Co-stars of tvN’s upcoming weekend drama ‘The Midnight Romance in Hagwon’, Jung Ryeo Won and Wi Ha Joon, have posed for a captivating pictorial with ‘Elle’ magazine.

In their interview with the magazine, both co-stars opened up about their preparation process for their roles in ‘Midnight Romance’.

Jung Ryeo Won, who portrays the role of celebrity tutor Seo Hye Jin, shared, “Initially, I was unfamiliar with the various terms for college entrance exams and preparation, and was pretty much clueless about South Korea’s education system. I listened to numerous YouTube lectures and sought advice from real-life tutors. People can instantly tell if I’m not using certain terms naturally, so I also secretly attended tutoring classes and listened to recordings daily.”

Wi Ha Joon, who will be undergoing a dramatic transformation after his performance in the Disney+ series 'The Worst of Evil', revealed, "To immerse myself in my character, I began listening to romantic music and watching romance genres. What's surprising is that the more I become immersed in the character of Jun Ho, the more people tell me that my eyes look kinder these days. I am even dressing differently, and my friends asked me the other day if something was going on."

Meanwhile, tvN's 'The Midnight Romance in Hagwon' airs every Saturdays and Sundays at 9:20 PM KST.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
