[theqoo] IU, BYUN WOOSEOK 'WIFE OF A 21ST CENTURY PRINCE' FIRST TEASER REVEALED
> 2026년 MBC 드라마 라인업 > <21세기 대군부인> 티저 pic.twitter.com/Vcw6s5kmOS > > — 아이유 영상🗂 (@IUarchiving) December 30, 2025 "2026 MBC drama lineup 'Wife of a 21st Century Prince' teaser" 'Wife of a 21st Century Prince' is a romance about breaking social barriers and forging destiny, set against the backdrop of 21st-century constitutional monarchy in South Korea. It follows ‘Sung Heejoo’, a woman who has everything as a chaebol heiress but is frustrated by her commoner status, and ‘Lee Wan’, the prince who is the king's son yet is saddened by his inability to possess anything. IU portrays ‘Sung Heejoo’, the capable second daughter of a chaebol family who possesses outstanding beauty, intelligence, and a competitive spirit, yet is constrained by her commoner status. Sung Heejoo is a bold character who chooses a contract marriage with Crown Prince Lee Wan (played by Byun Wooseok) to obtain the one thing she lacks: ‘status’. Meeting Prince Lee Wan, who shares a similar background yet made different choices in life, becomes a turning point for her. Byun Wooseok portrays the sorrowful Prince Lee Wan, who possesses nothing but his royal bloodline. As the second son of the royal family, forbidden to shine or make a sound, he has lived suppressing his fiery heart. Yet, his innate grace and charm make him one of the ‘most beloved royals’ among the people. Accustomed to always hiding himself, he undergoes a new inner transformation upon meeting ‘Sung Heejoo’, his contractual marriage partner, who seems both similar and different to him. original post: here 1. I'm shocked by the acting... 2. Aigo... he's worse at acting than a singer... 3. He really can't act 4. It looks funㅎㅎㅎㅎ Especially IU, I like her acting so I'm looking forward to itㅋㅋㅋ I got reminded of Jang Manwol 5. Looks fun!!!! Looking forward to it 6. So heart flutteringㅜㅜ 7. The male lead's acting is weird 8. The male lead is reading a book with his actingㅋㅋ 9. Why am I getting outdated feelings from this? And the male lead's acting is severe 10. Is the male lead shooting a CF...? It looks like a CF 11. IU is basically playing Jang Manwol 2.... and the male lead is reading a book.. 12.

[theqoo] PENALTY + DAMAGES TO BE CLAIMED FROM DANIELLE, WHO WAS EXPELLED FROM NEWJEANS
According to legal circles on the 30th, ADOR's lawsuit against Danielle, her family, and former ADOR CEO Min Heejin seeking liquidated damages and compensation for damages has been assigned to the Seoul Central District Court's Civil Agreement Division 31 (Presiding Judge Nam In-soo). ADOR is seeking approximately 43.1 billion won (~29.8M USD) in damages from Danielle and others, and the date for their first hearing has not yet been set. The liquidated damages are expected to be around 100 billion won (~69.2M USD) based on industry standard methods. According to today's article, the damages sought amount to 43.1 billion won. original post: here 1. Good 2. What "good"? You guys are supporting the tyranny of a big conglomerate, damnㅋㅋ 3. Good good 4. Can't the fans get together to gather that money?ㅠㅠ She can become free after this 5. The damages amount is lower than I expected. Was it calculated per person? They must have made that decision because they thought she could handle it 6. I don't even know if Min Heejin would be able to pay that, let alone Danielle 7. 100 billion won....? How is everyone celebrating suing a young girl for 100 billion won??;; 8. Are you guys insane with the way you're treating this young girl??? How can you call this "good"?? 9. I know that we shouldn't worry about celebrities but the fact that HYBE isn't going after all 5 of them but is putting everything on Danielle is a bit... 10. So refreshing 11. A contract isn't a joke. You need to take responsibility for the high return 12. Seems like she found a bad lawyer. It was a lost game since then New post Next Post **✉  PC Stories**

[Daily news] DECEMBER 29TH 2025
A recent photo of Park Yoochun, formerly of the idol group TVXQ, has become a hot topic. On the 26th, Park Yoochun held a photo book signing event at a large bookstore in Tokyo, Japan, to commemorate the release of his photo book. A fan took a photo of him and posted it on social media. He looked noticeably thinner than when he was active in Korea. Park Yoochun also became a hot topic on the 12th with a family photo he posted on Instagram. His activities in Korea have been effectively halted, and he is currently focusing on releasing albums and holding dinner shows in Japan. He recently appeared in the Tokyo MX drama "A Greedy Woman and a Man with a Story." [Nate] The Female Popularity Award for MBC Entertainment Awards went to Tzuyang. Approaching the stage, Tzuyang, who seemed quite nervous, said, "I really didn't expect this," and expressed her gratitude to the production team, subscribers, and others. Tzuyang shed tears and said, "Actually, I thought that my life had a lot of hardships so far. I thought it was so hard that I could d*e, but when this time actually came, I thought that I wanted to live instead. That's why I lived very diligently." [Nate] Rumors of a relationship between aespa's Winter and BTS's Jungkook are currently circulating. In particular, recent claims that Winter made remarks reminiscent of Jungkook on aespa's official YouTube channel have led some to criticize, asking, "Isn't she deceiving fans?" On January 13th, a video titled "Today I'm a Western Chef" was posted on aespa's official YouTube channel. Chef Napoli Matpia, the winner of "Black and White Chef," appeared as a guest and showed Winter how to make pasta. While Winter was putting dough into the noodle maker and spinning it to make noodles, she said to the camera, “Yah, are you watching? (t/n: 있냐? is a very informal ending)” When Napoli Matpia asked back, “Who are you talking to?”, Winter smiled and said again, “Are you watching?” while the caption on the video said, “MYs (aespa fandom name) are you watching?”, but netizens who saw this interpreted it as “Isn’t she talking to Jungkook, not the fans?” The possibility that she said “Yah” to the fans was also pointed out as a problem, but netizens argued, based on her existing communication style, “If she had said it to the fans, she would have said something like, ‘MYs, are you watching? (t/n: 있어? is more formal)’” [Nate] StayC Sieun receives criticism over being 'too skinny'. One netizen comments "These days, celebrities are getting too severe. In the past, there was a time when being skinny was trendy, then ‘healthy-looking’ bodies became popular, and now being skinny is trendy again, but this time it’s on a whole different level. It’s not just being thin; it’s what people call a ‘bones-only’ body type. Back in the day, bodies this thin would have raised suspicions of ano****a, that’s how extreme it is. Also, before it was mostly idols like that, but now even actors are appearing in dramas with bodies that look like nothing but bones. They look sick, so I can’t even immerse myself in the drama. Even if adults with bodies like that don’t have problems right now, there’s no way it won’t cause issues later. At least celebrities get professional management, but non-celebrities who try to copy them…” [Nate] The late actress Kim Saeron's last work will be revealed. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, the youth romance "Everyday We Are" (directed by Kim Min-jae), starring Kim Saeron and Lee Chaemin, has been confirmed for release in February 2026. 'Everyday We Are' is a youth romance film based on the webtoon of the same name that thrilled readers, garnering over 16 million views on Kakao Page alone. It tells the story of Ho-su (Lee Chaemin) suddenly confessing his love to Yeo-ul (Kim Saeron) one day before she enters high school. Yeo-ul, taken aback by her childhood friend's sudden confession and kiss, becomes angry and their friendship ends. Then, on the long-awaited high school entrance ceremony, Yeo-ul and Ho-su find themselves in the same school and class. With their relationship completely changed and their friendship now broken, they spend their days feeling uneasy, and their relationship becomes increasingly turbulent.

[PC stories/KPOP takes] EVERYTHING ABOUT HEARTS2HEARTS GOES AGAINST SM GROUPS' TRADITION
I have noticed that there are so many things about Hearts2Hearts that are unusual to most SM groups. Like, if there was something SM groups were criticized for while other groups got praised, now Hearts2Hearts' members have it and SM stans are now using as a weapon against other idols. If there was something SM stans used to brag about and put down other idols for not having it, now it's time for SM stans to defend Hearts2Hearts from other fandoms because they lack it. I'll list those things down: 1. Top tier vocals; of course, the most classic SM tradition. H2H doesn't have a strong vocal line, there is no member who is an outstanding vocalist and their vocal tones are very similar, so knetizens are always discussing about it and saying that they miss the strong presence of a main vocal that SM groups always had in the past. So fans always come up with excuses like "they're so young, let's wait for them to improve!!" (even though past SM vocalists were already powerful in their teens). They seem like a dance focused group. 2. Plastic surgery vs natural beauty; AESPA were dragged to hell for having plastic surgery but Hearts2Hearts members are mostly natural, for what i see only Jiwoo and Juun got a nose job. People accuse Ian of getting procedures done too but she looks exactly the same in her past pictures, and she's their main visual. I've seen fans bragging about it on the k-side and here on pannchoa a few were hating Meovv's Anna for having plastic surgery lol. 3. Chasing trends; SM groups used to be known for not following trends and introducing outstanding, unique concepts to kpop but Hearts2Hearts is just like almost every other 5th gen girlgroup, yet some fans swear they're not. Both sound and concept, the songs are good but nothing that we haven't seen before. Lack of powerful high notes and too much low/talk singing is noticeable. 4. Big male fanbase; Red Velvet and AESPA had a female dominated fanbase and the fans would drag other certain girlgroups for having a male dominated fanbase but now it seems like Hearts2Hearts is heading in the opposite direction. Recently male screams both on stage and on their way to music show have been increasing considerably as SM's management intends with the direction they're giving for certain members, and it's creepy. 5. Expl**tation of m**ors; Hearts2Hearts members debuted as young as NewJeans and SM stan were at the forefont of discussions about NewJeans being exploited and s****lized, bragging about how SM changed after MHJ left and debuted AESPA and even RIIZE as adults, telling people how they shouldn't support the group while some even throwing around the word p**o in fanwars, even though everyone pretends to forget that it all happened. But of course you don't see the same outrage for Hearts2Hearts debuting at 14/15, wearing inappropriate outfits and being s****lized by creepy korean youtube channels, proving how performative SM stans are. Fans are too silent about it all and it's worrying. Anyways, most points are negative but it's just so ironic to think about it all. New post Next Post **✉  PC Stories**

[teens stories] THIS IS WHAT I REALIZED AFTER DATING 7 TIMES
Girls who've especially been badly hurt after meeting real trash guys among Hannams, the sh*ttiest of the sh*ttiest of them, end up valuing kind, gentle guys who treat them well, even more than guys they're just intensely attracted to But girls who've never actually dated a truly trash guy tend to have this weird fantasy. They say things like their boyfriend is "too nice so he's boring," or "not exciting," or "doesn't make my heart flutter ㅋㅋ They just don't seem to understand what's truly valuable. The moment you date a real piece of trash, all that talk disappears instantly. This is literally my own storyㅋㅋㅋ... Honestly, even if a guy is a bit boring, a kind man is still way better. Looking for "thrill" will just end up ruining yourself ** ** **post response:** **[+82][-9]** original post: here 1. [+42, -4] What I truly, genuinely agree with a thousand times is this: stop talking about "dopamine" and "excitement" and all that crap, and please just date a kind, gentle, emotionally stable guy who genuinely loves you. You think, "If that's the case, I might as well date a ridiculously handsome guy and just get hurt for his looks, no big deal, I'll still be happy, right?" No. Not at all. I'm saying this as someone who's dated a lot and gone through every kind of failed talking stage and trash situation imaginable. Cheating, rebound relationships, gaslighting, ghosting, I've experienced all of it. The people I'm honestly most jealous of are the ones who never had those things in their lives. The ones who always met good men and never had their lives wrecked because of a guy even once. People say this kind of stuff because they've never experienced how completely draining and dehumanizing it is 2. [+32, -9] I feel like men who have a lot of money and who use their money well are the solution 3. [+18, 0] Why date someone who's just nice but boring? Might as well not date at all... And if they're ugly or unpopular, you assume they're nice, but they actually have extreme inferiority complex, those guys are everywhere. You've never seen the abyss 4. [+16, -5] Uhm... if you dated 7 times, you sound like you're crazy about men. Why are you writing this pretending to be all wise? 5. [+14, 0] You need to be careful of the kids who are kind just on the outside New post Next Post **✉  PC Stories**

[theqoo] DANIELLE EXPELLED FROM NEWJEANS, ADOR SEEKS PENALTY AND DAMAGES... "NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TAKEN DESPITE DAMAGING THE TEAM"
On the 29th, an ADOR representative told Xports News, “We plan to file a lawsuit for damages and liquidated damages today.” Regarding Danielle's grounds for liability, they stated, “It's difficult to provide precise details as legal proceedings are pending,” but added, "There are mutually agreed-upon terms in the exclusive contract. Danielle engaged in actions that violated the exclusive contract. For example, signing other contracts, conducting independent entertainment activities, or damaging the reputation and credibility of the group NewJeans all constitute breaches of the exclusive contract." They added, “ADOR requested corrective action regarding these points, but since the required corrections were not made within the specified timeframe, we had to notify him of the contract termination.” original post: here 1. The end 2. But still, she will eat and live better than me ㅇㅇ 3. I'm curious about the amount of money she'll have to pay 4. So she was working on something else.. 5. ADOR is saying the right thing though 6. I wonder what kind of things she did independently? 7. I wonder if Danielle will just live the rest of her life without returning to Korea? If I were her, I'd figure out my finances and just cut ties with Korea 8. The Court has already concluded on the ruling. Danielle just ignored it and went to do her own things and kept promoting by herself 9. Remember this happened before too? Some American singer? posted a photo with Danielle, tagged her and said, "just give us some time guys, it's coming." Then, either realizing it was illegal too late or something, they deleted the post and issued a statement saying it was related to producing Danielle's song 10. Was she under 2 contracts?

[instiz] THE REASON WHY FANS ARE MAD THAT IAN WILL PERFORM A COVER OF KARINA'S 'UP'
(T/N: Ian will be covering Karina's 'Up' at the 2025 Gayo Daejejeon) "**I saw this comment and I can understand why Karina's fans are mad** It's not even an official song, just a concert track, but Karina personally wrote the lyrics, contributed choreography ideas, and poured so much love into it. Yet she herself has never performed it on broadcast TV. Fans begged SM to give her a single stage on terrestrial TV, but they refused. Now a hoobae is doing the first-ever broadcast stage of that song at a year-end show? As a fan, how could you not feel upset? And covering a song by an active sunbae artist, especially her latest release, isn't something you usually do, especially since it's a concert song. As a Karina fan, it's perfectly understandable to feel upset." They are mad towards the company original post: here 1. SM should stick together when attacked from outside, but they encourage favoritism and discriminate among members within the group. I never want to stan their groups ever again 2. This is SM's tradition 3. I'm a fan of another group but just seeing how my bias group is being replaced saddens me... I can't even imagine having a song that my bias wrote and composed being performed randomly as a cover when they've never even performed it on broadcast 4. SM is seriously driving me insane!!!!!!! 5. Of course they'd be freaking pissed.... 6. My bias isn't being treated this badly but I've seen their hoobae group perform their song that was barely performed before and I was freaking mad. My bias is also from SM... 7. I'd be f*cking furious if I was Karina's fan 8. Hul I saw Karina's stage on TikTok and I thought that she officially promoted with that song. So that wasn't the case, huh?... I thought that she promoted it because of how popular the song was. Ian didn't do anything wrong and it's all because of her company that she's put in an uncomfortable position 9. Jennie's You & Me was also performed by Yuna though > But Jennie's fans cursed at the broadcast station back then. Why cover a song that Jennie has never performed? 10. My bias also has songs that they never sang on TV so I can sympathize with Karina's fans so much. Of course they would be mad at the company New post Next Post **✉  PC Stories**

No matter how much Twitter treats aespa like they're worse than actual criminals, mocking a post about filing a SH lawsuit? A thousand likes in ten minutes? Did aespa really commit some unforgivable sin to the point where other women are actually happy to see s****l rumors being spread about them?" Tweet in the screenshot: (replying to another user saying "aespa's lawsuit notice is out, farewell") So what are they even suing? (T/N: Tweet shows the number of likes increasing in exponential speed) "That forced-hate Tweet hadn't even been up for five minutes before it spread across all the communities and even got turned into Shorts. Someone even screen-recorded how the rekkas were deleting normal, reasonable comments that didn't agree with them, and leaving only the hateful ones, those people are seriously insane." Suspicious like speeds and how fast rekka reels spread A lot of people are questioning whether it's even possible for an aespa hate wave to form that fast just from antis, when posts from the deranged community spread like wildfire within 5 minutes and instantly turn into coordinated aespa hate discourse. ++ It was the same with the Winter doll account, within less than an hour that day it hit hot posts and got flooded into Reels and Shorts, everyone acting like it was some huge infamous account that all fans knew. But when the doll account was restored and went back to normal fangirling, suddenly no one cared at all. original post: here 1. To be honest, if you look at the posts or YouTube videos being made lately, it's even more fascinating that there are people who aren't suspicious of the smear campaignㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They were hating their live singing so intensely. But then, if their live singing is good, they would make a fuss about how their views are low and that the general public won't welcome them anymore. This isn't what a normal person would do.. 2. Seriously stop. I feel so bad for aespaㅜㅜ 3. The CEO of a major entertainment conglomerate who went to the parliamentary audit with a negative virality document asked, 'Can you step on aespa?', so how can it not be negative virality?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 4. It has to be a smear campaign. But female community sites also love hating on female celebrities that much 5. But if you think about their dating scandal, I don't think that it's abnormal? It might not be negative virality 6. No but you guys need to chill with the conspiracy theories. There's no end to your speculations 7. But there were thousands of likes on hate posts against aespa even before the dating rumors. Also, it's possible that it's negative virality but to be honest, I feel like because Twitter started hiding likes, there are even more people liking hate posts in secret + people who just want to hate on female celebrities;; I hate negative virality and I hate all the kids who like hate posts 8. You can tell right away that this is a smear campaign 9. I don't think that it's from "that" company thoughㅋㅋ There are way more trolls on DC Gallery 10.
