Director Lee Joo Young, who directed the drama 'Anna' starring Suzy, claimed that 'Coupang Play' damaged the work.

On August 2nd, Siwoo, the legal representative of director Lee Joo Young, announced the position of director Lee Joo Young through an official press release.

Director Lee Joo Young's side said, "The original 'Anna' was a total of eight episodes (45-61 minutes per episode), but Coupang Play unilaterally edited and released 'Anna', excluding him as the director, and reduced it to six episodes. Not only has the volume been reduced, but the narrative, filming, editing, and narrative intentions have all been damaged.”

He continued, "I asked the credits to remove my name from 'Director, Screenplay', but even that was rejected. I requested a correction through my agent, but I did not receive a response. We hope for Coupang Play’s public apology and corrective action.”

'Anna' is a mystery suspense drama that tells the story of a woman who lives a completely different life from her name, family, education, and past, starting with trivial lies.

In the drama, Suzy received favorable reviews for her role as Lee Yu Mi, a woman who was born to a poor father and a disabled mother, and Lee Anna, a perfect woman everyone envied.

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.
