• Most People Don't Know, Park Eun Bin Initially Declined the Offer to Star in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo"

    Park Eun Bin revealed that she initially declined the offer to star in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo".

    Recently, Allure Korea conducted an interview with Park Eun Bin during a photoshoot.

    On this date, Park Eun Bin was asked why she chose to appear in the ENA drama "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."

    The actress responded that she simultaneously received casting offers for "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" and "The King's Affection" on KBS2.

    Regarding "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," she admitted, "I knew it was a good story, but I lacked confidence in my ability to perform it well at the time".

    She added, "It was a work that made me feel greedy and a little burdened at the same time, and I questioned whether or not I could perform it without harming anyone".

    Park Eun Bin stated that she declined the "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" casting offer multiple times for this reason. She subsequently began filming "The King's Affection".

    With the belief that no one could portray Woo Young Woo better than Park Eun Bin, "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" screenwriter Moon Ji Won and director Yoo In Sik waited nearly a year until she completed filming "The King's Lover" to offer her the role again, and Park Eun Bin eventually agreed.

    Park Eun Bin stated, "The screenwriter and director had faith in me, so I believe I should repay them".

    She continued, "It was extremely difficult for me to play that role, but I eventually figured it out, and everything went smoothly thereafter".

    She concluded, "That was also when I became aware of the director's and writer's expectations for me. I have faith in myself as well. This work occasionally reminds me of my faith and has given me the courage to confront my fear".

    "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" depicts the survival of rookie lawyer Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin), who has a brilliant mind and autism spectrum disorder, in a large law firm.

    "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" has already broken the highest rating record in the history of ENA channel with only four episodes released.

    The drama is currently ranked No. 1 on Netflix's TV show chart in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, indicating that it is gaining immense popularity.

  • BLACKPINK’s Lisa Opens Up About the Toughest Part of Being a CEO and How She Handles Budget Issues

    BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently revealed the challenges of being the CEO of her own company, LLoud, and shared some behind-the-scenes insights into the struggles of managing her own business.

    In a February 28th video uploaded to the YouTube channel Zip Daesung, Lisa sat down as a guest and opened up about her journey as a one-person CEO.

    During the shoot, as Lisa was getting her hair touched up, Daesung casually asked, "Have you been working with this crew for a long time?" to which Lisa replied, "Over a year. Ever since I started my company." She was referring to LLoud, the agency she founded just last year.

    While discussing her experiences, Lisa added, "It’s fun. Of course, there are difficult parts," but quickly shifted the conversation, jokingly saying, "Aren’t you getting touched up?"

    Daesung laughed and explained that his stylist wasn’t around at the moment, "The person who does that is off work. They’ll come back later after working nearby. It’s a bit more flexible." He joked further, "But we only pay for the time they’re here, and if they’re not here, we don’t pay for that time."

    Lisa responded humorously, "I don’t think that’s bad. It’s good. Then, please step out for a moment. I don’t need any touch-ups." Her playful remark lightened the mood.

    The conversation turned more serious when Daesung asked, "Do you ever feel like a CEO? Do you realize how much money goes out in unexpected places? Do you think, 'Oh, the company paid for this'?"

    Lisa responded honestly, saying, "The music video costs are insane. It’s no joke." She went on to explain that managing the costs for music videos can be overwhelming, especially when you’re running a business alone.

    Daesung agreed, commenting, "Yeah, both for us and for BLACKPINK, there’s a certain scale we’re used to from YG. The music itself is that kind of style, right?" He then asked, "When making a music video, do you just say, 'Can you please lower the cost?'"

    Lisa didn’t hesitate to answer, saying, "Yes, I always ask them to reduce it." She elaborated, "I talk about the budget and ask for help. But it always ends up exceeding the budget. We just want to do our best. We want to meet the expectations."

    It’s clear that Lisa’s commitment to her work goes beyond the financials, always striving to meet high expectations despite the challenges that come with running a company.
