He added, “My parents and family are living cautiously every day, fearing that harm might come to me.

I realized that it also affects people around me.“

Furthermore, Park Seo Joon expressed, “There were times when the car changed, but the same person kept coming,” and sighed, “It happened in the past, and sometimes I still see such things. I think these experiences accumulated and led to this situation.”

[+186, -9] I hate it when posts like this come up every time an actress smokes

[+186, -17] A lot of male actors smoke, so what the heck is this post even about 

[+177, -9] Let’s become a world where it’s okay for women to smoke

[+164, -5] Is this something to be surprised about? There are a lot of people who smoke cigarettes even if you go to a university right now. So, what’s so surprising about women smoking?

[+162, -18] To be honest, I think Han So Hee’s smoking cigarettes suits her image very well. She feels like a Hong Kong noir female lead when she smokes, so it’s not a bad image at all.
