• Seventeen, Earthshaking Speech at UNESCO Headquarters "Too Young to Give Up... Will Keep Moving Forward"

  The group Seventeen made history as the first K-pop artists to take the stage at the UNESCO headquarters. On the 14th in Paris, France, at the main hall of the UNESCO headquarters, Seventeen delivered a speech and performance at the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum. Seventeen became the first K-pop artist to be allocated an entire session during the UNESCO General Assembly, conducting a session for approximately one hour. On this day, Seventeen spoke on the theme of "Youth Solidarity and Education Changing the Future of Youth and the Earth." The member who began the speech first, Seungkwan, mentioned his hometown, Jeju Island, stating, "I grew up with my own dreams on this beautiful island, although it's a faraway island from the capital, Seoul. Dreaming of a bigger world and the dream of becoming a K-pop star, performing in front of countless fans someday." He expressed his overwhelming emotions by saying, "The little boy who dreamed of the future on the island designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site is now standing at the UNESCO headquarters today." Continuing, member Jun delivered his speech in Chinese, mentioning the other members, "We are each other's teachers. We practice together, create together, and have become better individuals gradually. Today, Seventeen is standing here because we faced difficult situations and didn't give up. The 13 of us have helped each other, step by step, to come this far, and we will continue to move forward," expressing their determination. Woozi reflected on the journey to this day, saying, "There were people who thought Seventeen would fail in the early days, but today, I think we are here because we didn't give up. We were too young to be discouraged. Success didn't come quickly, but the time spent burning with passion with the members was always enjoyable. The members were always cheerful, never losing their laughter in any situation. Our practice room was always filled with positive words like 'fighting' and 'a little more.' Believing that focusing on the cheerful voices of the members rather than the negative external words, I became more convinced that things would go well with these friends," mentioning each member's name with confidence. In the fall of 2016, Mingyu revealed an episode where, after receiving his first settlement, he donated 13 goats to children in Tanzania, Africa. Mingyu received a letter from the children, and he shared, "The message said, 'I will raise the goats well for my dreams.' This message stayed with us for a long time. It reminded us of the journey we've been on for our dreams. Sharing dreams is, in essence, sharing positivity and hope." Joshua promised to actively participate as a UNESCO ambassador to raise awareness about the importance of education in the current era. Vernon continued by reading the lyrics of Seventeen's songs. In the subsequent performance, Seventeen selected a total of five songs, including "World," "Darling," "Headliner," "Music's God," and "Let's Go Together," eliciting a passionate response from the audience.

• Kim Bum from "Gumiho: The Mythical Nine-Tailed Fox 1938" says, "I loved the 'Gumiho' series more than anyone else. I can't wait for the broadcast and feel excited." The first still of Kim Bum has been released!

  tvN's new weekend drama "Gumiho: 1938" (directed by Kang Shin-hyo, written by Han Woo-ri, produced by Studio Dragon and How Pictures) revealed the first still of the captivating and extreme character I-rang (played by Kim Bum) on the 25th. His intense comeback will showcase both rough wildness and sophisticated modernity. "Gumiho: 1938" is a K-fantasy action historical drama about Gumiho Lee Yeon (played by Lee Dong-wook), who landed in the chaotic era of 1938 and struggles to return to modern times. Combining local deities, native monsters, and an original world view, the drama is equipped with dynamic action, expanded scale, and diverse characters from Korean mythology, making its return after three years. The reunion of director Kang Shin-hyo and writer Han Woo-ri, who showed the essence of "K-fantasy" and won great love from viewers, as well as the meeting of beloved actors such as Lee Dong-wook, Kim So-yeon, Kim Bum, and Ryu Kyung-soo, are raising expectations. The drama's first episode will air on May 6th. Kim Bum will also be active in season 2 as Lee Rang, the half-human, half-fox born between humans and gumiho and the younger brother of Yi Yeon. In the previous season, he hated Yi Yeon to the point of wanting to kill him due to a long-standing misunderstanding, but ultimately sacrificed his life for his brother, evoking sympathy from viewers. However, when Yi Yeon is stranded in 1938, the two brothers reunite in the past. This sets the stage for an upgraded chemistry between Lee Dong-wook and Kim Bum, hinting at another round of bromance for viewers to enjoy. In the meantime, the Lee Rang captured in 1938 only intensifies viewers' curiosity. The first thing that catches the eye is his appearance as the "leader of the evil spirits." With his long, tied-up hair and fierce, piercing eyes, he exudes a wild and untamed nature. Despite his rebellious nature, he also has a soft spot for protecting his beloved puppy, even with his tough exterior. On the other hand, the modern boy image of Lee Rang, with his clean shirt and stylish hairdo, is also intriguing. His visual is that of a handsome man of the time, completely opposite to his other persona. Regarding the unique selling points of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed: 1938," it is said that "In that era, Iryang shows a side of himself that cannot be seen in modern times," and that "In the previous season set in modern times, Iryang tried not to show affection to others, but he was actually a person with a more affectionate nature than anyone else. In "Tale of the Nine-Tailed: 1938," the relationships of the characters in the era where Iryang showed affection will be shown, which will be a new aspect." The tvN drama "Tale of the Nine-Tailed: 1938" is set to air on May 6th at 9:20 PM KST as the successor to "Pandora: The Devil's Secret."

• 'Viva! Debra' Unreleased Cuts Released, Showcasing the Romantic Comedy Experts' Performance featuring Yoo In-na, Yoon Hyun-min, Ju Sang-wook, Hwang Chan-sung, and Park So-jin.

  The ENA drama "Viva! Deborah" (directed by Lee Tae-gon and Seo Min-jeong, written by Ah Kyung, produced by KT Studio Genie, and produced by Pungnyeon Jeonpa Sang and Oz Arena) premiered on the 12th to rave reviews. The unique dating coaching of the top dating coach Deborah (played by Yoo In-na), who sees, hears, speaks, and experiences it all, elicited cheerful empathy and finely detailed emotions and complexities about "love" that cannot be expressed in a single word, garnering a positive response. Above all, the masterful performances of the "romance comedy (roco) artisans" who heightened empathy for the overly immersive romance shone. Yoo In-na's unique charm and comedic acting skills made Deborah's dating coach character all the more appealing, and Yoon Hyun-min transformed into the textbook example of an unintentionally bad boy as Lee Soo-hyuk, arousing excitement. Along with that, Ju Sang-wook, who played the charming and elegant Han Sang-jin, and Hwang Chan-sung, who added delightful humor as Deborah's lover No Joo-wan holding a "chicken fork," and Park So-jin, who played the role of Lee Yoo-jung with perfectly timed "bff" energy, all showcased their unique characters with wit and skill, earning high praise. In the midst of all this, the release of the first and second episodes' unreleased footage further stimulates expectations for the explosive romance that is about to unfold. Yu In-na, who returns as a "sticky" character, delivers a performance that raises expectations for another memorable character in her career. While she coaches the world on the "cool" and bone-chilling strategies of love, her own love life takes an unexpected turn, and Debra's reversal is depicted with wit and humor. Attention is focused on Debra's transformation, who finds herself in crisis as a "loser in love," something she has never even considered before, due to her lover No Joo-wan's (played by Hwang Chan-sung) betrayal. Yoon Hyun-min's true worth also shines through. He perfectly expresses the charm of Lee Soo-hyuk, who is an indifferent man but believes that love is all about sincerity, adding more excitement to the drama. The sweet and ruthless chemistry between Yu In-na and Yoon Hyun-min also garnered a hot response. The sight of Lee Soo-hyuk sadly turning away after breaking up with his lover without being able to give her the ring he had prepared, evokes a sense of pity. From starting as "enemies" to unintentionally discovering each other's comical love stories, the two's future developments are eagerly anticipated. The performances of Joo Sang-wook, Hwang Chan-sung, and Park So-jin, who unleash their "real friends" tension and comic potential at the right time and place, also stood out. Joo Sang-wook's acting meets the character of Han Sang-jin, a publishing company representative full of enthusiasm and "spicy" love advice, creating a distinctive flavor.

• '구미호뎐1938' 이동욱X김소연X김범X류경수X황희X김용지, 1938년 발칵 뒤집을 6인의 ‘숨멎’ 메인 포스터 공개!

  [KIKAnews] 구미호뎐1938’ 이동욱, 김소연, 김범, 류경수, 황희, 김용지가 상상을 초월한 사냥에 나선다. 오는 5월 6일 첫 방송되는 tvN 새 토일드라마 ‘구미호뎐1938’(연출 강신효, 극본 한우리, 제작 스튜디오드래곤·하우픽쳐스)이 3일, 1938년을 발칵 뒤집어 놓을 6인의 ‘숨멎’ 카리스마가 담긴 메인 포스터를 공개한다. 혼란의 시대에 소환된 구미호 이연(구미호 분), 그리고 금기가 사라진 곳에서 재회한 이들이 쫓는 사냥감은 무엇일지 베일을 벗을수록 뜨거운 기대가 쏟아지고 있다. ‘구미호뎐1938’은 1938년 혼돈의 시대에 불시착한 ‘구미호’ 이연이 현대로 돌아가기 위해 펼치는 K-판타지 액션 활극이다. 토착신, 토종 요괴 등을 절묘하게 엮어낸 독창적 세계관 위에 한층 다이내믹해진 액션과 스케일, 다채롭게 업그레이드된 설화 속 캐릭터들을 장착하고 3년 만에 귀환한다. ‘K-판타지’의 신세계를 연 강신효 감독과 한우리 작가의 재회는 물론 이동욱, 김소연, 김범, 류경수, 황희, 김용지 등 믿고 보는 배우들의 만남은 두 번째 시즌을 손꼽아 기다려온 팬들의 기대 심리를 더욱 자극한다. 앞서 베일을 벗은 티저 포스터가 구미호 이연의 의미심장한 컴백을 알리며 설렘을 자아냈다면, 이날 공개된 메인 포스터는 이연, 류홍주(김소연 분), 이랑(김범 분), 천무영(류경수 분), 구신주(황희 분), 선우은호(김용지 분) 6인의 범상치 않은 아우라로 기대를 뜨겁게 달군다. 막 사냥이 끝난 듯 아수라장이 된 연회장을 나오는 이들의 카리스마가 소름을 유발한다. 여기에 ‘지켜야 할 것이 사라진 시대! 바야흐로 사냥의 시간이다’라는 문구는 금기가 사라진 시대로 한층 살벌하게 돌아온 이들의 미션에 궁금증을 더한다. 역사의 격랑에 휩쓸려 토종신들도 독하게 앓았던 시대, 과연 6인이 어떤 활약으로 혼란의 1938년을 발칵 뒤집어 놓을지 기다려진다. 또 이들이 쫓는 사냥감은 과연 무엇인지에도 이목이 집중된다. 무엇보다 상상을 초월한 독보적 캐릭터들의 하드캐리는 최고의 관전 포인트. 캐릭터의 매력을 극대화해 ‘K-판타지 액션 활극’의 진수를 선보일 배우들의 시너지에도 기대가 쏠린다. 이동욱은 구미호 ‘이연’을 통해 또 한 번 시청자들을 매혹한다. ‘영원한 첫사랑’ 남지아(조보아 분)와 행복한 엔딩을 맞았던 이연이 1938년으로 소환된 이유는 무엇일지, 소중한 사람이 기다리는 현재로 돌아가기 위한 사투가 다이내믹하게 펼쳐질 것으로 기대된다. 김소연은 경성 최고급 요릿집 묘연각의 주인이자, 어마어마한 괴력을 가진 전직 서쪽 산신 ‘류홍주’로 분한다. 처음 만난 순간부터 탐했지만, 가질 수 없었던 이연이 눈앞에 다시 나타나 무료했던 일상이 즐거워진다고. 왠지 모르게 위험하고 아찔한 ‘류홍주’의 존재가 이연에게 어떤 변수가 될지 호기심을 자극한다. 이연과 이랑(김범 분)의 이야기는 이번에도 극의 한 축을 이루는 중요한 포인트다. 김범의 컴백이 기다려지는 이유이기도. 지난 시즌에서 형 이연과 오해를 풀고 희생까지 감행했던 이랑이지만, 1938년의 그는 여전한 반항기로 불시착한 이연을 맞이한다. 달라진 ‘연랑’ 형제의 기묘한 콤비 플레이가 다시 화끈하게 불붙는다. 류경수는 죽은 자도 살리는 명의 ‘천무영’을 연기한다. 전직 북쪽 산신이었던 그는 한때 이연과 홍주의 ‘유일한 벗’이었던 인물. 그러나 모종의 사건으로 이연에게 적대감을 품게 된 그는 오랜 벗과의 피할 수 없는 승부에 들어선다. 황희, 김용지의 변화무쌍한 활약도 기대된다. 황희는 1938년에 불시착한 이연과 함께 다시 험난한 요괴 사냥에 나서는 토종여우 ‘구신주’로, 김용지는 선우일보 기자 ‘선우은호’로 변신해 활력을 더한다. ‘구미호뎐1938’ 제작진은 “무대가 달라진 만큼 구미호 이연의 사냥법도 달라진다. 확장된 세계관 위에 펼쳐지는 구미호 이연의 색다른 스타일과 통쾌한 액션, 한층 스펙터클해진 전개가 K-판타지 액션 활극의 진수를 선보일 것”이라면서 “김소연, 류경수 등 새롭게 등장한 캐릭터들의 하드캐리 역시 기대해 달라. 혼돈의 시대에 불시착한 6인방의 활약이 또 다른 장르적 재미를 선사한다”라고 전했다. 한편, tvN 새 토일드라마 ‘구미호뎐1938’은 ‘판도라 : 조작된 낙원’ 후속으로 오는 5월 6일(토) 밤 9시 20분 첫 방송된다.

• '비밀의 여자' 이채영X한기웅, 최재성 구치소 접견 막으려 발악 ‘역대급 분노’

  [KIKAnews] ‘비밀의 여자’의 이채영, 한기웅의 만행이 안방극장을 분노로 물들였다. 3일(어제) 저녁 7시 50분 방송된 KBS 2TV 일일드라마 ‘비밀의 여자’(연출 신창석 / 극본 이정대 / 제작 셀트리온 엔터테인먼트) 14회에서 주애라(이채영 분)와 남유진(한기웅 분)은 정현태(최재성 분)의 가족들이 구치소에 갇힌 그의 접견을 막기 위해 발악하는 모습이 그려졌다. 이날 방송에서 오세연(이슬아 분)을 살해한 혐의로 체포된 정현태(최재성 분)는 구치소에 수감 됐다. 가족들은 정현태와의 면회를 꾸준히 시도했지만, 주애라와 남유진의 계략으로 번번이 실패해 보는 이들의 애간장을 태웠다. 주애라와 남유진은 정현태가 수감 된 구치소장부터 그를 도와줄 변호사까지 매수하며 정현태를 오세연의 살인범으로 몰아갔고, 위기에 빠질 때마다 돈으로 해결하며 밑바닥을 드러냈다. 한편 오세연의 죽음으로 슬픔에 빠진 오세린(최윤영 분)은 오세연과의 추억을 회상하며 그리워했다. 이후 오세연을 죽인 범인이 정현태라는 사실을 알게 된 그녀는 구치소로 찾아가 분노했고, 가족 모두를 가만두지 않겠다고 선전포고했다. 이후 오세린은 정현태 가족에게 복수하기 위해 사람을 고용했고, 냉동창고에서 일하는 정영준(이은형 분)을 지켜본 뒤, 그를 창고에 가두었다. 하지만 고용한 사람에게서 정영준이 극적으로 구조됐다는 연락을 받고는 다시 한번 분노했고, 서태양(이선호 분)이 그녀의 통화 내용을 듣게 돼 긴장감을 폭발시켰다. 방송 말미 정현태의 접견이 가능하다는 소식을 전해 들은 정겨울은 기쁨도 잠시, 회사의 이미지 실추를 막기 위해 당분간 접견을 자제하라는 시댁 식구들 때문에 난처해했다. 정겨울은 주애라에게 고민을 털어놓았고, 두 사람은 딸 남소이의 예방접종을 핑계로 외출에 나섰다. 주애라는 의문의 여성에게 눈짓하며 자리를 비우자마자 정겨울이 딸을 잃어버리게 되면서 강렬한 엔딩을 선사했다. 방송을 본 시청자들은 “주애라 어디까지 일 저지를지 예측도 안 가네요”, “딸 눈 수술 위해서 누명 쓰고도 교도소 간 겨울 아버지 사연 너무 슬픔”, “소이까지 잃어버리게 만든 주애라 또 선넘었네” 등 뜨거운 반응을 보였다. 매회 몰입도 높은 열연으로 안방극장을 충격으로 물들이는 KBS 2TV 일일드라마 ‘비밀의 여자’는 4일(오늘) 저녁 7시 50분에 15회가 방송된다.
