Actor Jo In Sung has been chosen as the new brand ambassador for Johnnie Walker.

On August 19th, Diageo Korea, the company behind the world's top-selling Scotch whisky brand, Johnnie Walker, announced their decision to select Jo In Sung as the ambassador. The actor, known for his 26-year career in the entertainment industry, has recently gained attention for his roles in the Disney+ drama Moving and films like Escape from Mogadishu and Smugglers.

Diageo Korea shared that they picked Jo In Sung because his versatile charm and timeless sophistication align perfectly with the premium quality of Johnnie Walker. His dedication to taking on new challenges, even at the height of his acting career, mirrors the brand's "Keep Walking" spirit, making him an ideal representative.

Johnnie Walker offers a range of whisky labels, including Blue, 18, Green, Gold, Double Black, Black, Blonde, and Red, catering to various tastes and occasions. The "Johnnie Walker Blue" is particularly famous for its exceptional quality, created by blending rare whiskies, with only one out of every 10,000 casks selected. This careful selection process results in a smooth and unique flavor.

Kim Jwa-hyun, Marketing Director at Diageo Korea, expressed excitement about the collaboration, saying, "We are thrilled to have Jo In Sung, who continues to push boundaries as an actor, join us as the new face of Johnnie Walker. We expect great synergy between his wide-ranging appeal and the diverse labels of Johnnie Walker, which can be enjoyed in various settings."

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.
