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.

While Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) continues to make shocking claims about Kim Soo Hyun, YouTuber Lee Jin Ho has stepped up to clear Cha Eun Woo’s name.

On April 3, Lee Jin Ho uploaded a video titled "After Kim Soo Hyun, is Cha Eun Woo next? Fact-checking Gaseyeon’s false claims" on his YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin Ho.

Lee Jin Ho strongly denied Gaseyeon’s claim that Cha Eun Woo didn’t attend Kim Sae Ron’s funeral, saying, “This proves once again that they don’t even check basic facts.”

He added, “Cha Eun Woo was definitely at the funeral. He was there from the first evening until late at night. Multiple people saw him, greeted him, and even sat with him at the table.”

The rumor started on March 31, when Kim Se Ui, a member of Gaseyeon, made a cryptic statement during a live broadcast, saying, “Cha Eun Woo, Cha Eun Woo’s manager, you will face divine punishment.” This immediately sparked speculation.

Cha Eun Woo and Kim Sae Ron were known to be close, especially when she was under Fantagio. They worked together on the web drama To Be Continued and co-hosted Show! Music Core. Fans were surprised when rumors spread that Cha Eun Woo didn’t attend her funeral, but Lee Jin Ho’s statement has now set the record straight.

Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family has taken legal action against Lee Jin Ho, filing a defamation lawsuit on March 17 under the Information and Communications Network Act. Ten days later, they also sued him under the anti-stalking law, accusing him of exposing private details about Kim Sae Ron and her family.
