Lee Seung Hyub shared his thoughts as Love Next Door came to an end.

In tvN’s weekend drama Love Next Door, Lee Seung Hyub played Bae Dongjin, the younger brother of Bae Seokryu (played by Jung So Min), who dreams of becoming a fitness trainer.

His portrayal of Dongjin, an immature yet funny character, grabbed the audience’s attention. Even with his flaws, Dongjin was hard to dislike and added a lot of humor to the drama.

To prepare for his role as an aspiring fitness trainer, Lee Seung Hyub stuck to a strict diet and workout routine to match the character’s appearance. His realistic acting made Dongjin a key part of the story.

Before the finale, Lee Seung Hyub shared his feelings through his agency. “Love Next Door gave me so much valuable experience, and I was happy to play the immature Dongjin.

He added, "Reading the script made me think about myself and my family, and it reminded me how important family is. I also got to see my parents more often during filming.”

He added, “I’m really thankful to the director and senior actors who helped me focus and learn a lot. I was nervous, but I had so much fun filming, and I’ll never forget this experience. I’ll keep working hard to improve. Dongjin might have seemed unlikable, but thank you for watching him until the end.”

Lee Seung Hyub will continue his career as both a singer and actor, with N.Flying’s Asia tour, 2024 N.Flying LIVE ‘HIDE-OUT’ in ASIA, starting in Bangkok this November.

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.
