Webtoon "Love Alarm", which began serialization in 2014 and was recently completed at the end of Season 9, is a worldwide hit with a cumulative 5 billion views, and has also been made into an original Netflix drama.

Kim Min Jong, CP of Kakao Entertainment, who presented "Real Men" and "My Dream is Ryan", will be in charge of directing the new love reality content.

By fully demonstrating its unique excellent planning and directing skills, it will capture the delicate and subtle emotional changes of the participants who seek the beauty and love of the exciting and tense love reality.

Many people are paying keen attention to how Kakao Entertainment, which presented a new trend in love reality with "Ring, If You Like It", can draw sympathy from viewers this time.

CP Kim Min Jong said, "We will not only implement the 'Love Alarm' application in the webtoon, but also introduce various configurations and unique rules for viewers to participate in", adding, "We will wait for the participation of many courageous people who want to find true love through dating psychological survival."

"Ring, If You Like It" will start filming in earnest in June and will be introduced through Kakao TV in the second half of this year.

Actor Jeong Jae Kwang shared the challenges he faces as a versatile actor, known for his ability to play many different roles.

On the April 4th episode of MBC's "I Live Alone" (episode 590), Jeong Jae Kwang, famous for his role as anesthesiologist Park Kyung Won in "Severe Trauma Center", appeared as a guest and opened up about his career.

During the show, host Jeon Hyun Moo introduced him, saying, "He is most known for his role in 'Severe Trauma Center' and also appeared in 'The Outlaws 2'. He’s been part of many successful projects, but it feels like we’re just now getting to know him."

Later, Key shared his thoughts, saying, "Actors like him are like chameleons, always changing for every role. It makes them feel unfamiliar, even though we should be able to recognize them." Jeon Hyun Moo added, "He plays both good guys and bad guys, doesn’t he?"

Jeong Jae Kwang responded, "That’s exactly why people don’t recognize me," and Park Na Rae seemed surprised, asking, "Don’t people realize that the character from one drama is the same actor in another?"

Jeong Jae Kwang confessed, "It’s a bit disappointing." Despite the struggles of not being easily recognized, he seems to take pride in his ability to transform into different characters, even if it means fans don’t always realize it’s him.
