The chemistry between Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho is raising expectations for 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha'.

Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho of tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha' (directed by Yoo Je-won, written by Shin Ha-eun, produced by Studio Dragon/GTist) frankly reveals their charms about each other's characters and their thoughts on couple chemistry, drawing attention. The news that the two of them will be acting together elicited a reaction that it is the most romantic meeting, making many drama fans flutter. Since then, the two-shot of Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho for each content released such as posters, teaser videos and general notices not only foretells a perfect chemistry, but also maximizes the charm of each character, stimulating the curiosity of prospective viewers infinitely. Shin Min-ah takes on the role of Hye-jin, a city woman who lacks nothing in beauty or specs in the play. Kim Seon-ho plays Du-sik, a man from a sea village who has no official job, but is an all-around man who knows nothing he can't do and who works as a village chief. The two people, who are polarized in their lifestyles, growl and quarrel when they meet each other, but at some point they will gradually seep into each other and start to flirt. Their relationship has a heart-fluttering thrill, and it has to be accompanied by tiki-taka chemistry that will keep the romantic tension strong, so expectations and interest in Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho, who are working together for the first time in this drama, are at their peak.

In this regard, Shin Min-ah and Kim Seon-ho draw attention by honestly revealing what each other's character charms are. First, Shin Min-ah said, "'Doo-sik' is a warm and charming character who knows how to enjoy his life. I think Doosik's friendly and free appearance will approach viewers with a pleasant feeling." Next, Kim Seon-ho said, "I think that Shin Min-ah's portrayal of the character 'Hye-jin' is a big attraction in itself. Hyejin seems to be a character that naturally oozes 'loveliness' anytime, anywhere. I think the viewers will feel happy and happy together throughout the whole time watching it.” As the two actors looked at each other's characters in a friendly and loving way, it is even more curious whether their hearts were melted and expressed in the play.

On the other hand, the sensible responses of the two people about the chemistry between Hyejin and Dooshik that they think each other are impressive. Shin Min-ah said, "The chemistry between Hye-jin and Doo-shik is, in one word, 'four beats' chemistry. It fits so well. Even if it seems like they are always bickering, when difficult or difficult things happen, they get along better than anyone else. Shin Min-ah's sense of expressing the chemistry between Hye-jin and Du-shik as 'four beats' in connection with the title of this drama, 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha', was an outstanding answer.

Kim Seon-ho described the chemistry between Hye-jin and Doo-shik in one word, 'Sik-hye chemistry'. “Like the nickname ‘Sik-Hye Couple’, the chemistry between Hye-Jin and Doo-Sik is also similar to ‘Sik-Hye’. Just as I think of cool and sweet Sikhye on a hot summer day, the Sikhye couple often reminds me of you, and I want to give you a cool and sweet feeling.” At the end, he added, "Actually, I kept thinking of the nickname Sikhye couple, so I answered Sikhye Chemi."

'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha' will be broadcast for the first time on August 28 at 9 PM.

The upcoming SBS drama Love Scout, starring Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk, is already making headlines—but for all the wrong reasons.

Recent revelations about the show’s co-director, Ham Joon Ho, have sparked controversy. It was revealed that Ham Joon Ho had faced legal issues in 2020 for assault and defamation while intoxicated.

This incident led to disciplinary action within SBS and has raised questions about his involvement in the new project.

On January 13, the production team of Love Scout released an official apology, saying, "We deeply regret causing concern with unpleasant news related to PD Ham Joon Ho."

They confirmed the allegations, stating, "It is true that PD Ham Joon Ho was accused of assault and defamation while intoxicated in early 2020. However, he sincerely apologized to all victims, and the matter was resolved through forgiveness and mutual agreement."

They added, "He also received legal punishment for the incident. Additionally, reports about his prior criminal record from five years ago are unrelated to this case, as they involve a misdemeanor."

The team explained that Ham Joon Ho was suspended from his duties following the incident and spent three years reflecting on his actions before returning to directing. They added, "We kindly ask for viewers’ understanding."

The controversy began after online posts brought up the 2020 incident, sharing a news article from that time. The article described an SBS drama department employee, referred to as “A,” causing a disturbance in Hannam-dong, Seoul, while intoxicated. Police booked “A,” and due to their prior criminal record, an arrest warrant was requested but later denied.

It was later confirmed that “A” was PD Ham Joon Ho. After serving his suspension, he made his directorial comeback with the SBS drama Payback before taking on Love Scout.

Despite the production team's apology, the controversy has cast a shadow over the highly anticipated drama, leaving viewers wondering how it will impact the show’s reception.
