Seo Kang Jun Talks About “A Love Other Than Yours,” Aspirations For His Acting Career, And More

Seo Kang Jun recently sat down with ELLE Korea to discuss his currently airing drama “A Love Other Than Yours”!

KBS 2TV’s “A Love Other Than Yours” is a realistic romance drama that follows a couple in their 10th year of dating as they experience unexpected emotional changes in a relationship that once felt familiar. Seo Kang Jun stars as Namgoong Ho, a corporate employee who would do anything for his longtime girlfriend Lee Mi Do (Ahn Eun Jin).

When asked how he felt after wrapping up filming, he remarked, “I exhausted myself quite a bit trying to fully understand Namgoong Ho and Mi Do’s hearts and states of mind, in addition to expressing the emotions that stemmed from them.” He continued, “I’m currently experiencing a kind of exhaustion that comes after pouring out all the emotions inside me.”

About his character Namgoong Ho, Seo Kang Jun shared his own interpretation of the character by explaining, “I wanted him to be someone who seems very put-together, respects boundaries, and is diligent, but is also an anxious person living an unstable life.”

When asked about the questions the drama raises about love and relationships, he remarked, “I believe I have to stand firmly on my own feet in order to love someone properly. Sacrificing yourself for someone is one of the many ways of loving, but the prerequisite is fully maintaining your own life. Your partner should not become the reason for your life.”

Seo Kang Jun, who focuses on building his life one step at a time rather than setting clear-cut life goals, was asked about the emptiness that follows small moments of happiness. He replied, “Emptiness is a precious opportunity that allows me to face my true self.” He added, “Among the elements that make a long life meaningful, there are not only positive emotions, but also solitude, emptiness, and loneliness.” Referring to Hermann Hesse’s novel “Siddhartha,” he revealed how delving into his inner self and exploring who he is are also closely connected to his life as an actor.

He also openly shared his aspirations for his acting career. “I want to push beyond my current limits when it comes to expression,” Seo Kang Jun shared, talking about the next stage he hopes to reach as an actor. “At the same time, I want to have the courage to scale back my expressions—to bring my emotions further inward so they can be conveyed without necessarily being shown, and to deliver performances that aren’t superficial.”

Ji Chang Wook Talks About His Recent Drama “The Scandal,” What Acting Means To Him, And More

Actor Ji Chang Wook recently sat down with ELLE Korea to discuss his recent drama “The Scandal”!

Based on the 2003 film “Untold Scandal,” “The Scandal” depicts the daring and dangerous love game between Lady Cho (Son Ye Jin), a woman whose exceptional talents far exceed the confines of the women’s quarters, and Cho Won (Ji Chang Wook), the greatest playboy of Joseon. Their risky wager ensnares another woman, Hui Yeon (Nana), who becomes entangled in their escalating deception. The series tells a story steeped in forbidden love and irresistible seduction in an era when such passions were not permitted.

Discussing the process of developing his character Cho Won, Ji Chang Wook shared, “I tried not to deliberately exaggerate or add to his qualities as a playboy. Instead, I wanted them to be naturally reflected in his attitude and actions. Cho Won is a complex and challenging man. Since he is a character whose true feelings remain a mystery until the very end, it was quite fun to portray him, but there were also quite a few difficult aspects. I had many conversations with director Jung Ji Woo to bring the character of Cho Won to life.”

When asked about the similarities between himself and Cho Won, he shared, “Inevitably, since I am the one portraying the character, a little bit of Ji Chang Wook is bound to be reflected in the character as I portray him.”

He also discussed the scenes in which he faces off with Lady Cho. He remarked, “There isn’t a single scene in which Lady Cho and Cho Won encounter each other that isn’t breathtaking. Every moment is packed. We always put a lot of effort into rehearsals, and I think viewers will be able to fully feel the tension between the two, which has been meticulously portrayed.”

Ji Chang Wook, who has continuously reinvented himself through his performances in a variety of genres, was asked what acting means to him. He remarked, “It’s getting harder and harder. That’s because it’s not easy to define in a single phrase. That’s why I always try to rely heavily on the help of my colleagues, from the director to the cinematography, lighting, costumes, and makeup—even the look of the space I’m standing in. I always strive to act across various genres, but that doesn’t mean I can become a completely different person. In the end, acting is a job where you receive help from people. I’ve often thought that perhaps an actor’s skill lies in how well they make use of that help.”

He continued, “The moments when I feel the greatest thrill while acting are also, without exception, when I communicate well with my colleagues and team members. When we create a great scene that way and I see everyone happy about it, that’s when I enjoy my work the most.”

Talking about his daily life, Ji Chang Wook shared, “Honestly, my daily life these days is quite boring and repetitive. Sometimes it even feels uninteresting. Even so, the fortunate thing is that the career I chose is still incredibly fun for me. I want to continue moving steadily toward the standards I’ve set for myself.”

Suzy Talks About Her Acting Journey, Upcoming Projects, And More

Suzy has joined ELLE Korea for a pictorial!

In the interview that followed the photo shoot, Suzy, who has portrayed a diverse range of women in “Architecture 101,” “Anna,” “Doona!” and “Genie, Make a Wish,” opened up about the potential she discovered in her own face. She said, “I didn’t understand why people used to think of first love when they looked at my face. Then I was told that because my face is ordinary and unassuming, it’s easy to project the emotions from a film onto it, and I thought, ‘I guess I can contain various characters in my face.’”

She added, “As time passes, there are moments when I discover expressions or sides of my face that I didn’t know I had. I’m really happy at those times, and I think there are still sides of myself that I don’t know about.”

Regarding her approach to portraying characters as an actress, she explained, “Rather than looking only at the character itself, I now think more about what kind of relationships the character has with the people around them and what kind of environment they grew up in. Even if it isn’t included in the script, I imagine what kind of time this character has gone through and create my own reasons and backstory for them.”

Suzy also compared the characters she has portrayed to multiple “rooms” in her heart. She explained, “I’ve always thought that there are multiple rooms in my heart. I have both affection and regrets for every character I’ve played, but I’m someone who values the present, so I think I’ve closed all the rooms well. Right now, only the room for ‘The Men of the Harem’ (literal translation), which I’m filming, is wide open.”

She also shared her anticipation for her upcoming projects. Regarding the film “Seven O’Clock Breakfast for the Brokenhearted,” she said, “I was very drawn to the fact that you can actually share things more honestly with strangers who have experienced similar sadness.”

Regarding another upcoming project, “Portraits of Delusion,” she said, “The mysterious atmosphere I felt in director Han Jae Rim’s writing and the woman’s story contained within it deeply resonated with me. While playing Song Jeong Hwa, I feel like many different sides of me were captured on screen. It wasn’t an easy process, but I enjoyed it that much more and learned a lot.”

As for her criteria for choosing future projects, she answered, “Honestly, I still don’t really know what my criteria are. I want to act in projects and play characters that I feel drawn to at the time. In the end, I think I trust that next ‘pull’ a lot.”

Suzy’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the October issue of ELLE Korea. Her upcoming film “Seven O’Clock Breakfast Club for the Brokenhearted” is set to hit theaters in December, and the drama “Portraits of Delusion” is set to premiere in the second half of 2026.

Yoo Ah In Signs With BILLIONS As Agency Addresses His Past And Acting Comeback

On August 21, BILLIONS announced that it had signed an exclusive contract with Yoo Ah In. The agency also shared the following statement:

Entertainment company BILLIONS has signed an exclusive contract with actor Yoo Ah In on August 21, 2026.

BILLIONS is fully aware of the concerns surrounding Yoo Ah In following his past case and recent resumption of activities. Before entering into the contract, the company held multiple in-depth discussions with Yoo Ah In over an extended period, carefully considering the responsibilities and attitude required for him to resume his career as an actor, as well as the direction he should take moving forward.

After this cautious and thorough process, BILLIONS decided to accompany Yoo Ah In on his new beginning.

What Yoo Ah In valued most during the contract process was not better terms or superficial support for simply resuming his activities, but a sincere partner who would carefully navigate each step of the difficult and sensitive process of seeking the public’s forgiveness and understanding and rebuilding their trust. He wanted a partner who could seriously accompany him through the long and challenging journey of standing again as an entirely new actor, rather than simply continuing from his past. BILLIONS shares this sentiment and intends to support him from a long-term perspective, without rushing, so that he can take responsibility for his actions and build an entirely new relationship of trust with the public.

Going forward, BILLIONS will carefully manage all aspects of Yoo Ah In’s activities while providing a stable environment in which he can continue working in a healthy and consistent manner. The company will also provide its full support so that he can focus entirely on his responsibilities as an actor.

We will not take his past lightly or attempt to move past it hastily. We understand that deeply reflecting on the past and having a sincere attitude are essential to regaining trust. BILLIONS will be a responsible partner as Yoo Ah In honestly works to forge his own path once again.

We take the current concerns very seriously and will humbly listen to criticism from the public and media while approaching any necessary communication with sincerity and humility. Alongside reflecting on his past mistakes, we will work carefully and diligently to ensure that his genuine commitment to his craft and acting can be conveyed through his actions and work in the future.

With this, BILLIONS respectfully announces Yoo Ah In’s new beginning. We ask that you continue to watch over his journey.

Thank you.

Yoo Ah In was recently confirmed to make his acting comeback in “Vampir” (literal title), a new film directed by “Exhuma” director Jang Jae Hyun.

The cast of “Agent Kim Reactivated” has joined allure Korea for a pictorial!

Following the photo shoot, the main trio for “Agent Kim Reactivated”—So Ji Sub, Choi Dae Hoon, and Yoon Kyung Ho—joined allure for an interview to discuss the drama.

So Ji Sub shared, “I found action really fun after doing ‘Mercy for None.’ While thinking what it would be like to do another action project next, I came across ‘Agent Kim Reactivated.’ I was first drawn to the action genre, but the more I read the script, the story within and the desperation of a father who has lost his daughter was powerful.”

Watch: Top Star Kang Min Ah Seeks Counseling From Kim Myung Soo To Improve Her Acting In “Love In Sync” Teaser

Upcoming drama “Love in Sync” has unveiled a new teaser!

“Love in Sync” is a romantic comedy that follows a woman who refuses empathy and a man who carries too much of it. When they begin to share one another’s emotions through a surreal phenomenon, the two gradually come to understand one another and grow together.

The teaser opens with top star Yoo Ji An (Kang Min Ah) admiring her striking beauty while wearing a glamorous dress. However, the moment is short-lived as she snaps during a phone call, saying, “Are you crazy? I was always the center, even when I was an idol.” The teaser then shows a reversal as she breaks down in tears after receiving criticism about her acting on set, signaling both the hidden struggles and unexpected sides behind the seemingly glamorous top star.

Moreover, the warm-hearted and calm psychological counselor Cha Eun Hwan (Kim Myung Soo) is surprised to learn that Yoo Ji An will come to him for counseling. When she arrives with the goal of improving her acting skills, the two meet and begin to form a subtle connection.

At the end of the teaser, the two unexpectedly reunite at a police station. Cha Eun Hwan confronts the woman cornering Yoo Ji An, saying, “No. I’m her counselor,” and coolly steps in to rescue her from a difficult situation. Yoo Ji An’s wavering gaze as she looks at Cha Eun Hwan, who protected her, hints at a shift in their relationship.

Zo In Sung Opens Up On His Approach To Acting

Zo In Sung recently sat down with Arena Homme Plus for a pictorial and interview.

In the interview, he opened up about his approach to his recent activities as an actor. He commented, “Creating something new requires courage. Whether physical or mental, if there is no certain level of discomfort, you eventually end up putting on the same clothes you wore before. New clothes feel uncomfortable, but that discomfort also means you are showing a new side of yourself. The longer an actor has been active, the harder it becomes to find something new. That is why I believe such courage is absolutely necessary.” Zo In Sung Opens Up On His Approach To Acting插图

Zo In Sung also spoke about how he still feels nervous every time, despite his long career as an actor. He shared, “Even if yesterday’s shoot went well, today is a new shoot; even if I messed up yesterday, today is a fresh start. So excitement and anxiety always coexist. I think it is the same for both newcomers and veterans. If I were to film 50 episodes of ‘Hope,’ it would feel less new. But every project is both the first and the last. Every time I read a new script, I feel excited and nervous all over again. Ultimately, everything starts from scratch.” Zo In Sung Opens Up On His Approach To Acting插图2
