Actress Ahn Eun Jin became a hot topic online following her appearance at the 2025 SBS Drama Awards on December 30 KST. The star attended the ceremony with her Dynamite Kiss co-star Jang Ki Yong, and the pair took home the Best Couple award. While their on-stage chemistry delighted fans, it was Ahn’s red carpet look that truly set social media abuzz.
For the event, Ahn wore a floor-length pink gown featuring a relaxed fit on top and a more form-fitting silhouette toward the bottom, complete with a short train. At first glance, the dress appeared elegant and understated. However, fans later realized that the gown was completely backless, adding a bold twist to the otherwise simple design. Styled with a sleek low ponytail and minimal diamond accessories, the look aimed for refined sophistication.
Mixed Reactions to Red Carpet Look and Sudden Retirement Announcement
Despite the polished styling, online reactions were sharply divided. Some netizens criticized the outfit, questioning the stylist’s choices and suggesting that only Ahn’s natural beauty salvaged the look. Comments ranged from confusion about the dress’s structure to playful comparisons. Others, however, defended the actress, noting that the gown appeared more flattering during the live broadcast and praising her visuals regardless of the styling controversy.
Meanwhile, another unexpected development made headlines in the Korean entertainment industry. Actor Cho Yoon Woo announced his retirement from acting at age 34 to marry his longtime girlfriend. Sharing the news via Instagram, he revealed that after 15 years in the industry, he decided to step away to focus on building a quiet life with someone he has dated for over four years.
Cho debuted in the 2011 tvN drama Flower Boy Ramen Shop and gained wider recognition for his role in The Heirs. His sudden retirement has surprised fans, marking a significant shift in his career and personal life.
