On 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' actor Yoon Shiyoon revealed that his mother is the reason he hasn't gotten married yet.

On the episode of KBS2's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' that aired on the 15th, Kim Jaejoong invited his close friends Choi Jinhyuk, Yoon Shiyoon, and Yoo Seonho to his house, where they ended up talking about marriage.

That day, Kim Jaejoong, Yoon Shiyoon, and Choi Jinhyuk attracted attention for all being born in 1986. However, since Yoon Shiyoon was born in September, he naturally addressed Kim Jaejoong and Choi Jinhyuk as 'Hyung.' Even when Kim Jaejoong said, "You can speak casually to us," Yoon Shiyoon firmly replied, "In social life, it's more beneficial to be the younger one," causing everyone to burst into laughter.

The conversation naturally shifted to marriage. Choi Jinhyuk confessed, "My mom doesn't pressure me to get married, but she nags me about everything else," before adding, "I think she dislikes it when I have a girlfriend. It feels like she actually doesn't want me to get married."

Kim Jaejoong commented, "If you live with your mom, you can't date, and if you don't date, you can't get married. Moms are like bunkers." Choi Jinhyuk strongly agreed, "It's really hard to date."

Choi Jinhyuk also revealed, "Whenever I'm talking to someone on the phone, my mom listens to the entire conversation," and added, "The next day, I heard her repeating exactly what I talked with my friend while she was on the phone with her own friend."

Yoon Shiyoon, who had previously stated that he has no plans to marry within the next four years, also agreed, saying, "My mom tells me to get married, but deep down I think she hates the idea too." He especially surprised everyone by sharing a story from a past date with an ex-girlfriend.

Yoon Shiyoon explained, "A long time ago, I was riding in my mom's car to go on a date with my girlfriend. I asked her to drop me off in the station, but she just drove right past the station."

He continued, "When I said, 'Mom, I told you to drop me off,' she suddenly shouted, 'I don't know!' while gripping the steering wheel and crying uncontrollably," making everyone burst into laughter.

After hearing the story, Kim Jaejoong asked, "So, you're basically saying that you're not getting married because of your mother?" and Yoon Shiyoon jokingly but honestly replied, "Honestly, yes. My mother is the reason I can't get married."

Choi Jinhyuk also agreed, saying, "That's honestly a huge reason for me too." Since both Yoon Shiyoon and Choi Jinhyuk are only sons, Yoon Shiyoon analyzed, "It's because mothers see their sons as the only person they can rely on," drawing even more laughter.

Wedding photos of APINK's Yoon Bomi and producer Rado has been revealed for the first time.

On the evening of the 15th, a photographer shared a wedding pictorial of the soon-to-be-married couple, Rado and Yoon Bomi.

In the released photos, the couple showed a variety of concepts, ranging from black-and-white themes to natural snapshot-style scenes. In particular, Yoon Bomi radiated an elegant and pure charm in a wedding dress with standout details, while Rado added a chic atmosphere with a classic suit look.

In another photo, Yoon Bomi created a dreamy mood as she looked into the camera while wearing a veil, while Rado showed his natural charm with a bright smile.

Given that music is something they share in common, the couple also expressed their unique personalities through a recording studio concept. Their playful snapshot photos also created a warm atmosphere, showing the delightful chemistry of a couple who have been together for nine years.

The photographer, who is also in charge of the couple's wedding ceremony today (16th), said, "It was such a pleasure to be part of this wedding shoot for two individuals with full of personality. I will also do my best to beautifully capture the wedding."

Meanwhile, Yoon Bomi and Rado will hold their wedding ceremony today at Grand Hyatt Seoul in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Yoon Bomi, born in 1993, and Rado, born in 1984, overcame their nine-year age gap and are getting married after dating for around nine years.

APINK, STAYC, and UNCHILD will perform the congratulatory songs at the wedding, while comedian Kim Kiri, who is close to both Yoon Bomi and Rado, will host the ceremony.

Yoon Bomi debuted in 2011 with APINK. She reportedly formed a connection with Rado while promoting APINK's 'Only One.'

Singer Soyou suffered a fall from an escalator during a rehearsal for her music video filming.

On the 11th, a video titled 'Going to the ER while filming an MV' was posted on Soyou's Youtube channel, 'Soyougi.' The video showed the process of Soyou experiencing an unexpected accident on the set of her new music video and then continuing with filming afterward. During rehearsals on a subway station escalator, Soyou suddenly lost her balance and tumbled downward. The staff immediately stopped filming and arranged for her to be taken to the hospital.

Right after the accident, the production team held an emergency meeting and discussed moving to the next location while excluding the subway scene. However, filming resumed two hours later when Soyou returned to the set. Soyou explained, "It was just bruising," and added, "I don't even remember screaming in that moment. When I got to the ER, my blood pressure was very low. I was so shocked that I can't remember." She confessed that even while in pain, she kept thinking, "I have to film the subway scene. I should figure out a way."

She also mentioned that she was unable to complete the detailed examinations at the hospital. Soyou said, "I was supposed to wait for the CT scan results, but I just said, 'No, I'm leaving,' and left." When the staff expressed concern about the remaining filming schedule, she replied, "Right now, I'm just chanting to myself, 'It doesn't hurt.'" She later completed the remaining shoots, including the office-concept scenes and rooftop filming.

After wrapping up the filming, Soyou commented, "Today's filming was really rough from the start. There were a lot of new attempts that I was unfamiliar with, but I think we finished it all." Soyou, who recently drew attention after revealing that she lost weight from 68kg to 48kg while preparing her comeback, returned to the music scene on April 29 with her third EP, 'Off Hours.'

Cha Hakyeon drops a surprise spoiler for VIXX's 14th anniversary ... "I recently met up with the members"

Cha Hakyeon, a member of VIXX and an actor, revealed that the group will be reuniting for their 14th anniversary.

On the morning of the 11th, an interview with Cha Hakyeon for 'Absolute Value of Romance' was held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.

'Absolute Value of Romance' is a high-teen comedy series about a high school girl who writes romance novels starring flower-boy teachers, only to unexpectedly encounter similar situations in real life and become the main character of a chaotic school life. The series is released every Friday at 8 PM (KST). In the drama, Cha Hakyeon plays the role of Ga U-su, the new math teacher at Murim Girls' High School who is a Mensa member with an IQ of 156 and possesses 'straight-out-of-manga' visuals.

This February, Cha Hakyeon also held a full-group fan meeting as a member of VIXX. When asked if the schedule overlapped with filming for the drama, he said, "It did overlap a bit toward the end of filming. I worked really hard on maintaining my stamina. Since it was such a precious moment for me and because I like exercising, I worked out every single day."

He continued, "Since we were filming in Jeonju, we started at 4 AM. There wasn't much time to work out, but the four of us went around to visit every gym in Jeonju and managed to work out for an hour each time." He added, "I also tried to go to bed early, and I found myself naturally waking up at 4 AM every day. When that happened, I'd finish my work early, take a nap, and then prepare for the fan meeting."

How did the members react to 'Absolute Value of Romance'? Cha Hakyeon said, "A few days ago, Hyuk sent me a screenshot of me dressed in Phytagoras costume. He just wrote, 'As expected.' So I asked, 'Why? What?' but he didn't reply. He tends to just drop comments on embarassing scenes like that and run away." He added, "We gathered at Leo's house recently. They told me they enjoy the drama, which really gave me strength."

Since the filming took place in Jeonju, exploring local restaurants was a must. Cha Hakyeon explained, "Honestly, I ate a lot. I had the famous bean sprout soup with rice, tteokgalbi (NB: grilled short rib patties), and gaeseong juak (NB: deep-fried glutinous rice doughnut or cake). I ate a lot without hesitation. However, since my character wasn't supposed to gain weight, I compromised by doing cardio right after eating."

He continued, "U-su managed his weight very strictly. While I usually watch my diet and tend to eat regular meals for lunch, U-su would replace lunch with a salad. I gain weight easily, so I worked even harder to maintain my figure."

Celebrating his 14th debut anniversary this year, Cha Hakyeon said, "First of all, our 14th anniversary is coming up soon. The reason I recently met up with the members was to discuss what we should do for it. We're quietly planning things together. Also, if there's also an opportunity for a good project, I hope I'll be able to show everyone a great side of myself as an actor."

GFRIEND Yuju shares concerning health update: "Loss of appetite and even fainting ... I was advised to see a psychiatrist"

Yuju, formerly the main vocal of girl group GFRIEND, reveals a concerning health update in the middle of her solo promotions.

On the episode of KBS Joy's 'Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller' that will air on the 11th at 8 PM (KST), Yuju appears on the show to share her concerns.

On the show, Yuju confesses, "Whenever I start preparing for an album, I become extremely sensitive and lose my appetite. I'm worried if it's okay to keep going ike this." She admitted that at first, she casually thought that losing weight would make her look prettier on camera, but the symptoms gradually worsened and began affecting her daily life.

She then revealed that she once fainted while alone at home, and her condition worsened to the point that she could barely eat properly, eventually leading her to undergo an endoscopy. Although the examination showed no issues with her stomach or digestive system, the hospital suggested that psychological factors might be the cause and recommended psychiatric treatment.

Yuju shares her honest feelings, saying, "I'm happy because I'm doing what I love, but seeing my body develop problems made me wonder, 'Am I actually under stress?'"

After hearing her story, Lee Soogeun empathizes, saying, "Unlike promoting as part of a group with the members, the pressure of having to carry the stage alone must have been huge. It seems like having so many things to worry about caused your appetite to disappear."

Seo Janghoon also offers a realistic advice based on his own experiences as an athlete. He empathizes, "There were times I skipped meals because of stress. I ended up having no energy to perform properly. A professional must maintain good condition under any circumstances." He adds, "The voice you produce when you're healthy and well-fed is naturally different from when you're not," stressing the importance of health management.

Yuju also shares an incident where she experienced abnormal symptoms in her ears during a recording session and went to the hospital. She surprises everyone by revealing that the doctor told her, "You need to eat first before taking medicine." In response, Lee Soogeun offers heartfelt advice under a joke, saying, "You're an amateur. You can't become a professional like this. How can you comfort the public in this condition?"

Lastly, Seo Janghoon advises, "You need to think about what it truly means to do your best. A song sung while you're dizzy and on the verge of fainting won't be able to convey energy to the audience."

Meanwhile, this episode of 'Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller,' featuring various stories and advice, will air tonight on the 11th at 8 PM (KST) and will also be available on major online platforms like Youtube and Facebook after the broadcast.

But thinking about it now, it also felt like you were trying your best to show that you were kind and not aggressive."

Yura said, "I don't really remember our very first meeting," and Sojin responded, "You had strong energy. You showed a lot of confident actions."

Yura confessed, "When I first came up from Ulsan, I thought I was the prettiest. But after arriving in Seoul, I thought, 'I'm the ugliest one here. This is a disaster.' I was really shocked after appearing on 'Flower Bouquet,'" referring to the variety show for rookie girl groups during her early debut days.

Yura shared, "Do you remember when we filmed wearing wedding dresses? I was shocked when I first saw Suzy, and then I received a second shock when I saw Jiyeon. It wasn't just one or two people who shocked me," admitting that she felt intimidated by Suzy and Jiyeon's visuals at the time.

She added, "Right after filming, I felt so discouraged that I went into a booth alone and cried, thinking, 'As expected, it's the metropolitan area for some reasons.'"

Model and entertainer Hong Jinkyung has made a bold decision regarding her daughter Rael's college plans.

In this video, Hong Jinkyung discussed the future direction of the channel's content in the age of AI together with Nam Changhee and MC Gree.

During the conversation, the production team asked Hong Jinkyung, "Are you changing the direction because Rael lost interest in going to college?"

Hong Jinkyung honestly replied, "Right now, Rael doesn't really want to go to college, and I don't particularly want to send her either," drawing attention.

When the production team followed up by saying, "But when she was in 5th grade, didn't you say that you definitely wanted her to go to college?"

Hong Jinkyung said, "If there's something specific she wants to learn, of course she should go. But going to college just because everyone else is going? I think that's truly meaningless."

She continued, "I think it's better to start pursuing what you really want to do at an early age," emphasizing her belief that personal direction and goals are more important than a college degree.

She also joked, "That girl has no interest in studying anyway. Absolutely none," and added, "I noticed it when she was about 4 years old. I thought she might change as she grew up, but in that regard, she's been remarkably consistent," drawing laughter.

Regarding Hong Jinkyung's realistic views on education and her honest remarks, netizens reacted positively with comments like, "I think that mindset really fits today's era," "It's better than forcing your child to go to college," and "She's a mother who respect Rael's opinion," and more.

Following entertainer and webtoon artist Kian84 (real name Kim Heemin), an artwork by WINNER's member Song Mino has also appeared on a secondhand marketplace platform. The listing is drawing even more attention as the seller is reportedly the same person.

Recently, user A posted a listing on a secondhand marketplace platform to sell Song Mino's artwork 'The Giraffe Painting I Drew 1' for 4,751,111 KRW. The seller also provided detailed descriptions of the artwork's size and frame specifications, noting that it is 'a print piece in an acrylic frame.' No specific reason for the sale was disclosed.

The artwork is part of a series that Song Mino showcased during his first solo exhibition, 'Thanking You,' which ran from December 2022 to February 5, 2023.

Only parts of the giraffe's neck and torso is visible in the artwork. At the time, Song Mino explained the meaning behind it, saying, "It represents how immeasurable my ambitions, greed, and goals are. Since I have a profession where I receive a lot of love and try to give that love back, I used many heart symbols in it."

Previously, user A had also listed Kian84's artwork 'Starry Cheongdam' on the same site. The artwork was initially listed for 150 million KRW before adjusting it to 190 million KRW later. The post has since been deleted.

'Starry Cheongdam' is a parody of 'The Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh. It was first revealed at Kian84's first solo exhibition, 'Full Ownership,' in 2022. It was also introduced on the MBC's 'I Live Alone,' where he is a regular cast member.

This is not the first time Kian84's artwork has appeared as a high-priced secondhand listing. In 2024, another artwork titled 'Life Adjustment Time 4' was listed for 30 million KRW on a secondhand marketplace in the Gangnam area before the price was later adjusted to 21 million KRW.

Meanwhile, Song Mino was brought to trial on charges of neglicence of duty, including being absent without leave for a total of 102 days while serving as a public service worker at a facility in Mapo-gu, Seoul, from March 2023 to December 2024. The prosecution recently requested a prison sentence of one year and six months for him.

Actor Uhm Taegoo shared his thoughts on overcoming his introverted personality to portray an idol.

On the 7th, the film 'Wild Sing' held a press conference at 11 AM (KST) at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Seoul. Actors Kang Dongwon, Uhm Taegoo, Park Jihyun, Oh Jungse, and director Song Jaegon attended the event.

Uhm Taegoo said, "I don't think I'm that introverted. I don't know if it was a full 180-degree transformation, though. I just remember mentally preparing myself for the stage. On the day of filming, I went in with the mindset that if I wasn't cute, I'd die," and added, "I felt motivated watching Kang Dongwon Sunbaenim practice beside me."

When asked if he had any regrets making such a bold transformation as an introvert, he answered, "I really wanted to portray Goo Sanggu's character really well. While I have an introverted side, I also have extroverted side. Regardless, I wanted to express the character properly. The moments I regretted were when the acting didn't come out as well as I hoped, or when a scene wasn't as funny as it could've been. Thinking 'this could've been funnier' after the scene had already passed made me feel a bit down."

Regarding his rap preparation, Uhm Taegoo shared, "I practiced very hard at JYP Entertainment. I practiced in a private booth, so I didn't get to see any other idols."

He also noted, "I rehearsed on stage the day before the actual shoot. With the broadcast cameras were all there and being under the stage lights, it felt really fascinating and nerve-wracking. It was the first time the staff saw what I had practiced. Strangely enough, it was fun."

'Wild Sing' is a comedy film about Triangle, a three-member co-ed dance group that once dominated the music industry but disbanded overnight after getting involved in an unexpected incident. The film follows their reckless attempt to seize a chance for a comeback 20 years later. It is scheduled to be released on June 3rd.

At her father's suggestion, Sooyoung had been quietly doing related volunteer work and donations. One day, Yuri asked her, "Your father is doing such a meaningful work. Why didn't you tell us?"

Sooyoung shared, "Yuri made a donation, and the other members have been donating consistently as well," and added, "It feels like they're helping me carry even my family's burdens," showing the members' strong loyalty.

Yuri was reportedly the first member to step forward, saying, "Let's do anything we can do to help Sooyoung's dad's work." Sooyoung expressed her gratitude toward Yuri, saying, "It's really great to have someone who notices without me even having to say anything."
