On April 17, more details emerged about Kang Tae Oh and Lee Sun Bin's upcoming drama.

"Potato Research Institute," this romantic comedy with a twist revolves around the unconventional journey of Kim Mi Kyung (played by Lee Sun Bin), a woman whose life takes a dramatic turn as she faces heartbreak and unemployment.

Seeking solace, she retreats to her brother’s guesthouse, where she stumbles upon a job opportunity at the whimsically named 'Fairy Food Research Institute.' While working in the field one chilly day, Kim discovers a lone potato seed on the frozen ground.

Struck by a sudden epiphany about the resilience of potatoes, she develops an all-consuming passion for these tubers, sparking a series of amusing and heartwarming adventures.

Kang Tae Oh is set to portray a character vastly different from his previous role as Lee Jun Ho in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."

Playing the role of So Baek Ho, a man indifferent to potatoes, Kang Tae Oh's character is appointed as the new director of the institute. Despite his charming smile, soft voice, and striking looks reminiscent of a romance novel cover, Baek Ho is simple in many ways.

He is depicted as an outsider, thriving independently with no personal connections, friends, and a touch of roughness.

Initially at odds, Kim Mi Kyung and So Baek Ho gradually find themselves drawn to each other, eventually embarking on an unexpected office romance despite Kim's initial vow against it.

Filming is scheduled to commence in the last week of May 2024. Produced by CJ ENM and Chorokbaek Media, known for their works like "Park's Marriage Contract" and "Perfect Marriage Revenge," the 12-episode drama, with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes per episode, is slated to air on tvN in the first half of 2025.

After eight years of hard work, ONF has finally achieved their first-ever win on a major music show!

On February 28, ONF took the No.1 spot on KBS 2TV’s Music Bank with The Stranger, the title track from their 2nd full album Part.1 ONF: MY IDENTITY.

This victory comes a whopping 2,766 days after their debut, proving that ONF is a true late-blooming group.

Fans were especially touched because the members had set this goal during their comeback showcase—making the moment even more meaningful.

During their acceptance speech, the group couldn’t hold back their emotions, saying, "We were able to receive this award thanks to FUSE. Thank you so much. We are also grateful to our staff and families who have supported us along the way."

Their encore stage also became a hot topic. Overwhelmed with emotions, the members teared up, but they quickly regained their composure and delivered a flawless live performance, once again proving why they are known as encore kings.

ONF has been on fire since their comeback, setting personal records left and right. ONF: MY IDENTITY recorded their highest first-week album sales and topped the Circle Chart album rankings.

Meanwhile, The Stranger hit No.1 on domestic music charts and also ranked first on the Circle Chart’s download rankings, showing its massive popularity.

With two music show trophies now under their belt, ONF will continue promotions with performances on MBC’s Show! Music Core on March 1 and SBS’s Inkigayo on March 2.

Fans are excited to see what’s next for the group.
