Despite Kim Sae-ron scandal, Kim Soo-hyun remains No. 1 in star rankings for fifth straight week
Kim Soo-hyun, currently one of the most talked-about figures in South Korea's entertainment scene, has held onto his No. 1 spot in the Star Ranking poll for male actors for the fifth consecutive week. During the 115th voting round, held from May 29 at 3:01 PM to June 5 at 3:00 PM, he amassed a total of 182,051 votes. Trailing behind him were King the Land star Lee Jun Ho in second place with 63,618 votes, and Lovely Runner actor Byun Woo Seok in third with 17,117 votes. View this post on Instagram What is Star Ranking and its rewards Star Ranking is a weekly fan-voting platform that allows fans to vote for their favorite celebrities. Fans who vote receive digital certificates, and those who top the rankings are rewarded with various promotional benefits. Any star who maintains the No. 1 position for four consecutive weeks is rewarded with a feature on an LED billboard advertisement. Additionally, fans are encouraged to submit proposals for extra fan-support video ads to celebrate their favorite celebrities. Allegations surrounding Kim Soo-hyun Despite his popularity, Kim Soo-hyun remains embroiled in controversy following recent allegations made by the bereaved family of the late actress Kim Sae-ron. The family claimed that the Queen of Tears actor and Kim Sae-ron had been in a romantic relationship for six years, beginning in 2015 when she was still a minor. They reportedly submitted a collection of photos, letters, and messages to the controversial YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute, also known as Hoverlab, as supposed evidence of the relationship. Kim Sae-ron's DUI incident resurfaces The allegations are tied to a previous incident involving Kim Sae-ron's DUI accident, which led to a 700 million KRW (~510,000 USD) penalty fee dispute between her and Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist. What began as a financial issue has now escalated into a public battle over the truth surrounding their alleged relationship. Kim Soo-hyun's public denial In March, Kim Soo-hyun emotionally addressed the controversy at a press conference, firmly denying the allegations. "I did not date her while she was a minor. The accusation that my rejection or pressure from my agency led to her tragic decision is entirely false," he said, visibly distressed. Following his statement, the actor took legal action, filing both civil and criminal lawsuits against the late actress's family and Hoverlab CEO Kim Sae Ui, seeking 12 billion KRW (approximately 8.7 million USD) in damages.

9 romantic K-dramas where the male lead fell in love first—and fell the hardest
Han Beom-woo from 'Tastefully Yours' Above Han Beom-woo (Kang Ha-neul) has mastered the art of yearning in the romantic comedy K-drama 'Tastefully Yours'. (Photo: screencap from 'Tastefully Yours', Netflix) He may be all business and have questionable motives in the beginning, but it doesn't take long for Han Beom-woo (Kang Ha-neul) to fall for Mo Yeon-joo (Go Min-si) in Tastefully Yours . In keeping with the enemies-to-romance trope, their playful bickering soon gives way to something more. The stolen glances, the lingering looks and an unexpected kiss reveal that, despite his efforts to stay detached, their incessant teasing has blossomed into a full-blown romance. Don't miss: All the reasons why you need to watch the latest K-drama 'Tastefully Yours' Gu Won from 'King the Land' Above Gu Won (Lee Jun-ho) can't help falling in love with Cheon Sa-rang (Yoona). (Photo: JTBC) The first encounter between Gu Won (Lee Jun-ho), heir to the King Group, and Cheon Sa-rang (Yoona), the ever-smiling star employee of King Hotel, is anything but romantic. In fact, it barely qualifies as cordial. He has a deep aversion to fake smiles, while she's made a career out of perfecting hers. But in true romantic K-drama fashion, her warmth and sincerity gradually chip away at his frosty exterior. Sa-rang doesn't just get under his skin—she becomes his sole reason for smiling. Kang Tae-moo from 'Business Proposal' Above In the K-drama 'Business Proposal', a fake blind date leads to romance. (Photo: SBS) When Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong) agrees to pose as her friend on a blind date, her only goal is to scare off a suitor. What she doesn't expect is to find herself face-to-face with her company's CEO, Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop). Even more shocking? He proposes marriage. It's all part of a ploy to get his matchmaking grandfather off his back—but as their ruse unfolds, it's Tae-moo who falls first, and hardest, for the intriguing, unpredictable woman who crashes into his carefully ordered world in the romantic K-drama sleeper hit Business Proposal . Yang Gwan-sik from ''When Life Gives You Tangerines' Above There's no doubt that Gwan-sik (Park Bo-gum) fell first and fell harder. (Photo: IMDb) Yang Gwan-sik (Park Bo-gum) has been in love with Oh Ae-sun (IU) ever since they were kids. From making sure she gets her fair share of fish at every meal to swimming an ocean to be with her, he has devoted himself to Ae-sun's comfort and happiness. Though his love initially seemed unrequited, even met with disdain, his quiet devotion, steady presence and unwavering love ultimately soften Ae-sun's resolve and win her heart. Don't miss: Fact meets fiction: 10 K-dramas inspired by true events Paik Sae-on from 'When the Phone Rings' Above The dramatic reveal that he not only fell hard but that he also fell first had fans swooning. (Photo: MBC) Paik Sae-on (Yoo Yeon-seok) may appear cold and unfeeling—especially to his wife, Chae Soo-bin (Hong Hee-joo)—but viewers soon discover there's far more beneath his icy exterior. Not only did he orchestrate their arranged marriage to save her from an unfortunate fate, but he's also been in love with her since childhood. A touching flashback reveals that he fell first, and hard, carrying a silent, unwavering affection for years. His love may have been hidden behind a stoic mask, but it was always steadfast and deeply sincere. Jung Hyi-yun from 'Happiness' Above Jung Hyi-yun (Park Hyung-sik) goes from childhood friend to husband to love of Yoon Sae-beom's (Han Hyo-joo) life. (Photo: tvN) Jung Hyi-yun (Park Hyung-sik) has been quietly carrying a torch for Yoon Sae-beom (Han Hyo-joo) since high school. Failing to return his affections, Hyi-yun is content just to be in her life, even if it's as a friend. When she proposes an arranged marriage as a means to secure an apartment, he agrees without hesitation. It's only when their lives are upended by a zombie outbreak that Sae-beom begins to truly understand the depth of his feelings—and just how much he means to her, too. Han Sun-woo from 'Soundtrack #1' Above Yoon Sae-beom (Han Hyo-joo) makes his way out of the friend zone. (Photo: IMDb) Yoon Sae-beom (Han Hyo-joo) may see Jung Hyi-yun (Park Hyung-sik) as just a friend, but he's been in love with her since their high school days. Afraid of making things awkward and losing her altogether, he chooses to keep his feelings to himself. Later, audiences learn that although he fell first—and fell harder—she, too, had developed feelings beyond friendship. Missed opportunities and unspoken words kept them apart, making their slow-burning romantic K-drama all the more bittersweet. Lee Su-ho from 'True Beauty' Above Lee Su-ho (Cha Eun-woo) loved Im Ju-gyeong (Moon Ga-young) pre glow-up. (Photo: tvN) After being bullied relentlessly for her looks, Im Ju-gyeong (Moon Ga-young) reinvents herself with the help of makeup and becomes the top beauty at her new school. When she runs into school heartthrob Lee Su-ho (Cha Eun-woo) sans makeup, she's afraid he'll expose who she really is. What she doesn't expect is that he'd fall for the real her. But a quick flashback to their past shows how Su-ho was intrigued by and drawn to her way before her glow-up, connected by a shared love for manga and a deep understanding of loneliness.
