Hyun Bin’s Wife Son Ye-jin Shares How Nice It Was To Go On A Baseball Game Date With Hyun Bin Last Month APRIL 17, 2024 SBS STAR Actress Son Ye-jin mentioned how enjoyable it was to have a baseball game date with her husband actor Hyun Bin last month. On April 16, Son Ye-jin made an appearance at an event hosted by a cosmetic brand in Taiwan. At the event, she took time chatting with Taiwanese media, answering their questions with warmth. Son Ye-jin chuckled when asked about being hailed as a 'goddess', saying, "I'm just an average person. It feels a bit embarrassing hearing that." She went on, "Anyway, I'm grateful and happy that people see me that way. I believe that's all thanks to all those ads that made me look good. I can't say how long I'll keep up the goddess vibe, but I'll keep hitting the gym to stay healthy and age gracefully." Regarding her recent buzz-worthy date with Hyun Bin to the "MLB World Tour: Seoul Series 2024," Son Ye-jin shared, "It was a big game, and we were fortunate to receive an invitation from the organizers." With a smile, she added, "When my husband asked, 'Do you want to go together?' I haven't been to many baseball games, but the times I did go were really fun. So, I happily joined him. And it was nice." On this day, Son Ye-jin also opened up about the changes she has experienced since becoming a mother. The actress said, "Honestly, I barely have any 'me' time these days. Family time takes up most of my day now. Apart from my workout and self-care routines, the little time I do get is usually when my child is napping or asleep at night. Those moments are precious to me. I try to squeeze in some 'me' time then, whether it's catching up on TV shows, scrolling through my phone or simply taking a moment to relax." She resumed, "But since becoming a mom, I've found myself wanting to play the role of a nurturing mother even more."

*** On April 24, 2024, JTBC "Atypical Family" has released a brand new poster through Instagram. The drama is all set to release soon. The production team has released a special poster, showcasing the different characters and their unique stories. Moreover, there are a few major hints in the picture that I'm curious about the story. In the picture, the characters are shown to be inside the building, looking through the windows. Jang Ki Yong stands on the first window with a stoic expression, but his shadow showcases a version of him who is in emotional turmoil. In the other windows, some of his family members are seen, and their shadows represent the supernatural version of them. However, his little sister’s shadow remains mysterious, which indicates that she might not have any powers or that they have not been discovered yet. But the main question revolves around the character whose identity is still being hidden. The character could be the villain or a savior; only time will tell. The story is fresh and unique, to begin with. Scheduled for a total of 12 episodes, the show is set to release on May 4, 2024, every Saturday and Sunday. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6H5IsBLOU6/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=aa9595ca-f8de-4d49-ae1d-7f1e5dfc8ea7

@Magician thanks for sharing this. To fulfill his national defense duties, Kim Soo Hyun was spotted again in military uniform and joined those reservists for training. He mentioned this to his supporters through Bubble. He introduced himself as Army Sergeant Kim, and shared that he "spent the day meeting 490 new people this morning." I remember during the drama's press conference, Kim Soo Hyun admitted that he has mixed feelings regarding his new role in the drama. He said the time that he was so excited and nervous at the same time that he even ended up "stuttering" in front of Kim Ji Won during the filming.

What Are the Benefits of Super Vidalista for Overall Sexual Health? Super Vidalista, offered by Snowmeds, presents a promising solution for enhancing overall sexual health. It combines two active ingredients, Tadalafil and Dapoxetine, to address erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) simultaneously, significantly improving sexual experiences. Tadalafil, one of the active ingredients, works by relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels, allowing increased blood flow to specific areas of the body, particularly the penis. This improved blood flow helps men achieve and maintain a firm erection during sexual activity.

Yeah, I have a little bit of experience about Korean people. There are many interesting places and foods.

*** As seen in the latest stills, Ji Sung looks polished and dapper in a police uniform as a high-ranking official. He's playing an interesting character in the series. I'm happy that I will get to see Ji Sung return to a drama as the upcoming series premieres on May 24 at 10 p.m. KST. I missed him............ it's been quite a while after "Adamas." It's a relief that he has been active on social media.

Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won Share Their Most Memorable Moments From ‘Queen of Tears’ Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won revealed their favorite scenes from Queen of Tears as the show continues its reign as the must-watch weekend drama. Kim Soo Hyun recalled the scene where Baek Hyun Woo confronts Hong Hae In in Germany. He particularly chose the line, “You know everything now,” in Episode 7. In the show, Baek Hyun Woo desperately searches for a cure for Hong Hae In’s illness. However, everything falls apart when Hong Hae In finds out Baek Hyun Woo had been secretly planning a divorce. Determined to get her fighting spirit back, Baek Hyun Woo pretends to be a jerk, hoping to provoke Hong Hae In into finding her inner strength. Though facing the Queens Group’s anger for hurting her, his unwavering love for his wife shined through. Kim Ji Won shared that she loved all the scenes filmed in Germany. “The filming in Germany is the most memorable for me. The scenery was just gorgeous and new.” The drama’s German filming captured Baek Hyun Woo and Hong Hae In’s honeymoon, their first as a married couple. This allowed for numerous scenes where the two openly expressed their affection for each other. Even with Hong Hae In’s illness hanging over them, their trip to Germany for treatment was filled with precious moments. Kim Ji Won explained, “Filming the scenes where Hae In was happy and pain-free with Hyun Woo was especially memorable.” In the 14th episode, the two face an unexpected incident after surgery in Germany. Will they find their way back to each other and rediscover happiness? Only time will tell. source : https://enews.imbc.com/News/RetrieveNewsInfo/415801

Son Ye-jin shows off live! Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin like to use one thing while their children are sleeping, "watching dramas + scrolling on their mobile phones" APRIL 16, 2024 19:55PM TVBS ENT TAIWAN Sun Yizhen attended the launch conference of Taiwan's beauty drinks this afternoon. ( Photo/Photo by Huang Chengshuo) South Korean actress Son Ye-jin came to Taiwan this afternoon (16) to attend the launch of beauty drinks, which was also her first visit to Treasure Island in 25 years since her debut. In addition to wanting to eat Xiaolongbao, she also revealed a lot of her married life. Unexpectedly, there is an extra member in the family now, and there is almost no "ME TIME". She can only take the time when the child sleeps to watch the drama. The troubles seem to be the same as that of ordinary mothers. Son Ye-jin said at the beginning, "This is my first visit to Taiwan. I'm really excited and throbbing! On the way to this place (the venue) after getting off the plane, I think the street scene is very similar to that of Seoul, and there is a sense of closeness. Today, what I am most looking forward to is to eat Xiaolongbao tonight!" Son Ye-jin gave birth to a son in November 2022 and did not return to the public until July 2023. However, when it comes to the change of her identity, she said frankly, "I have almost no time for myself now. Because I have formed a new family, I spend almost all my time with my family. In addition to the skin care time, I can only grasp the children's sleep and nap, which is very important for me to have my own time. Son Ye-jin also shared that she actually uses these trivial times to watch TV series that she usually doesn’t have time to watch, scroll on her phone or meditate. As for how to take care of her skin, she shared that the most important things are to wash your face and exercise. However, during the conversation, the host KEN was trying too hard to look at the goddess in front of her, so Son Ye-jin couldn't help but exclaim: "You look at me so carefully, it makes me feel a little burdened!" She couldn't help but laugh. She also talked about that she will definitely share the things she likes with everyone around her, including her family. As for whether her husband Hyun Bin also uses the beauty drinks at hand, she also admitted: "Yes!"

Visit the filming location of ‘Crash Landing on You’ and eat Korean chicken 2024.04.21 [ASIA ECONOMY] A Korean tour package that includes a tour of the filming location of the drama 'Crash Landing on You' (Pocheon Hantan River Sky Bridge) and a taste of Korean chicken is being launched. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 21st that they will support the development and promotion of seven types of tourism products for visiting Korea . These include ‘Meeting Korean Wave Content with Fascinating History and Culture’, ‘K- Dance: Tonight’s Main Character Is Me’, ‘Marry My Husband Drama Tour’, and ‘A Day in Pyeongchang with Samyang’. It is a package tour planned jointly by a domestic travel agency and a K- content company. We guide you to K- pop and K-drama attractions and provide special experience opportunities. This is a result that reflects the high interest in K- content. According to a survey of foreign tourists in the fourth quarter of last year, the biggest reason foreigners became interested in visiting Korea was 'after encountering Korean Wave content ( 31.9%).' However, many foreign visitors have had difficulty visiting K- content filming locations. Travel agencies were also unable to use Korean Wave stars or works due to content intellectual property ( IP ) issues. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has provided opportunities for cooperation, such as joint product development, through a contest. We encouraged the conclusion of business agreements between companies and supported initial costs for smooth IP use negotiations. It will also support a portion of future IP costs, product planning costs, and promotional costs. In order to quickly establish itself, various marketing projects are being carried out in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Park Jong-taek, Director of Tourism Policy at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said, “We will pursue this as a pilot project by reflecting the voices of the tourism industry,” and added, “We expect it to be a catalyst for developing new winter products.”

*** I can't tell much from the 1st teaser of "Wonderland" since they're all holding their mobile phones, so it looks like a mobile phone ad. - hahaha - Actually, the first time I saw the video, I thought it was a new CF of Bogum. It doesn't seem very grabbing for a movie teaser. Well, I'm here for Park Bogum and Choi Woo Shik waiting for this movie. I hope it would be an interesting story because this movie has been delayed for years since its intended release.

*** Soon........ it's the time of Park Bogum to make his grand return on the Netflix produced K-movie "Wonderland". I can't tell much from the 1st teaser since they're all holding their mobile phones, so it looks like a mobile phone ad. - hahaha - Actually, the first time I saw the video, I thought it was a new CF of Bogum. It doesn't seem very grabbing for a movie teaser. Well, I'm here for Park Bogum and Choi Woo Shik waiting for this movie. I hope it would be an interesting story because this movie has been delayed for years since its intended release. Missing Bogum so much on the screen. I'm rooting for his success with the lining-up comeback projects he will have.

'Queen of Tears' spikes viewership with character-focus, short clips, comic flair By KTimes The hit drama "Queen of Tears" achieved a peak viewership rating of 21.6 percent on April 21, securing its position as tvN's second-highest-rated drama, trailing narrowly behind "Crash Landing on You" at 21.7 percent in 2020. With just two episodes remaining, it is on the brink of potentially eclipsing this record and could rival JTBC's "SKY Castle," which holds a record viewership of 23.7 percent in 2019. The comic melodrama has enthralled audiences with its unique character development as the male lead, Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun), is dubbed the "heartbreak prince." Unlike typical fairy-tale princes who simply add a touch of fantasy, Hyun-woo brings depth to his role. A brilliant lawyer, he engages himself in domestic life at his in-laws' home, frequently seen cooking in the kitchen during the family's ancestral rites. Although he initially confesses that he desires a divorce, Hyun-woo is ready to fight for his wife, Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won), breaking car windows with his bare fists to save her, if necessary. "Baek Hyun-woo is a subordinate character who can still be relied upon, and though he is in a weaker position, he remains steadfast," says Park Jin-kyu, a novelist and drama critic. "This nuanced variation of the typical wealthy man in romance dramas has maximized his appeal, making him a character that is both pitiable and thrilling to viewers." Short-form content strategy Despite its incredible success, "Queen of Tears" has faced criticism for its lapses in story continuity and verisimilitude. The tale, filled with coincidences, tells of Hyun-woo, who unknowingly saves Hae-in from drowning during their childhoods. The two later reunite in high school and eventually marry after recognizing each other as adults. Critics argue that this diminishes the story's plausibility. However, the drama's popularity may be linked to the current trend of short-form content. In an era where platforms like TikTok force audiences to consume quick, impactful videos, viewers have become more invested in characters rather than narratives. This shift toward character-driven, episodic storytelling aligns with the preferences of younger audiences who are accustomed to engaging in content that pops like kernels — often referred to as popcorn brain. "The way 'Queen of Tears' highlights its characters mirrors the punchy, hit-and-run strategy of short-form content, says Yun Seok-jin, a professor of Korean literature at Chungnam National University. "In the age of short-form, consumers show more interest in character-focused episodes than in a centralized, message-driven narrative structure, and this trend is evidently contributing to the drama's success." This trend is evident in the viewer demographics of "Queen of Tears." Interestingly, the drama scores a higher viewership rating among teenage boys (5.3 percent as of the April 14 broadcast) than in their twenties (4.3 percent) and thirties (4.9 percent). Given that older demographics typically dominate weekend drama ratings and teens are more engaged with YouTube, these figures are unconventional. Pop culture critic Kim Heon-sik interprets this as a targeted success, "Character-centric drama direction that can generate memes and clips has hit the preferences of teenage viewers precisely." As new generations emerge, the style of drama productions is evolving. "When monitoring real-time viewership ratings, it's noticeable that the ratings dip significantly when the focus shifts away from the main characters," a veteran drama writer said on condition of anonymity. "The attention span of viewers is becoming so short that in youth-centric trendy dramas, the narrative is heavily concentrated on the protagonists, and the editing is now styled more like YouTube content." Unique supporting characters and comic elements The supporting characters are as uniquely crafted as the leads. Yeong-song (played by Kim Young-min), who lives in Yongdu-ri picking berries and caring for his cognitively declining mother, invites Hong Hae-in's aunt Beom-ja (played by Kim Jeong-nan) to his home and engages in flirting over tea and madeleine treats. The image of a bachelor from the countryside serving madeleines as snacks adds a quirky touch. The drama's cliched storyline about "a husband's love for his terminally ill wife" diverges into unexpected territories through the distinctive characters. The creation of such vibrant characters is a specialty of Park Ji-eun, the writer behind "Queen of Tears." Known for her imaginative characters like the scholarly alien (Do Min-joon) in "My Love from the Star" and the quirky mermaid (Shim Cheong) in "The Legend of the Blue Sea," Park brings her experience as a variety show writer to fashion "Queen of Tears" like a show. She orchestrates scenes reminiscent of the real-life wedding venue of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who starred as a couple in her previous drama "Crash Landing on You" (2019-2020), and keeps the audience engaged with witty dialogue such as "Loyalty is like a coffee coupon. You don't know someone is a regular until all ten stamps are filled." The peak of KBS's comedy show, "Gag Concert," was helmed by producer Seo Soo-min, who contributed to the planning of "Queen of Tears." Park and Seo previously collaborated on the KBS drama "Producer" (2015). Their reunion in "Queen of Tears" demonstrates the synergy of character-driven storytelling, once again proving successful in engaging viewers. credit : Korea Times https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2024/04/398_373311.html
