Kim Ji Yeon, Park Seo Ham, And More Dish On Their Close Bond And Perfect Chemistry In “Dive Into You”

The cast of “Dive into You” has talked about their exceptional teamwork ahead of the drama’s premiere!

“Dive into You” is a fantasy romance starring WJSN’s Kim Ji Yeon (Bona) as Yoon Ha Na, an A-list actress who unexpectedly winds up swapping bodies with her twin brother Yoon Ha Ru (Jang Se Hyuk). After learning they can travel back in time using an old camcorder, the twins return to the past and attempt to prevent the death of Yoon Ha Na’s first love Jung Woo Jae (Park Seo Ham).

The synergy between Kim Ji Yeon, Park Seo Ham, Jang Se Hyuk, and Moon Seung You will be one of the drama’s key highlights as they portray young people who risk everything to protect the people they cherish.

Kim Ji Yeon recalled her experience on set, saying, “Every moment was so enjoyable that it felt like we were doing a ‘try not to laugh challenge’ every time we filmed—I had so much fun, it was to the point that the hardest part of filming was actually trying to hold back our laughter.”

She gave their teamwork “9 out of 10,” adding, “Our teamwork is perfect, but I think viewers will fill in that final point. I hope you’ll join us for ‘Dive Into You’ as you watch the friendship and love between the characters, along with their various stories.”

Park Seo Ham described the set as feeling “just like a holiday family gathering,” saying, “We’re having so much fun filming in such a comfortable atmosphere that there’s hardly ever a moment without laughter. I think this atmosphere is possible because we have such great chemistry with one another. I’m always grateful to be filming with everyone because I can really feel how much we care for and support one another in every moment. I think that chemistry is coming through well in the drama, too, so please look forward to it.”

Jang Se Hyuk shared, “They made the effort to come up to me first from the very beginning, so we quickly became close. We also joke around a lot, so I think our chemistry came naturally. As we continued filming, there were moments when we could understand each other through just our eyes or reactions without even having to rehearse together. I think we’re a team that really clicks.”

Finally, Moon Seung You, who plays Yoon Ha Ru’s girlfriend of 10 years Seo Ye Rang, used her character’s name Ye Rang to express her affection for the “Dive into You” team, saying, “Yeverybody, I Sarang [love] you.” She added, “We clicked well from the very first day of filming, and as we continued working together, we naturally came to understand each other’s styles better, which made our chemistry even stronger. If I had to rate our chemistry, I’d give it a 5 out of 5, because there isn’t a single flaw in our teamwork.”

“Dive into You” premieres on September 26 at 10:30 p.m. KST and will be available to watch on Viki.

Lee Dong Wook, Kim Hye Jun, And More Highlight Close Bond Behind The Scenes Of “A Shop For Killers 2”

Disney+ original series “A Shop for Killers 2” has unveiled new behind-the-scenes stills!

Based on a novel by “The Killer’s Shopping List” author Kang Ji Young, “A Shop for Killers” is an action drama that follows Jeong Ji An (Kim Hye Jun), who moves in with her uncle Jeong Jin Man (Lee Dong Wook) after her parents’ passing. Jin Man runs a shopping mall, but when he suddenly dies, Ji An inherits his secret and dangerous legacy and becomes the target of suspicious killers. Season 2 follows Ji An, who becomes the shopping mall’s new CEO. She joins forces with Jin Man, who returns alive, to fight back against the global forces of Babylon.

The newly released stills capture everything from the cast’s immersive performances on set to their warm and playful moments when the cameras stop rolling.

Lee Dong Wook, who plays Jeong Jin Man, a man determined to protect his only niece, is seen carefully monitoring his performance and discussing the scene with the director and staff.

In other photos, Kim Hye Jun’s meticulous efforts to portray both Jeong Ji An’s tough, sharp exterior and her genuine affection for those around her shine through.

Also featured are Geum Hae Na as Min Hye and Kim Min as Pasin, who fight alongside Jin Man and Ji An to protect Murthehelp, as well as Baek Soo Jang as Cheol Seung and Kim Jae Chul as Seong Beom, who also play members of the team.

The stills also offer a behind-the-scenes look at the Babylon faction, Murthehelp’s formidable enemy. Jo Han Sun, who plays Bale, Jin Man’s powerful adversary, commands a strong presence even off camera. A photo of him posing with Lee Dong Wook in his Bale makeup offers a fun contrast to the intense confrontation between their characters.

Jung Yun Ha, who plays Kusanagi, the head of Babylon’s East Asian branch, also fully embodies her character, from her piercing gaze to her posture. Hyunri as Q and Masaki Okada as J likewise took on demanding action sequences with impressive passion, helping bring the stylish action that defines “A Shop for Killers 2” to life.

The newly released stills tease fresh clues surrounding the truth behind the case.

One set of stills shows Kang Tae Joo arriving at We Together Hospital alongside Team Leader Jang Do Sik (Lee Seok) and the police.
