Big stars are making surprise appearances in dramas and movies.

Song Seung Heon, starring in tvN's 'Player 2', has lined up special appearances that remind us of award shows. Season 1 participants like Jung Soo Jung and stars including Jeon Hyun Moo, Heo Sung Tae, Nana, Ryu Hwa Young, and Lee Soo Hyuk are grabbing attention with their significant roles.

Lately, there's a trend of top stars appearing in movies and dramas. Kim Tae Hee appeared in JTBC's 'Welcome to Sampo', while Kwon Yuri, Park Tae Hwan, and Han Seung Yeon made appearances in tvN's 'Seonjae Up and Away'.

Song Joong Ki surprised fans as lawyer Vincent Joe in tvN's 'Queen of Tears'.

Kim Tae Hee has worked with 'Welcome to Sampo' writer Kwon Hye Joo before, and Song Joong Ki with 'Queen of Tears' director Kim Hee Won on 'Vincent Joe' (2021). Their decisions to cameo were influenced by past collaborations and requests.

In movies, Jeon Do Yeon, seen in Director Byun Sung Hyun's 'Night in Paradise' on Netflix, will appear in Byun's new work 'Good News'.

Gong Yoo and Lee Jong Suk appeared in 'Wonderland' and 'Broker'. Gong Yoo played AI developer Sung Jun, deeply engaging viewers emotionally. Management SOOP talents Bae Suzy, Choi Woo Shik, and Jung Yoo Mi's roles in 'Broker' led to Gong Yoo's cameo.

In 'Broker', Lee Jong Suk played a key role alongside Kang Dong Won's character Yeong Il, handling contract killings and becoming a trusted ally, even influencing events after his death.

In 'Escape', actors like Seo Hyun Woo, Lee Sung Wook, Lee Som, and Shin Hyun Ji appeared at crucial moments, enhancing the plot's immersion. Kim Dong Wook was pivotal in 'Hijacking', anchoring the film's suspense.

With fewer productions due to recent circumstances, actors find opportunities for meaningful cameos, balancing loyalty and practicality.

Entertainment critic Jung Deok Hyun commented, "With fewer new productions, actors are finding it easier to take roles that showcase their skills. This fosters loyalty and benefits for writers, directors, and production companies." He added, "Top actors appear in well-made productions with less risk, benefiting everyone."

However, concerns about disrupting drama flow or overemphasis on cameos have emerged. Insiders note these issues arise when production goals aren't clear from the start.

A drama production company representative stated, "Even for brief cameos, there must be clear purpose and relevance. Sometimes, content relies too much on star power or introduces characters that don't fit the story. Careful planning by writers and directors is crucial."

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.
