Actor Lee Sangyeob showed off his affection for his wife and even mentioned plans for having children.

On the 11th, a video titled "Even after a long time, we're still the same, aren't we?" was posted on the Youtube channel 'Jeeseokjin World.' That day, Ji Sukjin, Lee Sangyeob, Jeon Somin, and Lee Mijoo traveled to Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, while chatting about various topics.

Ji Sukjin said, "Didn't you say you fell in love at first sight?" bringing up Lee Sangyeob's love story. Hearing this, Lee Mijoo and Jeon Somin exclaimed, "Isn't she incredibly gorgeous?" and "She's truly beautiful," expressing their admiration.

The conversation naturally led to plans for children. When Ji Sukjin said, "If you have a baby, it'll be very cute," Lee Mijoo asked, "Do you prefer a daughter or a son?" to which Lee Sangyeob replied, "I like daughters," showing his excitement about becoming a girl's dad.

Lee Sangyeob also shared his newlywed story. He prepared flowers for Married Couples' Day, but the delivery was delayed, creating a slightly sulky mood. He shared a cute story about how the mood brightened once the flowers finally arrived, causing laughter.

He added, "I thought I had to meet her, whether it worked out or not," sharing the process from their first meeting to marriage.

Meanwhile, Lee Sangyeob married a younger non-celebrity woman working in the finance industry in March 2024 after about nine months of dating. Even after marriage, he has consistently shown his affection for his wife, maintaining his image as a devoted lover.

This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.

On 'My Little Old Boy,' Kim Heechul decided to get back behind the wheel after avoiding driving for about 20 yars following a serious car accident.

On the episode of SBS' 'My Little Old Boy' that aired on the 12th, Tak Jaehoon and Heo Kyunghwan stepped in as one-day driving instructors for Kim Heechul, who has a long-unused driver's license.

Leaving behind his past as someone with unused license, Kim Heechul began taking driving lessons again. The reason he chose to learn to drive again after 20 years was none other than his 'future child.'

Kim Heechul said, "My future baby. I'm going to name them Rua," and explained that he wants to personally pick up his child in the future. To help him overcome his long break from driving, Tak Jaehoon and Heo Kyunghwan took on the role of reliable supporters and stepped in as one-day instructors.

Once Kim Heechul got into the car for his lesson, he looked visibly nervous. He buckled his seatbelt and started the engine, but he couldn't hide his panic upon seeing the modern dial-type gear system. Expecting the old-fashioned gear stick, he joked, "Back in my day, it was like this," drawing laughter as he expressed his shock at how much car technology has changed.

Previously, in 2006, Kim Heechul suffered a major car accident while returning home after attending the funeral of fellow member Donghae's father. At the time, he underwent major surgery to insert seven metal pins due to fractures in his thigh and ankle. As a result of the accident, he was classified with a Grade 4 physical disability.

The drama 'Perfect Crown,' starring IU and Byun Wooseok, has drawn strong attention after gaining impressive ratings from its very first episode.

The MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which premiered on the 10th, recorded viewer ratings of 8.2% in the Seoul Metropolitan Area and 7.8% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea. It ranked No. 1 among Friday-Saturday dramas and No. 1 among all Friday programs in the metropolitan household category, marking a strong start.

This is No. 3 highest premiere rating in MBC Friday-Saturday drama history, following 'Chief Detective 1958' (10.1%) in the 1st place and 'Knight Flower' (7.9%) in 2nd. In particular, it fell just 0.1% short of 'Knight Flower.'

What makes this result even more remarkable is that its previour drama, 'In Your Brilliant Season,' suffered from significantly poor performance, peaking at only 4.4% in ratings.

IU has already proven herself as 'Ratings Goddess' through dramas like 'Dream High,' 'You're the Best, Lee Soonshin,' and 'The Producers.' MEanwhile, Byun Wooseok generated massive buzz with 'Lovely Runner.' Therefore, the combination of the two received a lot of attention even before the drama aired.

As a result, with the very first episode already surpassing the previous drama's performance, there is growing interest in what kind of records this drama will set in the future.

Interestingly, the drama that holds the all-time highest ratings among MBC Friday-Saturday dramas is 'Knight Flower' (18.4%), ranked 2nd in premiere ratings. Meanwhile, the second highest ratings is 'The Red Sleeve' (17.4%), didn't even make it to the top ranks for its premiere episode.

On the other hand, 'Chief Detective 1958,' which holds the highest premiere rating, didn't see significant growth afterward and peaked at 10.8%, ending up at No. 7.

Therefore, attention is now focused on whether 'Perfect Crown' will follow in the footsteps of 'Knight Flower' or take the path of 'Chief Detective 1958.'

I was about to quit my job as a manager to start something else. After the schedule, we had a coffee at a cafe and he told me, "Hyung, I hope you do well. Let's meet again when we've both succeeded.' He was such a kind actor. I'm really happy to see him succeed now."

The person continued, "Wooseok-ah, even though I failed and probably can't keep the promise to meet again after succeeding, I'm so glad you made it. I will keep rooting for you to become an even more successful actor in South Korea! Fighting!"

Another person who claimed to be Byun Wooseok's junior from the military also shared a story. The commenter, identified himself as Byun Wooseok's junior from the 37th Division Headquarters, recalled, "At the time, I was a private first class and he was a sergeant. On the day he was discharged, I was going through a difficult time in the second-floor shower room, and even though we were in different platoons, he said something to me that I still remember."

He added, "He told me, 'Don't overthink things right now. I know how hard you're working, so things will get better soon. Hang in there, I'm heading out.' Those words were a huge source of strength throughout my military service. I was truly grateful then. I hope he becomes even happier. Salute."

As these stories flood in, netizens are reacting with comments like, "He must've really lived a good life," "He seems like a genuinely good person," and "There's a reason he succeeded. As expected, things will turn out good for people who are kind."

Meanwhile, Byun Wooseok will meet viewers through the new MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which premieres on the 10th.

CBX parts way with their agency again ... Notify contract termination to INB100 after SM Ent.

SOURCE: 첸백시, 또 소속사와 결별…SM 이어 INB100도 계약 해지 통보

EXO's sub-unit, CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin) has notifies their agency, INB100, of the termination of their exclusive contracts.

According to a report by The Fact on the 10th, CBX sent a notice of contract termination to INB100's CEO Cha Gawon at the end of March. The group requested payment of unpaid earnings and an explanation regarding the alleged contract violations, but stated that they have not received a satisfactory answer even after two weeks. In response, CEO Cha Gawon's side stated, "We will resolve the issue of unpaid earnings, even if it means we have to receive additional investment or use personal funds."

INB100 is a label established by Baekhyun as he prepared to become independent from SM Entertainment. In May 2024, it became a subsidiary label under One Hundred, led by CEO Cha Gawon.

Prior to CBX's departure, a broader wave of artists have left One Hundred. Starting with Taemin, followed by nine members of THE BOYZ (excluding New), VIVIZ, Lee Mujin, BE'O, and Lee Seunggi, multiple artists have successively notified the company of contract terminations, citing reasons such as unpaid earnings, lack of support for entertainment activities, and unpaid payments to external vendors.

This also marks the second agency dispute for CBX. Previously in 2023, they were in a conflict with SM Entertainment over the failure to provide settlement data and unfair contract terms. Afterward, Baekhyun established INB100 and pursued independent activities. However, after mostly losing in legal battles and now facing another dispute with INB100, they are assumed to have suffered both financial losses and damage to their image.

A full-group comeback for EXO remains uncertain. While CBX expressed their desire to participate in EXO's activities in last October, SM Entertainment stated, "The agreement to end the dispute and group activities are separate matters," drawing a clear line.
