• 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.”

  • Kang Ye Won Breaks Down in Tears, Says She’s ‘Destined to Never Marry’—Joins Dating Show for Her 83-Year-Old Father

    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.
