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.

Pretty Crazy release date out: YoonA and Ahn Bo Hyun's devil-human romance film confirms August premiere
Pretty Crazy is an upcoming South Korean movie, featuring sweet romance, laughter pangs, as well as fantasy elements. YoonA and Ahn Bo Hyun star as the leads in this CJ Entertainment creation, which is a highly anticipated project of the year. On June 12, the production company unveiled the official poster of the film and announced its premiere period. Here's a look at the characters, plot summary, and cast of the exciting movie. Pretty Crazy: Poster reveal The official poster of Pretty Crazy features YoonA and Ahn Bo Hyun in an unusual setting. YoonA, playing Seon Ji, holds Ahn Bo Hyun's (Gil Goo) shoulders and looks at him in an intriguing way. Her gaze indicates her concealed quirky intentions about to come out to the forefront. The horns drawn on her head display a devil-like horror, but in a cartoonish way. Gil Goo's expression conveys his discomfort and confusion at the unfolding event. The night sky setting also hints at an impending ominous event, perhaps something dramatic involving the female lead and the male lead. Pretty Crazy: Release The mystery rom-com movie is set to hit the theatres in August 2025. This 1 hour and 55 minute-long film is directed by Lee Sang Geun, who has previously worked with YoonA on the 2019 box office smash, Exit. Pretty Crazy: Plot and character details The film focuses on Seon Ji, an aspiring patissier who has a secret– she transforms into a wild she-devil every night due to a curse. During the daytime, Seon Ji has no recollection of her nighttime self. One night, her nighttime counterpart encounters Gil Goo, an awkward, jobless neighbor, as Seon Ji's family hires him to watch over her at night. Gil Goo, who is smitten with daytime Seon Ji, becomes determined to break the curse and help both versions of her find their futures. Although he will know her secret, it will not stop him from engaging with her. He does that while navigating his strange late-night dates with the nighttime Seon Ji. Will he complete his mission, or will the she-devil get the best of him? Watch Pretty Crazy to find out!
