Shin Ye Eun Shares Her “A Hundred Memories” Character’s MBTI, Bond With Kim Da Mi, And More

Shin Ye Eun has opened up about her role in the upcoming JTBC drama “A Hundred Memories”! Set in the 1980s, “A Hundred Memories” is a nostalgic coming-of-age romance drama about the friendship between two young bus attendants, Go Young Rye (Kim Da Mi) and Seo Jong Hee (Shin Ye Eun), and their shared first love Han Jae Pil (Heo Nam Jun). Shin Ye Eun says the drama deeply resonated with her sense of the era: “That time felt like a society full of warmth and human connection. Even without anything extraordinary happening, young people lived each day happily through genuine bonds with others. I was especially moved by how they loved passionately and lived fully, putting aside pride to live without regrets.” Although she’s never been a bus attendant herself, Shin Ye Eun has her own special memories of the profession. “As a child, I loved the cartoon ‘Black Rubber Shoes,’ which featured bus attendants. Their image left a strong impression, so the role always felt familiar and relatable.” She also asked older generations about their memories and discovered that many had fond memories of bus attendants from that time. “That’s when I realized this story could connect with a wide audience,” she explained, adding that viewers who lived through the era will feel nostalgic, while younger audiences can experience its unique atmosphere and emotions. Shin Ye Eun’s character Seo Jong Hee is a rookie bus attendant who arrives at Cheong Ah Transport like a comet. Beautiful and confident, she exudes a ‘girl crush’ charm. “At first, her cool personality really stood out to me,” Shin Ye Eun said. “But as filming progressed, Jong Hee became someone I wanted to support and protect. If I had to analyze her with MBTI, she’s an ESFP. She seems strong and rational on the outside, but is actually sensitive and tender-hearted. The more I got to know her, the more I felt her warmth and realized she’s someone who needs care.” The drama will also highlight 1980s fashion through Jong Hee. “One of her charms that only I know about was her fashion sense and innate eye for style. I wanted to show that naturally through her outfits, so I researched and put a lot of effort into it. I think viewers will enjoy these small but meaningful details,” she added. The friendship between Jong Hee and Go Young Rye is a central focus of the series. Shin Ye Eun admitted, “At first, portraying the emotion of friendship was difficult. But eventually, just seeing Young Rye’s face or hearing her name would bring tears to my eyes.” Her favorite scene is the dorm rooftop moment, glimpsed in previous teasers and stills. “All the atmosphere and emotions from that moment when I listened to Young Rye’s dreams still feel vivid to me,” she recalled. She also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Kim Da Mi: “I was genuinely happy to be able to create such a precious character with Da Mi.” “A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.

Joo Jong Hyuk Trembles With Terror As A Knife Targets His Pinky In “Confidence Queen”

The upcoming drama “Confidence Queen” has offered a sneak peek of Joo Jong Hyuk’s tumultuous journey! 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. Joo Jong Hyuk stars as Myung Gu Ho, the youngest, most righteous, and most innocent member of the team. An energetic, action-oriented character full of fiery passion, Myung Gu Ho is a mix of lively energy, subtle clumsiness, and fearless determination. The newly released stills hint at the “three stages of humiliation” Myung Gu Ho experiences during a mission—fear, tears, and enlightenment. In one intense scene, he is captured by assailants and confronted with a big knife aimed at his pinky finger, his terror evident in his expression. Other stills show Myung Gu Ho in equally dramatic and comedic moments: some stills capture him with a bloody nose covered by tissue as he trembles under the threat of a gun in his mouth, while another reveals his lighter side, flashing a bright smile as he peeks around a partially opened wall. The production team praised Joo Jong Hyuk, saying, “He is an incredibly dedicated actor who constantly explores the different layers of his character. We are confident that audiences will fully experience his dynamic charm in ‘Confidence Queen.’” “Confidence Queen” will premiere on September 6 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

Han Suk Kyu, Bae Hyeon Seong, And Lee Re Suit Up To Take On A Chicken Business And Negotiations In “Shin’s Project” Poster

tvN’s upcoming drama “Shin’s Project” has unveiled a new poster! “Shin’s Project” is a new drama starring Han Suk Kyu as Mr. Shin, a former legendary negotiator who now runs a modest chicken restaurant while hiding a mysterious secret. A neighborhood hero who takes it upon himself to mediate conflicts and assist people through seemingly unwinnable situations, Mr. Shin willingly jumps into other people’s conflicts to settle their problems and deliver justice. In the newly released poster, Mr. Shin, Jo Philip (Bae Hyeon Seong), and Lee Si On (Lee Re) stand side by side, drawing attention with their unique personalities. Mr. Shin, shown buttoning his shirt with a relaxed smile, gives off a dependable presence as if he could handle any task entrusted to him. Jo Philip, with his upright posture and steady gaze, gives off the aura of a legal professional. Lee Si On, gripping a delivery bag and marching forward with confidence, conveys a bold, energetic spirit. Above all, the three wear sharp suits that set them apart from ordinary fried chicken restaurant owners and employees, hinting at the unusual nature of the restaurant to come. The phrase on the poster, “Delivery is on the way! The chicken is delicious, and the solutions are even tastier!” also makes a strong impression. At first glance, it seems like a simple slogan for fried chicken restaurant employees, but the words reveal their extraordinary identity as people who resolve disputes while serving chicken, heightening anticipation for the trio’s upcoming activities. “Mr. Shin” will premiere on September 15 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
