The actors of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Twenty Five Twenty One" expressed their feelings about the ending.

Kim Tae Ri, who plays Na Hee Do, told the production team on April 3, "I've been running hard for 7 months. I don’t think I will ever forget ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’ for the rest of my life”, she said.

Then continued, “Hee Do, It was an honor to meet such a wonderful person like you. It was nice to meet you”, she said, adding a special greeting to Na Hee Do. Kim Tae Ri said, "When the two of us are together, let's be happy for a moment without anyone knowing. This is a secret between the two of us”.

She recalled, “It was a perfect scene where everything harmonized”, referring to the ending of episode 2, where Na Hee Do offered comfort in a refreshing and pure way.

Nam Joo Hyuk, who plays Baek Yi Jin, recalled the times he did his best, saying, “I worked hard for 7 months and all the actors and staff had fun filming together, so time seems to have passed”.

Nam Joo Hyuk, who left a thank-you note, said, “To all viewers, thank you very much for watching 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. Whether it's a calm sea or rough waves, the youth who are there seems to resemble us".

Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), who plays Ko Yu Rim, said, "It feels like yesterday that I had been preparing and filming for a long time, but I feel very regretful that it has already ended. "

She added, "For the past 7 months, I was grateful that I was Yurim and that I was able to be with 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. It was a precious time to learn, feel, and think a lot while working with great works and good people”.

She continued, “It was an honor to be with the writers, directors, all the staff, and the seniors who guided me well, and I was really grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who has been watching and giving so much love”.

Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), who chose the diving scene of Ko Yu Rim as the famous scene in episode 8, said, “It seems to be the most memorable and attached new scene. Before filming, I was worried about whether I would be able to do well, and this is a scene I worked hard on filming for a long time."

She added, " In particular, it is a scene that still leaves a lot of lingering impressions, as I remember being hurt by Yurim’s emotions, who had no choice but to jump off the diving board”.

Choi Hyun Wook, who plays Moon Ji Woong, said, "I'm really sorry that it's over now. It was an honor to be with 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. Thank you to everyone who has loved 'Twenty Five Twenty One'."

In addition, Choi Hyun Wook, who picked the school trip and the cushion thief scene as the best scenes, said, “We talked a lot together at the set to see how to make it more fun. The school trip scene became a real memory, and I think the cushion thief scene came out ridiculously well. It's a personally satisfying scene".

Lee Joo Myung as Ji Seung Wan said, "It's not easy to let Seung Wan go yet. I thought a lot to play Seungwan, but as much as I thought about it, the characters and dramas were loved a lot, so I think it will remain in my memory for a long time”.

She added, “The good writer and two directors who allowed me to participate in the work ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’. It was an honor to be with you, and I want to say thank you to the seniors who acted when we cried and laughed together. When you want to feel the depth of youth, you will often listen to dramas as if you were opening a graduation album. We sincerely thank the viewers who loved and cared for our drama and each of our characters”.

Lee Joo Myung, who chose the best scene in episode 12 of the conversation with her mother
(in the series), which made even viewers cry, said, “It is memorable because it is a heartbreaking scene that showed that Seung Wan, who only seemed mature and strong, is also a soft and young friend. It felt good to show you the emotions that everyone must have felt or want to feel”.

The production company Hwa & Dam Pictures also said, “Thanks to all the actors who appeared and the staff who filmed, including Kim Tae Ri, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), Choi Hyun Wook, Lee Joo Myung, etc. I would like to convey to you” and “I would like to thank the viewers once again for being with ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’, which wanted to portray the brilliant moment of youth. Please watch the last broadcast of 'Twenty Five Twenty One'".

Episode 16 (final episode) will be broadcast on April 3rd (today) at 9:10 PM.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
