The Noona Chronicles

UPDATE: A spokesperson from Taecyeon’s agency, 51K, addressed the speculation, stating,  “The photos were not taken as part of a marriage proposal. These images, captured last year in celebration of his girlfriend’s birthday, were unfortunately leaked and circulated online. The representative further emphasized,  “Taecyeon continues to have a strong relationship with his girlfriend, as he always has. While we believe he may consider marriage when the time is right, there are no immediate plans at this time.” ________________  In April of last year, a Parisian photographer shared a proposal photo on Instagram. However, a Chinese fan discovered the image, leading to the post being flooded with congratulatory comments. It's been some time since the photos were released, but since the woman is a non-celebrity, the photographer likely obtained their permission before sharing them. There's also a possibility that they are just concept photos. However, since rings are rarely us...

 Viewers have again voiced their discontent over a dialog in the latest episode of When the Stars Gossip. A significant point of criticism centers on the dialogue, specifically the lines spoken by Lee Min Ho’s character, a gynecologist. The latest controversy comes from a line Gong Ryong declares. When it comes to sex and getting one pregnant, I am an expert. Although the context was a discussion about a lab experiment with a rat, viewers pointed out that the line still alluded to the character himself. Critics argued that such dialogue contributes little to the narrative and appears to serve only for shock value. They questioned whether the drama's writers were focusing on sensationalism rather than meaningful storytelling.
