• Yoo Ah In's "Hellbound" Tops Netflix World Rankings In Just A Day After Release

    As soon as the Netflix series 'Hellbound' was released, it climbed to the top of the world rankings.

    As of November 20th, if you look at the Netflix world ranking TV show category, 'Hellbound' is running at the top with 630 points.

    The 'Squid Game', which caused a syndrome around the world, dropped to a level below when 'Hellbound' was released.

    As a result, 'Hellbound' and 'Squid Game' were ranked at the top of the Netflix World Chart side by side, attracting attention.

    'Hellbound' tells the story of a supernatural phenomenon in which people are sentenced to hell from the messengers of hell who appear without notice, and the religious organization Saejinrihae, which was revived in this chaos, and those trying to uncover the truth of the incident are intertwined.

    This is a drama based on the Naver webtoon 'Hellbound'. Writer Choi Gyu-seok of 'Awl' and director Yeon Sang-ho of 'Train to Busan' took charge of drawing and writing, respectively.

    The lineup of actors is also good. Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyeon-joo, Park Jeong-min, Won Jin-ah, and Yang Ik-jun enhanced the perfection of the play by three-dimensionally depicting various characters who want to keep their beliefs.

    Meanwhile, 'Hellbound' has been getting a hot response around the world right after it was released on Netflix at 5 pm on November 19th.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Secretly Helped Her Friend Get a Role? Choi Hee Jin Reveals How Their Friendship Led to a Cameo in ‘Newtopia’

    Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

    Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

    The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

    The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

    “Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

    She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

    The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

    Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

    “Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

    Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
