Hyerim shared the story of how she met her husband, Shin Minchul.

"When Wonder Girls were really busy at the time, how did you manage to date?" Hyerim responded with a laugh, "There's always time for dating."

She reminisced, "My father is a Taekwondo master, and I met my husband by attending my dad's Taekwondo gatherings." MC Kang Eun-do asked, "You dated for seven years, but back then, it wasn't a public relationship, right? How did celebrities meet their partners?"

To this, Hyerim unexpectedly replied, "My husband isn't a celebrity. So when we were together, people thought he was my manager."

Hyerim mentioned, "People would come up to my husband and ask, 'Can I get Hyerim's autograph?' So we comfortably went around." Hearing this, the MCs exclaimed, "That's impressive."

Hyerim added, "If you hide while you're dating, you'll only arouse suspicion. If you confidently go out together, people will just think he's your manager."


-It's not that they don't know, they just pretend not to know ㅠㅠ

-Fans know what their manager looks like, they just pretend not to know

-I wonder if it was necessary to mention that

-Seriously, fans knew...I knew too... But it's cute how Hyerim thought that nobody knew...

-Don't fans also know what the stylist and other staff look like...?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠㅠ Oh my... If they're not fans, they might think he's the manager, but fans know everything ㅠㅠ

-She's so innocentㅎㅎ

-She's probably talking about muggles, not fans...

-Fans not only know the manager but also the faces of the staff they're with, and if the manager quits, they know where they went.

-There's no way fans wouldn't know..

-She was dating when Wonder Girls already passed the period of time when dating could be a problem

-Why would fans not know the manager's face...

-Excuse me, fans know the faces of the managers. They're just pretending not to know. Your experience isn't everything.

-Even if muggles don't know, fans know... ^ㅡㅠ

-That's very foolish of her... Celebrities really do live in a world inside their heads.

-Fans know the faces of the staff, security guards, and company staff tooㅋㅋ

-Non-fans might not know the manager's face, but fans know...... Even though I've never been to a fan meeting and only been to a few concerts, as a fan, I know the faces of my idol's manager and several company employees...... I even know the faces of the security team.

-That's cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are you sure they really didn't know? Our Lim-ie was happy anyway, so it's fine

Singer Chungha opened up about her feelings regarding being the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the entertainment industry.

On this day, Chungha mentioned that in 2020, news of her being the first celebrity to test positive for COVID-19 came out.

Chungha recalled, "At that time, it was a period when everyone was very afraid of COVID-19" and said, "I felt like a criminal."

She continued, "Because of that memory, I don't often go to crowded places. To me, it's a trauma that doesn't seem like a trauma."

-The beginning of the pandemic was indeed really terrifying. It wasn't the fear of being infected that was scary, but the fear of being socially crucified if caught tested positive for COVID-19. I really don't want to experience such a horrible situation againㅠㅠ

-It was understandable, especially since there was no vaccine in the beginning of the pandemic. One of my acquaintances tested positive in the beginning of the pandemic and was hospitalized for 50 days. At that time, there was nothing we can ddo.

-Even non-celebrities got cursed at when they got infected, I can't imagine how tougher it must've been for celebritiesㅠㅠㅠ

-In the beginning of the pandemic, your every move would be disclosed even if there were only one or two people reported positive in your region. At that time, I worked at a sports club and I had to report my movements after work every day. Looking back now, it seems absurd, but back then, I guess there was nothing else that we can do...

-Chungha stirred controversy for testing positive after attending a birthday party. The entire region was put under lockdown after that. I can't imagine how she must've felt. It felt like living under martial law with curfews. 

-It was indeed really terrifying at the beginning of the pandemic...

-I remember how crazy it was in the beginning... All of your whereabouts got exposed...

-Back then, your whereabouts would be exposed if you tested positive. It was to the point where people were treated like criminals for getting infected. Of course, everyone around the world was really sensitive about it. 

-At that time, vaccines weren't developed yet. There were deaths, schools had to be closed, and healthcare workers were struggling. It might sound like an overreaction now, but considering the circumstances back then, it was understandable. 

-I was more scared of transmitting the virus to someone else than being sick myself. 

-It was really terrifying, my friend's mother had to be hospitalized for a really long time.

-Please... This gives me secondhand embarrassment. What did his non-celebrity friend do wrong to deserve this?

-Please, just mind your own business...

-Is it because they were raised abroad...? Holding hands is not a big deal...

-What is going on...?

-The thoughts of them being childhood friends and she just wanted to post on her Instagram, and now people all over Twitter are claiming that she's Anton's girlfriend. It's so f*cking cheap and embarassingㅠㅠ She and Anton must've heard all sorts of nonsense in the past two daysㅋㅋㅋ

-Stop harassing non-celebrities...

-Judging from the way they hold hands, they must be so f*cking closeㅠㅠㅠ And now they're getting hate for thatㅠㅠ

-Wow, it's really scary...

-Is it really that serious to the point a non-celebrity has to write a clarification post?? What the hell...

-SM Ent. really should sue those who spread false information, especially since RIIZE is really popular right now...

-If she was really  his girlfriend, she probably wouldn't have posted it so openly.

-Just imagine how creepy it must've been for her that she felt she had to clarify and apologize...

-I don't care if she's really his girlfriend or not. Why are you guys harassing a non-celebrity in the first place?

-I feel bad that she has to go through all of this, but did she really have to post it and even put it on her Highlights??ㅋㅋㅋ Did she really not think that could cause misunderstandings?

-I hope Anton's friend will take legal actions with no mercy. There are a lot of people who crosses the line.

-I heard Anton is the member with the most Sasaengs in RIIZE? I can't imagine how stressful it must be for him. The group friends got matching necklaces and some sasaengs decide to make it seem like it's a couple necklaceㅋㅋㅋ Poor him

-SM Ent... Please take legal actions...

-The comments...ㅋㅋㅋ She might get a PTSD from this...

At that time, Wonder Girls were really busy, but when asked how she managed her love life, Hyerim responded with a laugh, "There's always time for love."

Hyerim reminisced, "My father was a taekwondo master, and I met my husband through his taekwondo gatherings."

She revealed her desire to share her faith with her husband by saying, "If there's one thing I'm dissatisfied with my husband, it's that he doesn't go to church with me. I want to share my faith with him."

Hyerim expressed her frustration, saying, "Normally, if you're in a relationship, wouldn't you go to church together if your girlfriend asks? But our husband is stubborn. He has taken me to church before, but he hasn't come with me."

To this, Jo Hyeryun exclaimed, "I want to meet Hyerim's husband." Jo Hyeryun expressed regret, saying, "I want to boast about Jesus to him too. When someone like him gets to know Jesus, their faith becomes very sincere."

Hyerim debuted with Wonder Girls in 2010 and married taekwondo athlete Shin Min-chul, who is six years older than her.

theqoo

-Wow... They got married even though they have different religions...

-Don't force your religion on others and live happily. God probably doesn't like those who force their religion on others anyway.

-Even if it's your spouse, don't force your religion on them...

-Isn't she the stubborn one for insisting him to go to church even when he doesn't want to?

-Guys, this is a Christian show discussing Christian topics. Why are you making a fuss?

-Are all Wonder Girls' members Christians?

-Oh Gosh... It must be very suffocating for him...

-Looks like she's the stubborn one...

-So all the Wonder Girls members are Christians? Judging from the fact that they all went to church together.

-Who's the stubborn one here?

-What does it matter if it's a religious channel, I have my own religion too, but I can talk about my faith without talking about forcing it onto others.

-They're a married couple, shouldn't they just respect each other? If someone keeps trying to convince you to go to church, wouldn't that be annoying?

-If you want to share your faith life together, then meet someone of the same religion.

-I know it's a Christian channel, but wouldn't it be better if she said, "My husband doesn't go to church, but he still takes me there every time", instead of that?

-When does Seventeen ever take a break?

-Even the early bird tickets sold out instantly, so ticketing will be even tougher...

It gained positive reactions for its amazing cast and acting skills. 

Many reviews say it's sad rather than scary for the first episode.

Now I understand why the actors cried during the reading session ㅠㅠ

I thought 'The Midnight Studio' would be horror, but it's so sad?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ  

I just watched 'The Midnight Studio' and it seems like every episode is going to make me cry... ( o̴̶̷̥᷅⌓o̴̶̷᷄ ) As expected, Song Hyunwook's fantasy directing quality is great and the script is also excellent ♡

Joowon Reveals, "40 People Burst into Tears During the Script-Reading for 'The Midnight Studio' ... Eum Moonsuk cried the most."

Joowon showcased his exceptional empathy as he stated, "While reading the script, I imagine the characters. There were scenes in 'The Midnight Studio' that made me cry." He added, "During the script-reading, there were about 40 staff present. There was a scene that moved everyone to suddenly look for tissue." He continued, "Actually, the person who cried the most was Eum Moonsuk. Even though it's not something that should make him cry, he still cried."


theqoo

-I cried while watching it too todayㅠㅠㅠ

-The problem is where you can watch the drama?ㅜㅜㅜ

-It's really good from the first episode. The cast's acting skills are amazing and the drama was well-shot.

-In which OTT platform can I watch this?

-Is it like 'Sell Your Haunted House'? I'm curious...

-The accessibility of the OTT platform they use is so bad, though

-I shed a bucket of tearsㅜ

-Wow, I thought I'd give it a try since I know all the faces, but it's my first time hearing about 'Genie TV'...

-What's GenieTV..

-I watched the first episode and it was good, but it might be difficult for those without a TV to watch.

-Why didn't they sell it to Netflix?

-You can watch it on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA!!!

-I want to watch it, but it seems that there are very limited places where you can watch it.ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Can you only watch it on the GenieTV... written on the poster?
 ㄴYou have to wait for the live broadcast or re-broadcast on ENA, except if you are subscribed to GenieTV...

-Hul... I just saw a post celebrating 1.2M viewers in Indonesia, though...?

-What?? I just congratulated them for surpassing 1.2M viewers a while ago...? Hul...

-?? I just saw a post that they surpassed 1.2M viewers like 10 minutes ago?? Wow~

-Didn't they just hit 1.2M viewers??ㅋㅋㅋ I really want to hear Indonesians impression about this movie. What points did they find interesting?

-Hul... Congratulations! Let's go for 2M viewers

-Yes?? Already?? They just reached 1.2M viewers recently...?

-Just how many thousands of people watch this movie every day in Indonesia?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-100,000 viewers in such a short time?? Impressive

-I hope it will surpass 2M viewers soon!!

-They keep breaking records...

-When it reached over 1M viewers, I asked Korean and local YouTubers living in Indonesia about their reactions to 'Exhuma.' They said that because the population is so large, hitting 1M viewers isn't that big of a deal. However, they mentioned that among Korean enthusiasts in their circle, some watched it twice.
 ㄴIndonesia has a relatively small number of moviegoers. They mentioned that the highest record for an Indonesian domestic film was around 7M views.

-It's unique how they use '.' instead of ',' in between the numbers... Anyway, it's really fascinating how this movie is doing well in Indonesia

-That's really fast...

theqoo

-That's really amazing??

-What's going on...

-Whoa... It's doing really well in Indonesia

-It seems there's something in the movie that resonates with Indonesians. It's great that it's doing well!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Thank you, Indonesian Unniesㅎㅎ

-If you look up 'Exhuma' in Tiktok, they're all Indonesians...

-It's Monday today and yet it gained a lot of viewers...

-Whoa... Looks like around 100,000 to 200,000 people watch this every day...

-Hulㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is there something in this movie that resonates with them??

-Wow, that's amazing... Do they like horror movies?

-The caption in that picture says '1,200,000 people are caught in a dilemma of whether to open the door or the window'

-Whoa... I'm really curious about their review about this movie

-I heard Indonesians are really interested in shamanism...

-Southeast Asia shows great interest in shamanism, and Thailand is also strong in this area. Indonesia shares the experience of Japanese invasion during World War II, especially in the Pacific War.

-That's twice of the number of viewers Parasite achievedㄷㄷ

-Do they also have ancestral numerology? It's interesting that they understand this movieㅋㅋㅋ

-I heard Indonesians really enjoy horror moviesㅋㅋㅋ Most of their blockbusters are horror movies

-Do they have funeral customs or rites like ours? They probably do, but I wonder if the meaning was translated well?

-Bali happens to be celebrating Nyepi today...perfect timing for preparing these things like festivals.

-I'm endlessly grateful for the high consumption of Korean content...

-Indonesia is an Islamic country, but do they understand concepts like numerology? 

-If more viewers show up, it would be fun if the director and actors did a stage greeting in Indonesiaㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, impressive! I'm so curious about what aspect of our culture is similar to Indonesia's?! So curious!

-Even in Muslim countries, the concept of shamans seems okay.

'Exhuma' Surpasses 1.3M Viewers in indonesia
