Shin Ha Kyun, Heo Sung Tae, And More Tie The Final Knot On A Story That Has Spanned 10 Years In “Fifties Professionals”

MBC’s “Fifties Professionals” has shared new stills ahead of its final week!

“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.

Spoilers

In the previous episode, Jung Ho Myung (Shin Ha Kyun) executed a meticulous sting operation, suspecting the true identity of Bulgae (Oh Jung Se), who had been living as Bong Je Soon while pretending to have lost his memory. Although Bulgae later drugged Kang Beom Ryong (Heo Sung Tae) and Ma Gong Bok (Lee Hak Joo) to steal the receiver and flee, it was all part of a plan pre-calculated by Jung Ho Myung. After confirming Bulgae’s identity through the use of a fake receiver, Jung Ho Myung reached out to him, suggesting they uncover Han Kyung Wook’s (Kim Sang Kyung) weaknesses together, marking a turning point where the two former enemies became allies.

The newly released stills capture the four men dressed in all-black suits, embarking on their final mission against a great evil. Now united as a single team, they create a breathtaking sense of tension as they confront enemies closing in from all sides. Jung Ho Myung engages in a head-to-head battle with a formidable opponent, while Bulgae maintains a sharp gaze even in the heart of enemy lines. Kang Beom Ryong and Ma Gong Bok also fight to the end with their backs to each other, foreshadowing the intensity of the final battle.

This operation holds more significance than a simple confrontation. It is their final chance to complete the mission that could not be finished on Yeongseon Island 10 years ago, and it marks the biggest challenge of their lives, where the four men—who have each endured their own hardships—are staking everything they have. Attention is focused on whether they will finally be able to reach the truth they have been chasing for so long.

On the other hand, Han Kyung Wook reveals the reality of his immense power alongside Chairman Do (Kwon Yul) and Hwang Hwa San (Kim Byung Ok). Han Kyung Wook, watching Jung Ho Myung’s group with a relaxed facial expression, and the Hwasan gang members filling the space behind him radiate an overwhelming presence. With Chairman Do and Hwang Hwa San joining them, an inescapable final clash between the two sides is anticipated.

Ha Seok Jin Comes Back Cold When He Reunites With His First Love 8 Years Later In “Love On The Menu”

KBS2’s new weekend drama “Love on the Menu” has unveiled new stills of Ha Seok Jin!

“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.

Ha Seok Jin stars as Kim Moo Jin, the owner-chef of an Italian restaurant. Born into wealth, he is blessed with the perfect background and qualifications. For his first love Han Gyu Rim (EXID’s Hani), he is willing to give up everything. However, after an unexpected breakup leaves him deeply wounded, he leaves for Italy.

Burying his pain, Kim Moo Jin devotes himself entirely to cooking and eventually returns as a talented chef. His life takes an unexpected turn when he reunites with his first love years later.

The newly released stills highlight the stark contrast between Kim Moo Jin’s past and present selves. In the past, he is unable to hide his feelings for Han Gyu Rim, wearing the unmistakable expression of a man deeply in love.

Eight years later, however, he has become noticeably colder. Having returned to Korea, Kim Moo Jin carries a tense gaze marked by the weight of time and emotional scars, revealing a far more guarded and detached side of himself.

The production team commented, “Ha Seok Jin brings to life the full range of Kim Moo Jin’s emotions, from the pure excitement of falling in love for the first time to the coldness that follows heartbreak. Through the character’s transformation over time, he will lead the story with a compelling and multidimensional performance.”

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

Watch: Secret Announces Comeback Date With Teaser For 1st Return In 12 Years

After 12 long years, Secret is finally coming back!

On June 8 at midnight KST, the iconic second-generation girl group officially announced the date and details of their long-awaited return.

In what marks their first comeback in 12 years, Secret will be returning with the special mini album “Secret Flavor” on June 18 at 6 p.m. KST.

Although Secret originally belonged to the now-defunct TS Entertainment, the group’s upcoming comeback will be managed by RBW.

Over the past week, there have been rumors that Secret will be making a comeback as a trio with Jun Hyosung, Jung Hana (Zinger), and a new member who will take the place of Song Ji Eun. However, even though RBW confirmed that the group was reuniting for a comeback, they declined to provide further details, stating, “We will reveal the specifics of the comeback gradually.”

Follow Secret on their new social media accounts here, and check out their newly released teaser video for “Secret Flavor” below!

Although Secret never officially disbanded, the group has not been active in nearly a decade. After debuting together in 2009 under TS Entertainment, Secret promoted as a four-member group up until 2016, when Han Sun Hwa announced her departure from both the group and the agency. Jun Hyosung, Song Ji Eun, and Jung Hana continued to promote as a group until early 2018, when both Song Ji Eun and Jun Hyosung left TS Entertainment and filed lawsuits to confirm the invalidity of their contracts with the agency.

Stay tuned for more details on Secret’s return!
