[SBS Star] VIDEO: Lee Jung Jae Reacts to Photos of Himself & His Lookalike Dog Put Together

Actor Lee Jung Jae laughed after seeing photos of him and his lookalike dog put together. On August 13, Lee Jung Jae and actor Jung Woo Sung gave a brief greeting at one movie theater in Seoul after the screening of their movie 'Hunt'. During the greeting, one fan held up a panel with photos that have been going around viral online lately. The photos were of Lee Jung Jae on August 7 episode of SBS' television show 'Master in the House', where he appeared in a unique style. At that time, he matched a light pink suit with a pearl necklace. Following the broadcast of this episode, one online community user took to a popular online community and shared a photo of a dog wearing a pink clothing and pearl necklace. The uploader stated, I made this dog my profile photo on KakaoTalk (the most-used mobile messenger in Korea) a few days ago, but after seeing Lee Jung Jae looking exactly like this dog on television, I quietly changed my profile photo to another one. Since the dog's fashion as well as the face remind much of Lee Jung Jae in the recent episode of 'Master in the House', these photos quickly spread online. Upon seeing these photos that the fan held up for Lee Jung Jae to see during the greeting, he pointed at it and burst out laughing. Jung Woo Sung checked out what the fan was holding, then asked the fan with a huge smile, Umm... Why is a photo of a dog wearing a pink clothing and pearl necklace next to a photo of Lee Jung Jae in 'Master in the House'? Why did you place them next to each other? While Jung Woo Sung asked, Lee Jung Jae continued to laugh next to him, keeping his eyes on the photos. 220813 메가박스 코엑스 13:40 무대인사 #헌트 #정우성 #이정재 ??(빵 터짐) ?? 그 ..... 핑크색 옷을 입고, 강아지에 진주 목걸이를 채우고, 집사부에 나온 정재씨의 사진과 같이 붙여놓은 이유는 뭐예요? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ pic.twitter.com/17MntQQSyu ― 정,김강순애 (@sky_n_insider) August 13, 2022 (Credit= 'sky_n_insider' Twitter, SBS Master in the House, Online Community) (SBS Star)

[SBS Star] Nam Joo Hyuk's Agency Responds to 'Sexual Harassment in Group Chat' Accusations

Actor Nam Joo Hyuk's management agency, Management Soop, has responded to the newly-alleged evidence of cyberbullying in a group chat. On July 6, a third informant C―this time a woman―claimed that Nam Joo Hyuk and his friends cyberbullied her and sexually harassed her during their senior year of high school. The informant provided group chat screenshots from May 2012, claiming that she had been forcefully invited into the group chat simply because one of Nam Joo Hyuk's friends disliked her. She claimed that Nam Joo Hyuk and his friends took turns sending her hateful comments that included sexual harassment, disparaging remarks on her looks, and insults. Although Nam Joo Hyuk was not the one who created the group chat―a so-called 'Kakaotalk Prison'―but his messages showed that he also insulted the informant C. The informant revealed that she reported the incident to the school, but Nam Joo Hyuk and his friends only apologized when they were forced to do so by their teachers. In regard to the new allegations, Management Soop confirmed that the chatroom messages provided by informant C were real. However, the agency claimed that the messages were just a fragment of a bigger picture, without necessary contexts provided. Management Soop stated, The incident that took place in the Kakaotalk chatroom is very complicated, and it is also an extremely personal matter for the individuals in the group chat. The agency added, As mentioned in the news report, the incident was already resolved by the school through apologies from both sides. Therefore, we believe that it is inadequate to publicize the full story at this point in time through the media. ▶ [SBS Star] Nam Joo Hyuk Belatedly Accused of School Bullying; Agency Responds ▶ [SBS Star] Nam Joo Hyuk's Agency Shares an Official Statement Regarding School Bullying Rumors ▶ [SBS Star] Nam Joo Hyuk's School Bullying Accusations: Another Alleged Victim Steps Up (Credit= Management Soop) (SBS Star)

[SBS Star] T-ARA Eunjung Shares that She Once Texted Someone Pretending to Be FTISLAND Lee Hong Gi

Eunjung of K-pop girl group T-ARA talked about the time when she texted someone who pretended to be Lee Hong Gi of boy band FTISLAND. On May 5 episode of MBC's television show 'Radio Star', Eunjung and Lee Hong Gi made a guest appearance. During the talk, Eunjung shared that she once exchanged texts with Lee Hong Gi, who actually turned out to be someone else. Eunjung said, This was years ago when I was rehearsing for 'Dream Concert'. At that time, FTISLAND was part of the line-up, so I saw Lee Hong Gi during the rehearsal. The singer continued, Lee Hong Gi and I didn't know each other personally, so I didn't have his number. But when I got back to our waiting room, I received a text from someone who said that he was Lee Hong Gi. She went on, I texted back saying, 'Hi. Your rehearsal lasted quite long.' He was like, 'Yeah, I had to get a lot of things ready.' So, I thought it really was him at first. Then, Eunjung said she met him during the camera rehearsal. Eunjung said, I said hi, and he was like, 'Oh, hi.' but in a way that he didn't look so comfortable. I texted him later asking why he said hi like that, he told me that it was because there were too many people around. She resumed, I met Lee Hong Gi again during the concert, and something felt quite odd. I texted this Lee Hong Gi guy again, and asked, 'You're not Hong Gi, right?'. Then, his Kakaotalk profile photo suddenly changed to something else. After listening to Eunjung's story, Lee Hong Gi gasped in surprise and commented, I had no idea about this. Wow.

[SBS Star] Lee Hyo-ri Says She Will No Longer Be Active on Social Media

Singer Lee Hyo-ri has shared her intention to step away from social media for good. On September 2, Lee Hyo-ri took to her personal Instagram account to share the news. In the lengthy post with a photo of herself, Lee Hyo-ri wrote: Hello, everyone. After the next few days, I plan to stop using Instagram. It wasn't because of anything that happened recently. (Although it's not like it didn't have an effect on my decision.) This was a space for me to communicate with my fans, who wanted to hear from me back when I was not promoting much. But now, I keep stressing about it and it's not easy. I will try to think of a different way to communicate with you all. Thank you for cheering me on and showing interest in me even though I was lacking in so many ways. Also, I am thankful to the people who spoke bitter words to me. Let's keep social distancing in our homes in these difficult times. I love you, and thank you. On her new reality show 'Face ID', Lee Hyo-ri shared her honest thoughts on social media. She said, &'I have over a thousand photos of my dogs, but I've never used KakaoTalk. I think that if you talk a lot on social media, you can get into unnecessary fights and it's not good. I also watch Netflix when my husband turns it on. I don't know how to use technology without him.&' Lee Hyo-ri opened her personal Instagram account in December 2016, after shutting down her personal blog that she shared photos for about a year.
