Cinerama 'Chilling Rommate' is a horror romantic comedy cinedrama about what happens when Jeong Se-ri, who can see ghosts, and Song Ji-chan (Jung Chan-woo), who accidentally turns into a ghost, accidentally start living together. It will be a point to watch the two main characters gradually open their hearts to each other and see how they change.

Kim So Jeong takes on the role of Jeong Se-ri, a part-time cafe student who has the ability to see ghosts due to a special incident. Jeong Se-ri is a person who lives a difficult life as much as she has special abilities, but does not lose her bright side.

As Kim So-jung is her first acting debut in 'Chilling Rommate', she has a special affection for her work and character, and is working hard to prepare for filming. In particular, it is rumored that she was completely immersed in the role of Jeong Se-ri in the recent script reading scene. Kim So-jung, who has a colorful charm and atmosphere, is gathering much anticipation as she announces her first full-fledged acting as an actress.

'Chilling Rommate' will be released as a drama version on various OTT platforms and YouTube channels after the theatrical release in the first half of 2022.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
