Watch: NCT's Jaemin And Jeno Show Off Contrasting Charms In "Amazing Saturday" Preview
Get ready to see NCT’s Jaemin and Jeno on “Amazing Saturday”! The popular tvN variety show has revealed a sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will feature Jaemin and Jeno as guests alongside Im Woo Il and Kim Ji Yoo. Jaemin and Jeno, who recently made their unit debut as the new duo NCT JNJM, display entirely different charms in the preview. Jeno proves sharp and perceptive when it comes to the show’s games, but Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon quickly swoops in to “steal” his answers, playfully telling him, “Life is all about timing!” Meanwhile, Jaemin isn’t quite as adept at the guessing games as his bandmate. After hearing one of the quiz questions, he tells the cast members, “This is our song.” But when asked for help with the answer, he cracks everyone up by responding, “I can’t think of it right now.” Shin Dong Yup jokingly observes, “Jaemin is the one trying the hardest to figure out the right answer.”
"The King's Warden" Surpasses 11 Million Moviegoers Faster Than "Exhuma" And "12.12: The Day"
Just two days after surpassing 10 million moviegoers, “The King’s Warden” has reached another impressive milestone! On the morning of March 8 KST, the Korean Film Council announced that “The King’s Warden” had officially drawn over 11 million moviegoers. “The King’s Warden” first hit theaters on February 4, meaning that the film hit the 11 million mark on the 33rd day of its release. The movie reached the milestone at the same speed as the 2024 blockbuster “The Roundup: Punishment” (also known as “The Outlaws 4”)—and faster than hits like “Exhuma” (which took 40 days to surpass 11 million moviegoers), “12.12: The Day” (36 days), and “Masquerade” (48 days). “The King’s Warden” is the first Korean film to center on the story of King Danjong (Park Ji Hoon), the sixth king of Joseon. After ascending the throne at age 12, Danjong was ultimately dethroned by his uncle Grand Prince Suyang and exiled to Cheongnyeongpo in Gangwon Province, where he met his tragic end. Set in 1457, the film follows village chief Eom Heung Do (Yoo Hae Jin), who voluntarily transforms his village into an exile site to revitalize its future, and the unexpected bond he forms with the young dethroned king. Congratulations to the cast and crew of “The King’s Warden”!
“The King’s Warden” Becomes First Korean Film In Nearly 2 Years To Surpass 10 Million Moviegoers
“The King’s Warden” has surpassed 10 million moviegoers just 31 days after its release! On March 6, the Korean Film Council announced that the film officially exceeded 10 million cumulative viewers as of 6:30 p.m. KST, 31 days after its release on February 4. With this achievement, “The King’s Warden” becomes the 25th Korean film in history to surpass the 10 million admissions mark. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, it is also the sixth film to reach the milestone. Excluding the three installments of “The Roundup” franchise, it marks the third standalone film to do so following “12.12: The Day” and “Exhuma.” The film is also the first Korean movie in about 22 months to cross the 10 million mark, since “The Roundup: Punishment” achieved the feat in May 2024. In addition, “The King’s Warden” becomes only the fourth historical film to surpass 10 million admissions, following “The King and the Clown,” “Masquerade,” and “The Admiral: Roaring Currents.” Set during the Joseon Dynasty, the film centers on King Danjong (Park Ji Hoon), the sixth king of Joseon, who is betrayed by his uncle and dethroned before being exiled to Cheongnyeongpo in Yeongwol, Gangwon Province. There, he encounters Eom Heung Do (Yoo Hae Jin), the head of the local village, setting the story’s events in motion. The film also stars Yoo Ji Tae, Jeon Mi Do, Lee Jun Hyuk, Kim Min, and Ahn Jae Hong, among others. Congratulations to the movie’s cast and crew!

The cast includes Jun Ji Hyun, Koo Kyo Hwan, Ji Chang Wook, Shin Hyun Been, Kim Shin Rok, and Go Soo.

The striking visual hints at the birth of a never-before-seen species and at how the infected in the film will become a “colony.” The image of the infected moving together in one direction also hints at the fierce confrontations and suspense between survivors and the infected that will unfold on screen. “Colony” is set to hit theaters in May.

Jun So Min And Kim Doyeon Are All Smiles In First Poster For New Film "18 Youth"
Upcoming film “18 Youth” has shared a poster featuring Jun So Min and Kim Doyeon! On March 4, production company 26 Company announced that “18 Youth” will be released on March 25 and also unveiled a poster offering a glimpse of the teacher-student chemistry between Jun So Min and Kim Doyeon. Based on a novel, “18 Youth” is a film depicting the meeting of Hee Joo (Jun So Min), a high school teacher who is popular amongst students for her unconventional educational perspective but scorned by fellow teachers, and Soon Jung (Kim Doyeon), an 18-year-old high school student who finds her eccentric homeroom teacher annoying. WJSN’s Chu So Jung (Exy) takes on the role of Kyung Hee, a top student in Hee Joo’s class who always ranks No. 1. The newly released main poster captures Hee Joo and Soon Jung standing side by side, basking in the sunlight. Their relaxed smiles as they look at each other hint at a special bond formed at the crossroads of youth—a time when one often feels like running away. The caption, “I met a teacher who teaches possibilities instead of just the right answers,” hints at the change their relationship will bring, heightening anticipation. The film portrays the radiant moments shared between Hee Joo, a teacher who reaches out to her students’ hearts first, and Soon Jung, a high schooler who finds such a teacher unfamiliar and annoying, as they come to understand each other’s sincerity. Soon Jung harbors a clumsy yet heartfelt dream of leaving for Africa after graduation, and Hee Joo becomes a new milestone in her life. Their story is expected to deliver both heartfelt emotion and comforting warmth to viewers. “18 Youth” will hit theaters on March 25. While waiting, watch Jun So Min in “2037”:
