• 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.

• "Hip and Cool," a Supernatural Comedy That Goes from Funny to Creepy... Truly a Hip 'Psychomic Thriller'."

  On the afternoon of the 10th, a production presentation for the new JTBC weekend drama 'Hip and Cool' (directed by Kim Suk-yoon and Choi Bo-yoon, written by Lee Nam-gyu, Oh Bo-hyun, Kim Da-hee, produced by Studio Phoenix and SLL) was held. Director Kim Suk-yoon, Han Ji-min, Lee Min-ki, and Suho attended the event. Following 'King The Land,' starring Lee Jun-ho and Im Yoon-ah, 'Hip and Cool' is a comedic investigative drama set in the crime-free rural village of Mujin. It follows Bong Yeh-bun (played by Han Ji-min), a diligent veterinarian who gains the ability of psychometry, seeing the past of animals and humans, and Mun Jang-yeol (played by Lee Min-ki), an ambitious detective who needs her ability to return to Seoul. Director Kim Suk-yoon said, "In our drama, Director Bong Yeh-bun, who is a veterinarian in a rural area, gains supernatural powers by chance. It's a handicap-like supernatural ability. Using this ability, she teams up with passionate detective Mun Jang-yeol, who wants to return to Seoul. It's a comedic investigative drama that also gets involved in a series of murder cases. I can introduce it as a drama where you can enjoy both comedy and thriller elements to the fullest." Reuniting with writer Lee Nam-gyu after "Dazzling," director Kim Suk-yoon stated, "We first started with a sitcom. We had good chemistry with comedy. When it comes to dramas, they tend to be more serious, but after 'Joseon Detective,' we thought of trying a fun comedy again and that's how this drama came about." Han Ji-min said, "Of course, the meaning of the work is important, and sometimes I choose a project because I feel the charm of the character. But actors who have experienced acting on the director's set always feel joy and happiness. I thought it was a romantic comedy, but it's a work that goes beyond that, having both extreme comedy and thriller elements. I have ambitions for comedy as an actor, but it's also a genre that requires courage. During 'Joseon Detective,' the director and writer portrayed something very appealing to me, so I chose it because I can trust them completely when it comes to breathing life into comedy."

As the conflict between Gu Won and Gu Hwa-ran intensifies, the heat of the inheritance war grows, and their opposing records in the business world are explored. Initially, Gu Won had no intention of involving himself in the company's management and left for England, indicating that he didn't want to fight. He firmly vowed not to return to Korea, but when his missing mother's King Hotel personnel record card arrived, his resolution crumbled. To find traces of his mother, Gu Won accepted the position of the head of King Hotel despite Gu Hwa-ran's warning and set the stage for the inheritance war. Gu Hwa-ran's provocations were enough to awaken the dormant spirit in Gu Won. He couldn't tolerate Gu Hwa-ran's actions, which valued the company's profits over human lives. In order to save the endangered employee, Cheon Sarang (played by Im Yoon-ah), Gu Won went to great lengths and even dispatched a helicopter. Gu Hwa-ran ridiculed Gu Won's action to save one employee and held a press conference to shift all the blame onto herself, intending to incite public anger. However, Gu Hwa-ran's plan collapsed due to Cheon Sarang's sincerity in wanting to express gratitude to Gu Won. The public opinion shifted in favor of Gu Hwa-ran, but the journalists started recognizing Gu Won's presence. Even more, when Gu Won resolved to grow stronger to protect his employees, it became a setback for Gu Hwa-ran. As Gu Won successfully closed the most critical deal at King Hotel and laid the foundation as the head, he gained momentum and weakened Gu Hwa-ran's position by taking charge of King Hotel's 100th-anniversary event. The expectations for the conclusion of the King Group's management war are high as we wonder if Gu Won can overcome Gu Hwa-ran's numerous allies and claim the throne. Meanwhile, the JTBC weekend drama 'The King's Affection' will air its 13th episode on tomorrow (July 29) at 10:30 PM.
