Park Hee Soon Is The Smooth And Dependable Big Brother Figure Of Park Min Young’s Con Team In “Confidence Queen”
The upcoming drama “Confidence Queen” has unveiled new stills of Park Hee Soon in character! A Korean adaptation of the 2018 Japanese comedy drama “The Confidence Man JP,” “Confidence Queen” follows three con artists with extraordinary talents as they pull off elaborate scams targeting villains from all walks of life. Park Min Young stars as Yoon Yi Rang, a con artist with an IQ of 165 and a genius-level intellect in the top 1 percent. With her eccentric thinking and cold charisma, she leads the team in their intricate schemes. Park Hee Soon stars as James, the eldest member and big brother figure of the team. James balances the group with his smooth attitude, disarming humor, and quietly commanding presence—a character exuding timeless, classic charm. The new stills highlight James’s infinite charms as the “gentleman” of the team. In one still, James sports a hip, colorful outfit and neatly organizes stacks of cash on a table, flashing a bright smile that reflects his role as the group’s anchor. In another, holding a champagne glass with a soft gaze, James radiates effortless warmth in transparent horn-rimmed glasses and a perfectly fitting denim shirt. A different shot captures James in a sharp suit, staring out of a building window with a piercing look befitting a master strategist. Sharing why he chose “Confidence Queen,” Park Hee Soon explained, “I’ve been taking on a lot of heavy and serious roles lately, so I wanted to try something light and fun. I also had a strong thirst for change.” He continued, “I was drawn to the multifaceted charms of James. He’s a character with both wit and the ability to resolve situations. What really appealed to me was the chance to not only do comedy but also transform into a variety of personas through James. I was excited to bring him to life in the unique, fast-paced, and exhilarating atmosphere of ‘Confidence Queen.’” The actor also opened up about the challenges of portraying the role in detail: “With every new script that came out, I had to directly set the character analysis, acting style, costumes, and makeup for each of James’s different personas, which wasn’t easy. For the external aspects, I worked closely with the costume and makeup teams, gathering a lot of references and ideas to create each character. After that, I studied speech patterns, gestures, and even walking styles to fully complete the portrayals.” Finally, Park Hee Soon added a message for viewers: “‘Confidence Queen’ is a thrilling, game-like drama filled with unique characters. Every moment is packed with unexpected twists, balancing humor and suspense. I hope everyone will enjoy the ride together.” “Confidence Queen” is set to premiere on September 6 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
Watch: Sul Kyung Gu And Hong Kyung Team Up For Daring Operation To Land Hijacked Plane In Netflix Film “Good News”
Netflix’s upcoming film “Good News” has locked in its premiere date and unveiled a striking new poster and teaser trailer! Set in 1970, “Good News” follows a group of people who hatch a suspicious plan to land a hijacked airplane by any means necessary. The newly released poster captures attention with the Korean Peninsula as its backdrop, framed by the enigmatic fixer known only as Nobody (Sul Kyung Gu) and elite Air Force lieutenant Seo Go Myung (Hong Kyung). In the film, a passenger plane is hijacked by a Japanese communist group and forced toward Pyongyang. As the governments of Japan and South Korea scramble to respond, Nobody—a mysterious problem solver with no known name or background—receives a direct order from the Korean Central Intelligence Agency chief Park Sang Hyun (Ryoo Seung Bum) to make sure the plane lands. With his razor-sharp wit, quick improvisation, and uncanny adaptability, Nobody has long operated in the shadows, handling the nation’s most delicate crises. But his unreadable expression hints that this mission will be anything but easy. Meanwhile, Seo Go Myung, an elite lieutenant unexpectedly drawn into the operation, faces a near-impossible task: to outsmart the hijackers and re-hijack the already hijacked plane from the ground. Pictured in the poster as if emerging from Nobody’s mind, Seo Go Myung’s grim determination raises questions about whether he can succeed in carrying out the daring plan. The teaser kicks off with Nobody’s line: “Real events that happened, a little bit of creativity, and the willingness to believe—when those three things come together…” From there, the suspense ramps up as a clandestine mission unfolds to bring the hijacked aircraft safely onto Korean soil. Set to an upbeat rhythm, the trailer highlights the dramatic transformation of Gimpo Airport into Pyongyang Airport, further fueling curiosity about how Nobody, Seo Go Myung, and Park Sang Hyun will carry out such an unprecedented operation. Adding to the intrigue, Seo Go Myung remarks, “Sometimes even the truth lies,” to which Nobody replies, “And lies also tell the truth.” Paired with the tagline “Unbelievable news,” the trailer leaves audiences wondering if this daring mission will ultimately deliver the “Good News” its title promises. “Good News” will premiere on October 17.
