'Nice To Not Meet You' starring Im Jiyeon and Lee Jungjae draws mixed reviews on their romance with 18 years gap. Concerns about the age gap between the two actors have been lingering since news of their casting broke. Lee Jungjae, born in 1972, and In Jiyeon, born in 1990, have a whopping 18-year age gap. Netizens commented "Lee Jun-jae and the actress who plays his mother look more like a married couple;; Isn't Lee Jungjae turning 60 soon???" and "It's not just uncomfortable, it's disgusting. When was Lee Jungjae like this... . I'm not saying anything about his age... But he should play roles that suit his age. With his face all slumped over, his cheeks drooping, his lips thin and missing... He's just a grandfather... He's perfect for the role of a middle-aged gentleman, but what is he doing..." [Nate]

On the 1st, MC Mong posted a photo of his injured wrist on his SNS and said, "I'm sorry for how much controversy this photo will cause and how much my family and fans will shed tears of blood. This happened a month ago. 10 minutes after I attempted s*****de." MC Mong explained the situation shown in the photo. "The moment the police arrived, I couldn't control my tears and started crying. I didn't need anything, not even money or music. I felt like I had lost everything and wanted to d*e, but all I felt was regret."
He continued “My last TV appearance was 17 years ago. Do I still look like that wild monkey shouting on 2 Days & 1 Night? Or do I just look like some washed-up f*cked up generation to you? I swear, it wasn’t about dodging the draft, I fought. The moment I tried to take my own life was the most f***ed-up thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”
He went on, “I’ve never once responded to the freely written articles about me, nor have I ever reported any malicious comments. I just thought, If I’m scolded, then I’ll take it, just go with the flow, and lived that way. Maybe I’ve endured pain much longer than you all think. Now, whatever happens, I’m ready to see it through to the end.”

Netizens commented "Put your hand on your chest, can you say with confidence that you NEVER tried to evade drafting??" [Nate]
Following singer HyunA's collapse on stage, concerns about her health are mounting, and some netizens are continuing to attack her with malicious comments.
While public concern persists, speculations are spreading in some online communities, suggesting that the scene was staged. Regarding the scene where HyunA collapses, comments such as, "She looks like she's lying comfortably" and "The staging is too natural."
Even the bodyguard who rushed onto the stage and carried HyunA off the stage in a flash became the butt of ridicule. Some netizens made light of the situation by sarcastically suggesting that the bodyguard was having a hard time lifting HyunA.
The reality that even urgent and precarious moments are consumed as a laughing stock is beyond bitterness and infuriating. It's time to look squarely at the true nature of this controversy and put an end to distorted perspectives. [Nate]
