More information has been revealed about the upcoming 'Queen of Tears' 2-part special broadcast.

Confirmed by tvN on April 9, the hit series 'Queen of Tears' will be airing a special two-part broadcast, featuring an 'Ask Anything' segment.

Unlike a typical highlight reel, this special broadcast will provide a unique opportunity for actors to directly answer questions from viewers.

The special broadcast will include appearances by lead actors Kim Soo Hyun, Kim Ji Won, Park Sung Hoon, Kwak Dong Yeon, and Lee Joo Bin.

Following the question and answer session, there will be a segment where the actors read witty comments posted online.

TvN announced, "We will be collecting witty comments about the actors, and the cast members will read them aloud during the special broadcast." Scheduled for May 4 and 5, the special episodes will air following the final episode of 'Queen of Tears.'

'Queen of Tears,' which premiered last month, depicts the risky and miraculous love story between Hong Hae In (played by Kim Ji Won), the third-generation heir of a Queen's group conglomerate and department store queen, and Baek Hyun Woo (portrayed by Kim Soo Hyun), the son of the Yondu-ri village head and supermarket prince, who are in their third year of marriage.

Since its debut, 'Queen of Tears' has been setting records for four consecutive weeks and continues to gain popularity both domestically and internationally. According to Netflix, the series recorded 4.3 million views (Views divided by playtime) from the 25th to the 31st of last month, ranking first in the non-English TV series category.

Singer Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung Jun), who has been banned from entering South Korea for over two decades, continues to express his love for the country and his desire to return.

On March 21, Yoo Seung Jun posted a video on his personal account along with a cryptic caption, saying, “When one door closes, another opens. When one door opens, another closes.”

He continued, “Just because a door has opened doesn’t mean I should leave, and just because one is closed doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to open it. I am simply walking the path my father told me to take. Whether people acknowledge it or not no longer matters to me.”

His hashtags also caught attention, as he included “I love you,” “Bless you,” “South Korea,” “Loved ones,” “Everything will be okay,” and “Korea.” Fans couldn’t help but wonder if he was once again hinting at his hope to return.

Just a few days earlier, on March 18, Yoo Seung Jun had also posted a nostalgic message about his time in South Korea.

He wrote, “December 7, 1989—13 years old (1st year of middle school). The school I attended until the day before I immigrated to the U.S. in Songpa-gu, Oju Middle School, is still the same.”

Along with his message, he shared a video of the school's walls and playground, revealing, “One of my fans filmed my middle school, which I attended until I left for the U.S., and sent me the video.”

The clip also showed scenes of his elementary school, making fans reminisce about his past in Korea.

Yoo Seung Jun was one of the most popular artists in South Korea during the 1990s, but his career took a sharp turn in 2002 when he unexpectedly left for the U.S., renounced his Korean citizenship, and became a U.S. citizen.

This led to widespread backlash, as many saw it as an attempt to evade mandatory military service. As a result, the South Korean government banned him from entering the country.

Since then, he has repeatedly taken legal action in hopes of lifting the ban. Now, with his continued efforts and heartfelt messages about Korea, many are wondering—will he finally be allowed back after 23 years?
