‘7 People’ special Kim So-yeon threatens Yoon Jong-hoon by saying, “Give me 50 billion won” → Eom Ki-jun reveals “I am Lee Hwi-so”

 

 

 

Actress Kim So-yeon made a cameo appearance in ‘Escape of the Seven’. Kim So-yeon, who played the role of an actress from Cherry Entertainment, left a strong impression with her presence and influence that went beyond her role. On the 21st, Kim So-yeon made a special appearance as Hong-joo on SBS’ ‘Escape of the Seven’ and threatened Jin-mo (played by Yoon Jong-hoon). Matthew (Eom Ki-jun) revealed his identity to his villains.

OK. I watched it. On screen was better than my first impression after reading the article. At least it was funny. I laughed at how crazy she was. Just like Seo Jin combined with Hong Joo. In the end she was chanting: Hurry up?! This Hong Joo is tough also. I almost thought she had super powers, that she is the eagle owl Hong Joo. The goddess Hong Joo became an actress in 2023? Now I wonder if using the same name was intentional.

 

Update: I read that Hong Joo said in the end: `You know that I'm not human right?`. Playing with words! It is official. Hong Joo became an actress!!!! A diva actress. It suits her.  That`s the best part about the cameo.

To steal the money from a mountain god! Poor guy!

 

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Kim So-yeon, of course a legend... Shined with a special appearance in ‘Escape of the Seven’

 

 

Kim So-yeon shined in ‘Escape of the Seven’. In the 10th episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama ‘Escape of the Seven’ (directed by Joo Dong-min, written by Kim Soon-ok, produced by Chorokbaem Media and Studio S), which aired yesterday (21st), actress Kim So-yeon made a special appearance, sparking an explosive response.

 

Kim So-yeon, who attracted a huge amount of attention just by the news of her special appearance, proved her overwhelming presence by playing the role of ‘Ryu Hong-joo’, the leading star of Cherry Entertainment, whose representative is Yang Jin-mo (played by Yoon Jong-hoon). Ryu Hong-joo, who appeared with flashy visuals and an unusual aura, found out that Jin-mo Yang had been deceiving his artists and stealing money by writing double contracts, and visited his office. She sent out a warning with her fierce eyes, pushing Yang Jin-mo even further into a corner, making a strong impact, further adding to the fun of her play.

 

Kim So-yeon is in the worldview of writer Kim Soon-ok, which continues from 'Penthouse', which created the all-time villain Seo-jin Cheon (played by So-yeon Kim), to 'Escape of the Seven', with Jong-hoon Yoon (played by Jin-mo Yang), who played the role of Ha Yun-cheol, her ex-husband in 'Penthouse'. They reunited and showed off their extraordinary chemistry, showing an irreplaceable performance with a passionate performance that properly captured the sweet and bloody charm of Ryu Hong-joo's character.

 

Kim So-yeon, who even changed her hairstyle for her special appearance, not only perfectly pulls off her hime cut with her beautiful beauty, but also smiles in a V pose for the camera while showing off her charisma by concentrating on filming. It even adds to her natural, lovely side, such as making clothes.

Accordingly, Kim So-yeon, who has heated up the home theater with just her special appearance, arousing admiration by saying, ‘As expected of Kim So-yeon,’ is paying more attention to what kind of work she will come up with in the future.

YES. I want to know what kind of work she will come up in the future. I hope she has some good offeres to choose.

 

 

A recap of her cameo:

 

 

On this day, Min Do-hyuk, who played the role of a quick delivery driver, visited a filming location. Min Do-hyuk, who visited actor Ryu Hong-joo (played by Kim So-yeon) there, handed her a bag and politely said, “I’m a fan,” before leaving.

 

 

Ryu Hong-ju opened the bag and found a bundle of documents. The documents revealed that Yang Jin-mo had so far unpaid about 30 billion won to the actors of her agency. Ryu Hong-joo's unpaid amount was approximately 5.032 billion won.

Ryu Hong-joo, who confirmed her enormous number, became angry and said, “Where is Yang Jin-moi’s XX style?” Ryu Hong-joo, who followed Yang Jin-mo, said, "How hard has it been all this time? You had to trick our artists' eyes and ears to scam them for appearance fees. How much did you borrow through a double contract? Did you steal our money and use it to buy a building? You have 60 people in the best law firm. “I will hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit. Termination of the contract is natural,” he said, scattering the documents he received.

 

Yang Jin-mo insisted that it was a misunderstanding, but Ryu Hong-ju said, "What is the misunderstanding? The amount of money that has not been settled so far is as much as 30 billion. My money alone is 5 billion. Spew out my money right away. Otherwise, you will be in jail. Buried forever." He grabbed Yang Jin-mo by the collar and said, "You know I'm the crazy guy in this district, right? From now on, I'm no longer a human being. What are you doing? I should light my RickRoll'D and run to make money." Ryu Hong-ju, who was leaving Yang Jin-mo's office while telling him to hurry, left a comment: "You should at least sell that vineyard." This caused a lot of laughter as the character of Ha Yun-cheol, played by Jong-hoon Yoon in 'Penthouse',  who was the son of a vineyard in the drama.

So Yeon left a message in SsoFam on October 27.

 

 

How is everyone? 

I'm doing very well 

Ta-da! I originally wanted to tell you good news. But it is currently being delayed for many different reasons.

I'm so sorry

Seo Jin Hong Joo appeared on air not long ago

Thank you everyone for liking

It's nice to meet the Penthouse team again that I always support...

It felt a bit empty when filming the last scene. Meeting Hong Joo left me lingering...

It's a scene that I kind of like

Ah! The vineyard thing

hehehe Originally, I finished saying 'Hurry up!'

I'm going out It's PD Joo Dong Min  who gave me favors

He said he wanted to film one more scene before going out. Therefore, random lines of dialogue quickly appeared in my head

Thank you so much that everyone liked it

(It's an ad-lib that everyone at the scene thought of together 

This beautiful autumn! Everyone, please be happy!

She wanted to tell us good news but it was delayed for many different reason? OMG! It is a new project? WOW, that`s must be. I really hope it will be materialised. I am eagerly waiting for the good news. Please, please, Drama God!

And the last line from So yeon`s cameo was an ad lib from her? Nice. She did really well. The line fits with the situation and it was a line that linked it with Penthouse. Good job, So yeon!

I can`t move on. What drama could be? What genre?  It can`t be  Tale of the Nine Tailed 3 because it is too early to produce it , I think. But it could be the 3rd season of TOTNT3 or other drama that is in the early stages of production and it is being delayed. What else? Is it a drama that they have announced it before or a new one? I want to know. I really hope it is a good project.

 

I could see how TOTNT3 would be delayed. Lee Dong Wook has another drama to film before that. And I heard he doesn`t want to do another season. (source) There are so many other dramas that announce the production but no news about them. Others were not even produced even after many years. I hope everything is alright. I prefer to hear the news when it is a done deal. Fighting!

Kim So Yeon turns 43: A look back at her iconic role as Cheon Seo Jin in Penthouse: War In Life

Kim So Yeon is known for her acting prowess in multiple K-dramas, but the one that stands out the most is her as Cheon Seo Jin in Penthouse: War In Life. Let’s take a look at her iconic character.

Written by Pratyusha Dash Published on Nov 02, 2023   |  11:01 AM IST  |  13K

 

 

Kim So Yeon, the popular South Korean actress, has solidified her presence in the entertainment industry through a diverse range of roles. Among her many performances, one particularly memorable portrayal is that of Cheon Seo Jin. In a story filled with villains, her portrayal stands out as a remarkable one.

 

Despite taking up the role of an antagonist, Kim So Yeon's portrayal is executed with finesse, making her a beloved character among fans. She brings to life a well-crafted, powerful female character on the show. Cheon Seo Jin is characterized by her independence, fearlessness, and unwavering resolve to confront not only the challenges of the world but also her male counterparts, Joo Dan Tae (played by Um Ki Joon) and Ha Yoon Chul (played by Yoon Jong Hoon), when things get ugly. As Kim So Yeon turns 43, let's reflect on the iconic character of Cheon Seo Jin that has left a lasting impact on viewers.

 

The Penthouse: War in Life unfolds the lives of Hera Palace's rich and prestigious residents. Hidden secrets come to light, and interpersonal bonds shatter within the confines of this towering 100-story edifice following a mysterious death. The story spans onto three seasons and has given us some iconic negative characters such as Joo Dan Tae, Oh Yoon Hee, Joo Seok Kyung, Shin Su Ryeon, Ha Yoon Chul, Ha Eun Byeol, Bae Rona and Cheon Seo Jin. One great thing that the show withholds is the powerful female cast as both the protagonist and the antagonist. Ofcourse, the male cast have done their part perfectly but the true power of the story has been held together by the women cast of the show.

Cheon Seo Jin is one such powerful antagonist. A fearless villain from the start, she is the pioneer of the show, her character leading the storyline. She is a famous soprano and also serves as the Head of the Arts Department at Cheong-A High School. Seo Jin is a glamorous and affluent woman who nurtures twisted aspirations and is willing to go to great lengths to attain power, wealth, and uphold her pride. Notably, she is Ha Eun Byul's mother and was formerly married to Ha Yoon Cheol.

She is powerful, strong and isn’t afraid to go after what she wants even if things take a darker turn. From the very beginning, she has an extramarital affair with Shim Su Ryun’s husband, Joo Dan Tae. Astonishingly, her life was both fueled and ultimately consumed by love. In the first season, as she acknowledges her feelings for Joo Dan Tae, she decides to end her marriage to Ha Yoon Cheol and opts to be with Joo Dan Tae, largely due to the fact the latter has  greater wealth and influence compared to her former husband.

 

However, in the second season, while grappling with the challenges of her declining singing voice, problems with her daughter Ha Eun Byul and a new marriage, she comes to the realization that her true love lies with Ha Yoon Cheol. Despite this, she proceeds with her marriage to Joo Dan Tae, believing that certain sacrifices are necessary to absolve her past actions and atone for her sins.

Her biggest rival on the show is Oh Yoon Hee, who was her schoolmate and her competition as an opera singer. To win the top prize in her school, she stabs Oh Yoon Hee, who deserved the award and pretends to be the one hurt. Given Seo Jin’s powers and connections, people believed her over Yoon Hee’s words, causing Yoon Hee to be unable to get treated, hence losing her voice. This led to a long-standing rivalry between the two.

In the later part of the series (season 2) Seo Jin's hatred toward Oh Yoon Hee grows much deeper upon Yoon Hee's re-entry into Hera Palace. It isn't just because Yoon Hee marries Ha Yoon Cheol, but also because their loving relationship and marriage serves as a constant reminder to Seo Jin of her selfish decisions and the happiness she could have had with him. 

Seo Jin's sole redeeming quality can be found in her love for her daughter, Ha Eun Byeol, though it carries a somewhat distorted reflection of her own past. During her youth, she had faced an intense pressure from her father to surpass Oh Yoon Hee, who was evidently better than her. Now, as an adult and a parent, Seo Jin continues this cycle by pushing Eun Byeol to outshine Oh Yoon Hee's daughter, Bae Rona, leading Eun Byeol to develop an imposter syndrome.

Nonetheless, it's clear that Seo Jin truly does love and care for her daughter. As Eun Byeol would later confess during Seo Jin's trial in Season 3, most of Seo Jin's wrongdoings stemmed from her anxiety about her daughter's future and her relentless drive to secure Eun Byeol's success as an opera singer.

 

Despite being a villain, Kim So Yeon has won hearts of fans globally with her portrayal of Cheon Seo Jin. She might have done things that are evil, but many do understand where she is coming from. Given her love for her daughter as she tries to redeem herself while getting back with Ha Yoon Chul, gave fans a new perspective into the character. 

Seo Jin is the synonym for pride and arrogance. Born into wealth and having lived her entire life in the limelight as a beloved soprano singer, she lives under the belief that the world revolves around her and is willing to go to great lengths to ensure it stays that way. In her perspective, her own success takes the top spot, and she displays little to no hesitation in resorting to crimes and immoral actions to attain her desires. It's these very traits that make her a character fans love to hate.

Cheon Seo Jin stands out as the one of the best character in the series because of her genuine, direct nature, and the impactful moments she brings to the show. Most of the show’s most noteworthy moments are surrounding her, and Kim So Yeon’s talented acting adds to the brilliance of the character. While she possesses ambition, she is not immune to life's setbacks and has to face the consequences of her choices. Viewers of the drama experience a rollercoaster of emotions, at times disapproving of her harsh actions, and at other times, feeling a deep sense of empathy as they witness the ups and downs of Cheon Seo Jin's life.
