"Omniscient Reader" Stars Switch From Intense Filming To Fun Moments On Set In New Behind-The-Scenes Photos

“Omniscient Reader” has shared new behind-the-scenes photos capturing the cast’s passionate performances and the friendly atmosphere on set! Based on the popular web novel of the same name, “Omniscient Reader” is a film that tells the story of Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), who suddenly finds himself living in the world of a fantasy novel he was reading. Armed with the knowledge of what happened in the novel, Kim Dok Ja sets out to save the world from ending. Lee Min Ho stars as Yoo Joong Hyuk, the protagonist from the novel that Kim Dok Ja read. The new photos show a range of moments, offering behind-the-scene glimpses of the actors’ intense performances that brought the film to life, as well as the cheerful interactions among the cast. Despite his ongoing action sequences, a dedicated Ahn Hyo Seop prepares for his next scene without showing fatigue. He is also seen holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing a tiara with a smile. Lee Min Ho, who plays Yoo Joong Hyuk, a character who grows cynical after repeated regressions in the novel’s world, shows his deep commitment to his role through his expressions alone. Chae Soo Bin, who plays Yoo Sang Ah, is seen listening attentively to the crew’s explanations and focusing in order to not miss even the smallest detail. Shin Seung Ho, who plays Lee Hyun Sung, a dependable shield for Kim Dok Ja and his companions, is seen lifting child actor Kwon Eun Seong, whose affectionate look hints at their close bond.

When the cameras are rolling, Nana passionately throws herself into the film’s action scenes. But when the cameras stop, she playfully poses for photos with director Kim Byung Woo. Finally, the sight of Ahn Hyo Seop and Nana performing high-difficulty wire action moves inspires admiration for the actors’ commitment to their roles, while also revealing how the film was able to produce its spectacular action sequences. “Omniscient Reader” is currently showing in theaters throughout South Korea.

"B:MY BOYZ" Holds 3rd Elimination Ceremony + Reveals Results Of Round 3

SBS’s idol survival show “B:MY BOYZ” has announced the results of Round 3. “B:MY BOYZ” is a boy group survival show in which top idols participate directly in choosing which contestants (known as “B:GINNERS”) make the final debut lineup. The third round of competition was a “B:GINNER’s Pick Match” in which contestants were able to choose their teams based on which song by Wanna One—this round’s top idol—they wanted to perform. However, there was a special twist: every team had to sing the second verse of the song they chose and the first verse of the song chosen by their opponent. On the latest episode of the show, it was revealed that Wanna One members Bae Jin Young, Lee Dae Hwi, Ha Sung Woon, and Park Woo Jin would be choosing six “Top Pick B:GINNERs” to exempt from elimination. The idols chose two B:GINNERs from each winning team and one B:GINNER from each losing team. Notably, all of the B:GINNERs apart from these six contestants were candidates for elimination, meaning that even members of the winning team weren’t safe unless they were chosen as Top Picks. However, all members of the winning team did gain one significant advantage: each of them had 100 points added to the individual votes they received from the live studio audience. Spoilers The results of the two battles were as follows: ENERGETIC VS. BEAUTIFUL Winning Team: Beautiful (Lim Jihwan, Haruto, Ai, Hyo, Kang Junseong, Seo Junhyeok) Top Pick B:GINNERs: Hyo and Seo Junhyeok Losing Team: Energetic (Choi Yohan, Li Zhiwei, William, Kim Bohyeon, Ikuto, Hiroto) Top Pick B:GINNER: Li Zhiwei BURN IT UP VS. BOOMERANG Winning Team: Burn It Up (Kim Jeonghoon, Park Sechan, Yang Hyeongbin, Lee Yeontae, Lee Junmyeong, Moon Jaeil) Top Pick B:GINNERs: Moon Jaeil and Kim Jeonghoon Losing Team: BOOMERANG (Lee Yunsung, Kai, Ban Daniel, Jang Won, Yang Chengxi, Park Junhyeok) Top Pick B:GINNER: Kai Aside from the six Top Pick B:GINNERs, the contestants that survived the third round of elimination and advanced to the fourth round were determined 30 percent by the votes of the live studio audience, 40 percent by online votes on my1pick, 20 percent by online votes on SBS’s official website, and 10 percent by online votes on MyStar. The four lowest-ranking contestants from Round 3 were eliminated: William (No. 21), Ikuto (No. 22), Choi Yohan (No. 23), and Yang Chengxi (No. 24). Check out the full results from Round 3 below: Hyo Lee Yeontae Kang Junseong Haruto Kai Park Sechan Kim Bohyeon Lee Junmyeong Ai Moon Jaeil Lee Yunsung Seo Junhyeok Yang Hyeongbin Kim Jeonghoon Li Zhiwei Lim Jihwan Jang Won Park Junhyeok Ban Daniel Hiroto William (ELIMINATED) Ikuto (ELIMINATED) Choi Yohan (ELIMINATED) Yang Chengxi (ELIMINATED)
