Broadcaster Dex was left completely stunned by BLACKPINK Jisoo’s breathtaking visuals in real life!

On January 30th, Jisoo appeared as a guest on Dex's Fridge Interview, a segment on the YouTube channel 117, ahead of her highly anticipated solo comeback.

Jisoo shared why she decided to come on the show, saying, "I’ve been watching ‘Cold Interview’ regularly. Dex makes guests feel comfortable, so I thought I could just tag along and have fun."

But it was Dex’s reaction to Jisoo’s beauty that stole the spotlight! As soon as she walked in, he couldn’t hide his shock and blurted out, "I heard from fans that you look even better in person, but this is on another level—like a total boss!"

He kept gushing, "Your skin is flawless. I can’t see a single pore. Your face is literally glowing… my brain is shutting down."

Jisoo, staying cool as always, was then asked about her first impression of Dex. She smiled and said, "The words that first came to mind were ‘military’ and ‘someone who can carry heavy bags with ease.’ But seeing you in person, you actually give off a warm and kind vibe."

Dex, clearly amused, laughed and replied, "As expected, Jisoo really knows how to see through people!"

Fans are now teasing Dex, wondering if he’s moved on from TWICE’s Sana, who he previously showed interest in. With his jaw-dropping reaction to Jisoo, some are saying, "Dex, you’re falling again!"

Director Kim Hyung Joo of The Match has finally shared his thoughts on Yoo Ah In’s involvement in a drug scandal, calling it a major disappointment, especially considering the actor’s role as the lead in the film.

On March 19th, the director attended a press screening and briefing for The Match at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. Alongside Kim, actors Lee Byung Hun, Ko Chang Seok, Hyun Bong Sik, Moon Jung Hee, and Jo Woo Jin were present to discuss the film.

The Match revolves around the legendary Go player Cho Hun Hyun (played by Lee Byung Hun), who, after a loss to his disciple, decides to challenge the top players again, driven by his competitive spirit. The movie is directed by Kim Hyung Joo.

Lee Byung Hun plays the iconic Go champion Cho Hun Hyun, while Yoo Ah In portrays his disciple, Lee Chang Ho.

During the event, Kim recalled the casting process, saying, "When we were casting, Lee Byung Hun was cast first. Just having him felt like we had the world, and then, getting Yoo Ah In as a bonus made me even happier."

Although filming wrapped up in 2021, Yoo Ah In's drug scandal led to the indefinite postponement of the film’s release. Now, nearly four years later, The Match is finally set to hit theaters on March 26th.

Reflecting on Yoo Ah In's scandal, Director Kim openly shared his frustration, calling it "irresponsible and disappointing" for the actor to make such a mistake as the lead.

He added, “Before being an actor, he made a mistake as a member of society and was punished, so I don’t think there’s much more to say.” Kim smiled bitterly as he spoke.

Describing the challenges he faced due to the scandal, Kim compared the experience to being trapped in "a hellish tunnel."

He said, "There was nothing I could do inside, so it was overwhelming. But now that we have the light of release, it feels like I can breathe. I’m deeply moved."

The director also shared that because Yoo Ah In was the lead actor, the film had to be released as it was, without editing. This has led some people to feel uneasy about watching the film, given the actor’s scandal.

When asked about this, Director Kim said, "Choosing and judging is up to the audience, so I can't force anything. But I hope they watch the movie as it is. I unintentionally got hurt before the release, so I hope people watch the movie warmly, as if applying ointment to a wound."

The Match will officially be released on March 26th.
