Snowdrop is the most anticipated K-drama this December thanks to the participation of Jisoo and Jung Hae In.

Only 2 days left until Snowdrop airs its first episode. Through the exciting trailers and still cuts teasing the sweet chemistry between BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and Jung Hae In, as well as the drama’s compelling storyline, fans are getting more excited than ever for the official broadcast of Snowdrop. Let’s take a look at 4 reasons why you should make sure to give Snowdrop a watch!

• Jung Hae In and Jisoo’s romantic tension

In Snowdrop, Jung Hae In plays Im Su Ho – a student of a prestigious university who suddenly rushes into the dorm of a women’s university with his body covered in blood. Jisoo plays Young Ro – the girl who hides Su Ho and takes care of his injury even when facing danger under close surveillance.

Every time JTBC releases new still cuts and teasers, our hearts flutter because of the loving gazes Su Ho (Jung Hae In) and Young Ro (Jisoo) give one another. In most teasers, the two look like an innocent, refreshing couple of university students, but there is a scene where Young Ro is held at gunpoint by Su Ho, signaling a suspenseful storyline. 

• Snowdrop is written and directed by the duo behind SKY Castle

Snowdrop, directed by Jo Hyun Tak of the hit SKY Castle, is set in 1987 during the Korean democracy movement. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Jung Hae In shared that he decided to participate in Snowdrop because he fully believes in director Jo Hyun Tak and writer Yoo Hyun Mi.

“Snowdrop is the project that I find myself encountering the most difficulties in terms of acting. Therefore, I have even more faith in not only the director and Jisoo but also every member of the production crew. I’m excited but also nervous for the first episode”

BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently revealed the challenges of being the CEO of her own company, LLoud, and shared some behind-the-scenes insights into the struggles of managing her own business.

In a February 28th video uploaded to the YouTube channel Zip Daesung, Lisa sat down as a guest and opened up about her journey as a one-person CEO.

During the shoot, as Lisa was getting her hair touched up, Daesung casually asked, "Have you been working with this crew for a long time?" to which Lisa replied, "Over a year. Ever since I started my company." She was referring to LLoud, the agency she founded just last year.

While discussing her experiences, Lisa added, "It’s fun. Of course, there are difficult parts," but quickly shifted the conversation, jokingly saying, "Aren’t you getting touched up?"

Daesung laughed and explained that his stylist wasn’t around at the moment, "The person who does that is off work. They’ll come back later after working nearby. It’s a bit more flexible." He joked further, "But we only pay for the time they’re here, and if they’re not here, we don’t pay for that time."

Lisa responded humorously, "I don’t think that’s bad. It’s good. Then, please step out for a moment. I don’t need any touch-ups." Her playful remark lightened the mood.

The conversation turned more serious when Daesung asked, "Do you ever feel like a CEO? Do you realize how much money goes out in unexpected places? Do you think, 'Oh, the company paid for this'?"

Lisa responded honestly, saying, "The music video costs are insane. It’s no joke." She went on to explain that managing the costs for music videos can be overwhelming, especially when you’re running a business alone.

Daesung agreed, commenting, "Yeah, both for us and for BLACKPINK, there’s a certain scale we’re used to from YG. The music itself is that kind of style, right?" He then asked, "When making a music video, do you just say, 'Can you please lower the cost?'"

Lisa didn’t hesitate to answer, saying, "Yes, I always ask them to reduce it." She elaborated, "I talk about the budget and ask for help. But it always ends up exceeding the budget. We just want to do our best. We want to meet the expectations."

It’s clear that Lisa’s commitment to her work goes beyond the financials, always striving to meet high expectations despite the challenges that come with running a company.
