Lovelyz’s Jeong Yein Confirmed To Take Over Ha Young’s Role In “The Trauma Code: Heroes On Call”
Lovelyz’s Jeong Yein has been confirmed to join the cast of “The Trauma Call: Heroes on Call” !
Previously on September 23, it was reported that Jeong Yein would be taking on the role of Cheon Jang Mi for the second and third seasons of the Netflix series “The Trauma Call: Heroes on Call.” However, at the time, both Netflix and Jeong Yein’s agency denied the report.
On September 29, MyDaily reported that later that day, key cast members of “The Trauma Call: Heroes on Call,” including Jeong Yein, will meet for the first time to conduct a brief script reading, followed by a meal together.
Following the reports, a representative from Netflix confirmed, “It is true that Jeong Yein has been selected as the successor to Ha Young for the new seasons of ‘The Trauma Call: Heroes on Call.’”

Nam Ji Hyun Shares Insights Into Her “Make Me Tingle” Character, Her Approach To The Role, And More
Nam Ji Hyun has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “Make Me Tingle”!
“Make Me Tingle” is a chaotic coming-of-age romantic comedy about Gong Yeon Su (Nam Ji Hyun), who believes in love but has never truly figured out what it means for her, and Dokgo Dal (Kim Jae Yeong), a sex toy startup CEO who opens up a whole other world for her.
Nam Ji Hyun plays Gong Yeon Su, the eldest daughter of a head family who grew up in a conservative, traditional environment and works as a marketer, a profession that requires her to be more sensitive to trends than anyone else.
Nam Ji Hyun said, “Gong Yeon Su has many different sides, all rooted in her lovable nature. She can be stubborn, but she also tries to broaden her perspective. While she is wary of unfamiliar things, she also reflects on why she thinks that way. I found these aspects very realistic. I was particularly impressed by how she ultimately grows by confronting things, which is what made me want to take part in the project.”
Nam Ji Hyun also said that she placed the greatest emphasis on “sincerity” when portraying Gong Yeon Su, a character with such complex qualities, explaining, “I thought Gong Yeon Su goes through so many worries and conflicts because she approaches everything sincerely. So I wanted to portray her as someone who sincerely gives her all in every situation. Also, because she meets many different types of people both at home and in society, I wanted to differentiate the way she behaves depending on whom she is dealing with.”
Gong Yeon Su, whose values are quite different from those around her, gradually changes after meeting CEO Dokgo Dal when she takes on the marketing of sex toys. Nam Ji Hyun explained, “Gong Yeon Su chose marketing as a career because she was afraid she might end up living only within her small world. Applying for a marketing position at Dokgo Dal’s company could be considered such a bold challenge that it is almost the first act of rebellion in Gong Yeon Su’s life.”
The actress added, “That is why she makes an unusually large number of mistakes and often loses confidence, but she tries to get through them somehow while absorbing and understanding many new things. I think that because this is an opportunity to change the values that have been most deeply rooted in her, she will become braver than before and gain much more confidence in herself after going through these experiences.”
Finally, Nam Ji Hyun shared an affectionate point for viewers to look forward to: “I would appreciate it if you could tune in to how Gong Yeon Su and Dokgo Dal fight and clash with each other so much, yet eventually come to understand and complement one another and gradually become a part of each other’s lives. I would be really proud if you could enjoy the story while thinking about whether you have ever had a relationship or met someone like that in your own life.”
“Make Me Tingle” will premiere on October 15. Stay tuned!

Yoo Seung Ho Opens Up About His Villain Role In “Flex X Cop 2,” His First Photo Exhibition, And More
Yoo Seung Ho recently joined Cosmopolitan Korea for a pictorial and interview!
In the interview that followed the photo shoot, Yoo Seung Ho remarked, “I really like the vibe captured today. At first glance, it might look dark or profound, but I feel like that comes across in a good way. The bright and energetic sides [of myself] are good, too, but I also have a desire to show a heavier, more reserved side of myself.”
Yoo Seung Ho, who recently pulled off his first villain role in 14 years as Yoo Sung Won in the drama “Flex x Cop 2,” also shared his thoughts on the character. He said, “For this project, I created a lot together with the director starting from my initial approach [to the role]. For example, Yoo Sung Won is a character who has a strange fascination with corpses, so we worked on how to express that, along with how he treats the people around him almost like objects and looks down on them. Actually, I wanted to create recurring habits or behaviors [for the character] that could be seen throughout the drama, but there weren’t many scenes in which viewers got to see Sung Won. I thought it would be difficult to make those traits recognizable, so there were things I boldly left out.”
The actor also spoke about the special meaning the project holds for him, saying, “I definitely think that being able to show various sides of myself as an actor is wonderful and something I’m grateful for. I think there’s a wide variety of reasons behind the good or evil that any character possesses, and the last time I explored that kind of diversity through acting was probably ‘I Miss You.’ That’s why I agreed to do ‘Flex x Cop 2’ before I had even finished reading the entire script. I think this project could give me the opportunity to take on good and evil roles, and even characters with ways of thinking I myself had never considered before.”
Starting on October 3, Yoo Seung Ho will hold his first film photography exhibition, “BLUE HOUR.” While he has so far shown audiences what he looks like in front of the camera as an actor, this exhibition will allow him to share his perspective as a photographer from behind the camera.
Sharing this thoughts on preparing for the exhibition, Yoo Seung Ho said with a laugh, “Even if people don’t praise me by saying I took really great photos, I wouldn’t want to hear them say, ‘These photos are really bad.’ Of course, I should naturally accept criticism about my shortcomings, but even so, I’m doing my best to make sure everyone can enjoy the photo exhibition.”
The upcoming exhibition will feature photos from Yoo Seung Ho’s trips to the United States and Mongolia. When asked what kind of photos he would like to take in the future, he said, “What I realized after visiting Mongolia was that I want to travel much more in the future. I especially enjoyed capturing everyday life and people in other countries. While preparing for this exhibition, there were also ways in which my approach to taking photos and my attitude toward photography changed. If I apply those things when taking photos, I expect that I’ll be able to create more interesting photographs in the future.”
Regarding how he has changed as a photographer, he said, “The CEO who is organizing this exhibition told me to photograph the same subject multiple times. I remembered what he said and tried it, and I realized that every photo had a completely different feel. Another change I noticed this time was that I started varying the eye level from which I photograph my subjects. Before, I mostly photographed from above looking down, but I learned that sitting down and making eye contact with the subject can create an interestingly different feeling.”
Finally, when asked about a side of himself he has yet to encounter and is therefore curious about, he replied, “If I get the opportunity, I’d like to once again immerse myself completely in a project and meet the version of myself who acts with fierce intensity as that character.”
Yoo Seung Ho’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the October issue of Cosmopolitan Korea.

Roh Jae Won has shared his thoughts on taking on his first leading role in a film through “Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub”!
Returning with a new chapter after six years, “Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub” follows Jang Tae Young (Byun Yo Han), who thought he had everything after building a thriving online casino empire, until his best friend Park Tae Young (Roh Jae Won) takes it all away. When fate reunites them in the world of global gambling, the former friends face off in a high-stakes game of revenge.
Roh Jae Won takes on the role of Park Tae Young, a meticulous strategist driven by deep-seated feelings of inferiority and jealousy.
The newly released character stills offer a glimpse into Park Tae Young’s complex personality and emotions. Unlike Jang Tae Young, who relies on his natural talent and instincts to win, Park Tae Young has proven himself through his sharp intellect and relentless hard work.

Eventually, those emotions lead to a betrayal that shakes their friendship to its core. In the newly released stills, Roh Jae Won captures Park Tae Young’s jealousy toward his friend, complicated emotions, and increasingly cold demeanor through his nuanced expressions.
Reflecting on landing his first leading role, he shared, “It felt like a dream when I received the script for my first leading role.” He added that he was excited to take on the project after becoming convinced that it would offer a story and world distinct from the previous installments.
“Tazza 4: The Song of Beelzebub” will premiere during the Chuseok holiday this September.

Song Kang has shared his thoughts on his upcoming drama “Four Hands, Two Sonatas”!
“Four Hands” is a piano term that refers to a technique where two people play a single piano together.

At the same time, I think it is everything that drives Kang Bi Oh and causes the greatest upheaval in his life.”
Taking on the role of a pianist in the drama, he said, “I’ve always liked the piano as an instrument, to the point that I listen to piano pieces and jazz piano in my everyday life. So I think I was even more drawn to this project because it centers on music.”

Ong Seong Wu Talks About Taking On His First-Ever Villain Role In “Spooky In Love”
Ong Seong Wu has shared his thoughts on his upcoming drama “Spooky in Love”!
A remake of the 2011 film “Spellbound,” “Spooky in Love” is an occult romance drama about the chaotic partnership between Cheon Yeo Ri (Park Eun Bin), a hotel heiress who can see ghosts, and Ma Gang Wook (Yang Se Jong), a passionate prosecutor who is terrified of them.
Returning to the small screen, Ong Seong Wu signals a 180-degree shift from the youthful, fresh-faced image he showed in his previous roles as he takes on the villain Kang Min Hwan.
Ong Seong Wu explained his reason for choosing the project, saying, “Since the original film was widely loved, I was excited about its remake. I thought I could bring new tension to the story through an original character named Kang Min Hwan, who did not appear in the original.”
Kang Min Hwan is a character who hides endless ambition behind a gentle smile. He has a dangerous side driven by a desire for recognition and a sense of lack, and he manipulates other people’s emotions to get what he wants. Taking on his first villain role since his debut, Ong Seong Wu said, “Min Hwan is a character with clear goals. I focused on the reasons behind the character’s actions and their justification in my acting.”
He added, “I’m usually told I have a clean-cut image, but this time I want to show a colder atmosphere. I want viewers to react by saying, ‘So he has this kind of side as well.’”
Finally, he said, “The key point to watch is how Cheon Yeo Ri and Ma Gang Wook work together to solve spooky cases.”
“Spooky in Love” will premiere on July 18 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

Park Yoon Ho In Talks For Boxer Role Previously Offered To Park Ji Hoon
Rising actor Park Yoon Ho may take on a drama role previously offered to Park Ji Hoon!
On June 10, MyDaily reported that Park Yoon Ho has been selected as the lead of tvN’s upcoming drama “Promoter.”
In response, a representative from his agency INNIT ENTERTAINMENT stated, “Park Yoon Ho is positively reviewing the offer to appear in ‘Promoter.’”
“Promoter” is a human sports drama that tells the story of Shim Young Ja, the world’s first female boxing promoter, and hardworking, self-made genius boxer Jang Jung Goo as they laugh, cry, resent, and support one another on the road to becoming a world champion.
Actress Lee Ha Nee was reported in January to be considering the role of Shim Young Ja, a promoter inspired by a real-life figure, though her casting has yet to be officially confirmed. Park Ji Hoon and Jang Dong Yoon were previously in talks to play boxer Jang Jung Goo, but both actors ultimately declined.
Park Yoon Ho has been offered the role of Jang Jung Goo, a WBC light flyweight boxer. Due to a difficult family background, Jang Jung Goo began wearing boxing gloves at the age of 12. Though he dominates the amateur boxing scene with his natural talent, he repeatedly falls short of victory because of his lack of formal education. After turning professional and catching the attention of Shim Young Ja, he becomes widely known by the nickname “Jjang Goo,” with few people calling him by his real name.
Park Yoon Ho made his acting debut in 2023 with the drama “Night Has Come.” He later appeared in supporting roles in “Study Group,” “Our Unwritten Seoul,” and “Trigger.”
Stay tuned for more updates on the drama!

Watch: Lee Jun Young Brings Chairman Energy To His Intern Role In “Reborn Rookie” Teaser
JTBC’s upcoming drama “Reborn Rookie” has shared a new teaser!
“Reborn Rookie” follows Kang Yong Ho (Son Hyun Joo), the powerful chairman of the leading conglomerate Choi Sung Group, who is revered as a business genius. After an accident, however, he unexpectedly finds himself living a second life when his soul swaps into the youthful body of a soccer player named Hwang Jun Hyun (Lee Jun Young), forcing him to start over as a rookie employee at his own company.
The newly released teaser captures the chaos that ensues from the moment Hwang Jun Hyun first steps into Procurement Team 2. In one scene, his exclamation, “Is this—is this really a company?” hints at the unfamiliar workplace environment and the incidents he will soon face.
From the moment he arrives, the atmosphere Hwang Jun Hyun encounters in Procurement Team 2 is anything but smooth. He is greeted by Park Bong Gi (Lee Sung Wook), a longtime department head with almost no presence, and Kang Bang Geul (Lee Ju Myoung), the chairman’s youngest daughter, who secretly joined Choi Sung Group while hiding her identity. Standing before them, he gives the impression that he has grasped the situation in a short amount of time, quickly reading the department’s internal relationships and the company’s power structure.
However, he is unable to hide the instincts and attitudes he developed while living as a chairman. Forgetting his position as an intern, Hwang Jun Hyun speaks informally to Park Bong Gi, and he also displays a fearless attitude in front of Kang Jae Kyung (Jeon Hye Jin), the president of Choi Sung Chemical, and Kang Jae Sung (Jin Goo), the president of Choi Sung Trading. His reactions, which make it seem as though he is standing on equal footing with the core executives of Choi Sung Group, create unexpected tension within Procurement Team 2 and leave those around him completely speechless.

Park Ji Hoon Talks About Why He Chose To Star In “The Legend Of Kitchen Soldier,” Role Preparation, And More
Park Ji Hoon has shared his thoughts on the upcoming drama “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier”!
Based on a popular web novel and webtoon, “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier” is a military fantasy-comedy drama that tells the story of army cook Kang Sung Jae (Park Ji Hoon). When a mysterious quest window pops up in front of him one day, Private Kang Sung Jae begins an unexpected journey that will lead him down the path toward becoming a legendary cook.

Park Ji Hoon said, “I had always wanted to try wearing a military uniform in a project, and I also wanted to take on a new challenge. I found it particularly interesting that the character Kang Sung Jae is someone who builds his own standing while adapting to an unfamiliar environment. Furthermore, the process of him earning trust within the unit and making friends through his amazing skills was very appealing to me.”
He added, “I even took cooking lessons before filming to convincingly portray the unique profession of a kitchen soldier. As I learned to cook one dish after another, my knife skills gradually improved,” further raising expectations for his performance.
As the character Kang Sung Jae is set to level up his cooking skills by completing quests, the role required a unique approach to acting. Regarding this, Park Ji Hoon explained, “I wanted to express a character who gradually grows by utilizing the ‘Guardian,’ a virtual quest-giver that appears in the drama. I paid extra attention to my facial expressions, such as shifting my gaze as if the character were actually standing right in front of me.”
As for the key points to watch, Park Ji Hoon shared his hopes, saying, “I hope you will watch how Kang Sung Jae builds relationships with various characters and grows throughout the story as well as the chemistry he creates along the way. I also hope you take an interest in the character’s transformation as he gradually grows by utilizing the intriguing concept of the ‘Guardian.’”
