Actor Jung Hae-in and BLACKPINK member Jisoo took pictures for the first time before the drama "Snowdrop" release.

Harper's Bazaar released a pictorial of Jung Hae-in and Ji-soo, who worked as a couple in JTBC's 'Snowdrop' on November 12th. In this pictorial, the two drew attention by digesting a variety of things from a friendly mood to a chic charm.

During the interview which took place after their photoshoot, Jung Hae In explained why he chose to star in 'Snowdrop'. He stated, "The biggest reason was the writing [of the script]. The strengths of words, the strenghs of the story, and my extreme trust in the writer and director influenced my decision."

Jisoo then revealed how she was able to focus on both her BLACKPINK activities while simultaneously filming 'Snowdrop'. She said, "The world that Young Ro and Jisoo live in are so different, so I didn't feel any confusion. Also, starting from the moment I arrived at the filming site, everyone treated me as if I were Young Ro, not Jisoo. Thus, I was able to concentrate completely and I am so thankful to the staff members." She then added, "My [BLACKPINK] members said they will definitely watch during broadcast times. The members are really curious [about my drama], so I got encouraged and worked really hard. I don't have the courage to watch the first broadcast with someone else though. I want to watch it alone at home, but I don't know how it will turn out. I think I can only watch it through the very small opening from my fingers that are covering my eyes."

Jisoo and Jung Hae In's photos will be included in the December issue of 'Harper's Bazaar' magazine.

Meanwhie, Snowdrop is known to be based on the handwritten notes of a man who escaped from a political prison camp in North Korea. In 1987, when tear gas exploded like firecrackers, a bloody man jumped into a female college dormitory and a female student treats him thinking he's an activist student fighting for the generation.

Writer Yoo Hyun-mi of the drama 'SKY Castle' and director Cho Hyun-tak once again collaborated, and not only Jung Hae-in X Ji-soo, but also Yoo In-na, Jang Seung-jo, Yoon Se-ah, Kim Hye-yoon, and Jung Yu-jin appear.

Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
