Kim Byung-man is preparing to tie the knot again after successfully clearing himself of allegations regarding the assault of his ex-wife. The comedian is set to remarry a non-celebrity woman in September, with plans for a quiet ceremony attended by family and close friends. 

This news has brought past controversies back into the spotlight, particularly due to ongoing disputes with his ex-wife. Kim was previously married in 2011 to a woman seven years his senior, but they announced their divorce in 2023. Their separation followed a lengthy legal battle that began with divorce proceedings in 2019, culminating in their official split in 2020.

In November of last year, allegations surfaced claiming that Kim assaulted his ex-wife, referred to as A. This situation was complicated by the fact that their daughter was registered under Kim's family registry, necessitating a legal process for her adoption. However, in November, Kim was cleared of the assault charges by the prosecution, who ruled there was no evidence against him. His agency, Sky Turtle, confirmed that he received this ruling from the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office on November 19, 2024. 

As of today, Kim is reportedly in the final stages of settling property division and the adoption process concerning his daughter with A. Online reactions have varied, with many netizens expressing support, saying things like, "He must have gone through a lot," and "Wishing him a happy marriage ahead!"

The day has arrived for the impeachment ruling of President Yoon Seok-yeol, with major broadcasting networks adjusting their schedules to accommodate special news coverage. The Constitutional Court is set to announce its decision on the impeachment trial at 11 AM on April 4, 2025.

If the court upholds the impeachment motion, President Yoon will be removed from office; if dismissed, he will immediately return to his duties. Notably, President Yoon has opted not to attend the ruling. In anticipation of potential unrest following the announcement, police have declared a nationwide emergency response, mobilizing all available forces to maintain order.

This ruling comes 111 days after the National Assembly approved the impeachment motion on December 14, 2024. The Constitutional Court has held two preparatory sessions and eleven hearings since then, with the first hearing taking place on December 22, 2024, and the final arguments on February 25, 2025.

As the nation awaits the court's decision, broadcasting companies are in a state of heightened alert. Major networks are prioritizing news specials to cover the political landscape following the ruling, leading to the cancellation of various entertainment programs and dramas.

MBC has postponed the premiere of its new Friday-Saturday drama, Bunny and Brothers (바니와 오빠들), which follows the romantic escapades of Bunny as she navigates relationships with attractive men after a failed first love. The only program from MBC that will air is I Live Alone (나 혼자 산다), while all others will be replaced by news coverage.

KBS will focus on the political situation post-impeachment on its 1TV channel, resulting in the cancellation of the daily drama Let's Get Married (결혼하자 맹꽁아). However, KBS's 2TV will continue to air Music Bank (뮤직뱅크), Cinderella Game (신데렐라 게임), Newly Released Menu Restaurant (신상출시 편스토랑), and The Seasons - Park Bo-gum's Cantabile (더 시즌즈-박보검의 칸타빌레).

SBS has also canceled Curious Story Y (궁금한 이야기 Y) in favor of news specials, but the 13th episode of the drama Treasure Island (보물섬) will still air at 9:50 PM. This drama features Seo Dong-joo (박형식) as he seeks revenge against a powerful enemy after hacking a political slush fund worth 2 trillion won.

Additionally, Channel A has canceled My Precious Child (금쪽같은 내 새끼) and Heart Pairing (하트 페어링) for news coverage, while MBN will continue to air Plan JH (전현무계획2) without any changes to its schedule.

Impeachment Ruling Day for President Yoon Seok-yeol Arrives, Major Broadcast Changes Implemented

As the impeachment ruling for President Yoon Suk-yeol draws near, tension fills the air around the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Supporters of President Yoon have gathered, chanting "Impeachment Invalid" as they await the verdict. 

Starting at 10 AM on April 4, the Liberty Unification Party, led by Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon, is holding a rally near the Volvo Building, close to the presidential residence. By 9 AM, police estimates indicated that around 1,200 people had gathered, with more expected to join. The rally organizers have reported an anticipated turnout of 50,000 participants opposing the impeachment.

The area around the presidential residence began to fill with attendees around 8 AM, many holding Korean and American flags, sitting resolutely as they awaited the live broadcast of the impeachment ruling. 

Chants of "Dismiss the Impeachment" and "Impeachment Invalid" echoed throughout the crowd. Some participants held placards with messages such as "Come Back, Yoon Suk-yeol," "The Train of Justice for Lee Jae-myung is Broken," and "Chief Justice Moon Hyung-bae Must Resign." Flags with slogans like "Death for Election Fraud" and "Abolish Early Voting" were also visible.

One speaker on stage declared, "When the Constitutional Court's ruling is announced at 11 AM, our President Yoon Suk-yeol will return," suggesting that he might come out to greet his supporters. This statement was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers from the crowd.

A banner reading "Hope for a Free Democratic Republic of Korea, Welcome Back President Yoon Suk-yeol" was displayed at the rally. One supporter expressed confidence, stating, "Today, the dismissal will be 5, and the acceptance will be 3, so the impeachment will ultimately be dismissed."

Approximately 500 meters away, at the Ilshin Building, pro-impeachment groups, including Candlelight Action, are holding their own rally. They are seen holding signs that read "Death or Dismissal" and "Immediate Dismissal of Yoon Suk-yeol," calling for action against what they describe as insurrectionist forces.

These demonstrators occupied one lane of Hanam-daero, chanting for Yoon's dismissal. By 9 AM, police estimates indicated around 300 participants at this rally, with organizers reporting an expected turnout of 20,000.

Authorities anticipate that around 50,000 citizens will gather in the Hannam-dong area, deploying 28 riot police units and approximately 2,000 officers to prevent potential clashes. Additionally, the nearby Hangangjin Station on Subway Line 6 has been bypassed by trains since 9 AM due to the large crowds.


윤석열 대통령의 탄핵 판결이 다가오면서 서울 용산구 한남동 대통령 관저 주변에 긴장감이 감돌고 있다. 윤 대통령의 지지자들이 "탄핵 무효"를 외치며 판결을 기다리고 있다.

4월 4일 오전 10시부터 전광훈 목사가 이끄는 자유통일당이 대통령 관저 인근 볼보 빌딩에서 집회를 열고 있다. 오전 9시 경찰 추산에 따르면 약 1,200명이 모였으며, 더 많은 인원이 합류할 것으로 예상된다. 집회 주최 측은 탄핵에 반대하는 50,000명의 참가자가 예상된다고 보고했다.

대통령 관저 주변은 오전 8시경부터 참석자들로 가득 차기 시작했으며, 많은 이들이 한국과 미국 국기를 들고 단호하게 앉아 탄핵 판결의 생중계를 기다리고 있다.

"탄핵을 기각하라"와 "탄핵 무효"라는 구호가 군중 속에서 울려 퍼졌다. 일부 참가자들은 "윤석열 돌아와라", "이재명 정의의 기차가 멈췄다", "대법원장 문형배 사퇴하라"는 메시지가 적힌 플래카드를 들고 있었다. "선거 사기 사형"과 "조기 투표 폐지"와 같은 슬로건이 적힌 깃발도 눈에 띄었다.

무대 위의 한 연설자는 "헌법재판소의 판결이 오전 11시에 발표되면 우리 윤석열 대통령이 돌아올 것"이라고 선언하며, 그가 지지자들을 맞이할 것임을 암시했다. 이 발언은 군중의 열렬한 박수와 환호로 이어졌다.

"자유 민주 공화국의 희망, 윤석열 대통령 환영합니다"라는 배너가 집회에서 펼쳐졌다. 한 지지자는 "오늘 기각이 5, 수용이 3이니 탄핵은 결국 기각될 것"이라고 자신감을 표명했다.

약 500미터 떨어진 일신 빌딩에서는 촛불 행동을 포함한 찬탄핵 그룹들이 자신들의 집회를 열고 있다. 그들은 "사형 또는 해임"과 "윤석열 즉각 해임"이라는 문구가 적힌 표지판을 들고 있으며, 그들이 묘사하는 반란 세력에 대한 행동을 촉구하고 있다.

이 시위자들은 한남대로의 한 차선을 점거하며 윤 대통령의 해임을 외치고 있다. 오전 9시 경찰 추산에 따르면 이 집회에는 약 300명이 참가했으며, 주최 측은 20,000명의 참가자가 예상된다고 보고했다.

당국은 한남동 지역에 약 50,000명의 시민이 모일 것으로 예상하고 있으며, 잠재적인 충돌을 방지하기 위해 28개의 기동 경찰 부대와 약 2,000명의 경찰을 배치하고 있다. 또한, 인근 6호선 한강진역은 대규모 인파로 인해 오전 9시부터 열차가 우회하고 있다.

Tension Mounts as Impeachment Verdict for President Yoon Approaches

Lee Sol-i, the wife of comedian Park Sung-kwang, recently shared her struggles with cancer during her appearance on SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 (동상이몽2-너는 내 운명)' on April 2. She revealed the emotional toll of facing malicious comments and misinformation online.

Currently battling female cancer, Lee recounted, "After resigning from my job, I was naturally preparing for a child, but just five months later, I was diagnosed with cancer. Due to the nature of female cancer, I was unable to conceive, and I felt immense guilt for not being able to protect my health, which made me deeply sorry to my parents and in-laws. The prognosis was grim, and I faced significant despair, not knowing if I would live for another year or three."

She continued, "I underwent six months of surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy, which required me to be cautious about going out. I couldn't eat, experienced daily vomiting, lost weight, and my skin deteriorated. I lost my hair and spent a lot of time in the emergency room. It was an incredibly tough period, and I am still on medication and undergoing treatment. This is why I have not been able to have children, and that situation continues."

Lee explained her decision to speak out about her condition, stating, "I was deeply hurt by being portrayed as a 'luxurious woman,' 'a woman who doesn't want children,' and 'a woman who uses her husband like an ATM' in sensational articles and distorted views."

Her courageous revelation has garnered widespread support. Lee expressed, "I sometimes wonder if I was too absorbed in my own feelings, and I feel sorry for my husband and family. I worry that my struggles might cast a shadow over my husband, who finds joy in making people laugh. There have been misleading reports suggesting I might not have long to live, but that is not true."

Reflecting on the day she received her diagnosis, Lee said, "I can never forget that day. After experiencing pain that felt like death, I realized that death is closer than we think and is not just someone else's issue. Life is a blessing, a gift, and fleeting. Now, if there are people I want to see, I make sure to see them; if there are words I want to say, I say them; and if there are feelings I want to express, I express them. My motto has become 'a life with fewer regrets.'"

Additionally, Lee shared a glimpse of her life during treatment, posting a photo of neatly arranged cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and bell peppers. She also revealed a picture of her back, showing her hair growing back after shaving it during chemotherapy, humorously noting, "My husband took this picture when my hair started to grow back after chemotherapy, and it looked like an acorn."

Park Sung-kwang and Lee Sol-i tied the knot on August 15, 2020, and have shared their daily lives on 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2.'

K-pop girl group Kiss of Life has found itself embroiled in a racial controversy following a live broadcast celebrating member Julie's birthday. During the event on April 2, the group showcased a styling concept inspired by old-school hip-hop, particularly focusing on Black female rappers. This choice has drawn significant criticism from international fans, who accused the group of perpetuating racial stereotypes. Critics pointed out that the group's use of a Black vernacular appeared to be caricatured, and they also took issue with the appropriation of culturally sensitive hairstyles, which were treated as mere accessories. Additionally, the name 'Lil Taco' used in the broadcast was seen as mocking the naming conventions of Black individuals.

This is not the first time Kiss of Life has faced scrutiny regarding racial issues. In the past, member Julie had covered a song containing derogatory remarks about Black individuals during her trainee days, which led to a previous apology from the group. The recurrence of such controversies has heightened the attention surrounding this latest incident.

In response to the backlash, the group's agency, S2 Entertainment, issued an apology via their official social media channels. They acknowledged the use of expressions and styles that align with racial stereotypes in the birthday content, stating, "The content was created with the intention of respecting old-school hip-hop culture. However, we failed to recognize that it could reinforce stereotypes about specific races."

The agency further expressed sincere apologies to anyone who felt uncomfortable due to the content and emphasized that the members are taking the matter seriously. They committed to approaching cultural elements with greater care and respect in the future, and announced plans to delete the related content.

Here is the full statement from Kiss of Life regarding the racial controversy:

"Hello, this is S2 Entertainment. We apologize for using expressions and styles that follow racial stereotypes in the birthday content uploaded on April 2. The content was created based on old-school hip-hop style, and we aimed to express the atmosphere of this culture with respect. However, we did not fully recognize that it could be perceived as reinforcing stereotypes about specific races. We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt discomfort due to this. The members are taking this matter seriously, and we will approach cultural elements with more caution and respect in the future. Accordingly, we plan to delete all related content. We apologize once again to those who were hurt by this. Thank you."

K-팝 걸그룹 키스 오브 라이프가 멤버 줄리의 생일을 축하하는 라이브 방송 이후 인종 논란에 휘말렸다. 4월 2일에 열린 이 행사에서 그룹은 구식 힙합에서 영감을 받은 스타일링 컨셉을 선보였으며, 특히 흑인 여성 래퍼들에 초점을 맞췄다. 이 선택은 국제 팬들로부터 상당한 비판을 받았으며, 팬들은 그룹이 인종적 고정관념을 지속시키고 있다고 주장했다. 비평가들은 그룹의 흑인 방언 사용이 풍자적으로 보였다고 지적했으며, 문화적으로 민감한 헤어스타일을 단순한 액세서리로 취급한 점에 대해서도 문제를 제기했다. 또한 방송에서 사용된 '릴 타코'라는 이름은 흑인 개인의 이름 규칙을 조롱하는 것으로 여겨졌다.

키스 오브 라이프가 인종 문제로 비판을 받은 것은 이번이 처음이 아니다. 과거에 멤버 줄리는 연습생 시절 흑인 개인에 대한 경멸적인 발언이 포함된 곡을 커버한 적이 있으며, 이로 인해 그룹은 이전에 사과한 바 있다. 이러한 논란의 재발은 이번 사건에 대한 관심을 더욱 높였다.

반발에 대한 응답으로, 그룹의 소속사 S2 엔터테인먼트는 공식 소셜 미디어 채널을 통해 사과를 발표했다. 그들은 생일 콘텐츠에서 인종적 고정관념에 부합하는 표현과 스타일을 사용한 점을 인정하며, "이 콘텐츠는 구식 힙합 문화를 존중하는 의도로 제작되었습니다. 그러나 우리는 이것이 특정 인종에 대한 고정관념을 강화할 수 있다는 점을 인식하지 못했습니다."라고 밝혔다.

소속사는 또한 콘텐츠로 인해 불편함을 느낀 모든 이들에게 진심으로 사과하며, 멤버들이 이 문제를 심각하게 받아들이고 있다고 강조했다. 그들은 앞으로 문화적 요소에 대해 더 신중하고 존중하는 태도로 접근할 것을 약속하며, 관련 콘텐츠를 삭제할 계획을 발표했다.

키스 오브 라이프의 인종 논란에 대한 전체 성명은 다음과 같다:

"안녕하세요, S2 엔터테인먼트입니다. 4월 2일에 업로드된 생일 콘텐츠에서 인종적 고정관념을 따르는 표현과 스타일을 사용한 점에 대해 사과드립니다. 이 콘텐츠는 구식 힙합 스타일을 기반으로 제작되었으며, 우리는 이 문화의 분위기를 존중하여 표현하고자 했습니다. 그러나 우리는 이것이 특정 인종에 대한 고정관념을 강화하는 것으로 인식될 수 있다는 점을 충분히 인식하지 못했습니다. 이로 인해 불편함을 느낀 모든 분들께 진심으로 사과드립니다. 멤버들은 이 문제를 심각하게 받아들이고 있으며, 앞으로 문화적 요소에 대해 더 신중하고 존중하는 태도로 접근할 것입니다. 따라서 우리는 모든 관련 콘텐츠를 삭제할 계획입니다. 다시 한 번 이로 인해 상처받은 분들께 사과드립니다. 감사합니다."

K-Pop Group Kiss of Life Faces Backlash Over Racial Controversy

Actor Jung Joon-ho, serving as the co-executive chairman of the Jeonju International Film Festival, has drawn attention during a recent Q&A session. A video posted on the Korea Film YouTube channel on April 2 showcased moments from the press conference announcing the films for the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival, which took place the day before.

During the event, a reporter posed a pointed question regarding the significant budget cuts to the film industry under the Yoon Suk-yeol administration, asking, "Are you aware of the reality behind this? Do you have any awareness of the issues?" Given Jung's role at the festival, the inquiry was particularly relevant, especially as the film industry faces challenging times.

Jung responded calmly, noting that the same question had been raised the previous year. He likened the situation to a family needing to tighten its budget when a business struggles, stating, "If a father's business is in trouble, shouldn't the family also cut back?" Despite his composed reply, the questioning continued, with references to Jung's visit to a nightlife establishment during last year's festival, leading to accusations of him being oblivious to the situation.

In response, Jung clarified, "Isn't it my duty to greet those who support the festival? I only stopped by to express my gratitude after my work was done that day." He also addressed a question comparing the increase in the Ministry of Culture's budget to the cuts in the festival's budget, saying, "Do I need to know all of that? My only intention is to enrich the Jeonju Film Festival. I fully understand your concerns."

Jung's demeanor and responses have sparked a debate among netizens, with some praising his polite approach while others argue that more concrete efforts are needed from him as the festival's executive chairman. As the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival approaches, running from April 30 to May 9, all eyes will be on its developments.

전주국제영화제의 공동 집행위원장으로 활동 중인 배우 정준호가 최근 Q&A 세션에서 주목을 받았다. 4월 2일 한국영화 유튜브 채널에 게시된 영상은 전날 열린 제26회 전주국제영화제의 영화 발표 기자회견에서의 순간들을 담고 있다.

이 행사에서 한 기자는 윤석열 정부 하의 영화 산업에 대한 대규모 예산 삭감에 관한 날카로운 질문을 던지며 "이 현실을 알고 계신가요? 문제에 대한 인식이 있으신가요?"라고 물었다. 정준호의 영화제에서의 역할을 고려할 때, 이 질문은 특히 관련성이 높았다. 영화 산업이 어려운 시기를 겪고 있기 때문이다.

정준호는 차분하게 응답하며, 같은 질문이 작년에도 제기되었다고 언급했다. 그는 상황을 사업이 어려울 때 가족이 예산을 조여야 하는 것에 비유하며 "아버지의 사업이 힘들면 가족도 줄여야 하지 않겠냐?"고 말했다. 그의 침착한 답변에도 불구하고 질문은 계속되었고, 작년 영화제 기간 중 그가 유흥업소를 방문한 것에 대한 언급이 이어지며 그가 상황을 인지하지 못하고 있다는 비난으로 이어졌다.

이에 대해 정준호는 "영화제를 지원하는 분들을 인사하는 것이 제 의무가 아닌가요? 그날 제 일이 끝난 후 감사의 뜻을 전하기 위해 잠시 들렀을 뿐입니다."라고 명확히 했다. 그는 또한 문화부 예산 증가와 영화제 예산 삭감에 대한 질문에 대해 "그 모든 것을 알아야 하나요? 제 의도는 전주영화제를 풍요롭게 하는 것입니다. 여러분의 우려를 충분히 이해합니다."라고 말했다.

정준호의 태도와 응답은 네티즌들 사이에서 논란을 일으켰다. 일부는 그의 공손한 접근을 칭찬하는 반면, 다른 이들은 그가 영화제의 집행위원장으로서 더 구체적인 노력이 필요하다고 주장하고 있다. 제26회 전주국제영화제가 4월 30일부터 5월 9일까지 열리면서, 모든 시선이 그 발전에 집중될 것이다.

K-pop 그룹 Kiss of Life가 4월 2일에 발표한 생일 콘텐츠와 관련된 인종 논란에 대해 공개 사과했다. 그들의 소속사 S2 Entertainment는 특정 인종의 고정관념을 perpetuate하는 표현과 스타일을 사용한 것을 인정했다. 그들은 성명에서 이 콘텐츠가 올드 스쿨 힙합 스타일을 반영하기 위한 것이었으며, 이를 존중하고 기념하고자 했다고 설명했다. 그러나 그들은 이 콘텐츠가 인종 고정관념을 강화할 수 있다는 점을 완전히 인식하지 못했다고 인정했다. 소속사는 이 실수로 인해 불편함을 느낀 모든 이들에게 진심으로 사과한다고 밝혔다. 또한, 멤버들이 이 문제를 심각하게 받아들이고 있으며, 앞으로 문화적 요소에 대해 더 큰 주의와 존중을 가지고 접근할 것이라고 언급했다. 그 결과, 모든 관련 콘텐츠는 삭제될 예정이다. 이 논란은 멤버 줄리의 생일을 축하하는 라이브 방송 중에 발생했으며, 그룹이 힙합 스타일을 채택하고 아프리카계 미국인의 방언을 모방하면서 인종차별 혐의에 휘말리게 되었다.

'M Countdown'에서 '어덜트 스윔'의 데뷔 무대에서 카이는 강력한 솔로 댄스, 댄서 바다리와의 짝 춤, 그리고 그의 '세계적 수준의 공연자'로서의 위상을 보여주는 역동적인 그룹 공연을 선보이며 고품질의 쇼를 펼쳤다.

음악적 재능 외에도 카이는 '전과자: 매일 전과하는 남자'와 '살롱드립'과 같은 다양한 웹 예능 프로그램에 출연하며 긍정적인 이미지를 쌓아왔다. 그의 친근하고 솔직한 매력은 팬들의 마음을 사로잡았다. 4월 21일에 새 미니앨범이 발매될 예정이어서 기대감이 높다.

팬들과의 소통을 더욱 강화하기 위해 'Behind Wait'라는 웹사이트가 앨범 제작 과정을 기록할 예정이며, '웨이트 온 미' 미리보기 캠페인의 일환으로 SM 엔터테인먼트 본사 LED 미디어 월에서 티저 이미지를 볼 수 있어 다가오는 발매에 대한 기대감을 더욱 증폭시키고 있다.
