Beloved actor Yoo Yeon Seok, known for his heartwarming characters, is ready to give you goosebumps in the upcoming K-Drama, "A Bloody Lucky Day."

Fans adore Yoo for his roles as a friendly doctor in "Hospital Playlist" and a loving baseball player in "Reply 1994." But now, get ready for a shocking transformation as he becomes a relentless serial killer in Tving's "A Bloody Lucky Day."

This transformation is a big deal, as the show has been selected for the "On Screen" section of the 28th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF).

In an exclusive look at his preparation for the role, Yoo revealed that he studied real-life psychopaths. He learned from them during a special Guest Visit event in Busan.

Yoo Yeon Seok explained, "I noticed that actual psychopaths have sharp, focused eyes when they speak. I aimed to bring that cold simplicity to my portrayal, capturing their directness and clarity."

The series, based on a beloved webcomic, centers around Oh Taek, a taxi driver played by Lee Sung Min. Oh's day seems lucky after a dream involving a pig, a symbol of good luck. He has a string of fares promising good earnings.

However, as night falls, his last passenger, Hyuk Soo, played by Yoo, offers a large sum for a long trip. What starts as a normal ride takes a dark turn when Oh realizes he's trapped with a murderer.

For Yoo, this series came at the right time, as he was eager to explore darker roles.

Yoo Yeon Seok said, "While filming a medical series, I wanted to diversify my portfolio. This script came my way, and the webcomic got me hooked on the character."

Tving's gripping series will be available for streaming in November. So, K-Drama fans, get ready for suspense, drama, and exceptional performances!

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.
