• “Yumi's Cells” Is Back For Season 2

    Season 2 of the drama "Yumi's Cells," which has been loved by many people, will be next to us this summer.

    On April 26, Tving officially announced that "Yumi's Cells Season 2" will be released in June.

    In addition, a teaser poster for "Yumi's Cells Season 2" was introduced to announce the pink return of Yumi (Kim Go Eun). 

    There were phrases that amplified expectations, such as "The Second Story of Yumi and Cells," "Yumi is Back," and "Cell Stimulation Empathy Romance," all over the poster.

    In particular, Yumi's mature visuals with long hair caught the eye after saying goodbye to her trademark bobbed hair.

    Yumi showed off her beautiful appearance by wearing long hair.

    On top of that, it was also interesting to see the existence of the writer's cells that launched along with Yumi's prime cells (cells representing people).

    The love cell of the center of the still-brilliant and lovely cell village, the writer cell where Yumi will develop her dream that she has folded for a while, and the appearance of Yumi smiling brightly between the two cells further raised questions about the second story of "Yumi's cells."

    In "Yumi's Cells Season 2," Kim Go Eun's trustworthy performance, which maximizes the character's charm and completes the "real-life version of Yumi," continues.

    In the last season, Yumi, an ordinary office worker, grew up through dating and parting with Koo Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun), and she was encouraged by her co-worker Bobby (Jin Young) to try new things. 

    In the second season, the story of Yumi and cells on the border of dream and love is expected to be depicted.

    Meanwhile, Yumi's Cells, which were released simultaneously on TVing and tvN in September last year, drew great attention by portraying Yumi's story of eating, loving, and growing with cells in a pleasant and realistic manner.

    The combination of live-action and 3D animation, which was attempted for the first time in Korea, received favorable reviews not only for upgrading the charm of the original webtoon but also for making use of reality.

  • Lee Jun Young says he felt guilty and cried after acting mean to a grandma in 'Brave Citizen'

    Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

    On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

    During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

    He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

    The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

    “I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

    He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

    “In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

    Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
