Every November, the entertainment industry is often hit by a series of major and minor incidents and tragic news. As a result, terms such as "November urban legend" and "the curse of November" frequently surface around this time each year. With November once again arriving without fail this year, attention is focused on what kind of news will be delivered to the entertainment world next.

On November 15 last year, an incident occurred in which a robber armed with a weapon broke into the home of Nana, an actress and former member of the group After School.

At the time, Nana was at her home in Guri City, Gyeonggi Province, with her mother. She engaged in a physical struggle with the intruder, subdued him, and then reported the incident to the police. In the process, both Nana and her mother sustained physical injuries. In particular, the question of whether Nana's actions constituted self-defense became a point of contention as she subdued the robber, but the police determined that the response by Nana and her mother was justified as self-defense. Subsequently, the case escalated into a legal battle when the robbery suspect, Mr. A, counter-sued Nana.

In the recent appellate trial for Mr. A on charges of aggravated robbery, the court handed down a seven-year prison sentence, the same as in the first instance. Mr. A again claimed that he was not carrying a weapon at the time of the home invasion, but the court did not accept this argument.

On the 25th of the same month, veteran actor Lee Soon-jae passed away at the age of 91, bringing great sorrow to the entertainment industry. The late actor debuted in 1956 with the play "Beyond the Horizon" and established himself as a living witness to Korean popular culture by walking a single path of acting for nearly 70 years. He was active in numerous works, including the dramas "Heo Jun," "Lee San," and "High Kick!," and demonstrated an extraordinary passion for acting by moving between stages and broadcasts until his death. Mournings from the public and colleagues followed the late actor's sudden passing, even as rumors of health issues continued and he did not stop his activities.

In addition to these incidents, the entertainment industry was rocked by a series of major and minor issues, including a truth dispute surrounding actress Lee Yi-kyung's departure from the MBC variety show "What Are You Doing?" and an SNS controversy involving Park Bom, a member of the group 2NE1. Furthermore, at the end of last year, controversies erupted over actor Cho Jin-woong's history as a juvenile offender, Park Na-rae's abuse of power toward her manager, and allegations that Jo Se-ho was involved with organized crime, causing continuous commotion both inside and outside the entertainment industry.

As such, with various controversies and regrettable tragic news continuing around November, the old jinx known as the "November urban legend" is being brought up again. We hope that this year will be an exception to the "November urban legend," allowing the entertainment industry to enjoy a peaceful month without any further sorrowful news.
