New behind-the-scenes photos from 'The Land of Happiness' have just been released, showcasing a range of emotions from the film.

Directed by Choo Chang Min, 'The Land of Happiness' tells the gripping story of Park Tae Joo, who was caught up in the presidential assassination case on October 26, 1979, and lawyer Jeong In Ho, who tackled the high-profile trial during a turbulent time in Korea. The latest photos reveal intense moments from the film and the lively atmosphere behind the scenes.

In one of the intense stills, Jo Jung Suk’s character, Jeong In Ho, appears deep in thought with a serious look. The defense team members, including Lee Man Sik (Woo Hyun) and Byun Ha Myung (Jeon Bae Soo), also wear solemn expressions, reflecting the film's serious tone and the team's struggles during the trial.

However, the behind-the-scenes shots show a different side of the production. Jo Jung Suk and the defense team are seen reviewing footage together, revealing a warm and friendly vibe on set.

Another still captures Lee Sun Kyun’s character, Park Tae Joo, with a stern and serious expression. Despite the intense portrayal, the making-of photos show Lee Sun Kyun grinning happily, highlighting the fun and positive experience of filming.

Yoo Jae Myung, who plays Jeong Sang Doo, also shows a different side in the behind-the-scenes shots. Known for his intense screen presence, he is seen discussing scenes with director Choo Chang Min, demonstrating his dedication and professionalism.

Jo Jung Suk shared his enjoyment of working with his co-stars, saying, "Working with Lee Sun Kyun and Yoo Jae Myung felt like being with three brothers. I was very happy during the shoot."

Yoo Jae Myung added, “We often used the word ‘happy’ on set. It truly was a joyful time together, just like the title of the film.”

'The Land of Happiness' is now playing in theaters across the country.

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.
