• Go Youn Jung says even her own mom didn’t recognize her voice after shocking OST edit

    Actress Go Youn Jung had fans laughing with a funny story about her singing!

    On April 18, a new video titled "When you quietly watch 'Unsljeon'... 'It's fun, right?' 'Yes.'" was posted on YouTube’s Channel Fifteen Nights. The video featured Go Youn Jung, Shin Si A, Kang Yoo Seok, Han Ye Ji, and director Shin Won Ho from the tvN drama A Life of a Resident That Will Be Wise Someday (Unsljeon).

    While talking about the drama's OST, director Shin Won Ho revealed that they originally planned to have idols sing all the songs. "Since the main characters are young, we thought idols would match best," he explained. "But then we thought, why not let the actors try singing too?"

    Director Shin shared the hilarious moment when he brought it up: "Shin Si A said, ‘Can I try?’ while Go Youn Jung immediately asked, ‘Can I not?’" making everyone laugh.

    Go Youn Jung honestly shared her fears, saying, "During Hospital Playlist, the cast had to sing and play instruments. I was scared we might have to do the same."

    She added, "I was really hoping nothing would happen, but then during a meal, Shin Si A volunteered to sing. I thought, 'If I do badly, they just won’t use it,' so I tried without much pressure."

    However, the outcome wasn’t what she expected. Go Youn Jung revealed, "They edited it so much that it became a completely different voice." Na Young Seok joked, "Oh, like heavy tuning?" making everyone laugh even harder.

    Go Youn Jung added, "I even played it for my mom, and she couldn’t recognize which part was mine," causing another round of laughter.

    Meanwhile, Resident Playbook is airing every Saturday and Sunday on tvN.

  • Yook Sung Jae and Bona’s new drama ‘The Haunted Palace’ dominates Netflix charts and beats all SBS shows with double-digit ratings from the start

    SBS's new fantasy historical drama The Haunted Palace is already making waves both in South Korea and around the world.

    Starring Yook Sung Jae and Bona, the show exploded in popularity during its very first week — topping Netflix charts in multiple countries and hitting double-digit TV ratings straight out of the gate.

    On Korean television, The Haunted Palace shocked viewers with a strong start. Episode 1 pulled in a peak nationwide rating of 10.7%, instantly breaking the double-digit barrier.

    The Seoul area rating and the national average were both 9.2%, making it the highest-rated premiere of any SBS drama in 2025 so far.

    It also beat out other SBS dramas like Love Scout and Buried Hearts, and even took the #1 spot among all mini-series aired that week, showing that this drama isn’t just trending — it’s leading the pack. (According to Nielsen Korea)

    And the success didn’t stop on TV.

    As soon as The Haunted Palace dropped on Netflix, it jumped straight to #1 on “Today’s Top 10 TV Shows in South Korea”, proving its massive popularity on streaming platforms.

    Globally, it also ranked #1 in the TV series category in Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, showing that international fans are just as hooked.

    The drama is also doing incredibly well on South Korea’s own streaming trend charts. On KinoLights — a platform that tracks trends across all streaming services — The Haunted Palace ranked #1 overall, beating both films and dramas. (As of April 19)

    Fans are loving the unique story, which mixes fantasy, comedy, and creepy mystery. The drama follows Yeori, a shaman who denies her fate, and Kang Cheol I, a mythical Imoogi spirit trapped inside her first love’s body. Together, they face off against a terrifying ghost called Palcheok Gui — who has a dark grudge against the royal family.

    Episode 2 added even more excitement, with Kang Cheol I hilariously struggling to live like a normal human after 1,000 years.

    At the same time, Yeori starts hearing the voice of Yoon Gap’s spirit and tries to save him. By the end of the episode, it’s revealed that Prince Wonja (played by Park Jae Joon) is going mad due to Palcheok Gui — and that the ghost has already consumed Yoon Gap’s soul. The showdown between Kang Cheol I, Yeori, and the evil spirit is just getting started.

    With high ratings and top OTT rankings, The Haunted Palace is quickly becoming one of the biggest drama hits of the year.

    Episode 3 of The Haunted Palace airs on Friday, April 25 at 9:50 PM KST on SBS.
