Release date of Korean drama ‘Good Boy' announced
As per a press note, the K-drama tells 'the story of former medal-winning athletes who become police officers and fight in a world full of criminals. Yun Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum), Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun), Kim Jong-hyeon (Lee Sang-yi), Ko Man-sik (Heo Sung-tae) and Shin Jae-hong (Tae Won-seok) form a rag-tag team who seek to take down the forces behind a large crime group.'
'Good Boy' will be streamed on Prime Video from May 31.
Fresh off the success of When Life Gives You Tangerines, Park Bo-gum 'transforms into a different but still lovable character, Yun Dong-ju. Named after a noble Korean poet, Dong-ju lives a life contrary to the name given to him, always getting involved in fist fights during his school years. Through his experiences in fighting, Dong-ju learns proper boxing, beginning a successful career as a boxer and ultimately winning a gold medal. Unfortunately, Dong-ju's glorious moment is shattered by his unfair expulsion from his boxing team. A new beginning starts for Dong-ju when he is able to become a police officer through a special recruitment opportunity. However, his journey as a policeman doesn't turn out to be as smooth as his career as a boxer. Nevertheless, Dong-ju is absolutely smitten when he stumbles upon the beautiful Ji Han-na through work.'
Kim So-hyun channels a medalist turned police officer, Ji Han-na. Since middle school, 'Han-na was a shooting prodigy, dominating world championships with her precise aim and was adored by many fans. However, after gaining a bigger fan base, she also drew attention from less well-intentioned groups. Criticism poured in and misunderstandings piled up, causing Han-na to gradually shut herself off from the world. These difficulties led to her failing to concentrate at the most crucial moment in her shooting career. Eventually, a stress-induced condition and dizziness forced her to retire from her once-promising shooting career. She then applied for special police recruitment, with dreams of becoming a police officer like her father. Han-na is happy to finally be assigned to the special team, despite having the overly enamoured Dong-ju and her ex-boyfriend Jong-hyeon as teammates.'
Lee Sang-yi portrays silver medalist Kim Jong-hyeon.
'Good Boy' is directed by Sim Na-yeon, who is known for hit series Beyond Evil and The Good Bad Mother. The series is written by Lee Dae-il, who wrote Life on Mars and Bring It On, Ghost. (ANI)

Bae Suzy avoids ex-Miss: A member Min's wedding: fans speculate over invitation snub, rekindling past feud rumors
Min, a favorite ex-member of the legendary K-pop group Miss A, wed her long-time beau—an entrepreneur outside show business, on June 7, 2025, in a small, intimate ceremony in Seoul. Although the wedding was a lovely reunion of friends and happy memories, it soon became a burning issue among fans because of one glaring omission: one of K-pop's biggest stars, Bae Suzy. A sweet, nostalgic celebration In spite of the low-key celebration, Min's wedding became a mini-reunion for Miss A as former group members Fei and Jia arrived to join the festivities. The two stars both used social media to congratulate Min and express their happiness and love for her. Jia, who is now working in China's showbiz scene, shared a few loving pictures with Min on her wedding day, captioning them, "So pretty, so sexy, and so lovely. Huge congratulations! The pictures captured the happiness and warmth of the moment, with the two embracing and laughing together.". Fei also expressed these sentiments, posting her gallery of hugs and genuine smiles. Her touching caption was, "Let's be happy always. I love you." For fans of Miss A for a while now, getting to see the three of them together was an emotional experience, as in-between public reunions of ex-members have been few since the group's disbandment. The Lack of Suzy: A Quiet Inquiry But as Fei and Jia's posts made the rounds online, fans immediately picked up that Suzy was nowhere to be seen at both the ceremony and the photoshoot. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Irish homeowners eligible for solar 'bonus' if they live in these eircodes Activ8 Learn More Undo As the most popular member of Miss A and now a household name in South Korea through her successful acting and solo singing career, Suzy's not being there didn't go unnoticed. Within hours, fans had taken to social media and online forums to query why she wasn't there, with a number of them speculating she may not have even received an invite. This speculation renewed long-standing gossip regarding Suzy's relationship with her former group members. While Miss A was still active under JYP Entertainment, fans could always sense tension between Suzy and the rest of the group, particularly after her breakthrough acting stint in the 2012 drama "Dream High." As her solo career continued to flourish, Suzy was regularly missing from group activities, which sparked speculations of a strained relationship. Rumors and Reality: The Group's History Miss A was formed in 2010 and gained popularity instantly with "Bad Girl Good Girl" and "Goodbye Baby." Although successful, fans would frequently notice cringe-worthy body positioning and sitting arrangements at interviews, as if Suzy was a little disengaged from the group. Following Miss A's hiatus in 2017, Suzy stayed behind at JYP before relocating to another agency to concentrate on her solo career, while Fei, Jia, and Min took individual directions. The three have had visible online interactions throughout the years, whereas Suzy has had a distant presence, and she seldom reacts to her ex-bandmates online. Nevertheless, it should be noted that none of the members of Miss A have ever given public comments on the rumors of a split-up or internal discord. No Official Word, But Speculation Persists As Min's wedding reunited Fei and Jia in a celebration of happiness, Suzy's absence also fueled speculation about the group's dynamics once again. Without any official statements made by any of the members, the exact nature of their relationships remains something of a fan debate. For the time being, the focus stays on Min's joyous new life—and the lingering questions surrounding Miss A's past.
