Actress Moon Geunyoung shared her honest feelings as she looked back on winning the Daesang at a young age.

On the episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on the 22nd, the 'Nation's Little Sister' Moon Geunyoung appeared as a guest.

On this day, Moon Geunyoung first talked about her grandmother, who had been with her during her early career. She said, "In my early debut days, my grandmother acted as my manager and emotional support," and added, "However, as she got close to 70, it became harder for her to keep up with my schedule. Eventually, it was no longer possible for her to accompany me."

When Yoo Jaesuk mentioned, "Didn't you win the Daesang at the age of 21?" Moon Geunyoung confessed, "Looking back now, I don't think I was able to fully enjoy that moment." She continued, "At the time, I kept thinking, 'Do I really deserve this? I don't think this award suits me.' It's a shame I couldn't have been more confident and enjoyed it."

In fact, she said in her acceptance speech back then, "More than grateful, I actually feel more apologetic." Regarding this, she expressed, "If there's something I could say to my younger self, I'd want to say, 'It's okay to be a bit immature. It's okay to make as many mistakes as you want."

She added, "There was an incident that made me realize that I needed to experience making mistakes when I was young. I made a very small mistake, but I suddenly burst into tears," and explained, "I wondered why I was crying. It was because I wasn't used to making mistakes. Even after turning 30, I hadn't learned how to cope with mistakes. I wish I had more mistakes, faced challenges, and tried more things when I was younger."

Meanwhile, when Yoo Jaesuk asked, "If you were to be asked, 'How are you these days? You're really popular. How does it feel?' How would yo respond?" Moon Geunyoung replied, "Yes, you're right. I'm doing great these days. I'm the 'Nation's Little Sister' from 'My Little Bride,'" drawing laughter.

Brian exposes Kim Heechul's past attitude: "He ignored greetings from seniors, I really disliked him"

SOURCE: 브라이언, 김희철 인성 폭로 "선배가 인사해도 쌩 지나가, XX 싫어했다"

Singer Brian revealed a story about Kim Heechul during his trainee days.

On the 21st, a video titled "'We came to see your house' Brian clutches the back of his neck as Super Junior's invasion (Unreleased SM debut group stories, the founder of SM etiquette training)' was posted on the Youtube channel 'The Brian.'

Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Donghae visited Brian's 300-pyeong home. The three had previously been under SM Entertainment together.

Brian asked Eunhyuk, "Didn't you have a unique group name before Super Junior?" Eunhyuk replied, "'Smile,'" referring to the name of the group Donghae almost debuted in. Brian then said, "I remember 'Dream Team,'" and Eunhyuk recalled, "'Dream Team' was actually the original early name for DBSK."

Brian confessed, "The reason I remember that is because I hated Heechul so much during the 'Dream Team' trainee days." He continued, "I like him now, but back then I didn't know he had bad eyesight. One day in Cheongdam-dong, I recognized him first. I had seen him at SM, but he didn't greet me. I greeted him first, but he just said, 'Ah, yes,' and walked right past me. How would you feel if a junior did that to you?" revealing Heechul's past attitude. Eunhyuk responded, "If we're talking about Heechul Hyung back then, it might not have been because of his bad eyesight," causing everyone to laugh.

Brian added, "So I went back to the dorm and told Hwanhee. He said, 'Rookies don't greet seniors?' and I said, 'Exactly. I thought that was weird too.' Just then, a manager walked in, so I told him 'The 'Dream Team' kids don't greet us.'" Eunhyuk responded, "At some point during our trainee days, SM started etiquette classes. Maybe they started it because you spoke up, Hyung," leading to more laughter.

Nana shares feelings after facing robber in court: "I couldn't control my emotions, but I don't regret it"

Nana, a singer and actress formerly of the group After School, shared her feelings after appearing as a witness in a robbery case trial.

On the 21st, Nana shared via the fan communication platform Bubble, "Seeing him face-to-face made me feel so absurd and angry that I failed to control my emotions." She added, "I said everything I hadn't been able to say anywhere before," and "I don't regret my actions or words."

Seeing him face-to-face made me feel so absurd and angry that I failed to control my emotions.
But I said everything I hadn't been able to say anywhere before and it felt relieving.
I said everything I wanted to say to that man as well.
I don't regret my actions or words.
I know you all must have been worried.
I believe this will come to an end now!

She also reassured her fans, saying, "I'm sorry to the fans who were worried. I'm okay and I believe this will come to an end now."

Earlier that day, Nana appeared as a witness at the Namyangju branch of the Uijeongbu District Court in the trial of Mr. A, a man in his 30s who was charged with robbery and causing injury. Arriving at court with her face hidden behind a hat and mask, she told the reporters, "I took a medicine before coming here. I'm very nervous," and added, "I plan to speak honestly and truthfully as it is."

However, Nana reportedly showed an emotional reaction upon facing the defendant in court. According to reports, she said, "Is this fun for you? Look at me straight in the eyes," leading the judge to ask her to remain composed, noting that the trial could not proceed smoothly in such a heated state. Afterward, Nana composed herself and testified about the incident.

She explained, "At the time, I acted instinctively in self-defense and he begged for his life, saying he was sorry. I thought it was important to calm the situation down first, so I asked my mother to call the police."

I hope he pays the price for all the malicious and criminal acts he has committed until now.

You reap what you sow.
'You face the consequences of your own actions'

After the trial, Nana also posted on her Instagram story the phrase 'You reap what you sow,' adding its meaning, "You face the consequences of your own actions," seemingly targeted at the suspect who denies the crime.

Meanwhile, Mr. A was brought to trial on charges of breaking into Nana's home in Acheon-dong, Guri, Gyeonggi Province last November, threatening her and her mother with a weapon, and attempting to steal valuables. It was reported that Nana and her mother subdued him after a physical struggle before reporting him to the police.

Since then, Mr. A has admitted to the trespassing but claimed he had no intention to rob them. He even filed a lawsuit against Nana, claiming he sustained injuries. The police determined Nana's actions were self-defense and decided not to forward the case. In response, Nana sued Mr. A for false accusation.

Cha Gawon's side to take legal action against THE BOYZ's side, who left the agency: "High-value settlements are already completed"

One Hundred Label, led by CEO Cha Gawon, released a statement saying that they want THE BOYZ to return to the agency and resume full-group activities. They denied any embezzlement and said they would refute the malicious instigation by THE BOYZ's legal representatives.

On the 19th of last month, all members of THE BOYZ, except New, declared the termination of their exclusive contracts. Through their legal representatives, they stated, "We notified the agency of the contract termination on February 10, 2026, due to serious breaches of the contract done by One Hundred Label and the irreparable breakdown of trust. Accordingly, the contract has been legally terminated and is no longer valid." They also raised issues such as unpaid settlements, refusal to provide access to settlement records, and the receipts of advance payments worth of hundreds of billions KRW.

In response, on the 21st, One Hundred Label stated, "We can no longer overlook the distortion of facts and malicious public opinion manipulation by the artists' legal representatives, and thus we are releasing a detailed rebuttal." They claimed that the allegations of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (Embezzlement) claimed by THE BOYZ's side are false and declared they would take legal action, including filing charges of false accusation.

However, One Hundred Label argued that the legal dispute was initiated by the intentions of the artists' legal representatives, not the artists themselves. They stated that they have already paid the large sums of down payments and settlements, saying, "We support THE BOYZ's full-group activities," and demanded the members to return.

'Boyfriend on Demand' reps: "Removing Jisoo's brother from the credits? An unrelated matter. Production company made a mistake in early March"

SOURCE: [뮤즈이슈] 월간남친 측 “‘지수 친오빠 크레딧’ 삭제? 별개의 일 …3월 초 제작사 실수” (공식)

The Netflix series 'Boyfriend on Demand' has stated that the appearance of BLACKPINK Jisoo's older brother's name in the ending credits is unrelated to the controversies surrounding him.

On the 21st, a representative from the 'Boyfriend on Demand' production company told Herald Muse, "Shortly after the release in early March, we confirmed there was an error in the actor management credits due to a mistake by the production team," and added, "We immediately corrected it."

Currently, the ending credits list only Jisoo's one-person agency, BLISSOO, under her management team. However, before the correction, other personnel were listed alongside the agency BLISSOO, including the name of her older brother.

The controversy began when it was revealed that a man in his 30s was accused of sexually harassing a female BJ and later was identified as 'the older brother of a famous girl group member.' Additionally, a post allegedly written by his wife claimed 'continuous physical and verbal abuse since registering their marriage' went viral, during which BLACKPINK's Jisoo was mentioned as the related family member.

In response, Jisoo's side stated on the 20th, "The current issues are completely unrelated to the artist and BLISSOO, and much of the information circulating online consists of unverified speculation or clear falsehoods," drawing a clear line.

They also explained, "The artist (Jisoo) became independent early as she started her trainee life at a young age and has lived apart from her family for a long time, making it impossible for her to be aware of or involved in that individual's private life."

However, Jisoo's legal representatives have not released a separate statement regarding additional inquiries about the ending credits.

Actor Ahn Jaehyun shed tears while having his fortune read. On the broadcast of tvN's 'Six Singles Under One Roof' that aired on the 17th, Jang Doyeon, Jang Geunsuk, Choi Daniel, and Ahn Jaehyun were shown visiting a shaman to have their fortunes read.

On this day, Ahn Jaehyun sat in front of the shaman looking very nervous. After checking his birth date and reading his fortune, the shaman sighed and said, "Oh dear, you are someone with a lot of history." The shaman added, "There is much to say about you. Your fortune suggests you are meant to be a shaman like us. You have a very strong energy suited to become a shaman, a ritual performer, or even a monk."

The shaman continued, "Your original fortune shows no wife and no children. There is no luck to be gained from parents or siblings. Ultimately, you're destined to live alone," which shocked everyone. The shaman added that Ahn Jaehyun is 'someone with a very strong ability to stand on his own,' describing him as having 'an independent nature and strong energy.' Another shaman also said, "Looking at it this way, he is someone who holds secrets of the heavens." The sight of Ahn Jaehyun shedding tears sparked curiosity among viewers. The reason behind his emotional reaction will be revealed in the next episode airing on the 24th at 8.35 PM (KST).

Ahn Jaehyun married actress Goo Hyesun in 2016 after a year of public dating following their work together in the 2015 KBS drama 'Blood,' but the two divorced in 2020 after three years of marriage.

Meanwhile, he also made headlines on the 14th after sharing stories about his ex-girlfriend on the Youtube channel 'alddal_cham.' At the time, Muzie revealed that Ahn Jaehyun had been dumped by women many times because he was 'too kind,' and Ahn Jaehyun admitted that he is the type of person who gives his all when he likes someone. When Heo Kyunghwan joked, "That kind of guy is the best, but it can get tiring," Ahn Jaehyun agreed, saying, "I think that's right," drawing laughter.
