Actress Shin Ye Eun is making headlines after confirming her role as the female lead in the upcoming drama Survival Doctor, where she’ll be acting alongside Lee Jae Wook for the first time!

On May 8, news outlet OSEN reported that Shin Ye Eun officially accepted the offer to star in Survival Doctor after carefully reviewing the script. The series will be her next big project following her successful roles in The Glory and Jung Nyeon.

In Survival Doctor, Shin Ye Eun will play Yuk Ha Ri, a nurse who once worked at a prestigious university hospital. But something changes in her life, and she ends up working as a one-year contract nurse at a rural health center in Pyeon-dong. There, she reconnects with plastic surgeon Do Ji Ui, played by Lee Jae Wook, and the two become involved in a romantic storyline.

This is the first time Shin Ye Eun and Lee Jae Wook will appear together in a drama, and fans are already looking forward to their chemistry. Lee Jae Wook, who is also set to enlist in the military later this year, will be taking on his first doctor role in the drama. He first debuted in the 2018 drama Memories of the Alhambra and has since built a strong acting career.

Shin Ye Eun made her debut in 2018 through the web drama A-Teen and later gained global attention for playing the young version of the villain Park Yeon Jin in Netflix’s The Glory. She has also starred in JTBC’s More Than Friends, SBS’s The Secret Romantic Guesthouse, and most recently in tvN’s Jung Nyeon as a top actress and rival to the main character.

She’s staying very busy this year — aside from Survival Doctor, she’ll also be appearing in the Disney+ series Misty Stream (Tak Ryu) with Rowoon and Park Seo Ham, and JTBC’s One Hundred Memories, a youth romance where she plays a bold and cheerful bus guide.

Before diving into filming, Shin Ye Eun will also meet her international fans! She’s holding her first solo fan meeting, The Milky Way, in Taipei, Taiwan on May 10.

Survival Doctor is based on a popular webtoon that started on Kakao Webtoon in 2022. It follows the story of a plastic surgeon who gets sent to a remote island as a public health doctor, where he must survive for a year while treating villagers and facing new challenges. The drama will be directed by Lee Myung Woo, known for The Fiery Priest and Boyhood. Details about its broadcast schedule and streaming platforms are still being discussed.

Singer Gummy showed her dedication as a mom by turning down drinks to take care of her child!

On May 9, a new video was uploaded to the Jip Daesung YouTube channel, featuring Gummy and hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo as guests.

When the food arrived, the staff told Dynamic Duo they could order alcohol, with Daesung adding, "This is all for the guests' comfort!"

Choiza then politely offered Gummy the choice, saying, "Let’s drink whatever Gummy wants." But the singer quickly declined, explaining, "I can’t drink today—I have to pick up my daughter."

Things got a little awkward when Daesung, the youngest, brought out soju. As he hesitated over who to serve first—Choiza or Gaeko—Gummy playfully scolded him like a mom, asking, "How do you even survive like this?"

Choiza joked, "Gummy got over her awkwardness after having a kid," but Gummy clarified, "I was never like this to begin with!" Laughing, Choiza admitted, "Actually, Daesung seems even more awkward than Gummy."

Daesung then shared a funny confession: "My sister says I have ‘beggar’s disease’—if I mess up on stage, I can’t stop thinking about it."

Choiza teased, "People around those with ‘beggar’s disease’ have it easy because they’re always reflecting on themselves."

Gummy disagreed, saying, "No, it’s actually hard to deal with them!"—only for Choiza to fire back, "You have it too!"

As Daesung kept goofing around, Gummy groaned, "Ugh, why are you making me want to drink so badly?"

Choiza suggested, "Just let your husband handle pickup today!" Though Gummy admitted, "Jo Jung Suk could do it," she still stuck to water, proving her commitment to mom duties!

Fans loved seeing her responsible yet relatable side—what a queen!
