Actor Lee Do Hyun, who played a lead role in the Netflix series "The Glory" recently gave an interview and photoshoot.

In the interview, released on March 17, Lee Do Hyun shared his thoughts on the success of the drama, saying "It's the first time a project I've worked on has done well worldwide, so I'm amazed at all the reactions. I've received a lot of messages from friends overseas who recognize me."

Lee Do Hyun played the character of Joo Young Jeong, and he revealed that he wanted to portray the character as enigmatic and mysterious to the viewers.

"Even in a melodrama, I didn't want to overdo it, but I also didn't want to be too conservative in my expressions. So, in the early stages of filming, I worked with Song Hye-kyo, the director, and the writer to adjust that level," he said, explaining the process of discussing opinions with the staff and fellow actors on set.

He also spoke about working with Song Hye Kyo, saying, "It was always tough to extract maximum energy while moving minimally within the designated angles.Song Hye Kyo noona is an excellent actress who conveys emotions well, even without expressions. It's somewhat paradoxical, but I thought to myself, 'This is what true acting prowess looks like.' I learned a lot from her on set."

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
