TWICE’s Sana Reflects On The Group’s 10th Debut Anniversary, Being True To Herself, And More
TWICE’s Sana recently teamed up with Harper’s BAZAAR Korea for a pictorial and interview!
The photo shoot was created in collaboration with the clothing brand Alo. In the interview that followed, Sana shared her thoughts on TWICE’s 10th debut anniversary, being true to herself, and more.
When asked what it means to be “true to herself,” she said, “I try not to think of ‘being myself’ as something fixed. The version of myself that felt authentic a few years ago could be different now.” She continued, “I think being true to myself means accepting who I am at each stage of my life just as I am—even the awkward parts and the flaws.”
Sana also reflected on celebrating TWICE’s 10th debut anniversary through the group’s special album “TEN: The Story Goes On” last year. She shared, “Those were incredibly precious days for us. The members and I were physically exhausted—we barely had any time to rest over the past year—but we were happy.” She added, “The past 10 years with TWICE have gone by almost frighteningly fast. I’m proud, but it’s also a little scary because I feel like the next 10 years will pass just as quickly.”
The idol also spoke about her connection with Alo. “I really care about fit and fabric, and I’ve always liked Alo because the materials feel so soft against the skin,” she said. “Since I dance so much, the clothes are perfect for practice, and they’re also incredibly comfortable to wear while traveling.”
She continued, “During the Los Angeles stop of our “THIS IS FOR” world tour, I also visited the Alo Wellness Center. Trying out the different equipment really helped me feel better. We had three concerts there, and I visited the center before each performance. Having that time to take care of myself made me feel relaxed.”
Sana’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the Summer Edition of Harper’s BAZAAR Korea.

Kang Dong Won Shows Off Powerful Dance Moves As An Idol Group’s Dance Machine In “Wild Sing”
Upcoming film “Wild Sing” has unveiled new stills featuring Kang Dong Won!
On May 12, the production team released stills of Kang Dong Won as Hyun Woo, the leader and dance machine of the co-ed dance group TRIANGLE on stage.
“Wild Sing” is a comedy movie that follows the story of TRIANGLE, a once-popular co-ed trio that fell into obscurity after an unfortunate incident. The film depicts their chaotic journey as they attempt to reunite and make a comeback.
The standout feature in the newly released stills is Kang Dong Won’s bold styling. He effortlessly pulls off oversized wide-leg pants inspired by the street fashion trend of the early 2000s, along with a blunt bob with highlighted streaks.
In addition to Hyun Woo pulling off popular accessories from the era, including goggles on his head and gloves on his hands, his intense gaze and striking physique show why his character is a “fan magnet.”
Kang Dong Won’s transformation goes beyond his appearance. The production team shared that he completed about five months of intensive choreography training to fully portray his character.
In one still, Kang Dong Won shows fluid movements, as well as a high-difficulty “freeze” pose that requires him to support his body with one hand.
Choreographer Yang Wook, who worked on the performance, praised him, saying, “He understands the appeal of dance precisely. Thanks to his commanding physique, he has an outstanding ability to express movement with just subtle touches.”
At a previous production briefing, Kang Dong Won shared a humble reflection, saying, “After preparing for it myself, I realized how amazing idols are, and I came to respect them.”
“Wild Sing” is set to hit theaters on June 3.

Han Ji Eun, Hyun Bong Sik, Kim Sang Ho, And More Get Entangled Within Different Power Groups In “Fifties Professionals”
MBC’s upcoming drama “Fifties Professionals” has unveiled new stills featuring its splendid supporting cast!
“Fifties Professionals” is an action-comedy about three seemingly ordinary but secretly dangerous middle-aged men who are brought back into action by destiny. The three men, who once reigned at the top of their respective fields, find themselves exiled to the remote island of Yeongseon after a mysterious incident. There, they begin a bittersweet and comedic quest to uncover the truth about the fateful day from 10 years ago that changed their lives.
The drama centers on the story of former National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent Jung Ho Myung (Shin Ha Kyun), North Korean operative Bong Jae Soon (Oh Jung Se), who lost his memory after an unexpected accident, and gangster Kang Beom Ryong (Heo Sung Tae), who is pursuing Jung Ho Myung. All three are now on Yeongseon Island following an operation that failed 10 years ago.
The newly released stills feature a strong supporting cast of talented veteran actors including Han Ji Eun, Kim Sang Ho, Hyun Bong Sik, Shin Dong Mi, Lee Soon Won, Lee Han Wi, Kim Byung Ok, and Jung Suk Yong. The relationships between characters intertwined within police, organized crime, family, and power structures are expected to deliver both tension and human warmth.
Han Ji Eun plays Park Mi Kyung, a patrol officer at the Yeongseon Police Substation. She is a character who feels skeptical about corruption within the organization but never lets go of her sense of justice.
Kim Sang Ho takes on the role of Jo Seong Won, a team leader in the NIS’s anti-communist investigation unit. Although he possesses an excellent sense of intuition and a strong sense of justice, he is framed due to internal betrayal and ends up on the run. He later tracks the truth while hiding his identity for a long time and engages in a strong partnership with Jung Ho Myung.
Hyun Bong Sik appears as Yoo In Gu, the head of the Ingu faction. In the past, during his time with the Hwasan faction, he was overshadowed by Kang Beom Ryong and failed to make a name for himself, but he eventually grew into a core figure of the organization by leveraging his social skills. However, he lives in constant anxiety, fearing revenge from the disappeared Kang Beom Ryong and Ma Gong Bok (Lee Hak Joo).
Shin Dong Mi plays Ho Myung’s wife Kwon Oh Ran, portraying a realistic story of a married couple. As the daughter of the long-standing Ohran Restaurant, she is a character who endures the weight of reality amidst childcare, the family business, and her lethargic husband. The indifferent affection and lived-in chemistry typical of a long-married couple are expected to add warmth to the drama.
Lee Soon Won plays Geum Gang Sik, the second-in-command of the Ingu faction. He is a character who has solidified his position in the organization by relying on power rather than ability; while he is Yoo In Gu’s right-hand man, he also harbors ambitions to take that position one day.
Lee Han Wi takes on the role of CEO Kwon, the owner of Ohran Restaurant, showcasing a realistic father character who acts as the anchor for his family.
Kim Byung Ok appears as Hwang Hwa San, the boss of the Hwasan faction. Once called a legend in the organized crime world, he fell from grace after being framed for murder following a failed NIS operation. He places his final hope on Kang Beom Ryong and Ma Gong Bok, adding tension to the story.
Jung Suk Yong plays Ri Cheol Jin, the person in charge of the People’s Armed Forces’ special forces, and will act as a key figure who shakes up the board amidst power and desire.
The production team stated, “The quality of the project has been further elevated by the performances of actors such as Han Ji Eun, Kim Sang Ho, Hyun Bong Sik, and Shin Dong Mi. Please look forward to the synergy they will create with Shin Ha Kyun, Oh Jung Se, and Heo Sung Tae as well as the character-driven performances full of individuality.”
“Fifties Professionals” is set to premiere on May 22 at 9:50 p.m. KST and will be available to watch on Viki.
