Listen! Yoori's Forest, a healing music talk show, will air its first episode today, January 9 at 7 PM on Dingo’s official YouTube channel. The show, hosted by singer-songwriter Choi Yoori, aims to bring comfort and empathy to viewers through a unique mix of music and heartfelt conversations.

Choi Yoori explained that the idea behind the show is to create a space where people can comfortably share their small worries and receive emotional healing through music. "I wanted to create a place where people can talk about their unsaid stories and feel comforted through music," she said. Her warm voice and unique perspective will make this show a special experience for everyone watching.

What sets Listen! Yoori's Forest apart from other talk shows is the live performance segment, where Choi Yoori will reinterpret her guests’ hit songs in her own style. Fans can expect new, emotional versions of popular songs, offering fresh and deeply touching performances.

Each episode of the show features a heartwarming moment where the guest plants a small tree and a personal message in a terrarium, symbolizing the growth of Yoori's Forest. This gesture represents a journey of empathy, healing, and connection, going beyond just entertainment.

Listen! Yoori's Forest is a collaboration between Choi Yoori and Dingo, combining Dingo’s stylish direction and deep storytelling with Choi Yoori’s empathetic hosting. The show is set to offer unforgettable moments of healing to all who tune in.

The show’s main segment, Yoori's Forest Music Concert, will see the guest either performing their hits or introducing their hidden gems in Choi Yoori’s unique style. There will also be fun segments, like psychological tests and the stories behind unreleased songs, offering a fresh twist compared to other talk shows.

The very first episode will feature SEVENTEEN’s main vocalist, Seungkwan, as the guest. Seungkwan has shown his love for Choi Yoori’s music in the past, even covering her debut song "Circle" for his birthday last year. Fans got a sneak peek of their collaboration when Seungkwan released a live video covering Choi Yoori’s song “To Love” on January 7, building excitement for the show.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
