Yeo Jin Goo Accidentally Follows Porn Account. Agency Says, ‘Misclick By Staff'
South Korean actor Yeo Jin Goo, best known for his role in Hotel del Luna, is in the headlines, but for all the wrong reasons. He found himself in the middle of a controversy after people online noticed that one of his social media accounts followed an account with NSFW content. The pornographic archive account was seen on the actor's official X account's following list on Thursday, July 24.
He has since unfollowed the account, but the damage was already done. Following a massive backlash since the news went viral, Yeo Jin Goo's agency stepped in to clarify that it was an accidental action by a staff member, not something the actor had done.

Nagarjuna Slapped Me 15 Times, Apologised Later, Recalls Isha Koppikar: ‘I Had Marks On My Face'
Last Updated: While filming the 1998 movie Chandralekha opposite Nagarjuna, Isha revealed that she was slapped multiple times at her own request in order to bring authenticity to a scene. Isha Koppikar recently opened up about a shocking behind-the-scenes moment from her early acting days. While filming the 1998 movie Chandralekha opposite South superstar Nagarjuna, Isha revealed that she was slapped multiple times at her own request in order to bring authenticity to a scene. Speaking to Hindi Rush, Isha said, 'I got slapped by Nagarjuna. I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, method way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn't feel it. This was my second film, so I told him 'Nag, you really slap me.' He said, 'Are you sure? No, I can't.' I said, 'I want that feeling. I am not feeling it right now.' So he slapped me, but softly." Isha explained that she was unable to capture the anger required for the scene, and the camera wasn't catching her expression properly. As a result, the director kept asking for more takes. In the process, she ended up being slapped 14–15 times. 'In an attempt to look angry, I got slapped 14 times," she said. By the end of the shoot, Isha had visible marks on her face. She added, 'I literally had marks on my face. Bechara mujhe leke baitha, bola sorry (Poor guy, he apologised to me). I said, 'I asked for it, why are you saying sorry?'" While the incident may sound extreme, Isha's candid admission reveals the intense dedication many actors commit to for a role—especially early in their careers. The scene required a raw emotional response, and Isha felt method acting was the only way to achieve it. Isha Koppikar, known for her performances in films like Krishna Cottage, Pinjar, Kya Kool Hain Hum, and Don, was most recently seen in the Tamil sci-fi film Ayalaan (2024). Despite having worked across multiple industries, this moment from her second film remains one of the most unforgettable in her journey. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
