Watch: Kim Hyun Joo Reunites With Her Grown-Up Son Bae Hyeon Seong Who Went Missing As A Child In New Film “Paradise Lost” Teaser

Director Yeon Sang Ho’s new film “Paradise Lost” has unveiled its first poster and teaser!

On July 21, film distributor CJ ENM released a poster and teaser video for “Paradise Lost,” a new project from director Yeon Sang Ho, who helmed the films “Colony,” “Train to Busan,” “Peninsula,” and “The Face” as well as the dramas “Revelations,” “Parasyte: The Grey,” and the “Hellbound” series.

“Paradise Lost” is a thriller that follows the story of a son, Sun Woo, who returns home after nine years of being missing. So Young, who had been soothing her pain by interacting with a childhood version of her son through an artificial intelligence (AI) program while he was gone, begins to feel uneasy around the “new” Sun Woo, leading to an uncomfortable cohabitation between mother and son.

Actress Kim Hyun Joo, who previously worked with Director Yeon Sang Ho in the “Hellbound” series, plays the mother, while Bae Hyeon Seong portrays her son, forming the emotional core of the story. The mystery begins when, nine years after the disappearance of a school camping-trip bus, Ryu So Young—a mother who lost her child in the incident—sees her child return, now suddenly all grown up.

Watch the full teaser below!

The film has been officially invited to the Special Presentations section of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival, which will be held in Canada this September. Director Yeon Sang Ho previously visited Toronto last year when he was invited for his film “The Face.”

Bae Jung Nam Is Hani’s Friend And A Filial Son In New Drama “Love On The Menu”

“Love on the Menu” has unveiled the first stills of Bae Jung Nam in character!

“Love on the Menu” is a family romance drama that follows two former lovers who reunite eight years after a painful breakup. As they reconnect, they piece together the fragments of their broken families and create the warmest table of life together.

Bae Jung Nam plays Jo Heung Sik, a character with a twist: despite his neat appearance, he unleashes an unfiltered Busan dialect as soon as he opens his mouth. A friend of Han Gyu Rim (Hani), he lives as his mother’s devoted “full-time child,” diligently helping with housework and assisting at a side-dish shop.

A character with a reliable personality and strong grit who puts those around him at ease, Jo Heung Sik is expected to bring energy to the drama, enhanced by Bae Jung Nam’s natural performance.

In the stills, Jo Heung Sik’s friendly and warm nature comes through clearly. Bae Jung Nam fully embodies the character’s affectionate side.

In particular, as a devoted son who has always stayed close to his mother, his worried gaze toward Park Su Nam (Kang Ae Shim) powerfully conveys Jo Heung Sik’s caring personality.

Even with injuries on his face and both arms in casts, his effort to maintain a smile demonstrates a dependable presence who can be trusted and relied on in any situation.

In another still, Jo Heung Sik reveals a 180-degree transformation from his usual easygoing appearance, instead appearing with a neat and sophisticated style that highlights a contrasting charm. The unexpected presence of a weighty aura teases the untold story the character may hold.

“Love on the Menu” premieres on July 25 at 8 p.m. KST.

So Ji Sub And Son Naeun Take On A Chaotic Shopping Spree In New Drama “Agent Kim Reactivated”

“Agent Kim Reactivated” has teased the dynamic between So Ji Sub and Son Naeun!

Based on a popular webtoon, “Agent Kim Reactivated” is an action revenge drama that tells the story of Manager Kim (So Ji Sub), a seemingly ordinary dad with a secret past who puts everything on the line to save his beloved daughter.

Newly released stills show Manager Kim, who works as an ordinary employee at a small savings bank but is, in fact, a former agent who has been deployed on countless special operations, heading into a department store alongside his co-worker Sang Ah (Son Naeun), a mysterious figure.

Manager Kim, whose fashion choices fully reflect his inflexible personality, and Sang Ah, who showcases her trendsetter side, spark curiosity about the dynamic they will create together.

As Sang Ah sets out to pick up the latest trendy fashion items, Manager Kim appears bewildered by the store opening shopping frenzy rush, an experience he is encountering for the first time.

He is also seen looking thoroughly flustered by the items confidently selected by Sang Ah, who volunteers to serve as his supporter.

It remains to be seen what led Manager Kim, who never lost his composure even on the most brutal battlefields, to show such bewilderment, as well as how Manager Kim and Sang Ah’s immersive shopping spree will unfold.

The production team said, “The department store scene, in which So Ji Sub and Son Naeun delivered strong performances, highlights their lived-in acting. Please look forward to ‘Agent Kim Reactivated,’ which is filled with a wide range of charms beyond its exhilarating action.”

“Agent Kim Reactivated” premieres on June 26 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!

Son Hyun Joo Suddenly Announces Retirement And Sparks A Fierce Succession Battle In “Reborn Rookie”

Get ready for a vicious succession battle in JTBC’s upcoming drama “Reborn Rookie”!

“Reborn Rookie” tells the story of Kang Yong Ho (Son Hyun Joo), the powerful chairman of leading conglomerate Choi Sung Group. After an accident, he unexpectedly finds himself living an unwanted second life when his soul is swapped into the youthful body of soccer player Hwang Jun Hyun (Lee Jun Young), forcing him to start over as a rookie employee at his own company.

In “Reborn Rookie,” Kang Yong Ho is a self-made business magnate who has made Choi Sung Group into a top 10 company through his relentless drive and cool-headed judgment. As someone who values results, his strict standards in evaluating other people keep everyone around him on their toes.

Kang Yong Ho’s eldest daughter Kang Jae Gyeong (Jeon Hye Jin) and eldest son Kang Jae Seong (Jin Goo) have long been locked in a tense rivalry over succession, and because of their father’s focus on merit, they have both tried to prove themselves a worthy successor in their own ways.

Watch: Son Hyun Joo Becomes A Rookie Employee At His Own Company After Soul Swap With Lee Jun Young In “Reborn Rookie” Teaser

JTBC’s upcoming drama “Reborn Rookie” has shared a highlight teaser!

“Reborn Rookie” tells the story of Kang Yong Ho (Son Hyun Joo), the powerful chairman of the leading conglomerate Choi Sung Group. After an accident, he unexpectedly finds himself living an unwanted second life when his soul is swapped into the youthful body of soccer player Hwang Jun Hyun (Lee Jun Young), forcing him to start over as a rookie employee at his own company.

The newly released highlight video teases the unpredictable life story of 72-year-old Choi Sung Group Chairman Kang Yong Ho, who wakes up inside the body of 27-year-old soccer player Hwang Jun Hyun. Hwang Jun Hyun, a soccer player on the verge of joining the first division team Choi Sung FC, is devastated after being hit by Kang Yong Ho’s speeding car and receiving the crushing diagnosis that his soccer career may be over.

Afterward, Hwang Jun Hyun visits Chairman Kang Yong Ho but becomes furious at Kang Yong Ho’s attitude when he casually offers him a blank check as compensation for the accident. Burning with anger, Hwang Jun Hyun vows revenge against Choi Sung Group. On the other hand, Kang Yong Ho coldly responds, “Do you think my Choi Sung would collapse that easily? Because of someone like you?” without even batting an eye.

However, a sudden headbutting accident entangles the two bitter enemies in an unexpected twist of fate. Kang Yong Ho wakes up in Hwang Jun Hyun’s body, embarking on an unexpected second chance at life, while his own body—now presumably housing Kang Yong Ho’s soul—falls into a coma.

Waking up in an unfamiliar body and environment, Kang Yong Ho is immediately met with even greater turmoil. News articles begin identifying Chairman Kang Yong Ho as the hit-and-run culprit responsible for Hwang Jun Hyun’s accident, while his daughter Kang Jae Gyeong (Jeon Hye Jin) and son Kang Jae Seong (Jin Goo)—the true culprits behind the accident—readily acknowledge the accusations as if they had been waiting for the opportunity. Kang Yong Ho, who had treated Hwang Jun Hyun harshly in an attempt to cover up his children’s wrongdoing, cannot hide his rage at this unexpected betrayal.

Chaos soon erupts within the Choi Sung family due to the absence of Chairman Kang Yong Ho. The bold moves of Kang Bang Geul (Lee Ju Myoung), the youngest daughter who joins Choi Sung Group as an intern while hiding the fact that she is Kang Yong Ho’s daughter, and the fierce rivalry between the eldest daughter Kang Jae Gyeong, who openly declares, “Choi Sung belongs to me,” and the eldest son Kang Jae Seong, who insists that as the eldest son he must inherit Choi Sung Group, foreshadow a fierce and heated succession battle.

Adding to the tension, Kang Yong Ho, now living in Hwang Jun Hyun’s body, joins Choi Sung Group as an intern to teach his traitorous children a harsh lesson. His words, “I’ll set everything right,” hint at a satisfying counterattack.

Watch: Lee Jun Young And Son Hyun Joo Swap Souls After A Car Accident In “Reborn Rookie” Preview

JTBC’s “Reborn Rookie” has shared a sneak peek of its upcoming first episode!

The newly released preview of the drama’s premiere begins by introducing Hwang Jun Hyun, a promising soccer player who is about to make it big. With success right around the corner, Hwang Jun Hyun happily tells his grandmother during a video call that all her suffering is over. However, his dreams of a better life for his grandmother are immediately dashed when he unexpectedly gets hit by a car.

Believing Kang Yong Ho to be responsible for the accident that injured him, Hwang Jun Hyun tearfully declares, “Because of you, my soccer career is over.” With the chairman being accused of a hit-and-run, protesters swarm the Choi Sung Group building and label Kang Yong Ho a criminal.

While Kang Yong Ho’s youngest daughter Kang Bang Geul (Lee Ju Myoung) asks disbelievingly whether it’s true that her father is responsible for the hit-and-run, his eldest daughter Kang Jae Gyeong (Jeon Hye Jin) and eldest son Kang Jae Seong (Jin Goo) hold a press conference together with Hwang Jun Hyun. Kang Jae Seong points out that all of the evidence points to their father being the culprit, while the ruthless Kang Jae Gyeong remarks, “This is our only opportunity to get our father to step down through legal means.”

After learning what they’re up to, an infuriated Kang Yong Ho yells at his children, “How dare you try to frame your father as a criminal?” He then tosses Hwang Jun Hyun a blank check and arrogantly offers, “If you want to write 10 billion won [approximately $6.63 million], write 10 billion won. I myself am curious to see how much you want.” Hwang Jun Hyun retorts, “And what if I refuse? What if I insist on fighting until the end and destroying Choi Sung? What will you do then?”

However, just as the conflict between the two men seems to be reaching its climax, things take a supernatural turn when an accidental headbutt leads to them swapping souls. After waking up in the young Hwang Jun Hyun’s body, Kang Yong Ho lets out a scream of horror being before cornered by his own daughter, who restrains him and demands, “Who are you?” Unable to voice his thoughts out loud, he silently thinks to himself, “I’m your father!”

Check out the full preview below!

Lee Jun Young Channels Son Hyun Joo’s Chairman Presence In New Drama “Reborn Rookie” Poster

“Reborn Rookie” has unveiled a new poster!

“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.

After an accident, Kang Yong Ho wakes up in Hwang Jun Hyun’s body and returns to Choi Sung Group as a new employee to reclaim the chairman position. From inside the company, he quietly observes operations and prepares for a power struggle against rivals competing for the chairman’s seat.

The poster shows Kang Yong Ho and Hwang Jun Hyun in a single frame, visually presenting the idea that two identities coexist in one body. The hazy smoke filling the space between them suggests a soul-swapped situation and shows that Kang Yong Ho’s presence still serves as a central focus of the drama.

Hwang Jun Hyun appears relaxed, lying on the chairman’s desk. His carefree attitude reflects confidence that does not match his rank and suggests that a chairman’s temperament remains intact beneath the identity of a “new employee.”

Behind him, Kang Yong Ho stands with a firm and strong charisma. The poster highlights the contrast between the two, showing that although their bodies have been switched, the authority and experience built as chairman remain firmly in place.

The caption reads, “I will take back everything, one by one, so look forward to it,” emphasizing Kang Yong Ho’s determination to reclaim the chairman position.

“Reborn Rookie” will premiere on May 30 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
