• 'Our Blues' New Teaser Video Was Released

    Writer Noh Hee Kyung's new work 'Our Blues' has finally been released.

    Recently, tvN drew attention by releasing a teaser video for the drama 'Our Blues', which will be aired next month on the official YouTube channel.

    The teaser released this time contains the story of Lee Byung Hun and Shin Min Ah.

    Lee Byung Hun takes on the role of Lee Dong Seok, a truck maker who was born in Jeju and lived a rough life. Shin Min Ah portrays the role of Min Seon Ah, who returned to Jeju with her story, and heralds a new transformation that she has not shown before.

    The teaser begins with Shin Min Ah appearing in the sea on Jeju Island.

    The sound of waves crashing in the wind is heard, and Lee Byung Hun finds Shin Min Ah on the boat.

    Shin Min Ah, who gazes at the sea endlessly while drowning in thoughts, and Lee Byung Hun, who looks at her in a curious way, makes us curious about the relationship between the two.

    Lee Byung Hun expressed his anger at Shin Min Ah, saying, "You don't know me?", "You know? You know, but you don't even say 'Hello' or 'How are you?' .

    On the next screen, scenes that look like the two of them in school days unfold dimly, and the story of the two meetings again as adults begin.

    In the video, a meaningful copy of 'the kid who trampled me and left me appeared in a more shabby look than me' appears, raising curiosity.

    In the final scene, Shin Min Ah bursts into tears at the breakwater, while Lee Byung Hun is guarding her side.

    You can check out what happened between the two people who leave a deep impression only with the trailer through this broadcast.

    On the other hand, 'Our Blues' is an omnibus drama that supports the sweet and bitter lives of all who stand at the end, climax, or beginning of life.

    In addition to Lee Byung Hun and Shin Min Ah, 14 other actors including Cha Seung Won, Lee Jung Eun, Han Ji Min, Kim Woo Bin, Kim Hye Ja, Go Doo Shim, and Uhm Jung Hwa will appear.

    'Our Blues', which has been a hot topic since the production stage due to its brilliant casting, can be seen at 9:10 pm on April 9th.

  • Architect Calls Out KBS Drama for Hammering Nails Into Cultural Heritage Site—What Really Happened?

    A recent KBS drama shoot starring Girls' Generation's Seohyun and 2PM's Taecyeon has sparked controversy after accusations of damaging a UNESCO World Heritage site.

    On January 2, architect Min Seo Hong took to Facebook to criticize the production of the upcoming drama I Took the Male Lead's First Night, which used Byeongsan Seowon, a historic Korean Confucian academy, as a filming location.

    His post, titled "An Account of What I Witnessed at Byeongsan Seowon," detailed shocking allegations about the crew's actions.

    Min shared that he visited Byeongsan Seowon on December 30, only to find the site bustling with drama staff.

    "As I approached, I saw crew members moving around. At first, I didn’t realize it was a filming set, but when I entered the seowon, I felt uneasy knowing this historic site was being used this way," he wrote.

    What he saw inside was alarming. According to Min, props were scattered throughout the seowon, and staff were hammering nails into wooden pillars to hang lights.

    When he confronted them, they reportedly dismissed his concerns, saying, "We already have permission from Andong City. If you’re curious, contact them."

    Determined to take action, Min contacted Andong City’s Cultural Heritage Department. A city official admitted they had approved the filming but appeared unaware of the damage being done.

    "When I asked if they knew about the nails in the wooden pillars, they seemed flustered and promised to order their removal immediately," Min shared.

    Experts later informed Min that incidents like this aren’t uncommon, with some modern heritage sites even being dismantled for filming. "People might think hammering nails is minor, but in traditional Korean houses, it’s a big deal to even drive in one nail. For cultural heritage, this should never happen," he said.

    Min’s biggest concern is the decision to allow such a valuable site, designated as Historic Site No. 260 and a UNESCO World Heritage site, to be used for filming at all. "This was a KBS drama production, and it’s deplorable that they showed such little care for cultural heritage," he added.

    The drama, I Took the Male Lead's First Night, is already drawing backlash before its release, with many netizens expressing anger over the alleged damage to the historic site. Comments online include:

    "Why are cultural heritage sites being used as filming locations in the first place?"

    "If this is true, KBS owes an apology not just to viewers but to the nation."

    "Respect for cultural heritage should come before making a drama."

    Neither KBS nor the drama's production team has released an official statement regarding the allegations.

    However, the issue has sparked heated debate, with many calling for stricter regulations on the use of heritage sites for filming.
