Recently, actress Ahn Eun Jin appeared as a guest on tvN’s You Quiz On The Block, revealing her favorite NewJeans member as Hanni. She stated, “My favorite member is Hanni, and she stared at me for five seconds. I looked at Hanni as if fascinated, and actor Ryu Jun Yeol said, ‘She’s looking at you,’ and I thought my heart stopped.”

After hearing this, Yoo Jae Seok asked, “Is this confirmed?” To this, she replied, “Junyeol oppa and Yoo Hae Jin were next to me. Isn’t this enough?” Yoo responded right back, saying, “She could have been looking at them.” Ahn had no intention of backing down and answered, “I think it was me. I was very close, and I was being quite distracting, so it’s probably me. That’s why that day was spectacular.”

Recently, NewJeans’ Hanni responded to Ahn Eun Jin’s story through a live broadcast with member Hyein.

I saw that recently. I saw Ahn Eun Jin on the show, she was so cute. She said that she made eye contact with me for fie seconds. I did make eye contact with her while I was performing on stage. I saw her dancing in front of me, but I didn’t know she would react that way.

I think I’ll miss you so much

Actually, it’s a pity that I can’t have happy memories with ARMY for a while, so besides that I’m okay, but it’s the hardest thing that I can’t see ARMY. I’ll return really healthy after 18 months, so ARMY, take care of your health and look for happiness every day until I return and say, ‘I’m here!’ I also prepared a lot of things in those 18 months. Please look forward to it!

Let’s make precious memories like we always did, when I return, and make them again then. I really miss you and I love you so much. So you have to wait until I return! I’ll be back soon! Bye!

— V

V then treated fans to a deluge of unreleased photos as a parting gift.

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/mbc-kdrama-mydearest-writer-apologizes-plagiarism-accusations-admits-intended-similarities/ Mon, 11 Dec 2023 01:11:27 +0000 https://www.koreaboo.com/news/mbc-kdrama-mydearest-writer-apologizes-plagiarism-accusations-admits-intended-similarities/

In a recent interview, scriptwriter Hwang Jin Young addressed the plagiarism rumors surrounding her K-Drama, My Dearest, for MBC.

Not too long after its premiere, My Dearest—dubbed one of the “10 Best K-Dramas of 2023“—was accused of being the “Korean remake” of Gone With The Wind. Some scenes were also accused of being an exact replication of other Western classics, like Tess of the d’Urbervilles.

At the time of the initial plagiarism accusations, Hwang claimed that the Western classic(s) served as an “inspiration.”

MBC’s “My Dearest” Under Fire For Allegedly Plagiarizing Legendary Hollywood Movie

Following the grand finale, however, Hwang explained via an interview with Sports Chosun that the viewers are right to argue that the show is “more of a remake than an inspiration.”

When I first thought of writing a ‘wartime romance’ K-Drama set during the times of the Qing invasion of Joseon, I found it difficult to overcome the pressure—more so because of how unsuccessful that war was. I didn’t know if I could create something good enough to be scheduled into the broadcasting schedule. After careful consideration, though, I decided to use Gone With The Wind‘s approach to keeping it lighthearted and romantic.

When viewers think about Gone With The Wind, they don’t associate the work with war. They think of the passionate love story between Scarlett and Rhett. So I thought that, as a variation of Gone With The Wind, My Dearest could spark the interest in viewers—even if it’s set during a lost war. Frankly, I never wanted to hide the fact that I was inspired by Gone With The Wind.

— Hwang Jin Young

Hwang also admitted that some of the scenes in the earlier episodes of My Dearest were, in fact, copied from Gone With The Wind‘s most iconic scenes—like the first encounter of the lead characters.

It was intended for some of the scenes in the earlier episodes of the show to be similar to the signature scenes from Gone With The Wind (like Rhett meeting Ashley for the first time or Rhett watching Scarlett pursue Ashley). I purposely had them clustered in the beginning of the show, so that even the viewers who weren’t aware of the inspiration would notice, ‘Hey, this show reminds me of Gone With The Wind.’ I hoped that the similarities would make the viewers curious as to keep watching and seeing how My Dearest ends up being different from Gone With The Wind. To be honest, I thought it was clever and I almost wanted recognition for how well that was done.

But some viewers believed that to be plagiarism. It’s constructive criticism that I wholeheartedly accept.

— Hwang Jin Young

Calling her scriptwriting “insufficient,” Hwang apologized for the plagiarism controversies surrounding the show.

Looking back, I wonder if I should’ve revealed from the get-go that the show was based on Gone With The Wind. But I think that would’ve been too ‘spoiling.’

Regardless, I would like to clarify once again that My Dearest is indeed inspired by the great Gone With The Wind. And to the viewers who might have felt offended by the similarities caused by my insufficient ability to storytell, I extend my deepest apologies as the scriptwriter spearheading the content.

That being said, I hope more viewers can watch My Dearest and see how the plot deviates from its inspiration, focusing on My Dearest‘s unique setting, characters, and episodes.

— Hwang Jin Young

Koreans are not impressed by Hwang’s interview. Most are expressing disappointment at the scriptwriter’s “shamelessness.”

• “That’s what remakes are, though. Based on original works, but with interpretive tweaks. That’s what the writer did, and so it was a remake. Not an inspiration. Stealing another creator’s foundational work is not to be considered acceptable.”
• “Wow… Amazing.”
• “So shameless… She’s basically admitting that she plagiarized. LOL. How stupid. But then again, she was stupid enough to plagiarize a classic from the beginning to end, so…”
• “Constructive criticism that you wholeheartedly accept, huh?”
• “Wow… So this is how shameless a person needs to get in order to plagiarize.”
• [Irrelevant Comment]
• “Wow… Why is she so proud of the fact…?”
• “So… Is she saying that she did copy Gone With The Wind but that it is absolutely not a remake? If this ain’t plagiarism, then what is?”
• “People saying it was a remake was not supposed to be constructive criticism. We were literally calling you out for plagiarizing. It’s not something that you wholeheartedly accept… You need to be ashamed of yourself and reflecting on your mistakes.”
• “This level of confidence, though… LOL. I read the interview multiple times, and it doesn’t sound too far from ‘Oops, you all caught me! Sorry!’ Ha…”

Despite the accusations, My Dearest became a huge hit for MBC—with viewers anticipating major wins at the MBC Drama Awards.

ATEEZ released their album, THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL, on December 1, and recently, the group dropped a behind-the-scenes video about the album’s production.

Behind the WILL Part.1 was released on ATEEZ’s official YouTube channel on December 10, and in the video, the members broke down how they chose the fashion for their comeback, how they shaped the sound of their new album, discussed the lines from “Crazy Form” that kept them in the studio, and more.

The members interviewed each other during the video, and Hongjoong wanted to know how difficult it was for the vocal-line members to record their title track, “Crazy Form.”

Hongjoong added that the style was “very different from what [the group] was used to singing.”

Yunho explained that each of the members met up to practice the chorus together, practicing as a group and individually to produce the specific sound they were looking for.

For Yunho, he explained that the line, “9024, kick that drum,” was difficult for him to sing in a powerful way that made it stand out.

Wooyoung agreed that it was one of the more difficult lines in the song, and because the group wanted the line to stand out, he admitted that each member recorded the line at least 100 times to get it just right.

Despite the challenge of getting the chorus just right, the members remained dedicated, and each added their unique twist, leaving them satisfied with the end result.

Fans and fellow idols are loving ATEEZ’s comeback promotions, and the group recently left audiences stunned with their performance at the 2023 MAMA Awards.

NV Entertainment, home to Woo!Ah!, is preparing to debut its first K-Pop boy group, DXMON, in January, and the 5th gen group is already garnering attention after their unexpected styling went viral.

DXMON, who has also gone by N11 and NV BOYS, consists of six NV Entertainment trainees who have been selected for the group’s debut line-up.

The six members, Minjae, Hee, Seita, Rex, Jo, and TK, already have a growing fanbase, who have been following their activities through their YouTube trainee TV series and their social media accounts.

Recently, the group performed live at the 2023 Genie Music Festival, which had a line-up including fellow artists Lee Hi, Zico, Sik-K, Wonstein, BewhY, and more.

Following their performance, they quickly went viral for their eccentric hairstyles, which reminded many of TVXQ‘s iconic “Tri-Angle” hair.

During their recent festival appearance, member Jo debuted bright red hair, styled into Liberty spikes, while Hee debuted electric blue hair, and TK, Minjae, Seita, and Rex rocked hairstyles that some netizens found “outdated.”

The “questionable” hairstyles earned mixed reactions. While they received some negative feedback, many netizens also spoke up in defense of the members, understanding that their company likely chose the style for them to go viral.

Supportive netizens acknowledged they were now interested in the group’s upcoming debut, and others felt “sad” that the company wanted the group to go viral for their hairstyles instead of their talents.

• “Well, this will definitely get them at least one more look and attention.”
• “So…It ain’t easy debuting from a smaller management.”
• “But dang… I’m kind of interested now. Haha.”
• “Even their group name reminds me of Digimon. This is hilarious. LOL.”
• “But the K-Pop idol industry is KNOWN for debuting literal babies… So what the f*ck is this? Sigh.”
• “IDK if the members themselves would want to ‘go viral’ this way. If it were me, I’d be so sad to know this is how I’m debuting after all the hard work that I put in…”
• “The blue reminds me of Hisashi Mitsui’s hairstyle. Looks like the CEO chose to have them be remembered this way (vs. let them have good hairstyles).”
• “Wh- what even…?! I mean, the colors red and blue are fine. But they should’ve at least been styled better. T-T Their styles are early 2000s at best.”
• “A starfish…? I can’t believe people still do that kind of hair.”

Kwon Eunbi and GOT7‘s BamBam have earned attention for their endearing friendship and hilarious on-screen chemistry, and the two recently reunited to film for BamBam’s talk show, Bam’s House.

The two continued to show off their sibling-like chemistry, teasing each other while also sharing sweet stories about their friendship.

As the two playfully fought over whether or not to attend each other’s concerts, BamBam stated that Kwon Eunbi is “so consistent,” adding that her personality while filming is the same as when the cameras are off.

Kwon Eunbi asked BamBam if he felt the same way about her as he had when he met her, and BamBam hilariously replied that his impression of her “actually changed a little bit for the better.”

He continued, honestly saying that when they first met, he thought she might have been a “bit rude.”

BamBam added that, as he got to know Kwon Eunbi, he realized how nice she was, and the soloist agreed that she has a “plot twist charm.”

Kwon Eunbi had a first impression story of her own about BamBam. She shared that when she first met the GOT7 maknae, she thought he was “a bit cocky.”

Kwon Eunbi explained that when they first met, BamBam tipped his head to the side when bowing to greet her instead of tipping his head down.

BamBam clarified the situation, stating that he didn’t recognize her because her hat was covering her face.

When she was formally introduced to him, he still felt awkward but hilariously exposed Kwon Eunbi, saying that she “didn’t react all that nicely, either,” which she denied.

They both playfully agreed to disagree about their first interaction, but Kwon Eunbi did reveal that she found BamBam “adorable” and thought he was taller than she had expected.

The two continue to keep fans entertained with their fun friendship! Check out more on the dynamic duo below:

Soloist WOODZ (Cho Seungyoun) will soon be enlisting in the military on January 22, 2024. He announced the news through his fan cafe.

As South Korea allows its citizens to apply for service within a set time frame, he had begun pondering would be the optimal time to serve. WOODZ finalized his date for January next year.

Hello, this is Cho Seungyoun. Today, I’m writing a post as I have some news that I want to personally tell MOODZ. I will be enlisting on January 22, 2024, as per being called to duty by the country. Enlistment had always seemed so far away, but as the time frame for serving approached, I began thinking about the army since last year. I’ll be gone for a short while, to serve the country not as WOODZ, but as the young man, Cho Seungyoun.

It’s been around 10 years since I’ve debuted and begun promoting. I’m so thankful that my memories were filled with precious and happy ones with MOODZ. I will return even healthier, so I hope that everyone should also stay healthy and be filled with happiness, wherever you are.

Once more, I thank MOODZ for becoming a reliable source of strength, showering me with more love than I deserve.

— WOODZ

WOODZ made his debut through the group Uniq in 2014. He is also part of the musical collective, M.O.L.A. He is currently promoting as a soloist.
