Two characters that Dokkaebi viewers often get mixed up

The two of them are different actors.

Secretary - Jo Woojin
Loyal retainer - Kim Byungchul


Today Humour: [Dokkaebi] King's loyal retainer and the secretary, don't confuse these two

- You're really kind. Thank you
> I was going to write this post last week because I thought, "Eeyy, everyone probably already knows right~" but today, I saw a lot of people thinking that the two of them are played by the same actor.. so I had to write this.

- ..... I only found out today that the young king isn't Yeo Jingoo but it's actually Kim Minjae

(Left: Kim Minjae, Right: Yeo Jingoo)
> Same, I only found out today ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can really see the resemblance when you put them side by side like this
> Hul, what a reversal!!!!
> Huh....? I thought he was Jingoo all this time!!!!!!!! (Head is spinning) No wonder, I thought he lost weight...
> But their voices? His tone is good too... he really seems like an actor we can anticipate in the future ㅎㅎ I didn't mistake him for my forever-oppa Yeo Jingoo but ㅋㅋㅋㅋ  They have similar images
> Kim Minjae was on SMTM~ He raps well~
> Both of them are so handsomeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They both played a young king, and Kim Minjae plays a wicked character but my head becomes clear when I see his face ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Ah I feel refreshed ㅋㅋㅋ
I was so confused when they first introduced the secretary, but even now I mix them up... ㅠㅠ
But don't you think Lee Hyunwoo and Park Bogum look the same too?? They look kind of different now but I was watching a movie and I thought it was Lee Hyunwoo, afterwards I found out it was actually Park Bogum...

- I keep forgetting about this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I tell myself, "so they're not the same person!!" and then after a few days I mix them up again..!!

- All this time I was thinking the loyal retainer's reincarnation is the secretary...
> I was thinking that too..!!

- They looked the same today.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- They have different actors but, isn't it still possible that he could still be the reincarnation?
I think the grim reaper and the dokkaebi mentioned that reincarnations don't have to be born with the same face.

- What the!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm already shocked right now that the king isn't Yeo Jingoo but now you're telling me the secretary isn't the loyal retainer!!!!!!!! How can this be!!!!!!

- I mix up Kim Goeun and Park Sodam all the time

- Am I the only one who thought Yook Sungjae was Seo In Guk......

Top 5 tvN dramas with the lowest ratings

Today Humor: Top 5 tvN dramas with the lowest ratings

1. Surplus Princess 0.537%
2. Ex-girlfriend Club 0.629%
3. Plus Nine Boys 0.685%
4. Bubblegum 0.685%
5. Entourage 0.749%

- Bubblegum was fun though, even Dong-grim reaper was on it ㅠ
> I really enjoyed Bubblegum ㅠㅠ They're so pretty I watched it so many times ㅋㅋ Sometimes I think of this drama randomly

- Ex-girlfriend club was so funny, I was disappointed that they had to wrap it up so quickly

- I watched all of Entourage.. ㅠㅠ I didn't watch the original so I don't have a comparison but I thought it was good..ㅠㅠ

- Everyone as a drama-fanatic, let me tell you at least watch Lee Dongwook or Kim Youngkwang's cuts from Bubblegum and Plus Nine Boys.
> I have faith in your words as a pro drama fan
> I watched it because the lead females were so pretty..

- I actually haven't heard of these except Entourage, but to think our grim reaper is there...aw ㅠ

- Ex girlfriend club was pretty fun.  Plus nine boys had good music. Bubblegum had such a nice atmosphere, it was alright, but the more it unravelled the more frustrating the story became.. I haven't heard of Surplus Princess.  As for Entourage, I heard it's not good so I never tried to watch it.

- Ex girlfriend club was entertaining ㅠㅠ I watched all of the eps but because of the ratings, they had to end it early.. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

- Plus Nine Boys was really fun though!!  I watched it in the military so I had no idea about the ratings.  The squad that I was in would hold our hearts and get butterflies while we watched it.....

SBS finds blacklist of over 9,000 artists created by the government

(t/n: I thought this would be an awesome share to anyone who's interested!)

Background Summary: (t/n: I'll try to keep it as condensed as I can.)
Many investigations began after the Choi Soon Shil scandal.  Back in November, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism (MCST) were investigated because the minister, Cho Yoon Sun, was alleged for creating a blacklist of artists who criticize or are "hostile" to the government.
For instance, they were accused of stripping 6 high ranking officials because their political views "did not match or were incompatible with the Park administration." 3 of those officials ended up leaving.

In November, Cho Yoon Sun and Jung Kwan Joo were accused of leading the blacklist compilation of over 9,000 artists and cultural figures which they denied afterwards.

Suspicion has already been growing since a lot of artists, government officials, and figures have been speaking up about this.  Many of them were at the candlelight rally, where they finally felt free to express their views in spite of possible repercussions (i.e. being marked, blacklisted, etc.).  A lot of them were finally able to share music and arts that were not held back by the music industry control.

(Where are the K-pop idols?  They are under the control of big companies so they cannot join in those rallies even if they wanted to.  If they did, the system is likely to break any will of the idols' to participate in social issues - because as we see below there's consequences for participating in these kinds of things...)

Anyway, today that blacklist was obtained by SBS.
It has names of professors, poets, choreographers, 48 artists, 43 groups like film companies, theatre companies and more.
The list shows the name and next to the name there's a reason provided for why that person or company is blacklisted.
The most common reasons were things like: opposed certain politicians, supported Moon Jaein (t/n: Park Geunhye's opponent when she first ran for President), expressed opinions on social issues, etc.
Professors from Seoul National University and Yonsei Univeristy are on the list for participating and standing up to social issues as well.  It also includes news sites (Kyunghyang Newspaper, Hankyoreh, Korea Daily) who are branded because they opposed the government's views.
Those on the blacklist were put at a disadvantage like budget cuts or had to pay money for freedom of expression.  For example, one company that produced and made a film showing truthful criticisms of the government and their history was dropped and cut off from the Ministry's budget.

Han Jimin turns her airport photos into a photoshoot

Today Humor: Han Jimin

- An angel appeared

- Wow.............................

- God-Jimin.... ㅠㅠ

- Goddess Jimin ㅠㅠㅠ

- Around 10 years ago, I saw her on 'Resurrection' and I thought she was a pretty celebrity, but more than getting prettier, I think the word beautiful fits her more.  Not just her looks but her personality too

- My ideal type~

- How can a candid photo turn into a photoshoot like this

- In my next life for sure......
> In your next life, what?  What are you going to do?
>> OP's going to turn into an octopus.

What would happen if Jealousy Incarnate's Lee Hwashin and the Goblin met?

1. A lot of showing-off
If you put these two together, I'm sure you know they'd try to play themselves off as the best of the best - so let's just watch it through their actions.
Both of them have this mind, "The world revolves around me..." ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I want to see how it'll turn out, you see Lee Hwashin isn't the type to back down even if the Goblin has supernatural powers ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. Attention seekers
They crazily want attention ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
These two are the representatives of not getting enough love from their girlfriends
On one side we have the kid who shoves a painting in the laundry because the girl he likes won't give him attention and the kid who dances with a beer in his hand in the middle of the night to get some attention from his crush, this is the level we're dealing with here ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. They're sensitive
Extremely so, whether it's the Goblin or Lee Hwashin, if they don't like it, they'll shout it out ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. They're like babies when they want to receive love

Today Humor: If Lee Hwashin and the Goblin were to meet, what would happen? [+162]

- I'm a guy but why is my heart fluttering
> This is how we get to know ourselves... stay strong!

- This would be totally awesome

- Wow this is insane..... I watched all of Jealousy Incarnate while waiting for Gobday..... both of them are so cool ㅠㅠ

- I love these kinds of characters ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think we're moving past the type of male lead who's like the reliable oppa, always kind, and always has a lot of money....

- I give my vote to the grim reaper ㅋㅋ  He's such a cutie!
> He cries so well too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ he's jjang

- Jo Jungseok is so pretty what the hell;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

- Why are the two of them so cute.. ㅇ<-<

- The scene where Jo Jungseok jumped over the fence.  The fence was so short but it was still cool!
