Kim Go-eun to reprise role in season 3 of "Yumi's Cells"
15 May - Kim Go-eun is excited to return for the third season of her hit series, "Yumi's Cells".
The actress, who spoke about the new season recently, stated, "It's an honour and a joy to be able to continue telling Yumi's story, which has been loved by so many viewers."
"As an actor, spending this much time with one character is a rare and meaningful experience. I hope to portray the inflection points in Yumi's life with care and warmth in Season Three. This journey with Yumi began back in 2021, and I hope to bring it to a heartfelt conclusion," she said.
Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name by Lee Dong-geon, Kim first played the titular role back in 2021, where the drama tells the story of an ordinary office worker from the perspective of the brain cells in her head.
The first season saw her character's growth and transformation after a failed relationship, while the second season is about her relationship with her co-worker Yoo Ba-bi.
In the third season, Kim returns as Yumi, who has now achieved her dream of becoming a writer but has her world turned upside down when a new romance arrives.
The third season reunites the original creative team, including director Lee Sang-yeob and writers Song Jae-jeong and Kim Kyung-ran and is slated for release in the first half of 2026.

K-pop stars Jimin and Jung Kook of BTS discharged from military service as band's reunion nears
YEONCHEON, South Korea — K-pop superstars Jimin and Jung Kook are the latest and final members of BTS to be discharged from South Korea's mandatory military service. The pair wore their military uniforms Wednesday, saluted and addressed fans who had assembled to see the pair after their discharge. Jung Kook thanked the journalists and fans who traveled to see him and Jimin after their discharge and acknowledged how different it was to be back in the spotlight. 'Actually, it's been so long since I've been in front of cameras, and I didn't even put on makeup, so I'm a bit embarrassed,' he said. 'I don't know what to say.' They enlisted in December 2023, one day after RM and V did the same. The latter were discharged on Tuesday. They saluted upon their release Tuesday in Chuncheon City as about 200 fans, some of whom traveled from Mexico, Turkey and Brazil, cheered. V thanked fans Tuesday for their patience in waiting for him and RM's return and teased the band's reunion. 'If you can just wait a little bit longer, we will return with a really amazing performance.' The seven singers of the popular K-pop band plan to reunite as a group sometime in 2025 after they finish their service. Six of the group's seven members served in the army, while Suga is fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative form of military service. He will be discharged later this month. Jin, the oldest member of K-pop supergroup BTS, was discharged in June 2024 . J-Hope was discharged in October . In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. The law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. However, in 2020, BTS postponed their service until age 30 after South Korea's National Assembly revised its Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30. There was heated public debate in 2022 over whether to offer special exemptions of mandatory military service for BTS members, until the group's management agency announced in October 2022 that all seven members would fulfill their duties. ___ Sherman reported from New York.
