Ailee is officially making her comeback, and this time, she’s teaming up with BigHit’s exclusive hitmaker, Pdogg!

On March 20, Ailee will drop her 7th mini album '(Me)moir', which is fully produced by Pdogg, the mastermind behind many of BTS’s biggest hits.

He didn’t just produce the album—he also composed, arranged, and played instruments on all the tracks, including the title song 'MMI', as well as 'Illusion' and 'Meaning'.

Since debuting 13 years ago with 'Heaven', Ailee has worked with some of Korea’s best composers, but this marks the first time she’s releasing an album entirely produced by just one person.

Fans are already curious to see how her sound will change with Pdogg’s signature touch.

Ailee spent about a year working on this album, focusing on both her powerful vocals and new musical elements she hasn’t shown before.

A2Z Entertainment shared, "It is rare for an artist to collaborate with just one producer for a whole album. Ailee’s teamwork with Pdogg helped her grow, and we believe listeners will love this album."

The album title '(Me)moir' is a play on the word 'memoir', with 'Me' in parentheses, symbolizing Ailee’s journey of expressing herself as both an artist and as Lee Ye Jin, her real name.

Leading up to the release, Ailee will unveil concept photos and teasers while preparing to actively promote through music shows and variety programs. Are you excited for Ailee’s comeback?

The When Life Gives You Tangerines cast melted fans’ hearts once again — this time off-screen!

On April 15, the VIP premiere of the film Yadang took place at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, and it quickly turned into a Poksak reunion.

The event was already buzzing with big names like Uhm Tae Woong (who made his first appearance in 8 years), Lee Min Ho, Ha Ji Won, Lee Joo Young, Hyeri, Lee Yu Bi, Kim Sung Kyun, and even Single’s Inferno 4's Lee Si An.

But the surprise appearance of severalWhen Life Gives You Tangerines cast members made fans super emotional.

IU, who played Gwansik’s daughter Geum Myeong in the Netflix series, was spotted quietly entering the theater wearing a mask. A fan who noticed her shared a photo, writing, “Poksak daughter Geum Myeong is here!”

Kim Seon Ho also showed up and quickly got attention. Fans recognized him despite the mask and commented, “Chung Seop is here too!” and “Park Hae Joon’s son-in-law came!” Kim Seon Ho made a special appearance in the series as Geum Myeong’s husband.

Kang Yoo Seok, who played Eun Myeong Yi (Gwansik’s son), also came to support his on-screen dad. Fans left sweet comments like “The son is so thoughtful!”

And of course, Choi Dae Hoon — better known as “Hak Ssi Ahjussi” — made fans smile with his bright energy. People couldn’t stop talking about him, saying things like “He came to see his in-laws’ movie,” and “The whole When Life Gives You Tangerines family is here!”

Before the event, Park Hae Joon shared in an interview with Xports News that he wasn’t sure who would show up, saying, “Everyone’s really busy, so it depends on the situation. But I’d be really happy if we could meet again after a long time.”

Well, they did meet again — and fans couldn’t be happier.

In Poksak, Park Hae Joon played the loving father Gwansik, but in Yadang, he takes on a much tougher role as a drug squad detective who never gives up on catching criminals. His transformation is already gaining attention from fans eager to see him in a new light.

Meanwhile, Yadang officially hit theaters on April 16.
