UEE asks Joo Won, “Have you forgotten me?”

 

 
It’s been a while since UEE and Joo Won met since their famous ‘Ojakgyo Brothers‘, but rather than expressing her happiness upon reuniting with him, UEE couldn’t help but fluster him as she expressed a bit of jealousy!
 
The pair received the TV Rookie Award together at the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards last year. However, after that, during a few interviews, Joo Won had chosen his ‘7th Grade Civil Servant‘ co-star Choi Kang Hee as his best partner. When UEE stood with Joo Won on stage to give the 49th Baeksang Arts Rookie Award just recently on the 9th, she demanded an answer, asking, “Last year, we received this award together and were overcome with emotion, but then afterwards you chose Choi Kang Hee sunbaenim as your best partner. Have you forgotten me?“.
 
The question flustered Joo Won, who laughed awkwardly before he offered, “Recently, the show I had the most fun watching is ‘Jeon Woo Chi‘ (UEE’s starring drama). I had a lot of fun watching it,” cheering up UEE just a bit.
 
Good save, Joo Won!

In a tragic turn of events, even when the tumor was removed from his spine, the cancer cells had already spread to his lungs, and he even stopped his chemotherapy treatments.
 
When Mir heard of Kim Dong Hee’s story, he pushed aside all of his other schedules and requested that wanted to appear on the show. He revealed that when he was young, he had problems with his lungs and he had to be hospitalized for a long time, so he could somewhat relate.
 
Before they met, Mir prepared a handmade lunch for Kim Dong Hee, making sure to include the meat that Kim Dong Hee loved. They talked for a long time and Mir told Kim Dong Hee to call him hyung. Mir then went on to help Kim Dong Hee as much as he could to fulfill the list of things Kim Dong Hee wanted to do, and even prepared a surprise birthday party.

Moon Hee Jun reveals he was hurt by articles claiming he committed suicide

 
Moon Hee Jun revealed how hurt he was from false articles that claimed he’d committed suicide.
 
He was a guest on a recent recording of ‘Quiz to Change the World‘, and he talked about the dark times when he suffered from hate comments. He said, “For 6 years, I only put out music and performed at concerts. I never came out on variety shows, since whenever I opened my mouth, it would all be misunderstood. Some articles came out saying that I committed suicide because I was releasing music but never was seen promoting it. When those rumors were spreading, random people would sometimes see me and say, ‘Huh? He’s alive?’. I heard that for around 2 years.
 
He added, “Since I kept hearing that, I thought, is it weird that I’m alive? I was okay, but it hurt because so many people around me were like that. So when people talk of the past, I get hurt a little.
 
Thankfully, Moon Hee Jun is famous for winning over all of the past hate comments and planting a successful solo career as both a musician and a TV personality.
