[SBS Star] Yulhee Opens Up About How Happy She Is with Single Life After Divorce

Yulhee, a former member of K-pop girl group LABOUM, expressed her satisfaction with single life following her divorce. On August 25, Yulhee took some time to answer followers' questions on Instagram. When one follower asked for an update on her life, Yulhee replied, I've just been staying home, not doing much. Also, just working and going to meetings. Regarding her summer vacation plans, Yulhee shared, It's so hot that I can't even think about going anywhere right now. But if I do go, I'll probably go alone since I've never taken a solo vacation before. Then, when asked, Aren't you worried about being single? I'm really anxious about it right now and afraid I might never meet the right person, Yulhee responded, I don't think I'm worried at all. I have amazing friends around me, and I really enjoy the peaceful and happy time I have to myself. She went on to say, That's why I don't feel the need to be in a relationship right now. I need time for my kids, for myself, for work, and for my friends. It feels like there are more important things in my life than being in a relationship. Yulhee went public with her relationship with boy band FTISLAND's member Minhwan in September 2017. The following June, they welcomed a son, and by October of the same year, they were married. In February 2020, Yulhee gave birth to twin daughters, and the couple, along with their three children, even appeared on TV together. However, they announced their divorce in December of last year, with custody of their three children―Jae-yul, Ah-rin, and Ah-yoon―being granted to Minhwan. Since the divorce, Yulhee has moved out of the family home and started living on her own. (Credit= 'yul._.hee' Instagram) (SBS Star)

[SBS Star] William & Bentley Hammington's Mother Responds to Comments, What's with Their Hair?

Korea-based New Zealander Australian comedian Sam Hammington's wife Yu-mi Hammington revealed the reason her two sons―William and Bentley Hammington―have long hair. On July 2, Yu-mi Hammington shared photos of her sons in Phuket, Thailand, on Instagram. In the photos, William and Bentley Hammington are seen enjoying their time in Phuket, wearing short sleeves and sporting shoulder-length hair. Along with the photos, she wrote, It's a cool, rainy day after a long time. We've been having so much fun here, but I'm upset because Ben got sick. Fortunately, he seems to be feeling better today. She continued, He has food poisoning, but thankfully, the symptoms don't include diarrhea. His stomach kept hurting despite taking medicine, he vomited frequently, had a fever and couldn't eat though. Ben lost 2 kg. Everyone, be careful of food poisoning, sharing her younger son's condition. Yu-mi Hammington added, The most frequent question the kids got in Phuket was, 'Are you twins?' I think they look completely different, but I guess not to others. Yu-mi Hammington also clarified the reason for her sons' hairstyles, which had received many comments, some of them being negative. A lot of people are talking about the kids' hairstyles, but they are growing their hair because they want to. Even though they are still young, we respect their opinions, she explained, adding, Even if the weather is gloomy today, we're staying happy. Have a good day! The Hammington family gained significant public attention after appearing on KBS' reality show The Return of Superman. They were part of the show for five years, from 2016 until early 2022. Currently, the Hammington family is on a long vacation in Phuket. (Credit= 'yumihammington' Instagram) (SBS Star)

그룹 방탄소년단(BTS) 정국이 팬송으로 미국 빌보드 '핫 100'을 뚫었다. 17일(이하 현지시간) 미국 음악 전문 매체 빌보드는 공식 X(구 트위터)와 홈페이지를 통해 지난 7일 발표된 정국의 디지털 싱글 'Never Let Go'가 메인 송차트 '핫 100'(6월 22일 자)에 97위로 진입했다고 밝혔다. 이로써 정국은 솔로곡으로만 통산 7번째 '핫 100'에 입성하며 이 차트에서 K-팝 솔로 가수 최다 곡 진입 신기록을 자체 경신했다. 정국은 '핫 100' 10위권에 3곡을 올린 유일한 한국 솔로 아티스트이기도 하다. 'Never Let Go'는 방탄소년단의 데뷔일(6월 13일)을 기념하는 축제 'FESTA'의 일환으로 공개된 팬송이다. 하우스 리듬을 기반으로 한 영어곡으로 '맞잡은 서로의 손을 절대로 놓지 말자'라는 메시지를 담았다. 정국이 작사, 작곡 전반에 참여해 아티스트의 역량을 드러냈다. 'Never Let Go'는 공식 활동 없이 음원 수치와 리릭 비디오(Lyric video) 조회 수 등으로 '핫 100' 순위권에 올랐다는 점에서 정국과 방탄소년단의 여전한 글로벌 인기를 입증한다. 앞서 정국은 2022년 하이브 오리지널 스토리 '7FATES: CHAKHO'의 OST 'Stay Alive (Prod. SUGA of BTS)'(95위), 찰리 푸스와의 협업곡 'Left and Right (Feat. Jung Kook of BTS)'(22위), 2023년 내놓은 솔로 싱글 'Seven (feat. Latto)'(1위)과 '3D (feat.

'Never Let Go'는 미국 빌보드와 함께 세계 양대 음악 차트로 꼽히는 영국 오피셜 차트에서 60위를 차지했다. 정국은 빌보드와 마찬가지로 오피셜 차트에서도 솔로곡으로 통산 7번째 차트인 하면서 K-팝 솔로 가수 기준 최다 차트인 신기록을 세웠다. 정국은 글로벌 차트에서 연이어 신기록을 경신하며, 꾸준히 남다른 저력을 과시하고 있다.

[SBS Star] Ko So-young Says Jang Dong-geon's Looks Do Not Make Her Less Angry When They Fight

Actress Ko So-young shared what it feels like waking up every day next to her husband, Jang Dong-geon, who is referred to as one of the most attractive male actors in Korea. On June 9, entertainer Keem Na-young posted a new episode of her YouTube show featuring Ko So-young as a guest. During the episode, Keem Na-young asked the actress questions from fans: The most popular question for you was, 'When you fight with your husband, does your anger disappear because of how handsome he is?'. People ask me things like that really often. 'What it's like to wake up next to Jang Dong-geon?', they asked, and it's so... , Ko So-young said and kept a meaningful silence, causing Keem Na-young to bust into laughter. The good looks of your partner don't keep dazzling you after getting married. When we argue, it's no different from anyone else. His attractive appearance does not make me less angry. In fact, it's even more annoying when your husband is gorgeous and doesn't listen to you. , she remarked with a chuckle. When Keem Na-young asked Ko So Young if she ever gets angry at her children when they act up, the actress replied, Can't even tell you how many times a day I get angry at them. She added, But I agree with those who believe that children are not to blame; it's always the parents who are responsible for their upbringing. You know, as a mother, I find myself constantly giving the same lectures to my children for the same thing they do. I've been repeating the same lines for 15 years. , Ko So-young said, My kids always ask, 'Mom, could you just talk without getting so upset?'. And I automatically reply, 'I'm not upset, I'm just talking here!'. I think people who advocate for raising a child without scolding them are those who never had a child. , the actress said, adding that caring for her two children causes dark circles under her eyes. During the episode, Keem Na-young brought up some questions from fans praising the timeless beauty of the 51-year-old actress. Many have left questions like, 'What's the secret to your beauty?', 'How can you stay that beautiful?', 'Until when are you going to be that beautiful?'. Ko So-young playfully responded, Forever, I guess? , and laughed with the host. Meanwhile, Ko So-young tied the knot with Jang Dong-geon in May 2010. The couple welcomed their son in October 2010 and their daughter in February 2014. (Credit= '김나영의 nofilterTV' YouTube, 'kosoyoung_official' Instagram) (SBS Star)
