“Running Man” Comedian Yang Se Chan Under Fire For Making A Rude Joke About Actress Jeon So Min During A Game

by Leave a Comment

On its official YouTube channel, SBS‘s Running Man shared a series of short clips from its latest episode in which the members got competitive playing the “Of Course” game (also known as the dangyunhaji game).

Long-time K-Pop and Korean television entertainment fans know that the game itself is centered around “roasting” each other. And so while the remarks involved can get feisty, they are meant to be harmless. However, one of the clips—capturing comedian Yang Se Chan against actress Jeon So Min—ended up receiving heavy criticism from Running Man viewers.

The clip in question, titled, “[Of… Course…] Jeon So Min Shaken By Yang Se Chan’s Attack,” showed Yang Se Chan versus Jeon So Min. The round started off light with the comedian and the actress calling each other “ugly” and making fun.

Yang Se Chan: You know you’re fri-ckin’ ugly. Right?

Jeon So Min: Of course!

Following a few turns back and forth though, Yang Se Chan brought up Jeon So Min’s actual ex-boyfriend and mentioned his occupation (which then became censored by the production team).

Yang Se Chan: About [censored, specific descriptions of Jeon So Min’s ex-boyfriend]… We still keep in touch, you know that. Right?

Jeon So Min: Of course… (Turns to Yoo Jae Suk)

Yang Se Chan: Hyung, I think she’s crying?!

According to some viewers, Jeon So Min’s reaction at this point already showed her “becoming uncomfortable at the mention of her dating history.”

When Jeon So Min managed to make it through that “attack,” Yang Se Chan tried again—asking the actress if she “thinks about [censored ex-boyfriend’s name] while filming kiss scenes” in her ongoing K-Drama Show Window: The Queen’s House. Though Jeon So Min tried to answer, comedian Yoo Jae Suk put an end to the game by declaring that Yang Se Chan had won.

Yang Se Chan: When you’re on set for Show Window and you’re shooting a kiss scene… You thought about [censored ex-boyfriend’s name], huh?

Jeon So Min: Of… Of course! OF COURSE!

Yoo Jae Suk: Are you all right?

Yang Se Chan: C’mon, hyung! Call it a game already!

Yoo Jae Suk: Yang Se Chan wins!

Under the YouTube video, Running Man viewers gathered to call out on Yang Se Chan’s insensitive behavior. One viewer demanded respect for the actress while commenting, “Somin never [attacks] other members this way, yet they do it to her.”

Online communities also commented that he “crossed the line” when he “joked” about her thinking about the ex-boyfriend while in her K-Drama role. Some even deemed this as “sexual harassment” and demanded that Yang Se Chan formally apologizes to Jeon So Min for speaking about her acting career that way.

  • “Honestly WAY over the line… Why does [Yang Se Chan] keep putting his foot in his mouth?”
  • “I get that the cast members are all so incredibly close and comfortable with one another. And I get that Yang Se Chan is considered the more cheeky personality on the team. But I really wish he would stop before crossing any lines. He always makes me feel uncomfortable.”
  • “Geez, that was not nice at all.”
  • “I find it hilarious and hopeless that the production team found this funny and decided to upload an entire clip of it.”
  • “Yang Se Chan most definitely crossed the line with this one. Doesn’t even matter what the production team thinks.”
  • “This makes me see Yang Se Chan in a different light. Is this what he thinks of all actors and their careers? That actors think about making out with their exes while  filming on set? He’s disgusting.”
  • “I don’t watch Running Man and I’m not a Jeon So Min fan but this got me pressed.”

The criticism continues to grow, especially since Jeon So Min has previously dropped hints about this “ex-boyfriend” and how heartbroken he had left her. Between 2015-2016, Jeon So Min was in a romantic relationship with actor Yoon Hyun Min. When, in a previous Running Man episode, the actress revealed that she dumped her ex-boyfriend after he “cheated on [her],” viewers assumed that Jeon So Min and Yoon Hyun Min might have went through a rough breakup.

Neither Yang Se Chan nor Running Man has responded to the online backlash.

Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum Are Hilarious in the Trailer for Their New Movie | Glamour

by Leave a Comment

Sandra Bullock comedies are iconic, and the trailer for her latest, The Lost City, proves she has another hit on her hands.

In the movie, Sandra Bullock plays Loretta Sage, a romance novelist promoting her new book, The Lost City of D. Channing Tatum plays Alan, a model and cover star of Loretta’s books who seems to confuse himself for Sage’s fictional character, Dash. Things don’t seem to be going right for Loretta, but then in comes Daniel Radcliffe as a very rich man in a crisp white three-piece suit. He reads Loretta’s book and wants her to help him find the titular Lost City. Except he’s not asking: He’s kidnapping her and forcing her to help. 

Fortunately, Alan is determined to save Loretta after he finds out she’s gone missing because he wants her to think of him as more than a cover model. Alan finds Loretta and saves her, but unfortunately, they get a bit lost in the jungle. Other shenanigans ensue (and probably a romance as well). In the meantime, Daniel Radcliffe is chasing them down. 

The trailer for The Lost City, which you can watch below, also teases a cameo from Brad Pitt as someone coming to save Loretta. Loretta asks him why he’s so attractive and he says, “My dad was a weatherman.” A perfect answer to that question.

“I don’t know if it’s because we’ve all been locked in our homes for so long, but if you can just sit in a room with someone and it’s quiet and just for no reason start laughing, and you know why the other one is laughing but you don’t know why the other one is laughing, it just makes things so much easier,” Bullock told E.W. about working with Tatum. “So yeah, I think we were separated at birth at some point in some sort of neurological experiment on brain development. And he and I feel that theory holds because no matter where you throw us, we’re still the same.”

The Lost City hits theaters March 25, 2022. 

In his farewell letter, Bob Dole cracked a joke about voter fraud in Chicago

by Leave a Comment

While speaking at her father’s funeral service in Washington D.C. on Friday, Bob Dole’s daughter Robin Dole read from part of a farewell letter that she said her father had written with a former staff member.

Dole, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 98-years-old, slipped a joke about voter fraud into the letter.

“As I make the final walk on my life’s journey, I do so without fear because I know that I will again not be walking alone. I know that God will be walking with me. I also confess that I’m a bit curious to learn if I am correct in thinking that heaven … will look a lot like Kansas, and to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago,” Dole’s daughter read from her late father’s letter.

Dole, a World War II veteran who was seriously wounded while serving, asked people to visit the WWII memorial and other veterans memorials around the nation.

“I do have one request to make of you,” Dole said in the letter. He noted that since the 2004 dedication, “it has been my honor to go as often as I could, to the World War II memorial here in Washington D.C. to welcome and thank the World War II veterans and all veterans who are visiting there. Since I won’t be making that visit anymore, I hope that you will, and that you will ask your children and grandchildren to visit veterans memorials across America, and to never forget the sacrifice made not just by my generation, but by all those who wear the uniform of our country.”

“My final words are the exact ones that Dwight Eisenhower used to conclude his speech … nearly seven decades ago. I believe in the future of the United States of America,” the letter stated.

Dole had a lengthy political career that included service in the U.S. House and Senate. As the Republican presidential nominee during the 1996 election, he ultimately lost to incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton.
