Comedian Park Myungsoo admitted to his past mistake of hosting harshly towards SNSD's members during 'Infinite Challenge' and offered a belated apology.

On the 17th, Park Myungsoo met Hyoyeon, who appeared as a guest in a video titled 'What happens when people with the same MBTI meet' posted on his Youtube channel, 'Halmyungsoo.'

On this day, Park Myungsoo offered a belated apology to Hyoyeon, saying, "After SNSD appeared on the talkshow in their rookie day, our relationship grew quite distant," adding, "My hosting back then was a total mess." To this Hyoyeon playfully teased him, "We were indeed rookies back then, but you were also really bad at hosting, Oppa."

Park Myungsoo then explained, "I did that because it's not funny if the hosting is too smooth," and Hyoyeon responded warmly, "But isn't that your charm?"

In fact, during the talkshow segment on 'Infinite Challenge' that aired in 2009, Park Myungsoo recklessly called the SNSD's members 'hey' and yelled 'I'm the MC,' showing a chaotic hosting style. The atmosphere was so messy that Tiffany eventually said, "The hosting here isn't good."

After 17 years, Park Myungsoo asked Hyoyeon for another chance. He said, "If SNSD comes to Halmyungsoo as a full group, I will truly do it properly and make it fun this time," earnestly asking Hyoyeon to invite the members. Hyoyeon replied, "I will ask them," raising anticipation.

Meanwhile, Park Myungsoo's Youtube channel 'Halmyungsoo' has achieved 1.71 million subscribers as of 6 PM (KST) on the 17th.

SOURCE: [공식] '지예은♥' 바타, 환승연애 의혹 부인…"언급 가치 無, 결별 시기도 3년 전" (전문)

Dancer Vata's side, who is currently dating actress Ji Yeeun, has denied the allegations of rebound dating.

On the 15th, Vata's agency, ARA Entertainment, released an official statement, saying, "We have refrained from responding as it is not even worth addressing. However, as there have been cases where false posts were reported without filtering, we clearly state that these claims are groundless."

They continued, "Vata has never dated anyone for six years. His most recent relationship and breakup was three years ago. If the spread of such absurd false information continues, we will take strong legal action at the agency level."

Previously, Vata publicly confirmed his relationship with Ji Yeeun on the 13th. The two had been church friends before developing into a couple.

Afterward, posts made by an anonymous user on an online community since last July gained attention. The user claimed that Vata had been in a six-year relationship and raised 'rebound dating' allegations.

Meanwhile, Vata is the leader of the dance crew 'We Dem Boyz.' The crew gained recognition after finishing as runner-up on Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter' in 2022. Vata gained popularity for creating the choreography for Zico's 'New Thing' during a mission. Recently, he also gained attention for directing the choreography of BLACKPINK Jennie's hit song 'Like JENNIE.'

As actress Ji Yeeun and choreographer Vata officially confirmed their relationship, a post from an online community has recently resurfaced, sparking controversy.

On the 13th, Ji Yeeun and Vata's agencies, CP Entertainment and ARA Entertainment, officially confirmed their relationship, stating, "The two, who had been colleagues, recently developed mutual feelings and are now seeing each other." The two, both born in 1994, reportedly met through their church and eventually became a couple.

However, right after their relationship was confirmed, posts written by an anonymous user since last July became the center of the attention. The user had documented their flirting stage and relationship development in detail, starting about 10 months before the official announcement.

The user claimed, "Choreographer Vata has a crush on Ji Yeeun," and "They are both very religious. They're always together at church," even accurately predicting that the two would go beyond friendship and become lovers. The post also gained credibility by mentioning how Vata came to handle the choreography for 'Chungju Ji-Ssi,' a project group formed by Ji Yeeun and Ji Sukjin.

Doesn't that Vata guy have a girlfriend?
Then why does he like Ji Yeeun? What a ridiculous guy

October 2, 2025

That choreographer Vata likes Ji Yeeunㅋㅋ
They go to the same church. He likes her, but he can't confess because he's afraid of getting rejected

October 2, 2025

It looks like Ji Yeeun and Vata are in the flirting stage
Same-age friends going to the same church. They got close while she was learning choreography from him since summer. They're saying they're just friends, but they're actually in the flirting stage. They are aware of it. As expected, there's no such thing as 'just friends' between a man and a woman.

October 2, 2025

I heard dancer Vata had a long-term girlfriend, I feel bad for her
This guy doesn't seem to have intentions to get married. He's flirting with a celebrity. He likes Ji Yeeun. If I were her, I'd break up with him. But his girlfriend has no idea.

October 6, 2025

Vata and Ji Yeeun are dating
I knew it. Vata broke up with his girlfriend, and since they kept hanging out together, it's no surprise they caught feelings. Especially since they go to the same church... Is Ji Yeeun too goot for him?ㅠ

October 6, 2025

Vata breaks up with his girlfriend and immediately started seeing Ji Yeeun
I knew he'd break up with his girlfriend, since he didn't seem to have intentions of marrying her even though they dated for a long time. Vata confessed. He was clearly very interested in her. He likes her a lot. As expected, you catch feelings when you go to the same church.

The issue lies in the 'rebound dating' allegations included in the posts. In October, the user claimed, "Vata became interested in Ji Yeeun right after he broke up with his girlfriend of six years," and added, "I feel sorry for the ex-girlfriend he dated for a long time." Since some details mentioned by the user, such as their church connection and choreography work were proven to be true, netizens are now speculating whether the timeline of the breakup and new relationship might also be accurate.

While some reacted by saying, "The post is so detailed that it's disappointing," others maintained a cautious attitude, saying, "It's just a subjective post from an anonymous community. We should refrain from groundless criticism."

Meanwhile, Ji Yeeun has established herself as a rising star through 'SNL Korea' and 'Running Man,' and is set to appear in the new Netflix show 'Yoo Jaesuk Camp' this Masy. Vata, the leaser of the crew 'We Dem Boyz,' has been active as a top choreographer after finishing as runner-up on Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter,' creating choreography fors Zico's 'New Things,' and Jennie's performances.

Director of 'Sixth Sense,' Jung Chulmin PD, has been sent to trial on charges of sexual assault and denied all allegations during the first hearing.

On the 14th, the Seoul Western District Court held the first trial regarding sexual assault charges against Jung Chulmin PD. The trial was held privately due to the sensitivity of the matter, and the court requested reporters to leave, judging that it was inappropriate for detailed information to be disclosed externally.

It was reported that Jung PD's side admitted to some phyisical contact with the victim, but stated that 'there was no intention to harass.' Additionally, he had also requested a jury trial, but it was not accepted due to opposition from the victim's side, and the case will proceed as a standard trial.

Jung PD is accused of making unwanted physical contact with a victim, who had previously worked together with him on a program. The victim claims that on their way to a team dinner, Jung PD touched her shoulders, arms, and neck.

Previously, the police decided not to forward the case, stating there was insufficient evidence to prove his intention. However, after the victim filed an objection, the prosecutors re-examined the case, reversed the decision, and indicted Jung PD without detention in February.

Prosecutors believe the charges are valid based on CCTV analysis from the time, which showed the victim attempting to avoid the phyiscal contact.

Regarding this, Hwasa explained, "I was moving a steam humidifier and spilled the water, then I stepped on it," adding, "Luckily, it touched my foot and not the rest of my body."

Previously, Hwasa had mentioned on the web variety show 'Salon Drip' that she burned herself after stepping on a water from a steam humidifier that was over 100°C just one day before her concert.

At the time, Hwasa said, "The moment I stepped on it, it was so hot my mind went blank," and shared that she went to the hospital on the morning of the concert. She was diagnosed with second-degree burns, with blisters forming everywhere except her heel, but still went on stage wearing bandages and sneakers, which amazed everyone.
