• "Twenty Five Twenty One" Cast Says Their Final Goodbyes Ahead Of Last Episode

    The actors of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Twenty Five Twenty One" expressed their feelings about the ending.

    Kim Tae Ri, who plays Na Hee Do, told the production team on April 3, "I've been running hard for 7 months. I don’t think I will ever forget ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’ for the rest of my life”, she said.

    Then continued, “Hee Do, It was an honor to meet such a wonderful person like you. It was nice to meet you”, she said, adding a special greeting to Na Hee Do. Kim Tae Ri said, "When the two of us are together, let's be happy for a moment without anyone knowing. This is a secret between the two of us”.

    She recalled, “It was a perfect scene where everything harmonized”, referring to the ending of episode 2, where Na Hee Do offered comfort in a refreshing and pure way.

    Nam Joo Hyuk, who plays Baek Yi Jin, recalled the times he did his best, saying, “I worked hard for 7 months and all the actors and staff had fun filming together, so time seems to have passed”.

    Nam Joo Hyuk, who left a thank-you note, said, “To all viewers, thank you very much for watching 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. Whether it's a calm sea or rough waves, the youth who are there seems to resemble us".

    Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), who plays Ko Yu Rim, said, "It feels like yesterday that I had been preparing and filming for a long time, but I feel very regretful that it has already ended. "

    She added, "For the past 7 months, I was grateful that I was Yurim and that I was able to be with 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. It was a precious time to learn, feel, and think a lot while working with great works and good people”.

    She continued, “It was an honor to be with the writers, directors, all the staff, and the seniors who guided me well, and I was really grateful. Thank you so much to everyone who has been watching and giving so much love”.

    Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), who chose the diving scene of Ko Yu Rim as the famous scene in episode 8, said, “It seems to be the most memorable and attached new scene. Before filming, I was worried about whether I would be able to do well, and this is a scene I worked hard on filming for a long time."

    She added, " In particular, it is a scene that still leaves a lot of lingering impressions, as I remember being hurt by Yurim’s emotions, who had no choice but to jump off the diving board”.

    Choi Hyun Wook, who plays Moon Ji Woong, said, "I'm really sorry that it's over now. It was an honor to be with 'Twenty Five Twenty One'. Thank you to everyone who has loved 'Twenty Five Twenty One'."

    In addition, Choi Hyun Wook, who picked the school trip and the cushion thief scene as the best scenes, said, “We talked a lot together at the set to see how to make it more fun. The school trip scene became a real memory, and I think the cushion thief scene came out ridiculously well. It's a personally satisfying scene".

    Lee Joo Myung as Ji Seung Wan said, "It's not easy to let Seung Wan go yet. I thought a lot to play Seungwan, but as much as I thought about it, the characters and dramas were loved a lot, so I think it will remain in my memory for a long time”.

    She added, “The good writer and two directors who allowed me to participate in the work ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’. It was an honor to be with you, and I want to say thank you to the seniors who acted when we cried and laughed together. When you want to feel the depth of youth, you will often listen to dramas as if you were opening a graduation album. We sincerely thank the viewers who loved and cared for our drama and each of our characters”.

    Lee Joo Myung, who chose the best scene in episode 12 of the conversation with her mother
    (in the series), which made even viewers cry, said, “It is memorable because it is a heartbreaking scene that showed that Seung Wan, who only seemed mature and strong, is also a soft and young friend. It felt good to show you the emotions that everyone must have felt or want to feel”.

    The production company Hwa & Dam Pictures also said, “Thanks to all the actors who appeared and the staff who filmed, including Kim Tae Ri, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Ji Yeon (Bona), Choi Hyun Wook, Lee Joo Myung, etc. I would like to convey to you” and “I would like to thank the viewers once again for being with ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’, which wanted to portray the brilliant moment of youth. Please watch the last broadcast of 'Twenty Five Twenty One'".

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
