Red Velvet Irene revealed a part of her daily travel life with the staff.

SM C&C Studio, the production company of the entertainment program 'Irene's Walk and Holiday', released a main teaser video on July 29th that gives a glimpse into the daily life of singer Irene and human Bae Joo Hyun.

'Irene's Walk and Holiday' is a program that promotes Irene's first reality variety show, and the production company explains that she is going on vacation with the 'Chinchin' (real friend) staff who have been with her on all schedules and daily life from the beginning of her debut until now.

The program drew public attention in that it portrayed the daily life of Irene and her staff, along with the past that climbed on the cutting board as the cause of the controversy over her past staff abuse.

With the launch of this program, Irene, who suffered a blow to her image as a result of the 'controversy of power abuse', has emerged as a concern of K-pop fans whether Irene can try to reverse it.

In the teaser video released this time, Irene preparing for her stage and her traveling with her staff to Bali, Indonesia are depicted.

Before the concert stage, Irene received the staff's makeup and showed a nervous look, saying, "This stage is really shaky." In addition to this, she instructs the staff to “mark the center”, and she also showed meticulous preparation for the stage.

On her Bali trip, she announced her bright current situation as if she had let go of her worries. She can feel her passion for her program in the appearance of Irene, who continues her march, saying, “There is no one left behind.”

The production team emphasized, "It will be a time to meet singer Irene and human Bae Joo-hyun, who have various charms, at the same time."

'Irene's Walk and Holiday' will be released on the OTT platform Season (Seezn) every Thursday and Friday at 6 pm starting from August 4. Anyone can watch it for free, regardless of carrier.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
