• “Yumi's Cells” Is Back For Season 2

    Season 2 of the drama "Yumi's Cells," which has been loved by many people, will be next to us this summer.

    On April 26, Tving officially announced that "Yumi's Cells Season 2" will be released in June.

    In addition, a teaser poster for "Yumi's Cells Season 2" was introduced to announce the pink return of Yumi (Kim Go Eun). 

    There were phrases that amplified expectations, such as "The Second Story of Yumi and Cells," "Yumi is Back," and "Cell Stimulation Empathy Romance," all over the poster.

    In particular, Yumi's mature visuals with long hair caught the eye after saying goodbye to her trademark bobbed hair.

    Yumi showed off her beautiful appearance by wearing long hair.

    On top of that, it was also interesting to see the existence of the writer's cells that launched along with Yumi's prime cells (cells representing people).

    The love cell of the center of the still-brilliant and lovely cell village, the writer cell where Yumi will develop her dream that she has folded for a while, and the appearance of Yumi smiling brightly between the two cells further raised questions about the second story of "Yumi's cells."

    In "Yumi's Cells Season 2," Kim Go Eun's trustworthy performance, which maximizes the character's charm and completes the "real-life version of Yumi," continues.

    In the last season, Yumi, an ordinary office worker, grew up through dating and parting with Koo Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun), and she was encouraged by her co-worker Bobby (Jin Young) to try new things. 

    In the second season, the story of Yumi and cells on the border of dream and love is expected to be depicted.

    Meanwhile, Yumi's Cells, which were released simultaneously on TVing and tvN in September last year, drew great attention by portraying Yumi's story of eating, loving, and growing with cells in a pleasant and realistic manner.

    The combination of live-action and 3D animation, which was attempted for the first time in Korea, received favorable reviews not only for upgrading the charm of the original webtoon but also for making use of reality.

  • Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Claps Back at Late Sulli’s Brother’s Claims, Reveals Bed Scene Was Always Part of the Script for ‘Real’

    Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

    On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

    They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

    The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

    Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

    Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

    As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

    Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

    This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
