Watch: Jang Dong Yoon Is Forced To Face His Serial Killer Mother Go Hyun Jung In "Queen Mantis" Teaser
SBS’s upcoming drama “Queen Mantis” has unveiled a new preview of its first episode! A remake of the French series “La Mante,” “Queen Mantis” is a crime thriller starring Go Hyun Jung as Jung Yi Shin, a famous serial killer nicknamed “The Mantis” who brutally murdered five men 20 years ago and has been imprisoned ever since. When a new serial killer emerges, copying The Mantis’s distinctive style, the police approach Jung Yi Shin for her assistance in solving the case. Jang Dong Yoon will star as Jung Yi Shin’s estranged son Cha Soo Yeol, a detective who has hated his mother all his life but suddenly finds himself working with her to solve the Mantis copycat murders. The preview begins with detective Choi Jung Ho (Jo Sung Ha) at the scene of the copycat crime, noting that the culprit imitated a murder from 23 years ago. He then tells Cha Soo Yeol, “Jung Yi Shin has agreed to help with this case.” But when Cha Soo Yeol learns that he will have to meet his mother face-to-face, he angrily exclaims in disbelief, “What did you just say to me? You’re asking me to meet who?” However, Choi Jung Ho points out, “If we don’t catch [the killer] now, there will be more and more victims in the future. If we ignore people that we can save, what’s the difference between that and killing them?” Forced to reunite with his mother to save lives, Cha Soo Yeol finally agrees to meet her, and the teaser ends with Jung Yi Shin greeting her son for the first time in years. Check out the full preview below!
Watch: Song Joong Ki, Chun Woo Hee, Lee Joo Myung, And Seo Ji Hoon Meet Again As Adults In New Teaser For "My Youth"
JTBC’s upcoming drama “My Youth” has unveiled a new teaser! “My Youth” is a romance drama starring Song Joong Ki as Sunwoo Hae, a man who begins living an ordinary life later than most people, and Chun Woo Hee as Sung Je Yeon, a woman who must shatter the peace of her first love for her own success. The video hints at a youthful springtime blooming again for adults who thought everything was gone and lost. Sunwoo Hae, once a beloved child actor standing in the spotlight, surrounded by bouquets, is now a florist moving through the early morning flower market. Hinting at the challenging past of a child star who burned through life’s prime too quickly, he says calmly, “I think I learned too early that there’s a certain comfort in not believing.” Sung Je Yeon, Mo Tae Rin (Lee Joo Myung), and Kim Seok Joo (Seo Ji Hoon) are all living lives far from the dreams of their childhood. Sung Je Yeon, who once wanted to be a judge, prosecutor, or lawyer, is now toiling away as an actor’s manager, a path she never planned. Former child actress Mo Tae Rin has become an actress who no longer feels confident showing her true self. Kim Seok Joo, who has never faced hardship, seems to have grown into a jaded adult despite a guaranteed safe path as the heir to Feel Entertainment. However, a reunion with a first love brings excitement to an otherwise peaceful life as Sunwoo Hae narrates, “It was just a small stone that fell, but everything tumbled. It rained to make your life clearer.” Even though they’re meeting for the first time in 15 years, Sunwoo Hae and Sung Je Yeon look so familiar and comfortable with one another, it feels like they saw each other just yesterday. Meanwhile, Mo Tae Rin sheds tears alone, and Kim Seok Joo approaches her with a smile, as if finding her sadness endearing. He asks, “Why are you crying?” When Mo Tae Rin responds, “Why are you smiling?” he makes hearts race by answering without hesitation, “Because you’re beautiful.” As the teaser ends with the bright smiles of Sunwoo Hae, Sung Je Yeon, Mo Tae Rin, and Kim Seok Joo, Sunwoo Hae’s voice says, “I just want my world to be beautiful, even if it’s only once in a while.” Watch the full teaser below! “My Youth,” which premieres on September 5 at 8:50 p.m. KST, will be available with subtitles on Viki.
Jang Dong Yoon Talks About Upcoming Drama "Queen Mantis" And How He Prepared For His Role
Jang Dong Yoon has talked about his character in SBS’s upcoming drama “Queen Mantis”! A remake of the French series “La Mante,” “Queen Mantis” is a crime thriller starring Go Hyun Jung as Jung Yi Shin, a famous serial killer nicknamed “The Mantis” who brutally murdered five men 20 years ago and has been imprisoned ever since. When a new serial killer emerges, copying The Mantis’s distinctive style, the police approach Jung Yi Shin for her assistance in solving the case. Jang Dong Yoon will star as Jung Yi Shin’s estranged son Cha Soo Yeol, a detective who has hated his mother all his life but suddenly finds himself forced to work with her to solve the Mantis copycat murders. Describing the character of Cha Soo Yeol, Jang Dong Yoon explained, “He is someone who lives his life denying his own bloodline. He wants to live as though his mother doesn’t exist in his life.” In terms of how he prepared to embody the tough Cha Soo Yeol, he shared, “The makeup team made me look rough in order to match the genre,” adding, “I bulked up just a little. Since I enjoy working out, the preparation process wasn’t very difficult.” According to the drama’s production team, not only did Jang Dong Yoon run tirelessly while pursuing the copycat killer in his role as Cha Soo Yeol, but he also personally performed various action scenes without holding back. Jang Dong Yoon commented, “Compared to the action scenes I’d done in previous projects, the level of difficulty of the action scenes in ‘Queen Mantis’ wasn’t particularly high, so it was manageable.” Encouraging viewers to tune in to the drama, Jang Dong Yoon remarked, “The drama ‘Queen Mantis,’ which everyone worked hard on in a great atmosphere, will soon be unveiled. Please show it lots of interest and love. I will continue to repay you with good performances as actor Jang Dong Yoon. Thank you.” “Queen Mantis” premieres on September 5 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Lee Young Ae plays Kang Eun Soo, an ordinary housewife who enters a forbidden world. Kim Young Kwang stars as Lee Kyung, a popular after-school art teacher who secretly works as a drug dealer. The stills highlight the sharply contrasting auras of Lee Young Ae and Kim Young Kwang, who meet as a parent and an art instructor before later transforming into secret business partners.

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.
