Son Seok Koo, who rose to fame with the JTBC drama "My Liberation Notes" and the film "The Roundup", exposed his previously hidden abs.

As the film "The Roundup" quickly grew in popularity, gaining millions of viewers, the lead actor Son Seok Koo posted behind-the-scenes images of the production on his Instagram.

On the 20th, Son Seok Koo shared many images on his Instagram account with the caption "Group photo of The Roundup".

The leaked photo features the makeup and wardrobe team, as well as Son Seok Koo.

Among them was a photograph of Son Seok Koo, who had dressed up as a tattoo on his upper torso and was leaving with a tattooist.

He posed for the camera naked on his upper body. With tattoos all over his body, it was his abs that stuck out. The vibrant king-shaped abdominal muscles and outer abdominal muscles are stunning.

Son Seok Koo's powerful body stood out in a short video he posted. Surprising are the arm muscles that raise in fury.

"Look at his muscles", "He's cool and crazy", "Did you know it's raining a lot in Korea because of him?", "He cheered with replies such as Heart attack", "Seok 9C, I admire you," "I love you as a man", "Thanks to you, my eyes are happy", and "My husband is cool" and so on.

Son Seok Koo once stated in "The Roundup" that he gained 10kg in order to properly revive the villain Kang Hae Sang's image.

Usually, actors who appear as villains in the play are despised, but fans are more enthusiastic about Son Seok Koo's unexpected charm despite the fact that he is a ruthless criminal, and the admiration accumulated with "My Liberation Notes" contributed to this.

Son Seok Koo was adored by female viewers for his part as a rude yet precise "Mr. Gu" in the JTBC drama "My Liberation Notes," which premiered on the 9th of last month.

In the drama, Koo appears as someone who shares his heart with Yeom Mi Jung (Kim Ji Won), and the two were dubbed the "Chuang Couple" and were a driving factor behind the drama's popularity.

He wanted to be a documentary filmmaker since he was a child. I majored in film at the University of Chicago's School of the Arts.

He completed his military service in the Zaytun unit and afterwards trained as an athlete in Canada before becoming an actor, according to his military service biography.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
