• Jo Jung Suk Praises Lee Joo Myung: “I’ve Been Watching Her Since ‘Hospital Playlist’”

    Actor Jo Jung Suk recently shared his admiration for Lee Joo Myung, whom he’s been observing since their time on “Hospital Playlist.”

    The movie “Pilot,” directed by Kim Han-gyeol and produced by Shortcake and Movie Rock, held its production preview on the morning of the 26th at Lotte Cinema in Konkuk University, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Han-gyeol and actors Jo Jung Suk, Lee Joo Myung, Han Sun-hwa, and Shin Seung-ho were in attendance.

    While Jo Jung Suk made waves with his dual role transformation in the drama “Twenty-Five Twenty-One,” Lee Joo Myung marked his screen debut.

    Jo Jung Suk shared, “Even though we didn’t have scenes together in ‘Hospital Playlist,’ I closely observed Lee Joo Myung. His talent and charm left a strong impression on me. So, I asked Jung Kyung Ho, who was in a scene with him, ‘What do you think of that actor?’”

    He continued, “Jung Kyung Ho also had positive feedback,” and added, “I’ve been keeping an eye on him ever since, so I was thrilled when he was cast this time.”

    Lee Joo Myung, a bit bashful, responded, “I actually liked myself more,” playfully adding, “When I first saw you in costume during prop shooting, you looked incredibly cool. I thought, ‘Indeed, you’re a senior.’”

    “Pilot” follows the story of Han Jung-woo (played by Jo Jung Suk), a star pilot who suddenly becomes unemployed but makes a successful comeback after a dramatic transformation. The film promises comedy and is scheduled for release on July 31st.

  • Kang Ye Won Breaks Down in Tears, Says She’s ‘Destined to Never Marry’—Joins Dating Show for Her 83-Year-Old Father

    Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

    On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

    During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

    She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

    She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

    When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

    "It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

    However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

    She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

    Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
