    Get ready for some major heart-fluttering moments as actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's latest photo shoot and interview have just been released!

    The dynamic duo teamed up for a fun and lively photo shoot with the fashion magazine 'Elle'. The shoot was all about capturing their vibrant chemistry, which we'll get to see more of in their upcoming tvN drama 'Lovely Runner', set to premiere on April 8th. The theme? Nothing less than the fresh and exciting love of youth.

    Following the photo shoot, the pair sat down for an interview. In 'Lovely Runner', Byeon Woo Seok plays Ryu Sunjae, a top star whose life takes a turn when his passionate fan, Im Sol, travels back in time to when she was nineteen. Speaking about his role, Byeon Woo Seok shared, "Beautiful scenes kept flashing in my mind. I knew I wanted to be Sunjae."

    He also had nothing but praise for his co-star Kim Hye Yoon, saying, "The drama was challenging to shoot, but seeing Hye Yoon's bright smile on set made everything easier."

    When asked about the idea of going back in time to meet his first love, Byeon Woo Seok confessed, "I wouldn't want to go back. I fear that my precious childhood memories might lose their color. I want to cherish them as they are for a lifetime."

    Meanwhile, Kim Hye Yoon, who plays the role of Im Sol, opened up about her experience working on the drama. She admitted, "The script was intriguing. I felt a good kind of pressure wondering if I could portray 'Sol' well."

    She also revealed that the drama and the original web novel both challenged her with the task of 'acting in her 30s', the oldest age she's ever portrayed.

    Speaking about her connection with her character, she said, "Sol changes her fate and finds a new will to live by being a fan of her favorite star, Sunjae. I deeply empathized with the fans' hearts while playing Sol. Their letters always touch me, and playing Sol made me understand their feelings even more. The stories we've built together are truly precious to me."

  • BLACKPINK Jennie’s Mom Had a Hilarious Reaction to Her Becoming a Chanel Ambassador—Her Response? “Ah, It’s Over”

    BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

    On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

    Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

    During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

    As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

    Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

    She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

    When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

    Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

    But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

    Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

    Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

    After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
