Compared to the webtoon, the drama version of "A Business Proposal" has a few slight differences.

"A Business Proposal" is a drama adapted from a popular webtoon. This is also one of the main reasons why audiences are interested in watching each episode. In addition, the top fan attraction factor of "A Business Proposal" must also include the cast that look almost exactly like the original characters. Let’s compare the visuals of the webtoon version with the drama version to see what’s the difference!

Kim Se Jeong's Character Modified To Be More Suitable For The Screen

Compared to the original, the image of Shin Ha Ri (Kim Se Jeong) has been modified to be more suitable for the screen.

However, this luxurious image in the film still successfully scored points with the audience. Besides, Ha Ri's expression as well as office fashion are both very similar to the webtoon version.

Shin Ha Ri is is an ordinary office worker who disguises herself as a vixen and goes on a blind date with a prospective marriage partner at the place of her close friend after she requested it. But it turned out to be the CEO of her company.

Shin Ha Ri’s TV version looks gentler and loses her signature pink hair.

Ahn Hyo Seop's Is Quite Similar to the Webtoon Version

It can be said that the image of the male lead Kang Tae Moo (Ahn Hyo Seop) is quite similar to the webtoon version.

However, in terms of the cool and gentle aura like in the webtoon, perhaps we still have to wait for Ahn Hyo Seop to improve in the coming episodes.

Ahn Hyo Seop’s acting and visuals are being compared to the model of Park Seo Joon.

Kang Tae Moo is a very handsome chaebol and he is also the new CEO of Ha Ri's company. He is smart, skilled, and sexy. He is a workaholic who hates lies and has not much experience in love due to past trauma.

Seol In Ah's Charisma Is More Outstanding Than The Webtoon

The tycoon best friend Jin Young Seo (Seol In Ah) is currently very popular with the audience because of her straightforward personality and the right image of a tycoon.

Compared to the webtoon version, perhaps the real-life version is more overwhelming because the actress’ charisma is so outstanding.

Jin Young Seo is the best friend of Shin Ha Ri and the only child of a huge group.

She is part of the broadcasting department and DJ’s a pirate radio show where she passionately shares concerns with listeners about this era, society, school, and individual life.

Kim Min Kyu's Character Has The Closest Image To The Original Webtoon

Among the main characters, perhaps the secretary Sung Hoon (Kim Min Kyu) has the closest image to the original.

Besides the sweet appearance, Kim Min Gyu is also highly appreciated by the audience for his expression and charisma.

Sung Hoon is the chief of staff of Kang Tae Mu.

Chef Min Woo Is Way Beyond The Webtoon Version

The chef Min Woo who is pursued by Ha Ri turned out to have a sweet and captivating image in the drama that is way beyond the webtoon version. No wonder why the female lead pursues him!

Shin Ha Ri‘s Younger Brother

Shin Ha Ri‘s younger brother, Shin Ha Min also has the same image as the original. Although this character hasn’t appeared yet, maybe in the near future the audience will go crazy because of Ha Min‘s visuals!

"A Business Proposal" is about ordinary office worker disguises herself and goes on a blind date with her attractive boss in the place of her friend to end this unwanted marriage blind date after her request.

It airs on SBS every Monday and Tuesday night.

ADOR has responded to NewJeans' recent search for new stage names, claiming that the move could seriously breach their exclusive contract.

On January 23rd, ADOR shared their stance on the matter with Herald POP, addressing the controversy around the members’ contest for new stage names.

The company clarified, "ADOR maintains that the exclusive contract is valid, and we are sincerely following the legal process."

The statement continued, "We regret that the members are attempting independent entertainment activities, such as seeking new stage names before receiving legal judgment, as this could be a serious breach of contract."

The situation dates back to November 28th of last year when NewJeans held an emergency press conference.

At the time, the group announced that they were terminating their exclusive contract with ADOR, stating, "We are terminating the contract with ADOR at midnight on the 29th."

They added, "The fault lies with HYBE and ADOR, so there is no reason for us to file a lawsuit, nor do we have any reason to pay any penalty". Since then, the members have been pursuing their own independent activities.

In response, ADOR filed a lawsuit seeking confirmation of the validity of their exclusive contract with the group.

Before the court could deliver a judgment, ADOR took further legal action, requesting an injunction to prevent NewJeans from independently contacting advertisers.

They also sought a ban on the group entering into advertising contracts without ADOR's approval, maintaining that the agency's status should be upheld.

Not backing down, NewJeans' members appointed the same law firm, Sejong, as ADOR's former representative Min Hee Jin. They declared, "We will fight proudly in court to clarify ADOR’s and HYBE’s wrongdoings and bring the truth to light".

In a bold move, they also announced they would not be returning to HYBE and encouraged fans to participate in their search for new stage names that have no ties to the NewJeans brand.
