• Kang Hoon: "Joined Announcer Academy Right After Deciding to Appear in 'To My Hae-ri'"

    Actor Kang Hoon's latest photoshoot has just been unveiled.

    Kang Hoon recently wrapped up a photoshoot and interview for L'Officiel YK Edition. In the shoot, he displayed a range of styles, from casual outfits to bold patterns and bright colors, perfectly capturing a romantic autumn vibe. His intense gaze and creative poses with unique props showcased his diverse charms.

    In the interview, Kang Hoon talked about his upcoming role in the Genie TV drama 'To My Hae-ri', which starts airing on September 23.

    The drama is a romance about healing emotional wounds between newscaster Eun-ho (played by Shin Hye Sun) and her ex-boyfriend Hyun-oh (played by Lee Jin Wook). Kang Hoon plays Kang Joo-yeon, a model student and newscaster who is inexperienced with love.

    Kang Hoon shared, “As soon as I confirmed my role, I joined an announcer academy. My character went to all-boys schools and a military academy, so he didn’t have many chances to meet women. Since I was in a sports team when I was younger, I could relate a bit to this.” He discussed how he prepared for his role.

    When asked about the appeal of 'To My Hae-ri', he said, “It’s interesting to see how the characters’ emotional wounds and empty spaces in their hearts heal over time.” He also mentioned, “I’ve always wanted to work with Shin Hye Sun and Lee Jin Wook. They are not only amazing actors but also very kind and supportive, which has been a big motivation for me.”

  • Former BTOB Member Jung Ilhoon Shares Thoughts on Music Comeback After 5 Years

    Former BTOB member Jung Ilhoon has shared his thoughts on returning to the music scene after a five-year hiatus.

    On November 24, Jung Ilhoon announced his comeback through Instagram, revealing his new single, Lullaby.

    He expressed his gratitude, writing, “It’s been a while, but I’m happy to greet you with the single Lullaby. Thank you to the fans who supported me during this long wait, and I’m also grateful to everyone who helped me along the way.”

    He also reflected on the emotional significance of his return, saying, “This feels like a moment we both dreamed of—fans and I alike—which makes it especially meaningful. I hope you’ll continue to support me as I move forward.”

    Jung Ilhoon first debuted with BTOB in 2012 and gained recognition for his talent as a rapper and songwriter. However, in 2020, he left the group after admitting to charges of habitual marijuana use.

    Initially sentenced to two years in prison, his sentence was later reduced to a suspended sentence of three years during an appeal, allowing for his release.

    Following the incident, he publicly apologized, saying, “I deeply regret the harm I caused to society and the disappointment I brought to those who trusted me. I promise to live righteously and not bring pain to anyone again.”

    Fans are now eagerly awaiting Ilhoon’s new single, Lullaby, marking his first step back into the music world.
