Popular among many, and a household name for many Squid Game actor Lee Jung Jae faces criminal allegations of fraud. Here are all the details you need to know! I have watched Squid Game season one like many, and during the series I got to love the actor Lee Jung Jae. Of course, playing one of the main parts in Squid Game for the actor was a well paid job, however outside of his work, and before the release of Squid Game season 2 in December, some allegations have come about, that the actor has been involved in fraud. The complaint, lodged by Kim Dong Rae, CEO of the KOSDAQ-listed drama studio RaemongRaein , accuses Lee and Park In Kyu, the former CEO of WYSIWYG Studios , of fraud under the Specific Economic Crimes Act. According to Kim, Lee and Park misled him by claiming that their involvement as major shareholders would significantly boost RaemongRaein’s growth, prompting him to transfer his shares. However, after obtaining the shares, Lee and Park allegedly tried to exclude Kim from the company’s management. Kim further alleged that, despite agreeing to jointly manage the company, Lee and Park did not honour this commitment. So would someone with such a high profile career really make false accusations? This is the question that I have been wondering since I heard the story. Well according to Kim’s allegations, Park and Lee made false claims where they convinced the former to involve the duo as major shareholders and this will result in his company’s growth. Kim, therefore, transferred his shares to them. However, he accused Lee and Park of trying to remove him from the company’s management, so why would the star do this? Lee Jung Jae’s team has denied all allegations and stated there was no breach of the contract which only mentioned the transfer of management rights which were agreed upon with mutual consent. The actor’s representatives established there was little contact between them and Kim before and after the signing of the contract. Lee has countersued the CEO for making false allegations of fraud. The police station in-charge has questioned Kim regarding the case and will call Lee and the former CEO next. I believe that of course there was some transaction and deal made between the pair, however perhaps the CEO back tracked at the last minute, and by then the Squid Game actor decided that he of course still wanted to proceed with the deal and went ahead and carried out financial activities. Either way, this has come about just before the release of series 2 of Squid Game , which has captured a global audience. Let us know your thoughts on this topic in the comments below.

Mi Rae has a stable job in the mega city of Seoul, and Mi Ji is still trying to figure out her life while taking on various part time jobs to support herself along the way. As the show progresses, the storyline also gets more interesting when the twins decide it's time to swap life's with each other. This made the Dojeon team feel hooked, and it reminded some of the team of the Lindsay Lohan film Parent Swap .

Park Bo Gum, Shin Dong Yup and Suzy at the 61st Baeksang Awards (Image via X/@suzylegacy) The 61st Baeksang Arts Awards , held on May 5, celebrated outstanding talent and content across film, television, and OTT platforms. Only works released between April 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, were eligible for nomination. The star-studded evening saw appearances by top celebrities including Byeon Woo Seok , Kim Hye Yoon , Hyun Bin , Kim Tae Ri , IU , and Ju Ji Hoon , among many others. Fans tuned in eagerly, waiting to see if their favorite stars and dramas would take home trophies in the major categories. While the ceremony was well-received overall, with organizers ensuring that most nominees and attendees felt acknowledged, some fans were left surprised and disappointed by a few results. Certain wins sparked debate, with many feeling that other nominees were just as deserving. Here, we highlight six Baeksang Awards snubs from the 2025 ceremony — moments where the award could have easily gone to someone else.  Note: This list isn’t meant to discredit the winners but rather to spotlight other outstanding performances and works that were equally worthy of recognition. Best Drama - When Life Gives You Tangerines The official poster for When Life Gives You Tangerines (Image via Netflix). Who else deserved it: Lovely Runner There’s no denying that When Life Gives You Tangerines   is a beautifully crafted and emotionally moving drama. However, Lovely Runner , starring Byeon Woo Seok  and Kim Hye Yoon , could have easily taken home the award as well. The drama resonated deeply with audiences with its heartfelt storytelling, sensitive portrayal of mental health, and standout performances. Romantic dramas rarely receive top honors at major award shows, but Lovely Runner  broke through cultural barriers and had a significant global impact, making it a worthy contender for the win.    Best Actor – Ju Ji Hoon: The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call Ju Ji Hoon in a still from The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call . (Image credits: Netflix) Who else deserved it: Han Suk Kyu - Doubt There’s no doubt that Ju Ji Hoon  delivered a powerful performance as trauma specialist Baek Kang Hyuk. However, Han Suk Kyu was equally exceptional in Doubt , portraying top criminal profiler Jang Tae Su - a single father whose world is shaken when he suspects his daughter’s involvement in a case he's investigating. The role demanded emotional depth, restraint, and moral complexity, and Han Suk Kyu rose to the challenge with the finesse only a veteran actor can bring. Doubt  showcased his decades-long mastery of the craft, making him a strong contender for the award. Best Actress – Kim Tae Ri: Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born Kim Tae Ri in a still from Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born (Image Credits: tvN) Who else deserved it: IU - When Life Gives You Tangerines Kim Tae Ri  continues to prove she’s one of the most accomplished actresses of her generation, delivering a powerful and emotionally rich performance in Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born . However, many fans were disappointed that  IU  did not take the award home. In When Life Gives You Tangerines , she portrayed both the mother and daughter versions of her character with exceptional depth and grace. Her performance was certainly one for the ages.  Best New Actor – Choo Young Woo: The Tale of Lady Ok  Choo Young Woo in a still from The Tale of Lady Ok (Image Credits: JTBC) Who else deserved it: Cha Woo Min - Study Group Choo Young Woo  had a standout year, impressing audiences with his performances in both The Tale of Lady Ok  and The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call . His growing range and screen presence mark him as one of the most exciting emerging talents in the Korean entertainment industry. That said, Cha Woo Min also delivered a breakout performance as the sharp and menacing Pi Han Wool in the gritty young adult drama Study Group .  His intensity and control on screen stood out, making a strong case for recognition in the Best New Actor category. Best New Actress – Chae Won Bin: Doubt Chae Won Bin in a still from Doubt  (Image Credit: MBC) Who else deserved it: Jo Yoon Soo - The Tyrant It’s an exciting era for young actresses in the Korean entertainment industry, with a wider range of complex, dynamic roles being written than ever before. Chae Won Bin delivered a strong performance in Doubt  as a daughter harboring a dark secret that threatens to unravel her bond with her father. However, Jo Yoon Soo also gave a standout performance in The Tyrant  as Chae Ja Gyeong, a cold yet compelling assassin entrusted with a critical mission. Acting alongside heavyweights like Kim Seon Ho , Kim Kang Woo, and Cha Seung Won , Jo Yoon Soo held her own with remarkable poise and presence, firmly establishing herself as a rising talent to watch. Best Director – Song Yeon Hwa: Doubt Song Yeon Hwa wins Best Director for Doubt (X: @ VanMiho) Who else deserved it: Kim Hee Won- Light Shop Doubt  and Light Shop  emerged as genre-defining Korean dramas over the past year. Song Yeon Hwa earned well-deserved acclaim for her sharp, gripping direction in Doubt , crafting a tense psychological thriller that held audiences in suspense from start to finish. Meanwhile, Kim Hee Won delivered a compelling vision in Light Shop , a mystery-horror drama built on an inventive and emotionally layered premise. His direction infused the story with a haunting elegance, offering viewers a fresh and resonant take on the genre.  All of these dramas are available for streaming on major domestic and international platforms such as Netflix , Prime Video, and Disney+.

Written by the same author of Lee Min Ho's upcoming drama Ask the Stars , Kim Jung Hyun, and Keum Sae Rok reunite after eight years in KBS2's new highly-anticipated romantic/family series Iron Family ! We give you the details of why this drama has us intrigued and has us waiting for more! Airing on September 28, 2024, Iron Family is set to be one of the must-watch K-dramas this year, and for good reason! Staring household names such as Kim Jung Hyun ( Mr. Queen 2020 — 2021) and Keum Sae Rok ( Youth of May 2021), this story of love and conflict portrays the modern hardworking Korean family at its best! Let's check out the teaser images from the drama! This story of love and conflicts follows three generations of laundry business owners and mindsets have changed over time, which should help the business adapt to modern times. The 3rd generation business takes an unexpected financial windfall (how lucky for them). The drama mainly centers around Da Rim's family ( Keum Sae Rok ) as they work through the challenges and changes that are brought to them by this sudden fate and twist. Let's check out this trailer below! Having watched the trailer, I find it funny how it is filmed, although the storyline should be easy to follow and that of a feel-good end-of-the-night drama. I think it will be interesting to see how different generations of Koreans adapt to the windfall in terms of how they view spending money, as generations have different views on how money should be spent. Synopsis Seo Kang Joo ( Kim Jung Hyun ) is the son of the wealthiest family in the Cheongreyom neighborhood and is currently the senior director of the Jiseung Group. Eight years ago, Seo Kang Joo and Lee Da Rim attended the same university and had an unforgettable experience before Kang Joo enlisted for his mandatory military service. Why we think this drama will be a hit I also think that this drama will hit home with many young Koreans, showing the generational differences. Iron Family is confirmed to premiere on KBS2 on September 28, 2024 . The show will air every Saturday and Sunday. The series will only be 36 episodes, breaking the initial rumors that the show will be a draw dropping 50 episodes long. Will you be tuning in to watch this new K-romance drama?
