Actress Song Hye Kyo is making headlines with her dramatic new look and her exciting new project alongside Gong Yoo. The highly anticipated drama Slowly and Intensely has officially begun filming!

According to Star News on January 13, the cast and crew started shooting on January 12, marking the beginning of a massive production with a budget of over 70 billion won (about $52.8 million).

Written by the renowned screenwriter Noh Hee Kyung, Slowly and Intensely takes viewers back to the 1960s and 1970s. The story explores the lives of stars and the people working behind the scenes in the broadcasting industry.

This is Song Hye Kyo's third time working with Noh Hee Kyung, following their collaborations in The World That They Live In (2008) and That Winter, The Wind Blows (2013). Fans are eagerly anticipating another masterpiece from this dynamic duo.

Song Hye Kyo’s short haircut has already sparked excitement among fans. On the YouTube channel YoJung JaeHyung, the actress shared, “I cut my hair for the next project. It’s a Noh Hee Kyung production, and it’s a historical drama set in the 1960s and 70s.”

Her connection with Noh Hee Kyung runs deep. During her appearance on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, Song Hye Kyo revealed that Noh once taught her an important life lesson: “You need to love yourself first to share more love with those around you and to see the world in a better light.” Inspired by these words, Song has kept a gratitude journal twice a day for five years.

Adding to the excitement, Gong Yoo will star alongside Song Hye Kyo in the drama. This project reunites him with director Lee Yoon Jung, who previously directed the iconic Coffee Prince. Fans are already buzzing about the chemistry between these two powerhouse actors.

Slowly and Intensely is planned as a 22-episode series and will premiere exclusively on Netflix. The production team is aiming to complete filming in the first half of this year, with a release date expected soon after.

With its star-studded cast, a legendary writer, and a massive budget, Slowly and Intensely promises to be one of the biggest dramas of the year. Fans can’t wait to see Song Hye Kyo and Gong Yoo bring this captivating story to life!

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.
