Seo Robin confessed that when treating blood cancer, the fear of hair loss and the subsequent changes to his physical appearance was far more terrifying than the pain accompanying chemotherapy.</p><!--3--><p class='change'> Han Do-gon shared his despair upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, feeling as though it was declaring that he had failed and everything was over. Kim Jong-eun read from the diary he kept during his battle with illness, detailing how even after a bone marrow transplant, graft-versus-host disease caused his fingers and joints to stiffen and left him unable to shed tears.</p><!--4--><p class='change'> Kim Jong-eun particularly touched viewers by revealing that his illness forced him to give up his dream of becoming a firefighter. Jung Ye-ji, who battled the same illness, listened to his story and could not stop crying as she empathized with the identical process she had gone through.</p><!--5--><p class='change'> After listening to their stories, Kim Seonho reflected on the past, saying, "Those were all emotions I had felt. So I found myself thinking, 'That's right, it really was like that.'"</p><!--6--><p class='change'> Kim Ryun-gi revealed that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer in November of last year and underwent a total gastrectomy in December, shocking everyone by sharing that he still had to undergo chemotherapy even after appearing on the show.</p><!--7--><p class='change'> Kim Na-young, who lost her hearing in her left ear while battling a vestibular schwannoma (a brain tumor), shared her experience with the side effects of steroid treatment that caused her weight to rapidly increase. "I gained 20kg in less than a month. At the time, I would eat an entire pizza by myself as if I were filming a mukbang," she confessed. In response, Kim Ryun-gi expressed his longing to eat whatever he wanted after his stomach removal surgery, saying, "That sounds so delicious. I want pizza so badly."</p><!--8--><p class='change'> Kang Min-young, who faced the possibility of having her leg amputated due to osteosarcoma at the tender age of fourteen, recalled, "Whenever I asked why I got cancer, my mom would tell me it was because I was so special and strong enough to overcome it."</p><!--9--><p class='change'> Having confessed their personal battles with illness, the cast members appeared noticeably closer and chatted naturally. They drew attention by sharing conversations unique to their experiences, asking one another which hospitals they had stayed in.</p><!--10--><p class='change'> They also naturally opened up about how they had never thought about dating after fighting their illnesses. Kim Seonho shared that he had broken up with his partner during his illness, explaining, "It was the prettiest age, an age when you want to do so many things. Because of that, asking someone to take care of me through an illness felt selfish, and even when I thought about it the other way around, I wondered if I could do the same if I were in their shoes," showing understanding for his past partner. The other cast members remarked, "Even after overcoming illness, there are still barriers. It is so unfair."</p><!--11--><p class='change'> As the conversation among the cast members deepened, the Room of Time opened. Each person could freely spend the 100 minutes given to them with the person they wanted to be with, and if the total time they wrote for each other added up to 100 minutes or more, they would go on a date.</p><!--12--><p class='change'> Kim Seonho, who visited the Room of Time first, surprised everyone by saying, "As time goes on, I feel more and more convinced that the person I am thinking of is right," adding, "Is it okay to say this? Actually, I already know that person."</p><!--13--><p class='change'> He continued, "Will she remember me? I could remember some of those memories, and I guess I leaned toward her because she felt like someone I knew. How can there be such a coincidence? It really feels like a movie. Since something I only half-believed could actually happen, I wonder if this is destiny," raising curiosity about who this destined person he pointed to might be. </p><!--15--><p class='change'>※ Please note: This article was translated by AI and may contain errors.</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008688634/kim-seonho-says-destiny-brought-him-facetoface-with-someone-he-knows-on-love-against-time?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>

He shared, "I became a stage 4 cancer patient while serving on active duty in the military. I had tests done every single day, and the results kept getting worse with every round of doctor rounds."</p><!--4--><p class='change'> Kim Seonho touched the hearts of viewers by saying, "I couldn't tell my parents. I felt like I had become a burden, and I was so sorry for causing them worry."</p><!--5--><p class='change'> After a military doctor told him that the worst-case scenario could not be ruled out, Kim Seonho eventually revealed the truth to his parents. Recalling his mother, who blamed everything on herself, he said, "My mother cried, saying she was sorry and that if she had taken better care of me, I wouldn't have gotten sick. I kept telling her I was fine so she wouldn't worry if I cried, but the truth was I was scared and the tears came out."</p><!--6--><p class='change'> Kim Seonho said, "When I imagined my parents' expressions if I died, I didn't dare let that happen. So I clenched my teeth and endured it."</p><!--7--><p class='change'> He continued, "At that time, the people in the same hospital room made a promise together. We promised to get better quickly and go grab a beer over there. There were three of us who made that promise, and I was the only one who survived," surprising everyone.</p><!--8--><p class='change'> Kim Seonho battled anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. He drew attention by sharing, "Last year marked five years since then. On the dense outpatient medical certificate, there was a single line that read, 'You have worked hard, you do not need to come anymore.' I didn't know what to feel when I saw that. I felt like I had gone through a lot of hardship myself, and I also thought about how fiercely I had fought." </p><!--10--><p class='change'>※ Please note: This article was translated by AI and may contain errors.</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008688604/kim-seonho-opens-up-about-stage-4-cancer-battle-on-love-against-time?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>

Amidst this, entertainer HAHA, who was present at the scene, personally stepped in to clarify the situation and send warm encouragement.</p><!--5--><p class='change'> During the MBC variety show "Hangout with Yoo" broadcast on August 1, Kong Hyo-jin and Jung Jun-won, the lead stars of the new Friday-Saturday drama "A Bona Fide Killer", appeared as guests.</p><!--9--><p class='change'> On this day, Jung Jun-won, appearing on a variety show for the first time, looked rigid right after his entrance, stating, "I don't think I'm okay." Sitting anxiously on the edge of his chair and hesitating to answer questions smoothly, he was also extremely nervous during a challenge where he had to act out a single line with multiple emotions, tightly closing his eyes and failing to utter the lines at all. In response, members Yu Jae-seok, HAHA, Huh Kyung-hwan, and Joo Woo-jae, along with fellow guest Kong Hyo-jin, led the atmosphere and continuously helped him out.</p><!--13--><p class='change'> However, right after the broadcast, criticisms poured out online. Moving beyond reactions such as "he lacks sincerity" and "he lacks proactivity for a promotional appearance," the situation escalated into excessive, personal attacks involving disparagement of his acting skills and crude insults regarding his appearance. Being stripped of his value as an actor simply because of one awkward moment on a variety show has drawn regret.</p><!--17--><p class='change'> As the controversy overheated, HAHA, who was at the recording site, directly voiced his convictions.</p><!--20--><figure class='change imgtag'><img alt="SBS 뉴스 이미지" data-captionyn="N" id="i30001078808" origin="sbs" src="https://img.sbs.co.kr/newsnet/etv/upload/2026/08/03/30001078808_700.jpg" style="display:block; margin:20px auto" v_height="228" v_play_time="0" v_reg_date="20260803155506" v_reg_user="강선애" v_src="https://img.sbs.co.kr/newsnet/etv/upload/2026/08/03/30001078808.jpg" v_title="Hangout with Yoo Jung Jun-won (Photo=Getty Images Korea)" v_width="555"></figure><!--22--><p class='change'> HAHA directly left a comment on a short-form video pointing out Jung Jun-won's attitude controversy, defending him by writing, "He was so lovely, cute, and funny. It was a reaction intended to make it entertaining. Even for pros, 'Hangout with Yoo' is really difficult for a first variety show." He added a heartwarming message of encouragement, saying, "Since he is not a professional entertainer, please look upon him kindly and just enjoy the variety show. I send my applause to the actor."</p><!--26--><p class='change'> Viewers' likes and dislikes regarding the awkwardness shown in an unfamiliar variety show environment can certainly vary. However, rather than excessive disparagement and baseless speculation, it is a time when a mature perspective toward an actor challenging a new field is needed.</p><!--30--><p class='change'> [Photo Credit = MBC "Hangout with Yoo", HAHA Instagram]&nbsp;</p><!--34--><p class='change'> (SBS Entertainment News | Kang Sun-ae)</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008688100/haha-defends-actor-jung-junwon-against-backlash-over-first-variety-show-appearance-on-hangout-with-yoo?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>

The cumulative audience reached 4,110,550.</p><!--10--><p class='change'> "HOPE" surpassed the cumulative audience mark of 4 million around midnight on August 1. It marked the 19th day since its release. With this, it became the third film released this year to reach the 4 million viewer milestone, following "The King's Warden" and "COLONY".</p><!--14--><p class='change'> The break-even point for "HOPE", which is estimated to have cost over 50 billion won in production expenses, is approximately 5 million viewers. It was initially expected to be around 7 million, but the break-even point is known to have been significantly lowered as it was pre-sold to 200 countries overseas. Considering 5 million viewers as the standard for the break-even point, it has currently reached 80 percent of that threshold.</p><!--17--><figure class='change imgtag'><img alt="SBS 뉴스 이미지" data-captionyn="N" id="i30001078756" origin="sbs" src="https://img.sbs.co.kr/newsnet/etv/upload/2026/08/03/30001078756_700.jpg" style="display:block; margin:20px auto" v_height="471" v_play_time="0" v_reg_date="20260803133106" v_reg_user="Kim Ji-hye" v_src="https://img.sbs.co.kr/newsnet/etv/upload/2026/08/03/30001078756.jpg" v_title="HOPE 4 million milestone (Photo=Getty Images Korea)" v_width="700"></figure><!--19--><p class='change'> However, as it entered its third week of release, the momentum of "HOPE" has dropped significantly. It drew 1.5 million viewers in its first weekend, 760,000 in its second weekend, and 330,000 in its third weekend. Given its remaining traction, achieving the break-even point is not an easy situation. Projections range from the late 4 million to early 5 million range.</p><!--23--><p class='change'> The variables are the trends of two strong competing films. The box office speed of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" (surpassing 3 million in 5 days) is faster than expected, and the momentum of "The Odyssey", opening on the 5th, is also formidable. "The Odyssey" recorded an advance ticket sales rate of 40.3 percent and 361,000 advance tickets sold as of two days ahead of its release, closely trailing "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" (40.9 percent, 366,000 tickets).</p><!--27--><p class='change'> If the two films engage in an unyielding competition, there is room for the ticket sales of "HOPE", which ranks 3rd to 4th, to decline further. Currently, "HOPE" forms the 4th tier with an advance reservation rate of 3.9 percent and 34,000 advance tickets, trailing even another upcoming release, "Heartsping: Teenieping of Love" (7.6 percent, 68,000 tickets).</p><!--31--><p class='change'> If it can secure a long theatrical run, it could reach the break-even point even at a slow pace, but if it loses advance ticket sales to the three new releases, defending its screen count will become difficult.</p><!--35--><p class='change'> The "HOPE" team plans to direct all efforts toward securing new audiences and encouraging repeat viewings through word-of-mouth and active promotion on the ground. The main cast members will continue their stage greetings this week as it enters its fourth week of release.</p><!--39--><p class='change'> (SBS Entertainment News | Kim Ji-hye)</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008687761/movie-hope-crosses-4-million-admissions-will-it-reach-the-breakeven-point?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>

The broadcast recorded a viewership rating of 4.6% and a peak rating of 5.3% based on metropolitan households by Nielsen Korea, with the moment Sooin and her husband rescuing Kkeutsooni taking the "best one minute."</p><!--9--><p class='change'> Not long ago, an unfamiliar white dog appeared in front of the home of Sooin and her husband, who have rescued, treated, and embraced stray animals in Damyang, South Jeolla Province. Seen up close, the white dog was in a state where standing was difficult due to hair loss, raw sores all over, and heavily swollen legs. With the sentiment of hoping "this is the last sick creature we meet on the road," the couple named the dog "Kkeutsooni" and began taking care of her.</p><!--13--><p class='change'> Given that she was very wary and tied with a leash, they also needed to check whether an owner existed. Carefully confirming the ownership of Kkeutsooni, who was painfully walking while licking her sore body under a 33-degree scorching sun, the production team and the couple set out on a full-scale rescue.</p><!--17--><p class='change'> The first direct rescue attempt failed due to Kkeutsooni's nipping, but Sooin switched to a method of carefully luring her inside the yard and, with the help of a professional rescue team, finally succeeded in transferring her.</p><!--21--><p class='change'> As a result of hospital examinations, Kkeutsooni's immunity had collapsed due to demodectic mange and a bacterial infection, leaving her in a critical condition suspected of sepsis along with severe anemia that made a blood transfusion urgent. Fortunately, thanks to quick treatment, she was able to be discharged a few days later with her swelling subsided and a comfortable face.</p><!--25--><p class='change'> Looking at Kkeutsooni recovering, Sooin expressed her hope that she would someday meet a good home and wanted to leave her with the warm experience of being with a family at home.</p><!--29--><p class='change'> Meanwhile, SBS "Animal Farm" airs every Sunday at 9:30 AM.</p><!--33--><p class='change'> (SBS Entertainment News | Kang Sun-ae)</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008687183/animal-farm-shares-heartwarming-rescue-story-of-injured-dog-kkeutsooni-with-53-peak-rating?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>

She expressed her gratitude, saying, "This is a solo fan meeting disguised as a camping day."</p><!--12--><p class='change'> Cho Hyun-ah had previously confessed her fandom for Sung Si-kyung on another broadcast. In response, Sung Si-kyung said, "I came in a good mood because I thought it would be fun. I wanted to hang out with you. We haven't seen each other often in private settings, so I thought it would be fun."</p><!--16--><p class='change'> Hearing this, Cho Hyun-ah accurately recalled the situation, saying, "It has been 13 years since we last met in a private setting." Sung Si-kyung replied, "Then it really is you. Was it that restaurant with a lot of side dishes? You were the first person I ever saw finish all the side dishes at a raw fish restaurant. You ate everything without leaving anything behind, so it was nice to see you eat so well."</p><!--20--><p class='change'> Cho Hyun-ah mentioned, "You said you would buy me something delicious next time, but 13-years have passed," and asked, "Do you remember giving me your autograph back then?" Sung Si-kyung made everyone laugh by answering, "I only remember how well you ate."</p><!--24--><p class='change'> Cho Hyun-ah revealed the CD Sung Si-kyung had signed for her back then, along with other Sung Si-kyung albums she had collected over the years. She also drew attention by showing a key ring-shaped transit card featuring Sung Si-kyung's face.</p><!--28--><p class='change'> Cho Hyun-ah prepared another copy of the same CD that Sung Si-kyung had signed for her in the past and asked him to sign it again. She said, "You wrote, 'You sing so well, you're so pretty. Let's see each other for a long time.' Can you tell me what makes me pretty today?" Sung Si-kyung playfully responded, "Did you already decide that you're pretty?"</p><!--32--><p class='change'> After signing an autograph for her again 12 years later, Sung Si-kyung left a comment saying, "Don't go camping alone, let's be happy." Cho Hyun-ah replied, "Doesn't 'let's' mean together?" to which Sung Si-kyung put up a defensive wall, saying, "Separately yet together," and added, "Now is the age when we should be happy," drawing laughter.</p><!--36--><p class='change'> Watching Cho Hyun-ah turn into a shy young girl in front of her ultimate bias, Im Soo-hyang shared that she had been a long-time god fan and a passionate fan of Yoon Kye-sang, saying, "I was Kye-sang's wife. I used to eat rice with Kye-sang oppa's spoon and go to concerts, so I understand that feeling all too well."</p><!--40--><p class='change'> On this day, Cho Hyun-ah poured out her fan love for Sung Si-kyung without holding back. She shared that she really loves his songs, saying, "When 'Every Moment of You' came out, I listened to it for a month or two, and when 'To You' came out, I listened to it for a year." She then named "You Were Impressive" as her all-time favorite song.</p><!--44--><p class='change'> Cho Hyun-ah also said, "If I could sing with oppa, all my dreams in the world would come true." Sung Si-kyung jokingly scolded her by saying, "Dream some other dreams," bringing laughter. However, at the dedicated fan's request to sing at least one song, he performed an impromptu live show.</p><!--48--><p class='change'> Unable to hide her touching emotions, Cho Hyun-ah shed tears. Cho Hyun-ah expressed her overflowing happiness at the moment: "This kind of emotion exists. When I listen to a song I like, I see the image of the singer Sung Si-kyung, but I also see myself who followed that Sung Si-kyung. Chasing after him has brought me all the way here, and I like myself so much for it. That's why I'm crying," unable to hide her joy at having chased the singer she admired, achieved her dream of becoming a singer, and ending up in that very spot together.</p><!--52--><p class='change'> Hearing this, Sung Si-kyung shared his gratitude, saying, "I know. I talk to my seniors about that too." He added, "But now that I have some experience under my belt, it feels good to know that someone is looking up to me." Furthermore, Sung Si-kyung prepared an impromptu dish for his loyal fan Cho Hyun-ah, prompting her to sum up the day by calling it "truly the best fan meeting."</p><!--54--><p class='change'> ※ Please note: This article was translated by AI and may contain errors.&nbsp;</p><!--58--><p class='change'> (SBS Entertainment News | Kim Hyo-jung)</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008686730/cho-hyunah-sheds-tears-during-1on1-camping-fan-meeting-with-sung-sikyung-on-my-little-old-boy?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>

Three green lights were moving in formation at a height equivalent to about the 10th floor of an apartment building.</p><!--25--><p class='change'> Gimhae Airport is a no-fly zone for aviation security and also houses the Air Force, making it a highly security-sensitive area.</p><!--29--><p class='change'> Accordingly, the Air Force and police conducted a search for the object. However, they were ultimately unable to identify the unknown flying object and closed the case, calling it an incident where lights were mistaken for an aircraft.</p><!--33--><p class='change'> However, another informant played an internal military radio recording from the time, revealing that even command units were mobilized to chase the aircraft. Yet, after moving unpredictably for about two hours, the object disappeared, and its identity was never determined.</p><!--37--><p class='change'> Last May, U.S. President Trump released videos of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) collected by the United States from around the world over the past 80 years. Amid growing interest in unidentified flying objects, what on earth was the identity of the aircraft spotted at Gimhae Airport?</p><!--41--><p class='change'> Experts said that other objects similar to those seen at Gimhae Airport were communication satellites. However, they agreed that what appeared at Gimhae Airport was different and difficult to identify.</p><!--45--><p class='change'> A drone expert raised the possibility that it was a drone, but also pointed out aspects that are hard to explain under the assumption of a drone, stating, "However, if it flew for about two hours, it would have been possible to identify it as a drone."</p><!--49--><p class='change'> The broadcast drew attention to a 2023 interview in which Dr. Steven Greer, a prominent figure in the field of UFOs, stated, "After a giant UFO crashed, a building was built on top of it, and that place is South Korea."</p><!--53--><p class='change'> And the building he pointed to was the Anyang Aviation Radio Beacon Station. The production team personally visited the Anyang Aviation Radio Beacon Station to investigate. However, contrary to various rumors, there was nothing unusual. They could only confirm that the site was formerly home to a U.S. military base and was built by the U.S. military. As a result, the voltage system is also based on American standards.</p><!--57--><p class='change'> The production team requested an interview with Dr. Greer regarding these details, but was ultimately declined.</p><!--61--><p class='change'> A video expert stated that the released UAP videos generally have very low resolution and are mostly infrared or thermal camera footage, which naturally makes them seem bizarre. He added that this makes it difficult to identify the aircraft from the footage. However, he noted that most of the objects captured in the videos are presumed to be weather balloons or distorted lights from conventional aircraft.</p><!--65--><p class='change'> Following the UAP Tic Tac incident and the enactment of UFO disclosure legislation in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in the U.S., global interest in UAP has been rising. An expert pointed out the need for attention toward various unmanned aerial vehicles, stating, "Because we place so much emphasis solely on the threat from North Korea, we lack the will or attention to respond to unknown or unidentified threats. Countries around the world are already paying attention to non-military threats and broader security risks."</p><!--69--><p class='change'> He also drew attention by emphasizing, "Rather than dismissing various unmanned aerial vehicles as mere curiosities, a shift in perception is needed to recognize that they can pose a serious threat to national security."</p><!--71--><p class='change'> ※ Please note: This article was translated by AI and may contain errors.&nbsp;</p><!--75--><p class='change'> (SBS Entertainment News | Kim Hyo-jung)</p><p><a href="https://sbsstar.net/article/N1008686035/mysterious-uap-at-gimhae-airport-unanswered-questions-investigates-unidentified-aerial-phenomena?plink=ORI&amp;cooper=RSS">▶Read the Full Story Now</a></p><p><a href="https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/appinstall.do?plink=APPDOWN&amp;cooper=RSS">▶ SBS News App Download </a></p><p>ⓒ SBS &amp; SBS i : Unauthorized copy and/or redistributing of copyrighted materials prohibited</p>]]></content:encoded>
