PSY and Lee Suzy Engage in Hilarious Weight-Gain Challenge
When Two Legends Collide: The Food Fight That Broke the Internet
Hold onto your kimchi! PSY (yes, the "Gangnam Style" king) and Lee Suzy have started the most ridiculous and entertaining challenge in Korean entertainment history - a full-blown weight-gain competition that's part military strategy, part comedy show, and completely addictive to follow.
The saga exploded when Suzy posted photos on July 27th that basically declared war. She's sitting in a scenic valley, absolutely demolishing beer and grilled pork belly (samgyeopsal), calling it her "iron stamina" and "actress dinner diet." This wasn't just a casual meal - this was a calculated strike in an ongoing battle with PSY that has the entire Korean internet losing its mind!
The SNS That Started World War Food
On July 21st, PSY shared private KakaoTalk messages with Suzy, and the exchange was more savage than a K-drama villain's revenge plot.
PSY, in crisis mode, sent this tragic message: "The comment section is exploding. But public opinion says I lost. My 25-year career is shaking. I want to gain some weight and request a rematch."
Suzy's response? One word: "Hoot."
In Korean culture, this is basically saying "LOL, cute try" while simultaneously destroying someone's existence. PSY, probably crying into his ramen, replied: "Ouch. Sigh. I even lost to Madonna noona (older sister)."

But Suzy wasn't done! She came back with: "Let's have a competition to see who gets called 'PSY' more often."
When PSY mentioned that "bulking up would take some time," Suzy delivered the comeback of the year: "Amateur. Would a month be enough for you? You can't just hastily put on weight when you set your mind to it."
The Cultural Phenomenon Redefining Celebrity Friendships
What makes this legendary goes beyond social media entertainment. These two previously collaborated during PSY's "Soaking Show" performance, creating the "Love Bug Show" sensation. This isn't random beef - this is friendship with HISTORY!
Their relationship embodies the Korean concept of "jeong" - a deep connection that allows this level of playful rivalry without real animosity.
Seeing Suzy confidently embrace a "weight-gain challenge" while posting photos of herself enjoying beer and grilled pork is genuinely revolutionary in an industry where celebrities face constant pressure to maintain impossible standards.
The fact that PSY, with his global recognition and 25-year career, engages in this humble, self-deprecating exchange speaks volumes about the authenticity Korean entertainment culture can foster.
What started as a simple challenge has evolved into a cultural moment bringing joy to millions while redefining what celebrity friendships can look like in 2025. And honestly? We're absolutely here for every ridiculous, entertaining minute of it!

Park Bo Gum shocks IU with harsh beauty confession, admits to starving himself for clear skin: ‘I skipped meals'
Park Bo Gum and IU, Netflix's favourite couple from When Life Gives You Tangerines, reunited on the August 1 episode of music talk show The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile. As the show aired its season finale, Bo Gum wrapped up his gig as host. The episode turned out to be a mix of surprises, emotions, and sweet moments, including a special message from BTS' Kim Taehyung aka V. During their chat, IU, whose very appearance left Bo Gum in tears, kicked things off by teasing him, saying the 'worlds of dermatology, comedy, and magic are nervous' because of him. In return, the Godd Boy dropped his beauty secret. Also read: Park Bo Gum turns 32: From Song Joong Ki to cult controversy, rare times the Good Boy got dragged into controversies Beyond just having that adorable puppy face, Park Bo Gum is also known for his flawless skin and is one of those rare Korean actors with glass-clear skin and zero surgeries, something his co-star IU (aka Lee Ji Eun) definitely wanted answers for. Responding to her tease about dermatologists being nervous, Bo Gum played along, joking, 'I heard that too. People say looking at my face is like getting a facelift.' While the audience laughed, he dropped something worth noting. To make sure he looked fresh on camera, Bo Gum said he wouldn't eat or drink anything the day before filming, just to avoid a pimple. 'I wanted to look my best,' he said, adding with a smile, 'I didn't even know why I was laughing.' He admitted, 'I really appreciate that people smile when they see my face, so every week before the shoot, I'd skip food completely, just to keep the pimples away.' IU was surprised and asked, 'Even you, Bo Gum?' He added that drinking less water helped him feel more energetic on shoot days. 'If I drink a lot of water and stay hydrated, I look fabulous during 'Cantabile' recordings.' When asked if there was a guest who stood out to him, Bo Gum mentioned Jang Deul Lae and jokingly said, 'The thought of wanting to remove the wedding ring…' He then congratulated her on her marriage and her resized ring, which drew more laughs from the crowd.

But he made sure to send a special video message for the finale. The duo earlier headlined the Paris Fashion Week as the brand ambassadors of Celine. In the video, V said, 'Bo Gum hyung asked me, 'Taehyung Ah, when are you coming on the show?' But I'm in the US right now, so I couldn't make it. I feel bad. If we get a chance later, I'd love to shoot together.' The Winter Bear crooner then thanked fans for supporting Cantabile, promised a great new BTS album next spring, and told everyone to look forward to it. Park Bo Gum was visibly moved by the video. He just sat there in silence, reacting with a soft 'Oh,' while the audience applauded.

Gisele Bündchen explodes over Tom Brady's fatherhood claims as their co-parenting pact crumbles
Tom Brady's recent newsletter stirred controversy. Sources say Gisele Bundchen felt slighted by his comments on fatherhood (Getty Images) Tom Brady's attempt to open up about fatherhood in his 199 newsletter may have caused more damage than healing — especially when it comes to his relationship with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. While the NFL icon reflected on what it means to be a 'great father,' insiders say his remarks landed like a public jab at the woman who once sacrificed her own career to raise their kids. Tom Brady 's newsletter draws fire as sources say communication is now strictly about the kids Though Brady didn't mention Bündchen by name, his statement — 'Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent' — reportedly struck a nerve. According to a source cited in Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop, Bündchen saw the comment as a 'personal dig.' The insider emphasized that the supermodel is growing tired of what they call the 'narrative that he sacrificed everything for them,' adding bluntly, 'He didn't. She did.' No emotional ties left between the former couple, says insider The former power couple, who finalized their divorce in 2022, now reportedly have no 'real relationship' outside of their children, Benjamin and Vivian. According to the source, their dynamic is strictly logistical — 'drop-offs, pick-ups, school events.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Any lingering personal connection, it seems, has withered since the newsletter's release. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Bündchen recently welcomed her third child — her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. While Brady's newsletter attempted to redefine what fatherhood looks like from his perspective, Bündchen is said to be focused on building a 'peaceful' and emotionally fulfilling new chapter. The couple, often spotted on romantic getaways, has sparked wedding speculation in recent months. Gisele Bündchen's quiet clapback: moving on, privately but powerfully Despite the apparent tension, Bündchen isn't fighting fire with fire. Instead, she's channeling her energy into her new life, quietly sharing glimpses of her joy — including a sweet Mother's Day Instagram post featuring her baby. The message is clear: while Brady writes about being a great dad, Bündchen is simply living it — and for some, that says more than any newsletter ever could.

Hailee Steinfeld's latest workout photos break the internet as Josh Allen returns to Bills camp
Hailee Steinfeld raises eyebrows with sizzling new gym photos (Getty Images) While Josh Allen ramps up intensity in his second week of training camp with the Buffalo Bills, his wife Hailee Steinfeld is quietly building her own routine — one rooted not in football, but in fitness, mindfulness, and discipline. The Oscar-nominated actress, who stunned fans in three elegant gowns during their wedding weekend at the picturesque San Ysidro Ranch, has been making wellness a personal priority off the red carpet. Hailee Steinfeld flexes her fitness grind in latest photos before Bills' big year Even with a demanding schedule, Hailee Steinfeld remains deeply committed to taking care of her body and mind. In her recent Beau Society newsletter, she described emerging from a whirlwind trip to New York City, yet still ensuring her workouts weren't sacrificed. 'I work out to stay fit, but it's almost the last reason I do it anymore,' she wrote candidly. 'I love it because it's the only time of day that I can check out entirely. ' Her approach isn't simply about staying camera-ready — it's about emotional resilience and self-care. The 28-year-old actress, who starred in Sinners, emphasized the mental clarity her workouts provide. 'We often work out early so we finish before the rush of the day sets in.

Her commitment has been supported, both emotionally and physically, by her father Pete Steinfeld — a personal trainer and a key figure in her health journey. In Beau Society's August 1 issue, titled 'The Movement Issue,' Pete was interviewed, offering insight into their shared passion. Hailee wrote, 'I never get tired of hearing my dad talk about the thing he loves most in this world: wellbeing.' Hailee Steinfeld embraces balance by letting go of guilt and finding joy in her wellness journey The actress also opened up about her past struggles with body image and the guilt that used to accompany indulging in snacks with friends. That mindset has shifted with wisdom and time. 'I don't do that anymore because I enjoy sweets and snacks, and the company,' she admitted. But a quote from her father helped anchor this change: 'You can't change your body overnight, and you can't mess it up overnight either.' That philosophy — one of balance, consistency, and kindness toward oneself — now defines her outlook. As Josh Allen pursues greatness on the gridiron, Steinfeld is quietly setting her own example of strength: one that doesn't always show up on a scoreboard, but matters just as much.
