KBS 2TV's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'School 2021' (played by Dong Hee-sun, Jo Ara/directed by Kim Min-tae), which will be aired for the first time at 9:30 pm on Wednesday, November 17, released four character posters with four characters and four colors. .

'School 2021' is a work depicting the dreams, friendship, and excitement of children who choose a path other than the entrance exam competition, and the dreams, friendship, and excitement of 18 young people who are placed on an ambiguous boundary.

In the character poster released on October 28th, actors Kim Yo-han (as Gong Ki-joon), Jo Yi-hyeon (as Jin Ji-won), Chu Young-woo (as Jung Young-joo), and Hwang Bo-reum-byeol (as Kang Seo-young) show the characteristics of the characters in 'School 2021'. As it is, it stimulates the curiosity of prospective viewers.

First, Kim Yo-han, who perfectly possessed Ki-jun Gi, who quit Taekwondo, which had been his dream for 11 years due to an injury, draws attention. Kim Yo-han's empty eyes staring into the air in the blue background show the wanderings of Gong-joon whose dreams have disappeared, raising interest in his challenge to find his dreams.

Jo Yi-hyun, who plays Jin Ji-won, who has a clear dream of being a carpenter, is smiling with clenched fists, creating a lively atmosphere. The fight-filled appearance of Jo Yi-hyun can give a glimpse of Jin Ji-won's energy that burns her will for woodworking, raising expectations for her role in Jin Ji-won.

Choo Young-woo, who played the role of Jung Young-joo, a secret transfer student with a lot of rumors to follow, catches the eye by showing off a sharp feeling. Especially 'don't talk. The phrase ‘I don’t want to die’ amplifies the curiosity about the cool and defensive Jung Young-joo character.

Lastly, Hwang Bo-reum-byul realistically portrayed Kang Seo-young, who has an unusual will for college, with her firm and ambitious eyes. Attention is paid to whether Hwang Bo-reum-byul, who is holding his back and making a chic expression, will be able to meet the second act of her life by going to college.

The production team of 'School 2021' said, "Kim Yo-han, Jo Yi-hyun, Choo Young-woo, and Hwang Bo-reum-byul are exuding extraordinary synergy through perfect breathing. Please look forward to how the four characters with different ideas about their dreams of acting will harmonize through woodworking and what kind of chemistry they will show.”

KBS 2TV's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'School 2021' will premiere on November 17 (Wednesday) at 9:30 pm.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
