On April 2, 2025, during a special segment titled 'Law Bless You' on MBC's Radio Star (라디오스타), divorce attorney Yang Na-rae (양나래) shared intriguing insights into various infidelity cases. She noted, "Most suspicions of infidelity don't arise without reason. For instance, if someone frequently checks their phone or takes too long to return from errands, it's better to observe rather than confront them directly." 

Yang recounted a particularly striking case involving a mother and her elementary school daughter watching a romantic scene on TV. The daughter innocently asked, "What does it mean when people kiss?" Yang explained that such gestures are typical among people in love. To her surprise, the daughter responded, "So, does that mean Dad and Auntie are in love too?" This revelation shocked those present, as it hinted at a potential affair between the mother’s sister and her husband.

In another shocking example, Yang described a situation where a husband noticed his wife returning from the gym looking refreshed and glowing. Upon further investigation, he discovered that while she claimed to be at the gym, she was actually meeting her personal trainer in the car for intimate encounters. 

Yang further revealed that the husband followed his wife to a lodging facility, where he saw her entering with another man. A look at her phone revealed a list of seven men's names, along with their details, which left everyone astounded. She concluded by stating that it is possible to file for damages in an affair lawsuit, noting that some of the men were unaware that they were involved with married women, while others were fully aware of the situation.

Actress Park Han-byul (41) has opened up about her decision not to divorce her husband, Yoo Mo, who was implicated in the Burning Sun scandal. In an episode of TV Chosun's 'Dad and Me' aired on April 1, she shared her feelings during that tumultuous time, stating, "My story was everywhere—on TV, on phones, and in every conversation I had. I felt powerless, and each day felt like hell." 

She expressed that it felt surreal, saying, "I often thought, 'Do I have to die for this to end?' I could hardly sleep, yet I had to continue filming, which was agonizing." 

Park revealed that even her mother-in-law urged her to consider divorce, crying as she did so. However, she emphasized the importance of providing a stable emotional environment for her children, stating, "The child has done nothing wrong, and I made this choice because I value my family." 

She also mentioned feeling a heavy sense of responsibility as a wife due to her husband's situation, saying, "I feel a lot of anxiety and fear just being on this show. I feel sorry for everything that's happened." 

Park Han-byul married Yoo Mo in 2017 and they have two children together. Yoo was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison with a 3-year probation for embezzlement and facilitating prostitution while he was a business partner of singer Seungri. He withdrew his appeal in 2021, finalizing his sentence. Since the scandal, Park has halted all entertainment activities and has been running a café in Jeju Island.

The brother of the late Sulli, a former member of the girl group f(x), has stirred controversy by naming several celebrities in a series of claims. He revealed that Sulli had a relationship with P.O, a member of Block B, for about a year, and alleged that IU had given Sulli the script for the film 'Real'. 

On April 2, Sulli's brother made headlines by discussing her past romance with P.O during a live broadcast, which coincided with a press conference held by Kim Soo-hyun regarding his own personal controversies. This revelation has led to renewed speculation about P.O and Sulli's relationship, especially given the sensitive context of Sulli's passing. P.O's agency, Artist Company, responded to the claims, stating, "We cannot confirm matters related to the actor's private life. We cannot verify the past relationship with the deceased as it is a private matter."

The mention of P.O's name has intensified the discussion surrounding the alleged romance, marking the first time such claims have surfaced since Sulli's death. Fans have expressed concern that discussing Sulli in this manner is disrespectful. 

Sulli's brother did not stop there; he also named other celebrities, including IU, Goo Hara, Kim Sae-ron, Han Ji-eun, Suzy, and Ahn So-hee, in his social media posts. He claimed that IU had a close relationship with Sulli and had introduced her to a psychiatrist. Additionally, he raised questions about the filming of 'Real', suggesting that Sulli faced significant physical and mental challenges during production, and hinted at possible coercion regarding her exposure scenes. 

These statements have drawn criticism for being reckless and invasive, as they involve the private lives of Sulli's colleagues without substantial evidence. Observers are concerned that such revelations may lead to sensationalism rather than constructive dialogue about the issues at hand.

On April 1, global beauty brand Y.O.U BEAUTY GLOBAL announced the termination of its partnership with actor Kim Soo-hyun amid ongoing controversies surrounding his personal life, including grooming allegations related to the late Kim Sae-ron. 

Y.O.U BEAUTY had appointed Kim Soo-hyun as a beauty ambassador in 2022, praising him as one of the most successful actors in Korea and expressing confidence that he would inspire others to pursue their dreams with positivity and confidence. However, following recent scandals, the brand released a statement on its official account regarding the partnership. 

The statement emphasized Y.O.U's commitment to prioritizing the well-being and interests of all women, stating, "We encourage women to step forward with newfound confidence and a radiant life, and we do not tolerate any actions that undermine our brand values." 

After careful consideration, Y.O.U BEAUTY decided to end its partnership with Kim Soo-hyun and is taking immediate action to remove all materials related to him from their platforms, stating they will pursue all necessary legal actions if required. The brand has already deleted all photos and posts featuring Kim Soo-hyun from its accounts. 

Meanwhile, the family of the late Kim Sae-ron has made claims through the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, alleging that Kim Soo-hyun had a relationship with Kim Sae-ron from 2015, when she was a minor, for six years. They have demanded compensation of 700 million KRW for damages related to a drunk driving incident and have sent two legal notices, claiming Kim Soo-hyun was negligent in addressing the situation. They also released alleged intimate photos, videos, letters, and messages exchanged between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Sae-ron, demanding an apology and acknowledgment from Kim Soo-hyun's side. 

In response, Kim Soo-hyun held a press conference on March 31, tearfully denying the allegations, stating, "We dated for about a year, five years ago, before 'Queen of Tears' aired four years ago. I did not have a relationship with her when she was a minor." He also refuted claims regarding messages exchanged during Kim Sae-ron's minor years, asserting that the individuals in the conversations from 2016 and 2018 were different people. 

Kim Soo-hyun's legal representative, attorney Kim Jong-bok from LK Partners, announced that they have filed a defamation lawsuit against the family and the operators of Garosero Research Institute, claiming violations of the Information and Communications Network Act and seeking 12 billion KRW in damages.

On April 2, 2025, actor Kim Soo-hyun has officially filed a complaint against Kim Se-yeol, the operator of the YouTube channel ‘가로세로연구소’ (Garo Sero Research Institute), for violating stalking laws. Kim Soo-hyun's legal representatives from LK Partners announced that both he and a gold medalist have taken this action due to ongoing harassment.

The complaint follows a series of broadcasts by Garo Sero, which began on March 10, 2025, with a sensational title claiming that Kim Soo-hyun was involved in the death of actress Kim Sae-ron, alleging a six-year relationship that started when she was just 15. The channel has reportedly aired content about Kim Soo-hyun daily, except for one day, spreading false information.

Kim Soo-hyun's team stated that Garo Sero has indiscriminately shared images and videos of the actor, including private letters and messages, on their YouTube channel. They emphasized that the only way to stop such 'cyber harassment' is through strict investigation and punishment.

Furthermore, the gold medalist has refuted all claims made by Garo Sero regarding the alleged relationship with Kim Sae-ron, asserting that the accusations are entirely false and based on manipulated evidence. They plan to continue to respond firmly to any further dissemination of false information by Garo Sero.

In related news, Kim Sae-ron was found deceased at her home in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on February 16, 2025. Following her funeral, her family claimed through Garo Sero that she had been in a relationship with Kim Soo-hyun since she was 15 years old.

On April 2, a production briefing for the occult action film 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' (거룩한 밤: 데몬 헌터스) was held at Lotte Cinema in Kondae, Seoul. The event featured Ma Dong-seok, who plays the role of Bau, a dark problem-solver who uses his fists to exorcise evil, alongside Seo Hyun as Sharon, a special ability exorcist, Lee Da-wit as Kim-gun, a multi-player who tracks demons, Kyung Soo-jin as Jung-won, who seeks exorcism, and Jung Ji-so as Eun-seo, Jung-won's sister possessed by a demon. Director Lim Dae-hee also attended the event.

'Holy Night' tells the story of a city thrown into chaos by a cult that worships evil, with a team of dark problem-solvers taking on the task of eliminating the forces of evil. Following the success of last year's occult film 'The Cursed: Dead Man's Prey' (파묘) and this year's hit animated film 'The Exorcist' (퇴마록), 'Holy Night' is set to further explore the occult genre in theaters this April.

Notably, Ma Dong-seok, known for his signature fist-fighting action in the 'Crime City' series, adds an occult twist to his character in 'Holy Night.' After achieving a record of over 10 million admissions with 'Crime City 4' (범죄도시4), he faced criticism for the declining quality of the series. In response, he announced a hiatus for the 'Crime City' series to reinvent his image with 'Holy Night,' which incorporates elements of the occult.

Ma Dong-seok, who not only stars in but also produced and planned the film, expressed his excitement about working with director Lim Dae-hee, who specializes in horror films. He stated, "I thought it would be great to mix action and fantasy into an occult film. I watched thousands of horror films from various countries while planning this project, and I wanted to incorporate different elements that resonate with different eras."

Director Lim Dae-hee, who has even written a thesis on the occult genre, shared his gratitude for Ma Dong-seok's support during the filming process, especially since it was his directorial debut. He noted, "I still have a lot to learn, but I analyzed several occult films to write my thesis. I lacked experience in action scenes, but Ma Dong-seok helped me a lot. It was an honor to work with him."

Ma Dong-seok acknowledged the challenge of avoiding self-repetition in his character portrayal, stating, "While my character has familiar traits, there are also fantasy elements. I will be playing a dark problem-solver with hidden secrets. The film includes boxing action, wire work, and special effects, and we faced some injuries during filming. We aimed to find new aspects of the fist-fighting action that fans expect from me."

Seo Hyun, who received the casting offer and responded within two hours, shared her enthusiasm for the project, saying, "I couldn't hesitate. The script was so interesting, and I wanted to work with Ma Dong-seok. I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm grateful to be part of my first commercial film with him. I plan to watch it in theaters multiple times when it releases."

Jung Ji-so expressed her love for the occult genre and the challenges of portraying a character that instills fear, stating, "This is my first time playing a character that scares others, and it was tough. However, Ma Dong-seok was very considerate behind the scenes."

Ma Dong-seok praised the chemistry among the cast, saying, "The chemistry is fantastic. While the film has a horror element, our interactions are great. We're even working on a webtoon to build the world of the film, and I would love to work with this team again."

'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' features a talented cast including Ma Dong-seok, Seo Hyun, Lee Da-wit, Kyung Soo-jin, and Jung Ji-so, marking director Lim Dae-hee's feature film debut. The film is set to be released on April 30.
