Chae Jong Hyeop Dishes On "In Your Radiant Season" And Working With Lee Sung Kyung
In a recent interview and pictorial for Elle Korea magazine, Chae Jong Hyeop opened up about his new drama “In Your Radiant Season”! MBC’s “In Your Radiant Season” is a new romance drama about the love story between Sunwoo Chan (Chae Jong Hyeop), a man who lives each day like an exciting summer vacation, and Song Ha Ran (Lee Sung Kyung), a woman who has closed herself off as through trapped in a long winter. Chae Jong Hyeop described his character in the drama by saying, “He’s an honest person. Although he harbors secrets and wounds that he can’t tell others, he wants to speak honestly about them without hiding them, so he perseveres however he can.” “He’s a kindhearted guy who thinks that if he’s hurting, others are probably hurting too, so he gladly helps other people,” continued the actor. When asked if he personally related to any aspects of Sunwoo Chan’s pain or experiences, Chae Jong Hyeop replied, “I did. Perhaps it’s because I took the logline ‘What season of your life are you in right now?’ as a question being asked to oneself, but I was reminded a lot of the time I spent studying abroad.” As for his experience working with Lee Sung Kyung, Chae Jong Hyeop enthused, “Because she’s so talented, she’s overflowing with energy on set, and she makes the atmosphere bright and cheerful.” He went on to add, “I’m gaining a lot of energy from Sung Kyung and learning a lot from her while filming.” When asked about the most meaningful moment of his life up until now, Chae Jong Hyeop shared that it was “when I first discovered something I ‘wanted to do.’” He explained, “It wasn’t planned, but I was lucky enough to wind up doing some modeling work in South Africa. That was the first thing I felt that I wanted to do, and that was when my world went from monochrome to color.” In response to a question about how he comforts himself emotionally, Chae Jong Hyeop replied, “When I suddenly depart for a new environment and immerse myself in the customs and lifestyle of the people living there, all troublesome thoughts and worries disappear, and I’m simply fascinated.” Finally, when asked what season of his life he thinks he’s in right now, Chae Jong Hyeop answered, “Right now, I’m back in winter. Because I’m working hard to prepare for a better season without getting overly excited, I’m looking forward to the future as if I’ve returned to winter again. No matter what path I walk in the future, I want to start out with the emotions I felt during my debut.”
PD Na Young Suk Announces “Youth Over Flowers: Limited Edition” With Park Seo Joon, Jung Yu Mi, And Choi Woo Shik
Park Seo Joon, Jung Yu Mi, and Choi Woo Shik‘s upcoming variety show with PD (producing director) Na Young Suk is a surprise edition of “Youth Over Flowers”! On February 24, PD Na Young Suk hosted a YouTube live stream with Jung Yu Mi, Park Seo Joon, and Choi Woo Shik to celebrate writer Kim Dae Joo’s 20th debut anniversary. During the broadcast, PD Na Young Suk revealed, “We’re actually having a meeting today for the new program. You don’t know what show we’re doing yet, right?” with Park Seo Joon and Jung Yu Mi confirming that they had no idea. He then turned to viewers for suggestions, saying, “Should we discuss what kind of show would suit the three of you? If you have any ideas, let us know.” Comments quickly poured in, prompting Na Young Suk to laugh and say, “This really feels like public opinion. I didn’t say anything, but people are saying the three of you should go on a domestic trip right now with a 100,000 won (approximately $70) allowance per person. It’s like someone planned this in advance.” He then tore down the banner behind them to reveal another hidden banner that read, “We support Jung Yu Mi, Park Seo Joon, and Choi Woo Shik’s trip. Wishing you a safe departure and safe return,” officially announcing the program title: “Youth Over Flowers: Limited Edition.” The three actors were visibly flustered as Na Young Suk explained, “Once this live ends, you’ll have to leave immediately. When you return to Seoul on Monday, we’ll hold another live stream to report back to viewers that you returned safely.” He added that the “Limited Edition” concept will include several restrictions, including a 100,000 won travel allowance per person, a domestic destination, and additional limitations yet to be revealed. Are you excited for “Youth Over Flowers: Limited Edition”? Stay tuned for updates!

Han Ji Min Dishes On Her Character In Upcoming Drama “The Practical Guide To Love”
Han Ji Min has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “The Practical Guide to Love”! “The Practical Guide to Love” tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to pursue love. When she meets Song Tae Seop (Park Sung Hoon) and Shin Ji Su (Lee Ki Taek), two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them—prompting a journey to discover what true love really means. On why she chose to star in the drama, Han Ji Min shared, “I was drawn to the script because it portrays realistic stories and concerns about love that we often see around us, especially for people at a marriageable age.” She added, “Lee Ui Yeong’s greatest and most appealing trait is her honesty. Whether she is working, interacting with friends, meeting a blind date, or struggling with love, she never loses that honesty,” expressing her affection for the character. While Lee Ui Yeong thrives at work thanks to her competence and the trust of her colleagues, she has been stuck in a rut when it comes to dating. Han Ji Min explained, “Lee Ui Yeong feels like an ordinary person anyone could think of among their acquaintances. I personally thought of one or two friends like her as well.” She continued, “Focusing solely on work and then one day finding yourself thinking seriously about marriage feels like a natural life flow that many people go through. Lee Ui Yeong isn’t a flashy or extraordinary character—she feels more like a friend who could be right beside you, which makes her all the more appealing.” Han Ji Min also revealed that she resonated with Lee Ui Yeong’s relationship with her mother, Park Jung Im (Kim Jung Young). She shared that the character’s close, almost friend-like relationship with her mother resembles her own real-life relationship. She commented, “In real life, I often travel with my mother and we’re like friends. It made me think that I want to become even closer and more affectionate with her in the future.” Lastly, Han Ji Min shared what viewers should focus on in the drama, saying, “I hope viewers can comfortably follow Lee Ui Yeong’s emotions. The show realistically portrays the feelings we experience during cycles of meeting and breaking up, as well as the excitement, worries, and anxieties we face before a new love.” She concluded, “If you were Lee Ui Yeong, which choice would you make between Song Tae Seop and Shin Ji Su? I hope viewers will think about it from Lee Ui Yeong’s perspective.”
