Actor Jo Jung Suk's latest comedy venture is making waves!

According to Lotte Entertainment and the Korean Film Council’s ticketing network, the film 'Pilot,' directed by Kim Han-gyeol, has soared past 1 million viewers within just four days of its release on August 3.

'Pilot' achieved this milestone faster than any other Korean film released this summer, breaking the opening box office record previously held by the 2024 hit 'Excavation.'

In 'Pilot,' Jo Jung Suk stars as Han Jeong-woo, a successful airline pilot who faces a dramatic career setback and loses his job overnight.

To get back in the cockpit, he hilariously adopts his sister Jeong-mi’s (played by Han Sun-hwa) identity and even cross-dresses, leading to a whirlwind of comedic situations.

Jo Jung Suk’s comedic performance and unique storyline have clearly struck a chord with audiences, making 'Pilot' a box office hit in record time!

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
