Watch: Yoo Yeon Seok And Seo Hyun Jin’s Upcoming Drama “The Perfect Lie” Confirms Premiere Date With Glimpse Of Script Reading
MBC’s upcoming drama “The Perfect Lie” is gearing up for its premiere!
On September 22, MBC announced that the drama will premiere on October 30 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
Helmed by “You and Everything Else” director Jo Young Min, “The Perfect Lie” is a psychological thriller in which a man and a woman offer completely opposite accounts of the same memory, clashing fiercely in their search for the truth.
Adding to the anticipation, the script reading brought together director Jo Young Min, writer Baek Jae Young, and the main cast, including Yoo Yeon Seok, Seo Hyun Jin, Ok Ja Yeon, Im Seong Jae, Kim Ji Hyun, and Lee Chun Hee. The whirlwind story delivered an intense level of immersion while the actors’ wholehearted performances heated up the session.
Leading the cast, Yoo Yeon Seok heightened the tension with a performance that shifted between warmth and coldness. Yoo Yeon Seok plays Min Joon Ho, a cardiac surgeon and single father who is trusted by everyone. He portrayed Min Joon Ho as more level-headed than anyone else when holding a scalpel yet warmer than anyone else toward his only son. This contrast made the shock and impact of the fierce conflict between Min Joon Ho and Kang Ji Sun (Seo Hyun Jin) that unfolds later even more powerful.
Seo Hyun Jin showed breathtaking concentration as Kang Ji Sun, an elementary school librarian who becomes entangled with Min Joon Ho, one of the parents at the school. Kang Ji Sun is a character whose emotions swing between extremes following her perfect date with Min Joon Ho. Seo Hyun Jin captured Kang Ji Sun’s ever-changing state of mind depending on the circumstances through an emotionally charged performance with a wide range.
Above all, the fierce acting performances between Yoo Yeon Seok and Seo Hyun Jin, who reunited after 10 years since “Dr. Romantic,” were remarkable. Throughout the reading, the two actors poured out so much energy that it could have been mistaken for an actual shoot. On top of that, their ultimate chemistry, built on mutual trust, kept everyone at the scene holding their breath.
The supporting cast further added to the tension with their distinct characters and solid acting skills. Ok Ja Yeon plays juvenile crimes unit detective Lee Hwa Young, Im Seong Jae plays Park Seok Gu, Lee Hwa Young’s husband and a UDT officer, Kim Ji Hyun plays Kang Ji Eun, Kang Ji Sun’s older sister and an anesthesiologist, and Lee Chun Hee plays Kim Hyung Soo, Kang Ji Eun’s husband and Kang Ji Sun’s brother-in-law.

Ryu Hye Young And Nam Yoon Su’s Upcoming Thriller Film “Killing Time” Confirms October Premiere
Ryu Hye Young and Nam Yoon Su’s upcoming film “Killing Time” has confirmed its October release and unveiled a new poster!
“Killing Time” is a thriller about an internet broadcasting crew called “Killing Time” that gains popularity with sensational content, only to face a tragic incident when one of its members dies during a live stream. Determined to make a successful comeback, the crew heads to an abandoned hospital, where they are attacked by a mysterious entity and forced into a desperate fight for survival against its merciless assault.
Ryu Hye Young stars as Yeon Woo, a streamer for “Killing Time” who loses everything in an instant following the death of a team member. After encountering the mysterious entity, Yeon Woo finds herself thrust into a life-or-death struggle.
Nam Yoon Su plays Joo Won, the leader of “Killing Time” who pushes the boundaries even when things go too far. Determined to make a comeback, Joo Won remains fixated on creating sensational content even inside the blood-soaked abandoned hospital, showcasing his relentless drive to turn the terrifying situation into a hit.
The newly released poster shows a shattered play button drenched in blood. Positioned at the center of a black screen, the broken play button hints at the shocking concept of “Killing Live,” where a real-life fight for survival unfolds through a live broadcast.
Adding to the intrigue, the playback bar at the bottom resembles that of an actual video player, creating the feeling of having tuned into someone’s live broadcast. The tagline, “It ends only when you die,” further heightens the tension of the survival game.
“Killing Time” will hit theaters in October.

Han Hyo Joo And Gong Myoung’s New Drama Confirms Cast Lineup And Broadcast Plans
MBC’s upcoming drama “Your Ground” (literal title) has unveiled its cast lineup!
“Your Ground” is a youth romance about a baseball player (Gong Myoung) whose career comes to a halt after a single setback. After meeting a former lawyer–turned agent (Han Hyo Joo), he begins his journey to return to the field. The drama will be directed by Lee Sang Yeob of “Yumi’s Cells.”
With Kim Shin Rok and Sung Joon joining the main cast alongside Han Hyo Joo and Gong Myoung, the series is expected to showcase chemistry encompassing baseball and romance as well as friendship and competition.
Han Hyo Joo will play Seo Hee Seung, a former lawyer who becomes a sports agent. Seo Hee Seung is a skilled lawyer who has never lost a trial. However, when she is dispatched to the sports agency Donghaeng at the direction of her law firm’s CEO, she enters the world of professional baseball, something she never expected. She knows little about baseball, but she is second to none when it comes to her competitive spirit. After starting a new life as an agent, she reunites with her first love, Kang Hae Hwan, after 11 years. She then faces events that shake up her life like a breaking ball whose trajectory is impossible to predict.
Gong Myoung will play Kang Hae Hwan, a right-handed pitcher for the Miracles. He was once a player who received widespread praise as a next-generation ace. Praised as a “genius pitcher” since his high school days and regarded as the future of baseball, he falls into a long slump after experiencing a shocking incident that completely changes the course of his career. Seo Hee Seung, who presents herself as his agent, then reappears before Kang Hae Hwan. After reuniting with his first love for the first time in 11 years, Kang Hae Hwan begins a new journey to return to the mound.
Kim Shin Rok will play Dong Chi Young, the CEO of Donghaeng, the country’s top sports agency. A veteran known in the industry as a tough negotiator, she handles everything from player contracts and free agency to salary negotiations and career planning.
Sung Joon will play Yoon Yi Seok, who finds himself in competition with Kang Hae Hwan. Yoon Yi Seok, a sidearm pitcher for the Miracles, took over as the team’s ace after Kang Hae Hwan left the mound. More than anyone, he wants Kang Hae Hwan to return, but once they are on the field, he is an unavoidable rival who must compete with him for the ace position. Meanwhile, as he watches Seo Hee Seung from close by, an unexpected change begins to take place in his own heart.
The relationships among characters connected in various ways, including players and agents, friends and rivals, and mentors and juniors, as they navigate competition, love, and their individual dreams, are expected to become another key point of interest in the series.
“Your Ground” is scheduled to premiere at the end of 2026.

TWICE’s Jeongyeon will be parting ways with her longtime agency JYP Entertainment.
On August 10, Jeongyeon personally took to Instagram to share a handwritten letter and announce her departure from JYP Entertainment.
Following her announcement, VARO Entertainment announced the same day that they signed an exclusive contract with the artist. The agency shared, “We are sincerely happy to create a special connection with Yu Jeongyeon, who has diverse charms and limitless potential.

Read Jeongyeon’s letter below:
Hello, this is Jeongyeon.
After giving a lot of thought to how to express my feelings, I am sharing this letter with you all. JYP has been my second home since my teenage years; a place where I’ve spent so much time and created so many cherished memories. I am now preparing to start a new chapter in a new place.
Leaving a place that feels so familiar to me was daunting at first, but I was able to find the courage thanks to my members and our ONCE who have always believed in me. I am deeply grateful to my members and ONCE; words cannot fully express my gratitude. I am also very grateful to the JYP family who helped me grow into the person I am today.
The one thing I truly want to tell ONCE is that even though I am moving on to a new chapter to take on new challenges, TWICE, the center of my life, will remain unchanged, just as it is now. Standing before ONCE as a member of TWICE will always be my very first priority.
I will prepare step by step with all my heart—both for my journey as TWICE’s Jeongyeon, whom you have loved so much, and for the new challenges ahead as Yu Jeongyeon.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and always staying by my side. Since we still have so much time ahead of us to create new memories, I will work hard to fill those moments even more beautifully with ONCE.
Thank you always.
Jeongyeon debuted as a member of TWICE in 2015. VARO Entertainment is home to actors including Jeongyeon’s sister and actress Gong Seung Yeon as well as Byeon Woo Seok, Jin Goo, Lee Chae Min, and more.
Wishing Jeongyeon all the best in her next chapter!
