Actor Park Jin Young, who played the role of Yoo Babi in TVing's "Yumi's Cells 2", revealed a pleasant charm.

On July 21st, Arena Homme Plus published a pictorial and interview with Park Jin Young.

When asked if he felt burdened because of the original fans, Park Jin Young said, "I couldn't turn a blind eye to the original fans. However, I don't think I'll be able to act my own way if I'm conscious of the eyes of webtoon readers", he confessed.

When asked about the difficulty of empathizing with Yoo Babi, he cited "the part where the earthquake occurred in Babi's cell village because his heart was shaken by intern Daeun".

Park Jin Young has just celebrated the 10th anniversary of his debut. “I am less anxious than before”, he said. “It's good if it goes well, but regardless of the outcome, I don't begin with anxiety", he said, showing his growth.

He chose the role of "Park Hyeon Soo in 1995" in the drama "Beloved Eun Dong" because it fueled his acting passion. "It was my first time portraying a character with a subjective narrative, and it was a lot of fun", he recalled.

Park Jin Young, who is already in his 20s, thanked the people around him, saying, "If I had stood alone, I would have fallen quickly, but I don't believe I'd be swept away even if there was a strong wind because I've taken root with good people around me."

Concerning his future, he stated: "I anticipate that my appearance will change and that the characters I can portray will be colorful", adding, "I have no idea where I am right now, but I hope it lasts a long time. I admire senior citizens who continue to work consistently as they age. I desire to continue this work in a steady manner", he said.

The August issue of Arena Homme Plus contains additional photos and interviews.

IU has once again warmed hearts with her sweet and caring nature — this time by personally helping young actress Kim Tae Yeon get ready for her very first awards show.

The two actresses both played the same character, Ae Soon, in different stages of life in the Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines". IU played the adult version while Kim Tae Yeon touched viewers with her emotional performance as young Ae Soon.

Even though Kim Tae Yeon doesn’t have an agency yet, IU made sure the young star wouldn’t be alone. According to insiders, IU personally visited a dress shop with Kim Tae Yeon to help her pick out a beautiful outfit. She even helped with hair and makeup plans, making sure Tae Yeon could shine at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, where both actresses are nominated.

Kim Tae Yeon’s mom posted about the moment on Instagram, saying:

“Tae Yeon met IU unnie and told me to say thank you. Words aren’t enough to express how grateful we are. We were so surprised by her unexpected visit, and her thoughtful care truly touched our hearts. Thank you again to IU for the gift.”

The post also showed a happy Kim Tae Yeon holding IU’s present and choosing a dress — a moment that melted fans’ hearts.

IU is well-known in the industry for her generosity and kindness. While filming "You Have Done Well", she reportedly gave thoughtful gifts and created a warm, friendly vibe on set for everyone, from co-stars to staff.

The drama itself became a big hit, earning praise both in Korea and overseas. IU, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kim Tae Yeon all received Baeksang nominations — a huge achievement, especially for the young star.

Kim Tae Yeon, born in 2011, has been acting since she was little and appeared in dramas like Crash Landing on You, A Dog’s Love Today, and Gyeongseong Creature. But her powerful acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" truly made people cry, smile, and remember her name.

IU didn’t stop at helping Kim Tae Yeon. She also invited fellow cast members Moon So Ri, Park Hae Joon, Ahn Tae Rin, and more to her concert, sending them gifts to show her love and support.

In an earlier interview, IU talked about giving gifts to so many people. She humbly said,

“As I do more projects, there are more people I’m thankful for, but it’s not as hard as people think. I just hope the people receiving the gifts feel happy.”

Talking about the drama, she added,

“It was such a grand project. Just being part of it was a blessing. It made me think, ‘Ji Eun, you really experienced something amazing.’ I’m grateful I could work with such great people.”

Once again, IU has proved she’s not just a talented singer and actress — she’s also a true “Good Deed Queen.”
