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.

• [Bijillante] Nam Joo-hyuk Shreds Webtoon and Takes the Spotlight

  The Disney+ series 'Vigilante' follows the typical strong-strong-weak-weak narrative. It caters to the weak with weakness and to the strong with strength. The show seeks to bring 'justice' to criminals who haven't received appropriate punishment, delivering a refreshing experience through exhilarating action. Following the success of Disney+ K-content like 'Moving' and 'The Worst Villain Ever,' 'Vigilante' based on the webtoon by Kim Kyu-sam, which has accumulated over 370 million views, proves to be another promising work. Directed by Choi Jung-yeol, known for movies like 'Glory Day' and 'Start-Up,' 'Vigilante' marks his first venture into a series. The story revolves around Kim Ji-yong, a diligent police academy student during the day, who seeks retribution against criminals who haven't faced proper punishment at night. In the first episode, released on the 8th, the reasons behind police academy student Kim Ji-yong's (played by Nam Joo-hyuk) quest to judge criminals are depicted. Ji-yong lost his mother to a thug in his childhood. When that thug received a lenient sentence due to mental illness, Ji-yong, now an adult, begins taking matters into his own hands by directly dealing with criminals. Investigative reporter Choi Mi-ryeo (played by Kim So-jin), who follows these special cases, refers to the mysterious figure who enforces her own 'justice' as 'Vigilante.' Ji-yong, by day a regular police academy student, transforms into someone who, at night, seeks justice through punches against criminals living freely despite facing no legal consequences. "Vigilante" incorporates incidents that evoke real-life events, such as episodes involving criminals who have committed sexual assault against minors but received lenient sentences and subsequently targeted their victims again after release. Beyond these episodes, the series addresses societal issues like drugs, random violence, posing questions throughout about what constitutes 'law and justice.' While the presence of a figure passing judgment on criminals is welcomed, Vigilante's engagement in personal revenge clashes with the acts of the criminals, creating tension. The existence of Vigilante, a dark hero shaped by the world, continues to make viewers ponder whether it is indeed righteous. Nam Joo-hyuk's acting transformation is impressive, shedding his previous clean image to fully embody the character of Kim Ji-yong. Whether displaying a playful demeanor with friends or unleashing a wrathful gaze to mete out justice against criminals at night, Nam Joo-hyuk captivates the audience. His agile action sequences and impactful blows, accentuated by his 187cm height, deliver a satisfying viewing experience. Director Choi Jung-yeol explained, "I thought Ji-yong is a character with two different eyes. While at the police academy, he is very upright and intelligent, but when engaging in Vigilante activities at night, he has a peculiar smile and exudes a strange feeling." 'Vigilante' is released twice a week on Wednesdays, with only the first two episodes currently available. Towards the end of the second episode, the head of the special investigation team, Cho Heon (played by Yoo Ji-tae), appears in an attempt to apprehend Vigilante. Yoo Ji-tae, who gained 20kg for the character, overwhelms the atmosphere with his mere presence. Kim So-jin, transformed into a journalist named Choi Mi-ryeo, adds to the tension of the drama by expressing her desire to catch the vigilante. With a cast including Nam Joo-hyuk, Yoo Ji-tae, Kim So-jin, and the yet-to-appear Lee Joon-hyuk, 'Vigilante' features a strong lineup of actors who question what constitutes the execution of true justice. If you're curious about the answers to these questions, the show comes highly recommended. Note that it is rated as not suitable for youth audiences.

• Park Seo-joon, a talented actor...Differentiated from other Marvel movies

  "The Marvels" director Nia DaCosta revealed everything about "The Marvels" from Park Seo-joon's joining to what distinguishes him from other Marvel films. On the morning of the 7th, a video press conference was held online by director Nia DaCosta of "The Marbles." On this day, director Nia DaCosta talked about various stories about "The Marbles." "The Marvels" is a hero action blockbuster that unexpectedly plays a new team play with "Monica Rambo" and "Kamala Khan" of Miz Marvel whenever the hero Captain Marvel "Caral Danvers" uses his ability. Director Nia DaCosta said, "Hello, nice to meet you" in Korean, saying, "I'm grateful to be here to talk about my movie like this. I directed and co-wrote "The Marbles." Director Nia DaCosta, who first joined the MCU through "The Marvels," and known as a fan of Marvel Comics, said, "I couldn't believe it." Because I was a huge fan of this universe, I was so excited to think about having fun in the universe I love," he said. Regarding the burden of directing the sequel "The Marvels" of "Captain Marvel," he replied, "I jumped in with the determination to make sequels for several movies, including Miz Marvel, WandaVision and Endgame, rather than a sequel," and expressed his determination, saying, "All the stories were woven together and they focused on finishing their journey." As for the difference from other Marvel films, "This film was already a very differentiated subject. I added my vision and differences to this and finished focusing on action and emotion lines. I focused on my steps to maximize this dynamic," he replied. In particular, Korean actor Park Seo-joon is drawing attention as he enters the MCU as Prince Jan in "The Marbles." Regarding the casting opportunity, director Nia DaCosta said, "When I was in the midst of Corona, my friend recommended it and I watched the drama 'Itaewon Class', and Park Seo-joon caught my eye. A few months later, a movie offer came in, and I contacted him directly because I thought Park Seo-joon was eligible for the role of Prince Jan. Regarding how he felt about working together, he said, "Talent learning and bringing good energy to the field. "I was a fun person, so I worked in a pleasant atmosphere, receiving love from many people on the spot," he praised. As for Park Seo-joon's amount, he said, "I wanted to go back to Captain Marvel's past through this movie. The contents are made up of people who met with the place where Captain Marvel went, and Prince Jan is one of them, he said. "It's short in screen time, but it plays an important role as an impactful role." As for Park Seo-joon's role in the movie, "I can't give you much information. It's not fun if you know it," he said, but hinted that he was a person who played the role of monarch as Prince Yan and had a deep history with Captain Marvel. "Prince Yan comes out in cool costumes and is a cool character," he said, adding, "We have something in common with Captain Marvel because we have something in common with the person they want to protect." Regarding the possibility of Prince Jan's sequel, he also avoided answering, saying, "Only PD Kevin Feige, the monarch of the MCU, knows." In addition to "Captain Marvel," Monica Rambo and Kamala Khan appear as the main characters in "The Marvels." As for their harmony and balance, he began by saying, "Since Monica Rambo and Miz Marble are introduced as adult characters for the first time, it was important for these two different characters to be fully dealt with and talked about while following the Captain Marvel journey." "The conflict arises when the two are thrown into the world of Captain Marvel, and in the process of resolving it, we focused on balancing individual journeys and stories so that the three characters could shine," he said. "I tried to differentiate the action style in the battle scene as well." This is because the character's personality, background, and power are different. "I can also see them evolving in the midst of the three of them working together to fight," he explained about the directing point. The planet Aladna, where Captain Marvel meets Prince Jan, is a place where people communicate through dance and song. In response, director Nia DaCosta said, "I enjoyed the device using song and dance. There is also a scene where Captain Marvel and Prince Jan dance together, he said. "Since I'm a musical fan, I added that part as well. I'm looking forward to how you'll take pleasure because I enjoyed working on it," he said. November 8, the release date of "The Marbles" in Korea, is also the birthday of director Nia DaCosta. In response, director Nia DaCosta said, "Thank you for congratulating me. I hope you enjoy this movie, and in a way, it will be a birthday present for you. I hope you enjoy watching and enjoy it," he said and left his last greeting. The movie 'The Marbles' is scheduled to be released on the 8th
