Son Ye-jin says 'The Scandal' role may not be likable for everyone but still charming

Actor Son Ye-jin, who starred in the Netflix original Korean series "The Scandal," said Tuesday her role in the historical drama may not be appealing to everyone but was a charming yet complex character for her to work on. Son plays Lady Cho, an independent woman who tried to defy the conservative atmosphere of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), in the eight-part series inspired by the 1782 French novel "Dangerous Liaisons." In the drama, Lady Cho and Cho Won (Ji Chang-wook), her longtime friend and relative who has grown up to become a famous playboy, begin a dangerous game involving virtuous widow Hui-yeon (Nana), a move that unsettles the lives of all three. "I had to keep thinking what thoughts were passing through her mind, and I still cannot say I have found the answer. But because it was a difficult character, it felt attractive to me," Son told reporters in a group interview. Son said she felt Lady Cho was a complex character who had to give up many desires as she married her powerful husband at a time when women's status had its limits. While she appears to be leading an elegant an

ATEEZ's San dating rumors puts spotlight on unauthorized photos of K-pop stars

What began as a dating rumor involving ATEEZ's San has reignited concerns over the unauthorized photographing of K-pop stars, after images taken without permission spread online and fueled speculation about their private lives. San became the subject of dating rumors after photos showing him walking alongside a woman in Milan circulated on online communities on Saturday. His agency said the woman pictured with him was affiliated with a brand and that security personnel and managers were also present at the scene. San personally denied the dating rumors while expressing frustration over people following and secretly photographing him during his overseas trip. "I'm saying this because I don't want fans to worry," San said on a fan communication platform. "There are dating rumors going around, but they are absolutely not true." The ATEEZ member said he had been surprised to find people following him wherever he went despite being in Milan for scheduled activities. "It's nice when we happen to run into each other, but this isn't right," he said, criticizing the behavior of obsessive fans, comm

[COVER STORY] 'The Assassin(s)' producers face probe over depiction of Park Chung-hee plotting wife's death

Director Hur Jin-ho's historical thriller "The Assassin(s)" became the top draw over this year's Chuseok holiday, but the movie is facing a growing political dispute and defamation investigation over its depiction of the 1974 shooting that killed then-first lady Yuk Young-soo. The controversy has spilled into Korea's already deep ideological divide, with conservatives accusing the film of distorting history and liberals defending it as a work of fiction. The debate escalated and took a legal turn on Tuesday, when a former city councilor from the conservative main opposition People Power Party (PPP) filed a police complaint against the director and producers. The complaint accuses them of defamation by spreading false information through the film, claiming the movie distorted history by implying that then-President Park Chung-hee, who took power in 1961 through a military coup, was involved in his wife's assassination. The movie is based on the Aug. 15, 1974, shooting in which Mun Se-gwang, a North Korea-linked Korean resident of Japan, opened fire in an attempt to assassinate Park and fa

'100 Days of Deception' brings colonial-era espionage romance to life

A new period espionage drama combining the noble sacrifices of Korean independence fighters with a high-stakes romance is set to premiere as cable network tvN's flagship project celebrating its 20th anniversary. Set in 1932 Gyeongseong (a former name for Seoul) during the 1910-45 Japanese colonial era, "100 Days of Deception" follows the city’s top pickpocket, who infiltrates the Japanese Government-General of Korea as an undercover agent and crosses paths with an elite translator in the heart of enemy territory. The 16-episode series brings together director Yoo In-sik, best known for "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" (2022) and "Dr. Romantic" (2016), and writer Rhyu Bo-ri, known for "Do You Like Brahms?" (2020). The drama stars Kim You-jung as Lee Ga-kyung, a thief turned undercover translator, and Park Jin-young as Sato Hideo, an elite interpreter for the colonial government and the adopted son of its director-general of political affairs. Kim, returning to the small screen a year after "Dear X," said she was instantly drawn to the project upon reading the script. "I chose this drama bec
