  • Seo Dong-ju Shares Feelings After Missed Miscarriage Surgery
    Seo Dong-ju Shares Feelings After Missed Miscarriage Surgery Broadcaster Seo Dong-ju has spoken publicly about how she has been coping after a missed miscarriage. On April 14, Seo posted a video titled “How Seo Dong-ju Heals Grief Through Drawing” on her YouTube channel, “Seo Dong-ju’s Tto.Do.Dong.” In the video, Seo said it had been four days since she underwent a curettage procedure and that she was doing well. “After a few days, I feel a lot better,” she said, adding that she cried less than she expected and has been improving as each day passes. Seo said she is now in a stable condition. “After going through it, it wasn’t a big deal,” she said. “If anyone is in a similar situation, I hope you don’t worry too much. With time, you can endure it, and you’ll be OK.” She said she did not want to spend too long crying or holding on to negative energy. Seo said she had spent the past two months eating well and trying to keep positive thoughts, and she did not want that effort to go to waste. With her next cycle approaching, Seo said she worried that sinking into sadness could harm both her physical and mental health. “So I tried, no matter what, to keep myself enjoying life,” she said, adding that she has been trying to eat even healthier, take walks and get plenty of rest. Her husband said Seo is “mentally very strong,” and that watching her get through it gave him strength. He added that the period had been harder for him than for her. Seo, the daughter of late comedian Seo Se-won and broadcaster Seo Jeong-hee, married a Korean American man in 2010 and divorced in 2014. She remarried in June last year to a non-celebrity man four years younger than her.* This article has been translated by AI. 2026-04-15 14:09:25

    Actress Seonu Yongyeo Says Cheongdam-dong Land Bought for 8 Million Won Is Now Worth 10 Billion Won Actress Seonu Yongyeo revisited the site of a home lot she once bought in Seoul’s Cheongdam-dong neighborhood. A video titled “Seonu Yongyeo’s Cheongdam building revealed for the first time, price up 1,000 times in 50 years” was posted Tuesday on the YouTube channel “Sunpung Seonu Yongyeo.” In the video, Seonu said she had lived in an apartment in Banpo before deciding she wanted to live on land and bought a house in Cheongdam-dong. She said the property was a 99-pyeong rectangular lot with a 27-pyeong house, but that her husband sold the entire parcel when the family moved to the United States. The land was purchased in the 1970s for 8 million won, but is now said to be worth about 10 billion won — about 1,250 times higher over roughly half a century. Seonu also recalled an episode from years ago when she tried to buy 2,200 pyeong of land near a court in Gangnam, and spoke about her connection with fellow actor Eom Aengran. “I’m fine.
