              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>The upcoming music audition program “The Scout” has unveiled its star-studded lineup of masters along with its first teaser!</p>

<p>On April 17, ENA announced its new music project “The Scout: Stars Reborn,” revealing Lee Seung Chul, Kim Jae Joong, Red Velvet’s Wendy, DAY6’s Young K, and Choo Sung Hoon as the show’s masters.</p>

<p>“The Scout” is a growth-focused music project in which top industry experts personally discover “hidden gems”—artists who have already debuted but have yet to fully showcase their potential—and guide them toward new opportunities.</p>

<p>Alongside the announcement, the show released its official poster and teaser video.</p>

<p>In the poster, the masters come together with a commanding presence, their forward-facing gazes reflecting their mission to uncover undiscovered talent. Lee Seung Chul stands at the center, anchoring the lineup with his signature charisma, while Young K and Choo Sung Hoon add a steady intensity with their arms crossed. With Kim Jae Joong and Wendy rounding out the team, the lineup highlights a wide range of musical backgrounds.</p>

<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1833923" src="/api/proxy/hash-image?hash=b5dd431db574f600" alt="" width="1024" height="1448" srcset="https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/17045425/the-scout-poster-1.jpeg 1448w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/17045425/the-scout-poster-1.jpeg 300w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/17045425/the-scout-poster-1.jpeg 768w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/17045425/the-scout-poster-1.jpeg 540w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/17045425/the-scout-poster-1.jpeg 1086w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></p>

<p>The teaser underscores the concept of “stars being reborn,” carrying the message, “A story of rising stars created by established stars.” In the clip, Lee Seung Chul explains, “There are many people who debuted but weren’t able to find success and became discouraged. The goal is to bring them back and ‘reboot’ them through music.”</p>

<p>The video also introduces 16 contestants selected through closed auditions. After Lee Seung Chul announces, “Congratulations on becoming the muses of ‘The Scout,’” Kim Jae Joong, Wendy, Young K, and Choo Sung Hoon appear one by one, signaling the start of the journey.</p>

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>Lim Soo Jung is preparing for her revenge in “Mad Concrete Dreams.”</p>

<p>“Mad Concrete Dreams” is a thriller drama starring Ha Jung Woo as Ki Su Jong, a struggling landlord who gets caught up in crime to protect his family and property. Despite achieving the coveted status of a landlord, mounting debts lead him to become entangled in a staged kidnapping. However, the plan spirals out of control as the fake kidnapping turns dangerously real.</p>
<h2>Spoilers</h2>
<p>In the upcoming episode, Kim Seon (Lim Soo Jung) begins to uncover the truth behind the death of her brother Kim Gyun (Kim Nam Gil), who died early in the series following a mysterious car accident.</p>

<p>Kim Seon begins to harbor lingering doubts about the circumstances surrounding her brother’s death. Previously, she obtained Kim Gyun’s USB from Real Capital, the office of Yo Na (Shim Eun Kyung), and questioned why it was there in the first place.

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>“Phantom Lawyer” has unveiled new stills ahead of its new episode!</p>

<p>“Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law.</p>
<h2>Spoilers</h2>
<p>In the upcoming episode, Shin I Rang and his team finally unite in full force to take on the inheritance case of master shoemaker Kang Dong Sik (Lee Deok Hwa), who is on the verge of losing in court. Newly released stills show Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun—now fully in sync and operating as a perfect team—exuding a commanding presence. Their determined gazes reflect their resolve to uncover the hidden truth of the deceased and bring it to light. Adding to their strength is Shin I Rang’s brother-in-law Yoon Bong Soo (Jeon Seok Ho), further reinforcing the team.</p>

<p>Yoon Bong Soo’s addition brings a mix of humor and poignancy. In a pre-release clip, he ends up losing his minor acting role due to a phone call from his brother-in-law Shin I Rang interrupting filming, which ultimately leads him to join the Okcheon Building team as a key helper.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, anticipation is also building over how Kang Dong Sik himself—now deceased—will contribute to the case. So far, Shin I Rang’s ghost clients have provided crucial clues that only the dead could know, helping him secure victories in court.</p>

<p>However, the truth they must uncover is far from simple. As Taebaek presses its case by arguing that Kang Dong Sik’s will was fabricated based on scientific data, the team must instead rely on the memories and sincerity of the deceased—things that cannot be proven by numbers alone. Adding to the tension, a shocking possibility emerges in the preview: Ryu Seon Hwa, a co-founder believed to be dead, may actually still be alive. With the stakes higher than ever, what unexpected move will the team make to turn the tables in tonight’s episode?</p>

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>“Perfect Crown” has teased a fierce standoff between Byeon Woo Seok and Gong Seung Yeon.</p>

<p>Set in an alternate universe where modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy, “Perfect Crown” tells the love story of Seong Hui Ju (IU), a chaebol heiress who has everything but is only a commoner in status, and Grand Prince Ian (Byeon Woo Seok), a prince who has nothing despite being the son of the king.</p>
<h2>Spoilers</h2>
<p>Queen Dowager Yoon Irang (Gong Seung Yeon) has long viewed Grand Prince Ian as a potential threat to her own son and has kept him in check. In an attempt to weaken his position, she even ordered him to marry a woman of her choosing. However, her plans appear to unravel after a dating rumor involving Seong Hui Ju and Grand Prince Ian comes to light.</p>

<p>The newly released stills capture a tense confrontation between Seong Hui Ju, Grand Prince Ian, and Yoon Irang. Standing opposite the pair, Yoon Irang glares at them with fury. Despite her piercing gaze, Grand Prince Ian remains firm as he shields Seong Hui Ju.</p>

<p>Moments later, however, Seong Hui Ju appears to lose consciousness, prompting him to lift her into his arms—further heightening intrigue. With royal attendants looking on, attention is drawn to why Grand Prince Ian and Yoon Irang—two key pillars of the royal family—have come into direct conflict, and why Seong Hui Ju has entered the palace in her nightclothes.</p>

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>MBC’s upcoming drama “Fifties Professionals” has unveiled new stills of Oh Jung Se!</p>

<p>“Fifties Professionals” is an action-comedy about three seemingly ordinary but secretly dangerous middle-aged men who are brought back into action by destiny. The three men, who once reigned at the top of their respective fields, find themselves exiled to the remote island of Yeongseon after a mysterious incident. There, they begin a bittersweet and comedic quest to uncover the truth about the fateful day from 10 years ago that changed their lives.</p>

<p>Oh Jung Se stars as Bong Je Soon, an elite North Korean operative suffering from amnesia. In the past, Bong Je Soon was known as one of North Korea’s deadliest “human weapons,” excelling in taekkyeon (traditional Korean martial art) and undercover infiltration. While carrying out a mission to retrieve stolen classified documents and illicit funds, he falls into the sea and is eventually washed ashore on Yeongseon Island—far from any familiar ties.</p>

<p>The first stills of Bong Je Soon highlight a striking contrast between his past and present.</p>

<p>As the North Korean agent “Bulgae,” he commands attention with a cold, ruthless presence devoid of emotion. His restrained expressions and piercing, chilling gaze hint at the sheer tenacity and improbable luck that allowed him to survive even on the brink of death.</p>

<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1833861" src="/api/proxy/hash-image?hash=70448e41f2841c21" alt="" width="1024" height="1280" srcset="https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225523/Fifties-Professionals-3.jpeg 1080w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225523/Fifties-Professionals-3.jpeg 300w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225523/Fifties-Professionals-3.jpeg 768w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225523/Fifties-Professionals-3.jpeg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"> <img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1833862" src="/api/proxy/hash-image?hash=648b069ebfdeef78" alt="" width="1024" height="1280" srcset="https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225533/Fifties-Professionals-4.jpeg 1080w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225533/Fifties-Professionals-4.jpeg 300w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225533/Fifties-Professionals-4.jpeg 768w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16225533/Fifties-Professionals-4.jpeg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></p>

<p>In stark contrast, Bong Je Soon after losing his memory and settling on Yeongseon Island is a far cry from his former charismatic self. With a timid smile and slumped shoulders, he now handles mundane office chores—repairing broken copiers and polishing his boss’s car—adding a touch of humor to his transformed life.</p>

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>Chae Won Bin will face an impossible choice between Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Bum in SBS’s upcoming drama “Sold Out on You”!</p>

<p>“Sold Out on You” is a romantic comedy about the unexpected love story between Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo Seop), a perfectionist farmer juggling multiple jobs, and Dam Ye Jin (Chae Won Bin), a top home shopping show host who suffers from severe insomnia.</p>

<p>Ahn Hyo Seop will star as Matthew Lee, who is extremely prickly and meticulous when it comes to his work. In addition to being a farmer, he is also the CEO of a natural ingredient company and a cosmetics development researcher.&nbsp;</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1080" height="1080" src="/api/proxy/hash-image?hash=560cc9dd593d8ab2" alt="" class="wp-image-1833843" srcset="https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204753/Ahn-Hyo-Seop.jpeg 1080w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204753/Ahn-Hyo-Seop.jpeg 140w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204753/Ahn-Hyo-Seop.jpeg 300w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204753/Ahn-Hyo-Seop.jpeg 768w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204753/Ahn-Hyo-Seop.jpeg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px"></figure>

<p>Although Matthew Lee appears cold and blunt on the outside, he is hiding a surprisingly warm heart on the inside. Despite being busy with his work, the dependable Matthew Lee tirelessly runs around helping the residents of his quiet rural village with their problems. When Dam Ye Jin barges into his life like a bulldozer in a quest for his rare white mushrooms, his unexpected duality will catch her off guard.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1080" height="1080" src="/api/proxy/hash-image?hash=7cc272359f1aa540" alt="" class="wp-image-1833844" srcset="https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204802/Ahn-Hyo-Seop-2.jpeg 1080w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204802/Ahn-Hyo-Seop-2.jpeg 140w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204802/Ahn-Hyo-Seop-2.jpeg 300w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204802/Ahn-Hyo-Seop-2.jpeg 768w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204802/Ahn-Hyo-Seop-2.jpeg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px"></figure>

<p>Meanwhile, Kim Bum will play Seo Eric, an executive director at a global skincare brand. A caring and affectionate person who is honest about his emotions, Seo Eric will prove a formidable romantic rival for Matthew Lee. As a member of a chaebol family who is determined not to get caught up in a cutthroat succession battle, Seo Eric has always deliberately kept himself out of the running by living a leisurely life in order to avoid competing for the title of successor.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1080" height="1080" src="/api/proxy/hash-image?hash=2989cff171c58dcd" alt="" class="wp-image-1833845" srcset="https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204827/Kim-Bum.jpeg 1080w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204827/Kim-Bum.jpeg 140w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204827/Kim-Bum.jpeg 300w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204827/Kim-Bum.jpeg 768w, https://0.soompi.io/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/16204827/Kim-Bum.jpeg 540w" sizes="(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px"></figure>

<p>After falling for Dam Ye Jin during a chance encounter in Korea, Seo Eric unexpectedly runs into her again several years later because of work. When fate brings them back together, the charming Seo Eric sets out to win Dam Ye Jin over with his sunny smile, friendly demeanor, and bold flirting.</p>

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>“Absolute Value of Romance” has released new stills ahead of its premiere!</p>

<p>“Absolute Value of Romance” tells the story of high school student Yeo Eui Ju (Kim Hyang Gi), who secretly writes a BL novel featuring her handsome teachers as the main characters. However, when she winds up running into these teachers in real life at unexpected moments, her once-peaceful school life takes a turbulent turn.</p>

              <content:encoded><![CDATA[<html><head></head><body><p>SBS’s upcoming drama “My Royal Nemesis” has shared a sneak peek of Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Jun’s unforgettable first encounter!</p>

<p>“My Royal Nemesis” is a romantic comedy starring Lim Ji Yeon as Shin Seo Ri, a struggling actress who is suddenly possessed by the spirit of a notorious villainess from the Joseon era. Heo Nam Jun will star as Cha Se Gye, a ruthless chaebol heir who is known as a “monster created by capitalism.”</p>

<p>In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, sparks fly between Shin Seo Ri and Cha Se Gye when they meet for the first time. After these two “villains” cross paths, they wind up getting into a heated duel in the middle of the street with flowers as their weapons. As befits a legendary villainess, Shin Seo Ri strikes a battle-ready pose while glaring fiercely at Cha Se Gye, who pitifully holds up some wilting flowers as his last line of defense.</p>

              <description><![CDATA[Set in an alternate version of Korea ruled by a constitutional monarchy in the 21st century. The story follows Chaebol heiress Seong Hui Ju, who is frustrated by her 'commoner' status despite having everything, and melancholic Grand Prince Yi An, whose royal blood is his only identity and who has nothing despite being the son of the king. Seong Hui Ju, the second daughter of Korea’s wealthiest conglomerate, is blessed with striking beauty, brains, and a fierce competitive streak, yet she is limited by her status as a 'commoner'. She then chooses to enter a contract marriage with Grand Prince Yi An to gain the one thing she lacks — royal status. Meeting Yi An, a man who shares a similar predicament to hers but has made different life choices, marks a turning point in her life. Grand Prince is a title granted to another son of the king born to the queen consort in the Joseon Dynasty, signifying his royal lineage while placing him outside the direct line of succession to the throne. Prince Yi An, despite his royal blood, is unable to truly own anything and leads a life of sorrow. As the second son of the royal family, he has been forced to suppress his passionate desires and live in silence, but he is still regarded as the "most beloved royal" by the people due to his innate dignity and charm. Accustomed to hiding his true self, his life begins to change as he meets Seong Hui Ju, who resembles him in some ways but has made different choices, through their contract marriage.

But the sweetness of success doesn’t last forever. Her days soon turn dull and monotonous until a man named Sun Rok steps into her life.

              <description><![CDATA[A fifteen-year friendship that turns into love begins to crumble when Seo Yu Jun starts believing that Kang Yeon Ho’s devotion is not love, but pity. Seeing Yeon Ho’s seemingly perfect life, Yu Jun comes to think of himself as a flaw in it and decides that Yeon Ho would shine more without him. Proud and resolute, he chooses to break up, even if it means becoming the villain in Yeon Ho’s life. Yeon Ho, raised without fear or want, becomes powerless only in front of Yu Jun. When the love he gave with his whole being is rejected, his everyday life collapses. His love twists into an obsessive desire, where keeping Yu Jun by his side matters more than Yu Jun’s happiness or pain. Into this fracture steps Baek Hyeon Seo, a senior who appears gentle but exploits their suffering. He pushes Yu Jun to use him as a way to end the relationship, quietly taking advantage of Yeon Ho’s absence. Their intertwined emotions spiral into a tragic romance driven by guilt, obsession, and manipulation. (Source: MyDramaList)]]></description>
