Kang Dong Won and writer Jung Seo Kyung, along with director Kim Hee Won, form a top-class combination.

On March 28th, an entertainment industry insider told Sports Chosun, "It seems that Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won will meet in a new drama called 'Bukseong (working title)," and that "their appearance is likely."

'Bukseong' is a work that Jung Seo Kyung announced to be writing after 'Little Women'. It is a spy melodrama about spies who have lost their identity and their story of being sought after, and is expected to captivate viewers.

What is particularly anticipated about this work is that Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won have met through it.

The fact that viewers can see the two top actors, who have each been active on top stages, in a drama is expected to be a gift for viewers.

Jun Ji Hyun has been active as a top actor in movies such as 'Thieves', 'Berlin', 'Assassination', as well as top-grade dramas such as 'My Love from the Star,' 'The Legend of the Blue Sea,' and the 'Kingdom' series.

Jun Ji Hyun has not allowed a single failure in her filmography of movies and dramas, and 'Bukseong' is also expected to add to her perfect filmography.

Kang Dong Won's casting is somewhat surprising. Kang Dong Won has been active on the screen through works such as 'Kundo', 'The Divine Move', and 'The Priests'.

He had not appeared in dramas for about 20 years since 'What Happened in Bali' in 2004 and 'Magic' in 2004. His casting is considered to be exceptional.

Writer Jung Seo Kyung and director Kim Hee Won have already collaborated through tvN's 'Little Women,' which aired last year.

Jung Seo Kyung, who has shown a unique worldview through works such as the drama 'Mother' and movies 'The Handmaiden', 'Thirst', and 'Bat', has received steady attention for her new works since the end of 'Little Women.'

Expectations for her new work have also risen through various announcements. It is also a pleasure to see her reunion with director Kim Hee Won, who received good reviews from 'Little Women' and has shown delicate directorial skills through works such as 'Money Flower' and 'The Sun Does Not Move.'

The perfect combination acknowledged by viewers has raised interest in what kind of results the two can produce through 'Bukseong.'

'Bukseong' will begin filming as soon as casting is completed, and the current broadcasting platform is undecided, with multidimensional discussions underway.

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.
