Rising star Byeon Woo Seok is set to make a special appearance in the tvN X TVING original drama 'No Gain No Love.' The drama is written by Kim Hye Young and directed by Kim Jung Sik.

According to a report by DongA.com, Byeon Woo Seok will be seen in a cameo role in 'No Gain No Love,' thanks to his connection with director Kim Jung Sik.

The two previously collaborated on last year's JTBC drama 'Strong Woman Gang Nam-soon.' Sources reveal that Byeon Woo Seok quickly agreed to join the project after receiving a call from director Kim.

'No Gain No Love' is a "zero-sum romance" that follows Son Hae Young (played by Shin Min Ah), a woman who decides to get married to avoid losses, and Kim Ji Wook (played by Kim Young Dae), a man who becomes a fake groom to prevent causing harm.

The show premiered on the 26th and has already captured viewers' attention. It recorded an average rating of 4.3% in the metropolitan area, peaking at 5.2%, and an average nationwide rating of 3.8%, peaking at 4.5%, according to Nielsen Korea.

Byeon Woo Seok's special appearance is expected to add even more excitement to the drama. His cameo is scheduled to air in next week's episode of 'No Gain No Love.'

Meanwhile, 'No Gain No Love' is part of the 'tvN X TVING Original' lineup, a joint project by tvN and TVING to reach both TV and OTT audiences. The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM on tvN and is also available on TVING.

A spinoff is planned for later release as a TVING original. Internationally, the show will be available in over 240 countries on Amazon Prime Video under the title 'No Gain No Love.'

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
