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.

"Smuggling" - Character Stills of Kim Hye-soo, Yeom Jung-ah, Cho In-sung, Park Jung-min, Kim Jong-soo, and Go Min-si, each with their own distinct colors and personalities.
- "Smuggling" is a maritime crime drama that unfolds a story of individuals who make a living by retrieving essential goods thrown into the sea, only to be caught up in a once-in-a-lifetime smuggling operation. Firstly, Kim Hye-soo, in the role of Jo Choon-ja, captivates the audience with her intense gaze that seems to pierce through the screen. As one of Korea's leading actors, known for her exceptional acting skills that bring depth and weight to her performances, Kim Hye-soo is expected to deliver raw and powerful acting in the role of Jo Choon-ja. Yeom Jung-ah, portraying Eom Jin-suk, Choon-ja's best friend and the leader of the female divers involved in smuggling, exudes charisma with her serious yet loyal demeanor. Regardless of the genre, Yeom Jung-ah, who skillfully embodies both intense characters and human aspects, is anticipated to showcase even more dense and compelling acting. Reuniting with director Ryoo Seung-wan after "The Battleship Island," Cho In-sung takes on the role of Kwon Sang-sa, the smuggling kingpin who enters the smuggling operation with his business acumen and malicious nature. Cho In-sung's visual appearance perfectly matches the character of Kwon Sang-sa, and his intense acting style and aura, different from his previous filmography, align well with the atmosphere of "Smuggling." Park Jung-min, portraying the youngest member Jang Do-ri, who has never seen the world outside of the smuggling ring between Jo Choon-ja and Eom Jin-suk, embodies the unique retro vibe of the 1970s in "Smuggling" with distinctive costumes and makeup. Park Jung-min, with his own charismatic acting style, will showcase the multifaceted development of Jang Do-ri, transitioning from an innocent youngster to someone who gradually opens their eyes to the world of smuggling. Kim Jong-soo, in the role of Customs Officer Lee Jang-chun, plays a pivotal role in capturing those who dive into the dangerous smuggling world. Known for his realistic acting in theater and film, Kim Jong-soo's distinct image captures attention and adds to the allure of "Smuggling." Lastly, Go Min-si, the hidden gem of "Smuggling," undergoes a surprising transformation as the young Madam Go Ok-boon, complete with seagull-like eyebrows and heavy makeup. Go Min-si's confident and delightful charm is highly anticipated as she portrays the vibrant and knowledgeable character of Madam Go Ok-boon, starting as a café assistant and gradually becoming a madam.

- The production team of the upcoming tvN drama "So, Useless Lie" has released a romantic comedy poster that raises heartbeats just by looking at it. The drama, starring Kim So-hyun and Hwang Min-hyun, promises an exceptionally anticipated romance filled with "max level roco power" (romantic comedy power). "So, Useless Lie" revolves around Mok Sol-hee (played by Kim So-hyun), a liar hunter who can hear lies and finds it difficult to trust people, and Kim Do-ha (played by Hwang Min-hyun), a genius composer hiding an undisclosed identity. Their paths cross, leading to a romantic journey of truth-seeking. With its blend of realistic fantasy, romance, and mystery, the drama is expected to offer a delightful and diverse viewing experience. Kim So-hyun portrays Mok Sol-hee, the liar hunter who grew up hearing all kinds of lies. Her life takes a new turn when she becomes entangled with the enigmatic neighbor, Kim Do-ha. Hwang Min-hyun takes on the role of Kim Do-ha, a star composer with an undisclosed secret. As he meets the peculiar neighbor Mok Sol-hee, he rediscovers the lost laughter in his life while living as a faceless composer. The poster featuring Kim So-hyun and Hwang Min-hyun intensifies curiosity about the relationship between Mok Sol-hee, who "hears the truth," and Kim Do-ha, who "hides the truth." Various game objects are placed in front of the two, as if they are engaged in a thrilling truth game. The "Truth" and "Lie" cards scattered among them also catch attention. Mok Sol-hee confidently smiles, declaring, "I know it all!" while Kim Do-ha's expression sparkles with curiosity and caution, as if he says, "Do you... know it all?!" The contrasting dynamic between them adds to the intrigue. Mok Sol-hee gently holds Kim Do-ha's hand, who is holding the "Lie" card. Even if Kim Do-ha tries to hide, it's useless in front of Mok Sol-hee. What kind of lie did he detect? The phrase "truth-seeking romance" combined with the closeness of their hands raises curiosity and quickens heartbeats. The drama also raises questions about what changes will occur when Kim Do-ha, who carries a secret that he can't share with anyone, meets Mok Sol-hee, who can decipher and understand everything with a single word. The production team of "So, Useless Lie" expressed their anticipation for the romance between Mok Sol-hee and Kim Do-ha, who, despite their different personalities and backgrounds, are drawn to each other by a mysterious attraction.

Especially with the 'Kingdom' series, she introduced a unique Joseon-era zombie concept, creating a Korean-style zombie phenomenon worldwide. When asked about 'Goblin,' what kind of existence is it to Kim Eun-hee? To me, 'goblin' represents the 'bad thoughts' that shake and tempt my mind. In the drama, I wanted to depict people who are even more evil than goblins as goblins themselves. Can you point out some highlights that will make 'Goblin' even more enjoyable? From the title alone, you might think it's a scary drama. While there are certainly scary elements, the focus of the drama lies in the stories of San-yeong, Hae-sang, Hong-sae, and other characters. When it gets scary, you can close your eyes for a moment. It might be more enjoyable to watch with family or friends while having a drink together. 'Goblin' is a Korean-style occult mystery drama that delves into the enigmatic deaths, featuring a woman with a grudge against goblins and a man who can see them. The first episode aired on Friday, the 23rd, at 10 PM.

- Cha Seung-won, represented by YG Entertainment, has announced that he will be starring in the Netflix film 'Jeon, Ran' with Park Chan-wook directing and Kim Sang-man directing the screenplay. 'Jeon, Ran' is set in the chaotic era of the Japanese invasions of Korea, depicting the story of Jong-ryeo (played by Park Jung-min), the son of the most prestigious military household in Joseon, and his loyal bodyguard Cheon-yeong (played by Kang Dong-won), who become enemies as they join forces with Sunjo (played by Cha Seung-won), a high-ranking court official and rebel. Cha Seung-won will portray King Sunjo, who flees the country and abandons his people when the war breaks out, only to focus on rebuilding the king's authority after the war. He will skillfully portray the dark side of a ruler in turbulent times, adding tension to the film. With his overwhelming charisma that dominated the screen in films like 'The Man Standing Next' and 'Night in Paradise,' Cha Seung-won captivated audiences with his terrifying presence. In the film 'Sinkhole,' he brought a warm touch to the character of a neighbor, drawing the audience closer. In the drama 'One Day,' he created a fascinating eccentric lawyer character who seamlessly transitioned between comedy and tragedy, while in the drama 'Blues of Our Lives,' his emotive acting left a deep impression. In the drama 'Hwajung,' he received praise for his portrayal of a lonely and isolated character in a unique interpretation of King Gwanghae. Therefore, there is great anticipation for Cha Seung-won's portrayal of King Sunjo. With his ability to create diverse and ever-changing characters in each project, Cha Seung-won has consistently captivated viewers, and his collaboration with director Park Chan-wook, who skillfully portrays the actor's charm with elegant mise-en-scène and delicate direction, raises curiosity about the explosive synergy they will bring forth.
