Did Taecyeon dodge question about YoonA because of past dating rumors? Fans react to awkward reaction
When it comes to K-Pop royalty, few names shine as brightly as 2PM and Girls' Generation. With over a decade of dominance in music, both groups have now extended their reign into television. Several members became major forces in Korean drama. Among them, 2PM's Ok Taecyeon and Girls' Generation's Seohyun have been capturing attention for their roles in the period romance The First Night With The Duke. The duo have been actively promoting the show through interviews and media appearances. But one recent segment stood out. It's not for plot discussion or behind-the-scenes talk, but for an unexpected and hilarious moment that instantly set the internet on fire. Junho and YoonA mention causes a stir During a promotional interview, the host unexpectedly brought up another beloved on-screen pairing: Lee Junho and YoonA from the hit 2023 drama King The Land. With both stars coming from the same idol groups (2PM and Girls' Generation) the comparison was inevitable. But things took a fun turn! The interviewer cheekily asked Taecyeon and Seohyun whether they thought their pairing was better than Junho and YoonA's. Taecyeon visibly froze, caught off guard by the bold question. Seohyun looked amused but quickly turned to him and urged, 'Think carefully!' Her mock-serious tone had viewers in stitches, but the real kicker was Taecyeon's silence. Instead of confidently claiming their pairing as the best, he appeared genuinely stumped. It left Seohyun playfully shocked and disappointed. The two soon burst into laughter, turning what could have been a throwaway moment into a viral clip. Fans connect the dots It didn't take long for fans to start dissecting the exchange. In online forums and comment sections, netizens speculated about the reason behind the duo's flustered behavior. Many pointed out that the Junho–YoonA pairing wasn't just popular because of their drama. It also fueled dating rumors during and after King The Land aired. Moreover, YoonA has also been linked to Taecyeon in past rumors. However, Taecyeon and YoonA personally denied the dating rumors. Similarly, the speculations involving Junho and YoonA were later dismissed by their respective agencies. Speculative articles and fan theories resurface whenever such interactions occur. Fans teased that the silence was louder than words. They imply that both actors might have known too much to speak freely. Though the rumors were debunked, K-Pop fans are known for remembering even the faintest hints from the past. They can turn any awkward reaction into meme-worthy content.

Taecyeon, Seohyun's The First Night with the Duke under police probe for UNESCO heritage site damage, director publicly apologizes
KBS2's recently-released drama The First Night with the Duke has become embroiled in controversy. The series, starring 2PM's Taecyeon and Girls' Generation's Seohyun, is now being investigated by police. Based on a popular web novel, it was expected to charm audiences. However, the production has drawn intense backlash. They are accused of damaging a designated cultural heritage site during its filming process. At the center of the scandal is Byeongsan Seowon, a 16th-century Confucian academy in Andong that was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2019. Site damaged during filming Reports emerged earlier that the drama's props team had drilled nails directly into the wooden structure of Byeongsan Seowon while decorating the set. They allegedly hanged filming equipment or props. This action violated the Cultural Heritage Protection Act. It caused physical damage to a structure that is supposed to be preserved and protected at the highest level. Following an internal investigation by the Cultural Heritage Administration, three individuals from the production's props team were found to have violated heritage protection laws. They were officially referred to the prosecution. The Seoul Metropolitan Police are now conducting a formal probe into the incident. Production team relocates Amid public uproar and condemnation from cultural experts and citizens alike, the production halted all activities at Byeongsan Seowon and moved filming to a new location in Hadong, South Gyeongsang Province. Despite the swift relocation, criticism has not abated. Many have voiced frustration over the apparent carelessness of the production crew, especially given the known historical value of Byeongsan Seowon. Heritage advocates argue that such negligence could have lasting effects on Korea's reputation for preserving its cultural landmarks. Director speaks out On June 11, the cast and crew held a press conference in Seoul on the same day of the drama's premiere. Director Lee Woong Hee addressed the controversy directly and issued a public apology. He accepted responsibility for the incident. 'We deeply disappointed many people due to the cultural heritage damage incident at Byeongsan Seowon during the production process,' he said. 'I want to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize. It was clearly our fault.' Lee further revealed that KBS has since discarded all footage shot at the heritage site. He emphasized that the network has now implemented strict new guidelines for filming at culturally sensitive locations. 'I'm not trying to boast about taking responsibility,' he added. 'We're currently under investigation by the Cultural Heritage Administration and the police, and I just want to say we've taken the best possible measures we could at this stage.' Due to the delicate nature of the damage, immediate restoration work has been delayed. Experts advised that the wooden structure of Byeongsan Seowon needs to be monitored closely over time to determine the full extent of the impact.
