• P.O Talks About His First Project After Marine Corps Discharge: "I Wanted to Grow My Hair Quickly"

    Actor P.O is back with his first project, 'Good Partner,' after finishing his service in the Marine Corps.

    On the 10th, SBS held a production presentation for the Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner' in Seoul. Director Kim Garam, Jang Nara, Nam Ji-hyun, Kim Joon-han, and Pyo Jihoon (also known as P.O) attended the event.

    P.O shared his thoughts on divorce, a key theme in 'Good Partner.' He said, "I didn't know much about divorce. I used to think it was something that shouldn't happen. But while filming, I learned that our drama doesn't encourage divorce; instead, it shows that it's a necessary system for those who need it."

    Talking about his first drama after his discharge, P.O said, "When I first heard about 'Good Partner' after my discharge, my hair was very short. I thought I needed to grow it quickly. The script was so interesting, and I felt like 'Good Partner' chose me, so I worked hard on the filming."

    'Good Partner' is a drama about the dynamics in a legal office, focusing on divorce cases. The story features Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Nara), a star lawyer for whom divorce is a calling, and Han Yoori (played by Nam Ji Hyun), a rookie lawyer experiencing divorce cases for the first time. It shows the realistic lives of people going through divorce.

    Jang Nara plays Cha Eun-kyung, a sharp and efficient veteran lawyer. Nam Ji Hyun plays Han Yoori, a passionate rookie lawyer who can't stand injustice. Kim Joon Han is Jung Woo-jin, Cha Eun-kyung's reliable junior and partner lawyer. P.O plays Jeon Eun-ho, an optimistic lawyer who believes in balancing work and love.

    'Good Partner' will air its first episode at 10 PM on the 12th, following 'Connection.'

    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.
