• Jang Ki Yong Says His Dream of Working with Song Hye Kyo Came True with ‘Now, We Are Breaking Up’

    Actors Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong boasted their perfect chemistry in the pictorial.

    The two, who worked as a couple through the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Now, We're Breaking Up (hereafter Jihe-jung)', which will be aired for the first time on the 12th, filmed a pictorial with the fashion culture magazine Dazed before the broadcast.

    In the cover story with Fendi, the two showed a perfect couple breathing. In an interview with the pictorial, Song Hye-kyo said, "Love walks into the life of Young Eun, who wants to stay professional but lives freely without being swayed by personal emotions, once again. But even then, she makes wise decisions and thinks healthy. I’m learning from her as I act. " she said, expressing her affection for the character.

    Jang Ki-yong said, “Jae-guk i full of passion and confidence in his life as well as his work.” He added, “He is cool even in front of love, and in many ways, he’s very mature. He is quite different from the roles I’ve played so far, so I had many worries.."

    What was the couple's breathing like? Jang Ki-yong said,  “Working with Song Hye Kyo was like a very distant goal that I had. A picture I had only drawn in my imagination came true much sooner than I expected, so I was all dazzled from the table read,” Jang answered. “I just thought I had to do a good job. I hope that when I’m standing with Song Hye Kyo, we look like Ha Young Eun and Yoon Jae Gul instead of two actors.”

    About Jang Ki-yong, Song Hye-kyo said, "I had a lot of difficulties while filming because he was an innocent, bright, cheerful, and flawless friend, but he followed me well until the end. Because he was a mature friend who didn't hurt his pride in asking questions and asking for help. I was able to help without any difficulties. Ki-yong seems to be loved wherever he goes."

    Now, We Are Breaking Up is a breaking-up version of Love Actually. It will paint out the sweet, spicy, and sour love story that writes “breakup” but reads it as “love.” The series will premiere on November 12th as a follow-up of One the Woman.

    Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong's pictorial can be seen through the 'Dazed' winter edition and website.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
