Actor Jung Ryeo Won has been stealing the spotlight, maintaining her position as the most talked-about performer for three consecutive weeks with the drama “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon.”

On the 25th, the Good Data Corporation—a specialized organization analyzing K-content competitiveness—released its TV-OTT actor popularity rankings for the third week of June.

Jung Ryeo Won not only secured the top spot in the drama category but also emerged as the overall favorite among actors across both drama and non-drama genres.

In tvN’s weekend drama “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Park Kyung-hwa, produced by Studio Dragon and JS Pictures), Jung Ryeo Won portrays the charismatic star lecturer Seo Hye-jin.

Her realistic acting, fashionable appeal, and endearing charm have consistently won over viewers. Jung Ryeo Won flawlessly embodies the character’s gentle yet resilient competitive spirit, captivating both Lee Jun-ho (played by Lee Jun Ho) and the audience.

In episodes 13 and 14 of “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon,” which aired last weekend, Jung Ryeo Won’s character faced a crisis as her relationship with Lee Jun Ho hit a breaking point, causing turmoil within the educational community. Sensing that their relationship could become public knowledge among parents and students, Jung Ryeo Won tearfully confessed her love to Lee Jun Ho. In this emotional scene, she once again proved why she’s an icon of first love, with her poignant expression, deep gaze, and sincere delivery of lines.

Despite facing malicious rumors and hurtful comments from colleagues and parents within the drama, Jung Ryeo Won continued to shine during last week’s broadcast. As a result, “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” episode 14 achieved its highest ratings on Nielsen Korea’s paid platforms.

The drama recorded an average viewership of 6.3% in the Seoul metropolitan area, with a peak of 7.1%. Nationally, it averaged 5.2% with a peak of 5.8%, securing the top spot among cable and general programming channels during the same time slot.

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.
