Jeon Mi Do, best known for her iconic role in Hospital Playlist, recently shared the incredible behind-the-scenes story of her casting in the hit tvN drama.

On January 19, Jeon Mi Do appeared on the Yojeong Jaehyung YouTube channel, where she opened up about her journey to landing the role of Cha Song Hwa in Hospital Playlist.

Although she was a rising star in the musical world, her acting experience was minimal, with only a special appearance in the drama Mother.

Jeon Mi Do revealed that she was contacted by a senior from her school, who worked as a casting director.

"I didn’t even know they were working in this field until I received the call," she said, explaining that she had low expectations after not landing a big role in Mother. She added, "I thought it would be fine even if I was cast as a small role, like a patient or a guardian."

However, things quickly changed as Jeon Mi Do realized that she was actually auditioning for the lead role. "The first audition was for the first scene of season 1, and the second one was with Jo Jung Suk's character, Ik-jun," she explained.

But here’s the surprising twist! Director Shin Won Ho actually paused the audition for an entire hour after seeing Jeon Mi Do.

"He was thinking, 'She seems like Cha Song Hwa, but what should I do?'" Jeon Mi Do shared. The director was unsure about casting a newcomer in such an important role, especially with four well-known actors already signed for the male leads.

Thankfully, Jo Jung Suk came to the rescue. "He had seen my performance and wanted to recommend me," Jeon Mi Do said. This recommendation helped convince Director Shin that even though she was new to acting, her casting would not disrupt the team dynamics.

Jeon Mi Do also revealed that Yoo Yeon Seok, another Hospital Playlist cast member, had heard about her audition and supported her as well.

"Yoo Yeon Seok found out I had auditioned and said it would be great for us to work together," she said. This further reassured the director, who felt confident in her casting.

Jeon Mi Do’s humble journey to landing the role of Cha Song Hwa shows how support from colleagues like Jo Jung Suk and Yoo Yeon Seok played a huge part in her success. It’s a reminder that teamwork and encouragement can lead to incredible outcomes.

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.
