• 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.

I learned from him, 'I can immerse myself in a character to this extent,' 'I can interpret and express the same scene in this way,' 'To bring a scene to life, these things are necessary.' It became the first turning point in my acting career." Lastly, when asked how he would like to be remembered as an actor after 20 years, Kim Tae Hee replied, "An actor who is curious about the next project. It would be a great blessing if I can continue to work on projects even after 20 years. I also have a desire to become an actor who is more relatable than I am now. People who know me well are aware that I am a very simple and ordinary person, but viewers may not know that. I want to become someone who exudes even more humanity both on and off the screen."

• "Don't Fall for Me" Suzy's Awkward Declaration (Iduna!)

  On the 18th, Netflix Korea released a short teaser for the highly anticipated drama series "Iduna!" set to be released in the second half of the year. "Iduna!" tells the story of a regular college student named Won Joon (played by Yang Se-jong) who encounters retired K-pop idol Duna (played by Bae Suzy) in a sharehouse. The drama is based on a popular webtoon of the same name, known for its romance between the former idol housemate and its delicate portrayal of emotions. In the released video, Duna sits next to Won Joon and smiles, saying, "Let's have a meal." Nervously, Won Joon asks, "Right now?" To which Duna replies, "Let's eat when I feel like it. I feel like it now, though," with an irresistible expression that is hard to refuse. Later, while walking together, Duna declares, "Don't fall for me." Her dazzling visuals contrast with a somewhat lonely expression, arousing curiosity about her story. However, in the following scene, Duna looks at the sleeping Won Joon leaning on her shoulder with a complex and subtle expression on her face. Her cheeks, as previously mentioned, catch the attention. Won Joon even puts a hat on Duna, displaying natural physical affection. The romance between the captivating Bae Suzy and Yang Se-jong has garnered high anticipation from viewers. Netflix Original "Iduna!" is scheduled to be released in the latter half of this year.
