Cube Responds To Reports Of Park Mi Sun's Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Cube Entertainment has addressed the reports that Park Mi Sun is battling breast cancer. On August 22, Korean news outlet The Fact reported that the reason Park Mi Sun abruptly halted all activities earlier this year was because she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. According to the report, because her cancer was detected early, Park Mi Sun is said to have a high chance of recovery. That same morning, Park Mi Sun’s agency Cube Entertainment responded to the report by stating, “While it’s difficult to confirm with her personal medical information, she is taking a break for health reasons.” Wishing Park Mi Sun a speedy and full recovery.
Cha Eun Woo Talks About His Military Enlistment, Upcoming Projects, And More
Fashion magazine Esquire Korea has released a pictorial featuring Cha Eun Woo! The pictorial, which was in collaboration with luxury fashion house Saint Laurent, showcased Cha Eun Woo with a short hairstyle that revealed a new side of him. On the day of the photo shoot, staff members from Cha Eun Woo’s agency showed up in matching printed T-shirts featuring a childhood photo of the star, prepared specially for his send-off to the military. Cha Eun Woo commented, “There’s still some time left before my enlistment, but in terms of my official schedule, today is my last [scheduled activity before enlisting]. I only realized after arriving on set and stepping out of the elevator that the staff had even prepared matching T-shirts as a way of sending me off. It still doesn’t quite feel real yet.” Cha Eun Woo, who debuted a short hairstyle through the photo shoot, remarked, “Until now, because of advertisements and other activities, I couldn’t cut my hair freely. But since this is my last project, I wanted to leave behind some photos with short hair. And since it’s a pictorial, I thought it was the right time to show a more daring side of myself that I hadn’t shown before.” He continued, “Working on a pictorial with Saint Laurent is always more fun. Seeing unique pieces like thigh-high boots and leather coats that fall to the calves makes me think about how to interpret such distinctive outfits in photos, and that process is really enjoyable.” Talking about his upcoming projects, Cha Eun Woo shared, “I’ve been preparing projects for the past year or two so that fans won’t feel my absence too much. One of them is the upcoming film ‘First Ride’ [literal title], which also stars Kang Ha Neul, Kim Young Kwang, Kang Young Seok, and Han Sun Hwa.” He also mentioned that the Netflix series “The WONDERfools,” in which he plays a civil servant who is slightly lacking in social skills, has finished production and is awaiting release. Cha Eun Woo’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the September issue of Esquire Korea.
