SEVENTEEN Leader S.Coups' Met Gala Debut Is A Treat To Star Wars Fans
The 2025 Met Gala attracted global attention as artists from all over the world flaunted their style and charm. Just like previous years, K-pop made its mark once again, and several high-profile idols represented the brands they support. This year, SEVENTEEN's leader, S.Coups, made his debut, and he walked the blue carpet for BOSS in a Star Wars-inspired look. Just a month after he was appointed as the brand's global ambassador, S.Coups stunned his fans by wearing a grey attire, which he layered with a mandarin collar shirt, a blazer and a long coat.
Following the 2025 theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style and the dress code Tailored for You, S.Coups chose a grey blazer that looked like a traditional Korean hanbok, which he paired with matching trousers. He kept his accessories simple, as he just wore a watch. To complete the look, he even coloured his hair grey to match the overall attire. With this, S.Coups joined other K-pop names like Stray Kids, Jackson Wang, BLACKPINK's Jennie and Rose to walk the iconic Met steps.

Kim So Hyun reveals if Park Bo Gum is rude in real life, opens up about her ‘lethargic, unmotivated' image
Kim So Hyun and Park Bo Gum's onscreen reunion after a decade as co-stars is currently the most talked-about K-drama moment. The two are headlining Prime Video's Good Boy, alongside Lee Sang Yi, Tae Won Seok, Park Chul Min, and more. In the Shim Na Yeon directorial, Kim So Hyun plays Ji Hana, a former Olympic shooting gold medalist, who also happens to be the love interest of Yoon Dong Jo, played by Bo Gum. The actor recently sat down for a fun chat with Elle Korea, where she opened up about working with her co-stars, spilled on her social media habits, and shared how her advice game has seriously leveled up over the years. Also read: Park Bo Gum made a request to Kim So Hyun years ago: 'Remember this when the time comes'; the story behind Good Boy casting During the chat, So Hyun was asked to differentiate between Park Bo Gum's on-screen and off-screen behaviour. She was also pressed about the widely circulated rumour that he's rude on set. Despite the popular belief that he's one of the kindest actors in the K-drama scene, a few past incidents, and a recent when life gives you tangerines situation, where workers claimed they were treated rudely (without naming anyone), sparked some gossip. To that, Kim So Hyun said flat out: he's very kind. 'Is he a little bit rude?' So Hyun said with a laugh, adding that she gets asked questions like that all the time. 'But in this case, it's the opposite.' While she described Yoon Dong Joo as a bit frustrating, always hovering around her and the reason she ends up slapping her own forehead over and over, real-life Bo Gum, she said, is like a puppy. 'He's like a puppy. Full of love, affection, and cuteness.' Earlier, at a press conference, So Hyun also admitted that Bo Gum was the only reason she said yes to Good Boy. 'As soon as I heard that he was cast, I knew I had to be part of this project.' And this isn't the first time Bo Gum's been showered with praise by his female co-stars. His Tangerines co-lead IU once called him a walking green flag. Also read: Good Boy first Impression: Don't be fooled by 'Pouty' Park Bo Gum, he's delivering career-best punches Despite being active in the industry for years, So Hyun has only taken up a handful of roles. And most of the time, she gets criticised for having a 'boring' personality. When asked about it, Kim laughed it off. 'People say I look tired or bored, but I'm just shy. I don't react with big expressions, so even when I'm enjoying something, it doesn't show.' In the same breath, she also revealed the nickname she's earned on set. 'Everyone calls me 'grandma.' They said I looked extra tired today, but I'm usually just observing things with a warm smile, that's my vibe.' Apart from acting, So Hyun is also known for her huge mutual list on Instagram. She's currently following over 6,000 accounts, and a lot of those are fan pages. The actor revealed, back when she was still a teenager and Instagram was just taking off, she would often reply to DMs from fans and even give out advice. 'I didn't really know much about relationships,' she laughed, 'but I used to give a lot of career advice.' Now that she's in her mid-20s, Kim says she can finally offer relationship advice too. 'Don't date someone with a temper. Find someone kind, warm, and soft-hearted… like a loaf of bread.' But this wholesome approach of being concerned for everyone came with some setbacks. At one point, her account was even suspended for following too many fans too fast. These days, she's more careful. 'I still follow back sometimes,' she shared, 'but I check the first DM they ever sent me. If I feel like they've been a genuine fan for a while, I follow them back.'

‘Taehyung was so passionate': Award-winning director recalls how BTS' V got rid of IU's MV scene, cut his hair and enlisted the next day
BTS member Kim Taehyung has always had a knack for acting, and it's no secret. Back in the day, he kicked things off with the historical K-drama Hwarang alongside fellow Wooga Squad member Park Hyung Sik, and years later, stormed the MV scene with IU's Love Wins All. The K-pop idol then enlisted in the military and is now just days away from his comeback. At the Muju Film Festival on June 6, Concrete Utopia director Uhm Tae Hwa, who recently bagged the Best Director award, opened up about working with the star and said he'd love to team up with him again, even if it means creating an entirely new role just to fit him. Also read: BTS' V replies to fan's countdown post: 'You waited… now what?'; from solo concerts to FESTA and art exhibits, here's what's next for the K-pop stars While speaking to Editor-in-Chief Joo Sung Chul, Um Tae Hwa revealed they shot the entire music video in just two days. He recalled how the Winter Bear crooner filmed his entire scene while also helping the crew and the director himself, cut his hair right after, and left for the military the next day. During the conversation, the host asked the director if he was aware of Taehyung's comeback from the military, and Uhm said he was and had even sent him a personal message. The host then mentioned how fans have been urging the director to cast V in a movie, to which Uhm replied, 'If Taehyung were willing to do it, I'd be so grateful. I'd love to work with him—even if I had to make up a role just to ask him.' (Translated via Allkpop) He added, 'We only filmed for two days. He left the next day. That's how much he wanted to do it. He was very passionate. That's when I realised he had a real desire to act. I'm not joking—it would be amazing if we could work together again.' Also read: BTS' RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook to greet fans at designated locations post-discharge; BIGHIT says, 'Refrain from visiting' The director was asked to share a story about the K-pop idol, something he witnessed and found unique about him. He replied that Taehyung was very involved on set and was never the kind of celebrity who just did things for the sake of doing them. Originally, the final scene had the two characters (IU and V) crowd-surfing in wedding dresses while singing. But the team was running out of time, and everyone was worried. Trying to shoot it was causing a lot of stress, yet the director wanted to keep the scene badly. 'As a director, I really wanted to film that scene. I thought it would enhance the emotional impact. So I kept trying to make it work until the very end.' That's when the singer came and spoke to him. 'He said, 'Instead of this, how about we film another, better scene?'' Uhm recalled. 'He talked me into it, and he was right; we didn't have enough time. If we had stuck with my idea, we might not have had time to film the other important scenes. Everyone, including the audience actors, was stressing over how to do that scene,' He continued. 'Then Taehyung turned to them and said, 'Everyone, I got rid of that scene!' And everyone cheered.' IU and BTS' V's post-apocalyptic dystopian saga Love Wins All dropped on January 24, 2024, as the lead single from IU's sixth Korean EP, The Winning. The song, and especially the music video, scored a perfect all-kill on South Korean music charts and was hailed as the MV of the season, even debuting at number 25 on the Billboard Global 200. V shot his scenes just a week before his mandatory military enlistment, viewing the project as a parting gift to ARMYs before heading off. In the MV, V and IU escape from a cube-like object in their wedding dresses. IU's character is shown with a hearing impairment, communicating with V through sign language, while V's character is visually impaired.

'Oldboy' star Choi Min-sik returns to TV in Netflix drama ‘Noted from the Last Row'
Veteran actor Choi Min-sik, best known for his unforgettable roles in 'Oldboy,' 'I Saw The Devil,' 'Lucy,' and more recently 'Exhuma', is set to return to the small screen in Netflix's upcoming Korean drama 'Noted from the Last Row'. The series will mark another major project for the acclaimed actor, bringing his talents back to television after a focus on film in recent years. In this new series, Choi will play Heo Moon-oh, a once-promising writer who failed to live up to expectations and now teaches literature. His life takes a strange turn when he becomes deeply fascinated by the writing of a quiet student, Lee Kang, who always sits in the last row of his classroom. Choi Hyun-wook (best known from 'DP', 'Twinkling Watermelon') will play Lee Kang, while Huh Joon-ho ('Bloodhounds', 'Mercy For None') takes on the role of Moon-oh's friend, Kim Su-hun — a successful writer. Kim Yun-jin, well known to global audiences from the American series 'Lost', will portray Ahn Eun-joo, Su-hun's wife. Jin Kyung ('Dr Romantic') joins the cast as Jo Hyeon-suk, Moon-oh's wife and psychologist. 'Noted from the Last Row' is based on the Spanish play by Juan Mayorga, which was previously adapted into the French film 'In the House' by François Ozon. The Korean adaptation is being helmed by director Kim Gyu-tae ('Our Blues', 'The Trunk') and written by Jang Myung-woo ('My Mother, the Mermaid'). The series promises a layered story about obsession, genius, and ambition — all told through the lens of Choi Min-sik's powerful performance.
