Dongho's affair was the main reason for their divorce, that he badmouthed her in front of their child, and that he failed to pay child support properly.

In response, Dongho said, "Go ahead and make this public. Reporters, please share this." He then added, "People are not even that interested in me anymore. I'm just an ordinary person who quit the entertainment industry almost 10 years ago. Whether there would be articles or not, I couldn't even care less. Go ahead and do whatever yo want."

Later, A stated, "Since you say everything is a lie, let's go all the way until the end. In fact, please do sue me," adding, "I will even reveal the names of the members who engaged in prostitution with Dongho." Along with this, she also shared screenshots of message conversation with a contact saved as 'Dong-ble bee' making inappropriate remarks, and further claimed that Dongho had said he would make their son engage in prostitution.

Meanwhile, Dongho debuted with U-KISS in 2018. In 2013, he went on a hiatus from the entertainment industry and left the group. In 2015, he married a non-celebrity woman one year older than him. They had a son the following year, but then got divorced after about three years of marriage.

The ex-wife of U-KISS' ex-member Shin Dongho (32), has continued her series of allegations.

On the 26th, Dongho posted on his social media, "I have never cheated. Claims about visitation rights, child support, and abuse are all false," and added, "I plan to sue (A) for spreading false information and defamation."

In response, A posted a long message on Instagram the same day. She wrote, "Whoa, he says it's all false. He must have lost his mind. Fine, let's go all the way until the end. In fact, please do sue me. I will even release the names of members who engaged in prostitution with Dongho," making shocking claims.

She continued, "I never received child support. I will expose my son's face and give a proper statement to the reporters to talk about how (Dongho) hit him. I can and will reveal my bank account and my mother's bank account to prove that he didn't give me child support. I don't know what makes him so confident, but I'm already proceeding with a lawsuit and will show no mercy. I have recordings of phone calls with Dongho's mother. I will release the parts where his mother apologized to me for the abuse."

She also shared screenshots of messages showing profile picture of Dongho's face and a user named 'Dong-ble bee,' saying things like, "I just have to teach him to control bar girls with money," and "I should give him three condoms." A also claimed, "He said he would make our son engage in prostitution."

A further stated, "As for visitation, I let him see his son even though I wasn't receiving any money. My friends have long known that I let Shin Dongho see our son without getting a single penny and that he hasn't paid child support. Now I realized that a man can become so petty and evil like that, even when they've never helped financially."

She went on to criticize Dongho, "Stop pretending to be a good person. I endured everything you've done to me for 11 years and now I'm finally letting it all out. How long did you think I'd keep tolerating being treated like that? Don't be mistaken. I didn't endure it all because I liked you. I endured it because of your son, whom you are now trying to drag down along with you. You're not even a parent. You truly are a bad person. Aren't you ashamed of lying and pretending to be nice in front of everyone? Are you blind now that you make a living by exploiting bar women and selling alcohol?"

She added, "People say you have to hear both sides? It's publicly known that I raised my son alone and we got divorced because you cheated. Why are you trying to hurt the victim even more and even trying to drag your own son down with you? Are you really a father? This makes my blood boil. He can't be fixed. Don't shift the focus by spreading false information. Don't pretend otherwise and lie. I will reveal everything, including how he makes money now. I will reveal what he's been saying about people in the entertainment industry and what kind of family he comes from."

Meanwhile, Dongho left U-KISS in 2013 and married a non-celebrity woman one year older than him in 2015. The two had a son the following year, but got divorced in 2018. Since then, he has reportedly moved to Japan to live a second life as a DJ and businessman.

On the 23rd, Blackswan's Gabi attended the South Korea-Brazil state dinner hosted by President lee Jaemyung at the Youngbin Hall of the Blue House. The sight of her joining government officials and business leaders from both countries drew attention.

While greeting the guests, Brazilian President Lula showed special friendliness by kissing the back of Gabi's hand.

President Lula personally posted the video of him greeting Gabi on his Instagram. As of the morning of the 26th, the video had surpassed 1.2 million views. In addition, the video that President Lula posted using Blackswan's song 'Cat & Mouse' as the background music had also surpassed 5.6 million views, raising expectations of the song climbing up the music charts.

Blackswan's agency, DR Music, stated, "Both the artist and the company were surprised to receive a sudden invitation to such an unexpected event, but it would be a great honor if we can contribute to cultural exchange between South Korea and Brazil in the future. We are ready to attend whenever we are invited."

Gabi's spotlight moment was reportedly influenced by the fact that Brazil's first lady, Rosângela da Silva, is a big fan of K-pop. It is known that even before visiting South Korea, the First Lady had shown strong interest in K-pop artists. It is also said that she was very happy to learn that Blackswan's member Gabi is from Brazil. Before the President's official schedule began, she even shared a meal with Gabi in Gangnam, Seoul, on the 22nd.

The Brazilian First Lady also shared a video of her and Gabi eating Dubai Chewy Cookie on her personal Instagram account.

Blackswan is a global four-member K-pop girl group where all the members are foreigners. In 2024, they were appointed as the promotional ambassadors for the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan.

Gabi was selected through DR Music's global audition in 2022, beating the odds of 4000 to 1. Born in Santa Catarina, Brazil, in 2002, she is currently the only Brazilian member actively promoting in a K-pop girl group.

Jungkook after talking about drinking, smoking, and cussing in live broadcast: "I'll live my way from now on" ... Fans express worry, begging him to 'please stop'

Jungkook drew concern from fans after sharing his honest feelings with rough language.

In the early morning of the 26th, Jungkook went on what he described as a 'drinking live stream' on Weverse with an acquaintance to communicate with ARMY.

Jungkook brought up the topic of smoking first, saying, "Why can't I talk about this? I'm 30," adding, "I used to smoke a lot. But I really made an effort and quit." He also expressed his complicated feelings by saying, "The company is going to make a fuss the moment I talk about this. This isn't something I've discussed with the company. I'm just saying this because I feel frustrated."

During the broadcast, Jungkook also used profanity and behaved roughly. He jokingly raised his middle finger toward his acquaintance and cussed playfully, saying, "I couldn't even flip my middle finger in front of ARMY." When his acquaintance made a mistake, he said, "You bastard," and used direct expressions like "Don't piss me off" while venting his feelings.

Jungkook also expressed his feelings, saying, "I'm human. I just want to be happy. Although that might not be possible," adding, "How many people in this world can really be honest? I wanted to be honest with ARMY. If it wasn't for the company, I'd want to tell you everything." He continued, "If I were someone who makes music alone, I think I would've just said it without caring."

Although he continued the broadcast freely, he occasionally showed that he was worried about his agency. He said, "This might become controversial. But this is who I am, what can I do?" adding, "Tomorrow, the members and the company will probably talk to me." He continued, "Will the company scold me a lot?" He also responded to fans who were worried about him and asked him to end the live stream, saying, "I wish you wouldn't tell me what to do."

After the live stream ended, he posted a selfie on Weverse, saying, "The album is really coming soon. Please wait just a little longer. When we come back, I will work really hard. I love you." He also left a comment saying, "I will life my life my way from now on, so please support me." When a fan told him to not regret the live stream, he responded, "Why would I regret that? I miss you!"

However, fans' reaction were strongly divided. Some fans expressed concern, saying, "Why do this right before the comeback?" "I'm worried this might negatively affect the other members," and "I'm worried that someday he will regret creating controversy like this." While other cautiously added, "Do whatever you want to do," and "Still, I hope he keeps a little bit of his 'idol' image."

On other hand, some fans showed support, saying, "Imagine how frustrating it must've been for him to act like that," "What's wrong with an adult smoking?" and "I support every side of Jungkook." Some also expressed affection, saying, "It hurts my heart to see him so frustrated," and "He loves his fans so much, I just hope he receives nothing but love."

Former U-KISS member Dongho and his ex-wife A have revealed their ongoing conflict by attacking each other on social media.

On the 25th, Dongho's ex-wife, A, posted a long message on her social media, criticizing him in public. She claimed that Dongho spoke badly about her in front of their child and lied about what happened in the past.

A also claimed that Dongho's affair during their marriage was the main reason for their divorce. She added that he failed to pay child support and instead bought luxury gifts for another woman. Along with her post, she attached what appeared to be screenshots of social media posts to support her allegations.

A expressed her anger, stating that there had been issues during their marriage in the past as well. She also claimed that she never received child support or alimony. She also mentioned the possibility of legal action, saying, "Sue me if you want."

In response, Dongho shared his own statement on social media. He took a firm stance, saying, "Get a grip and live properly. If you want to fight until the end, let's do it."

He continued, "I'm no longer afraid of this becoming public. I'm just an ordinary person who has been out of the entertainment industry for almost 10 years," and told her, "Do whatever you want." However, he did not directly address the specific allegations made by A.

As both sides strongly disagree with each other, the public is now watching to see if this will escalate to further legal battles.

Meanwhile, Dongho left U-KISS in 2013 and announced temporary hiatus from the entertainment industry. In 2015, at the age of 21, he married a non-celebrity woman who is one year older than him. The two had a son in 2016, but then divorced three years later.
