The Heirs is a Korean drama that caused a fever in Asia for a while.

Not only is Lee Min Ho's Kim Tan trend, but Kim Woo Bin's supporting male role Choi Young Do is equally popular.

However, before Kim Woo Bin's acting in The Heirs made the audience remember, creating a "sub-male effect", this role almost belonged to another name.

Before thinking about Kim Woo Bin, The Heirs crew wanted to invite actor-singer Jung Yong Hwa (CNBLUE leader) to participate in the drama.

Previously, Yong Hwa scored with the "narcotic" supporting role in Handsome Girl, which is also the first time that the handsome man has collaborated with Park Shin Hye.

However, Jung Yong Hwa did not become the supporting actor of The Heirs as the crew wanted because the film production company and FNC - Yong Hwa's management company could not come to a final agreement.

Not stopping there, Yong Hwa himself is not too interested in The Heirs because he wants to try a different kind of role, no longer in the school environment.

He himself did not want to reunite with Park Shin Hye when he acted with her twice, in Handsome Girl and Love Notes (Heartstrings) .

So the crew officially selected Kim Woo Bin to play the role of Choi Young Do of The Heirs.

Previously, Kim Woo Bin scored with projects like To the Beautiful You or Gentleman's Dignity, possessing a diverse and extremely attractive acting style.

After debuting, The Heirs was a huge success and helped Kim Woo Bin become more famous.

He starred with many top stars such as Lee Byung Hun, Kang Dong Won, Suzy, and most recently his wife Shin Min Ah in Our Blues .

As for Jung Yong Hwa, he continues to work in parallel with singing and acting, but because of the strict rules of the Korean entertainment industry, his recognition level is far worse than before.

Most recently, Yong Hwa returned to the drama " Evil Real Estate " with Jang Nara but did not have much success.

Jung Yong Hwa's comeback is not explosive

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
