Ryu Seung Ryong Is A Far Cry From His Former Baseball Glory In “Portrait of a Family”

Upcoming film “Portrait of a Family” has unveiled a glimpse of Ryu Seung Ryong’s bittersweet life after falling from his former glory.

“Portrait of a Family” is a family chronicle that follows top star couple Jung Gu (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Nam Mi (Ha Ji Won). After their marriage falls apart due to the sudden appearance of Jung Gu’s daughter Dong Ju (Kim Si Ah), the film picks up eight years later, depicting the couple’s desperate pursuit of the truth to save Dong Ju after she becomes embroiled in a shocking incident.

The new stills capture Jung Gu, who once enjoyed a glamorous life as one of Korea’s top baseball hitters before his life came crashing down in an instant.

The first still shows Jung Gu as he wakes up in the living room wearing nothing but his underwear. Rising with a disheveled appearance in the messy room, he cuts a rather pitiful figure. The empty soju bottles on the table hint at how far he has fallen from his glamorous days as one of Korea’s top baseball hitters, now living a humble and difficult life.

Another still shows Jung Gu casually eating pizza with his hands at a family restaurant, offering a glimpse of his much more down-to-earth side. Dressed in a plain gray long-sleeved shirt with an unkempt hairstyle, he looks both familiar and approachable while highlighting the modest circumstances he has been forced to live in.

Finally, a scene of Jung Gu crouching on a playground slide while talking to someone on the phone captures his harsh reality as he wanders around looking for work even as everyone else goes about their busy daily lives.

On August 26, her agency HighZium Studio announced, “Seo Eun Soo will play Yoon Seo Jin, a physical education teacher at Deokcheon High School and the head of its baseball team, in tvN’s upcoming drama ‘Gift.’”

Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Gift” follows Jung Min Yong (Kim Woo Bin), a former professional baseball pitching coach who gains the special ability to instantly see a person’s baseball talent with just one glance after an unexpected accident. The story follows his journey as he becomes the coach of the nation’s worst high school baseball team.

Seo Eun Soo will play Yoon Seo Jin, a PE teacher and the head of the school’s baseball team.

Ryu Seung Ryong Is A Former Baseball Star Who Will Risk Everything For His Daughter In “Portrait Of A Family”

The upcoming film “Portrait of a Family” has unveiled new stills of Ryu Seung Ryong!

Ryu Seung Ryong stars as Jung Gu, a former baseball player who will stop at nothing to protect his daughter. Once a celebrated athlete, Jung Gu’s life falls apart after Dong Ju unexpectedly enters his life. Though rough around the edges, he reveals a much softer side whenever he’s with his daughter.

Through Jung Gu, who struggles to express his love but cares for his daughter more deeply than anyone else, Ryu Seung Ryong is set to portray a new kind of paternal devotion.

To bring the character to life, Ryu Seung Ryong carefully managed his weight and diet to portray Jung Gu from his 20s through his early-to-mid 40s. He also underwent pitching and batting training to convincingly play a former baseball player, while even sporting extensive tattoo makeup to complete the transformation.

The newly released stills highlight Jung Gu’s contrasting past and present. In one, he is in a baseball uniform at the plate, his intense gaze hinting at his days as one of the sport’s top players.

Another still captures Jung Gu frozen in shock after seemingly witnessing a devastating incident. The fear and desperation in his eyes vividly convey the lengths he’ll go to in order to protect his daughter.

Director Lee Ji Won praised the actor, saying, “Ryu Seung Ryong has the fierce eyes and energy of a wild beast, but when he’s with someone he loves, he reveals a surprisingly vulnerable side. He was the actor who could portray Jung Gu most convincingly.”

“Portrait of a Family” is set to hit theaters on September 2. Stay tuned!

AHOF’s Agency Apologizes For Baseball Game Controversy

AHOF’s agency has issued a formal apology regarding the recent controversy over a baseball game attended by the group.

On June 14, AHOF made a special appearance at the game between the Samsung Lions and the SSG Landers at the Daegu Samsung Lions Park. At the invitation of the Samsung Lions, AHOF’s Steven and Chihen opened the game by delivering the ceremonial first pitch and hit.

However, the idols came under fire when, after the ceremonial first pitch and hit, they were seen filming in the stands with their camera flashes on—leading to criticism that they had disrupted the players and obstructed the spectators’ view during the game.

In the early hours of June 15, AHOF’s agency F&F Entertainment released the following statement apologizing for the incident:

Hello.
This is F&F Entertainment.

We would like to sincerely apologize to the players and spectators who were inconvenienced by the filming of our artists that took place at the baseball game on June 14.

We failed to adequately consider the fact that we could disrupt the players’ game and the spectators’ viewing experience.

Our top priority should have been the players and spectators, and we are taking the fact that we fell short in our consideration and preparations very seriously.
In the future, we will fully familiarize ourselves with on-site guidelines and etiquette, and we will take care to prevent any similar incidents from occurring.

Once again, we sincerely apologize to all the players, spectators, and baseball fans who experienced any discomfort.

Kim Rae Won Risks Everything For A Shot At Becoming Baseball Manager In New Sports Drama

The upcoming SBS drama “Full Count” (literal title) has unveiled its first still!

On June 1, SBS held its drama media day event “SBS DRAMA: NEXT EPISODE” in Seoul, where it unveiled its upcoming drama lineup for the second half of 2026 and the first half of 2027.

Among the dramas scheduled to air in 2027 is the upcoming drama “Full Count.”

“Full Count” is a sports drama that depicts the fierce battle for survival among those who risk everything in a cutthroat baseball world filled with schemes and power struggles, all in pursuit of the coveted position of professional baseball manager.

Kim Rae Won—returning to the small screen for the first time in four years—will star as Hwang Jin Ho, the acting manager of the popular baseball team the Stars, which is on the verge of being eliminated from postseason contention. A former catcher turned battery coach, Hwang Jin Ho is an ill-fated baseball figure who spent most of his playing days as a backup. While he is better regarded as a coach, he has lived as an outsider within the exclusionary atmosphere of the Stars, which prioritizes “pure-blooded” insiders. He jumps into a once-in-a-lifetime whirlwind by accepting the position of acting manager, which is akin to a “poisoned chalice.”

Park Hoon will play Jo Dong Hee, a pitching coach widely regarded as the leading candidate for the team’s next manager. The two characters will engage in an intense battle of strategy and wits as they compete for the top job.
