• 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.

• "Doctor Cha Jung Suk": Myeong Se Bin turns cold... Is Kim Byung Chul's double life facing a crisis?!

  In "Doctor Cha Jung-ook," a dangerous crack emerges in the double life of Kim Byung-chul and Myung Se-bin. On May 12, the JTBC weekend drama "Doctor Cha Jung-ook" (directed by Kim Dae-jin and Kim Jung-wook, written by Jung Yeo-rang, produced by Studio&New, SLL, and JCN) captured the chilly atmosphere between Seo In-ho (played by Kim Byung-chul) and Choi Seung-hee (played by Myung Se-bin). Seung-hee's cold demeanor and In-ho's stern face suggest that a major change has occurred between them, creating curiosity and suspense. In the previous episode, In-ho and Seung-hee's secret relationship was exposed, shocking their family members with the unexpected revelation. The truth also caused trouble for Cha Jung-ook (played by Um Jung-hwa), who had been trying to keep everything under control. Now that she knows about her husband's double life, she, along with Seung-hee, who is determined to fix everything, and Roy Kim (played by Min Woo-hyuk), who is starting to realize his feelings for Jung-ook, have all become unpredictable. The turning point of their complicated relationships is expected to heat up in the latter half of the drama. Seung-hee's actions at Jung-ook's birthday party, where she appears ready to flip the table, adds to the tension. Meanwhile, the newly revealed meeting between In-ho and Seung-hee on an icy surface raises questions about the changes in Seung-hee's feelings towards In-ho, who seems to be struggling with his emotions. The focus is on the crack that has emerged in their once delicate relationship and what conversations may have taken place between them.

• The seat next to Song Hye-kyo is Han So-hee! 'The era of women' has begun.

  "The era of 'Womance' opens as Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee take over the small screen with 'The Glory' and 'Doctor Cha Jung-sook', respectively. The power of strong female leads is expected to continue as upcoming works feature pairings such as Kim Tae-hee and Im Ji-yeon, and Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee. The significance of this trend is seen in the shift from the outdated, consumed narrative of female rivalry to a narrative of self-determined solidarity among women in works like 'Yeojeokyeo' (Woman's Enemy). Following 'The Glory', Song Hye-kyo will continue her success with the OTT series 'The Glory of Special Team Ten: The Game'. Han So-hee, who has been nicknamed 'Ulsan's Song Hye-kyo' since before her debut, plays a mysterious woman who gathers other women in 'The Glory of Special Team Ten: The Game'. The two actresses have already proven to be a chemistry hot spot and are captivating fans with their on-screen and off-screen bond. Through their portrayal of close friends in the drama, they have developed a strong friendship in real life and are sharing love (?)grams with their fans. Han So-hee recently caused a stir on social media by expressing her intense affection for Song Hye-kyo with the comment, "She's mine now," under a photo of the older actress. In response, Song Hye-kyo sent a coffee truck to Han So-hee's filming location, displaying their deep bond of friendship even outside of their works."
