Seo Kang Joon is going all out for his new drama!

On February 17, the actor made a special appearance on the YouTube channel Jjan Hyang-hyung, where he opened up about his career, upcoming project, and even made an exciting promise.

During the chat, Seo Kang Joon shared his thoughts on choosing projects, saying, “People always tell me to pick a drama that will be well-loved. While I understand that, I still hesitate. When I take on a role, I need to have a reason I can explain at the press conference.” His words show just how much thought he puts into each project.

After completing his military service, Seo Kang Joon is making his long-awaited return with Undercover High School, his first drama in over two years.

To show his confidence in the series, he made a surprise pledge, saying, “If the ratings go over 12%, we’re all going on an overseas trip together.” But that’s not all—he then shocked everyone by adding, “I’ll be the one paying for it.”

Laughing, he recalled how the production team reacted, saying, “They joke around and ask, ‘What if it really happens?’” But he stood by his promise, saying, “I wouldn’t regret it. If the drama succeeds, there’s more to gain than just money.”

Shin Dong Yup, who was also part of the discussion, playfully responded, “You should hold a fan meeting first! That way, you can save up for the trip,” making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Undercover High School is an action-packed drama about a National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent who goes undercover as a high school student to track down a legendary lost treasure.

Seo Kang Joon takes on the role of the undercover agent, marking his highly anticipated return to the small screen since his military discharge in May 2023.

The drama is set to premiere on February 21, and with Seo Kang Joon’s bold promise on the line, fans are more excited than ever to see how it performs!

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
