Park Jinyoung to romance Kim Yoo Jung after Our Unwritten Seoul fame? 100 Days of Lies eyes male lead role

Pink Villa29-07-2025
Acing the romance genre one project after the other, Park Jinyoung is one of the most-wanted K-pop idol-actor names in town right now! From The Devil Judge to Yumi's Cells and, more recently, Our Unwritten Seoul, he has been lining up popular projects under his belt. According to the latest reports, the actor is looking to take on another K-drama, challenging the period romance genre. 100 Days of Lies was previously offered to My Demon star Kim Yoo Jung for the female lead role.
What is 100 Days of Lies all about?
Making for an unexpected and never-seen-before pairing, if everything goes well, 100 Days of Lies would bring Park Jinyoung and Kim Yoo Jung together in a setting based around Gyeongseong. According to BH Entertainment's response to Newsen, the actor was indeed offered the role in the project. However, he is only considering the script as of now and has not confirmed his participation.
Kim Yoo Jung was being considered for the portrayal of a top pickpocket who turns into a spy for the independence movement after a deal with them. If chosen, she would join the project under a disguise, working for the Japanese Government-General of Korea. Further details of the two characters' interpersonal relations have not been revealed so far. It is known that Ryu Bo Ri, the writer of Do You Like Brahms? and Trolley, will be helming the K-drama alongside director Yoo In Shik, known for work in Extraordinary Attorney Woo and the Dr. Romantic series.
Both the actors have enjoyed massively famous K-dramas under their names, including Moon Embracing the Sun and Love in the Moonlight for her. Kim Yoo Jung's next project is all set to be Dear X with Park Jinyoung acting in Shining. A visual pairing and profound actors, the duo would be a delight to watch on screen!

2025 VMAs nominations spark controversy over BTS' Jin and J-Hope snubs as all BLACKPINK members get nods: 'Disclose criteria'

The 2025 Video Music Awards just revealed their nomination list, and things immediately got messy, especially in the K-pop category. Fans expected a little drama, sure, but not this level of confusion. BTS's Jin and J-Hope, both of whom dropped some of the strongest solo tracks this year, didn't make the cut. Meanwhile, all four BLACKPINK members landed solo nods, and fans are already coming up with scathing accusations. The nominations were supposed to celebrate the best in K-pop, but right now, it feels more like a popularity contest, according to BTS ARMY. VMAs 2025 spark chaos over K-pop nominations The Best K‑Pop category at the 2025 VMAs includes seven nominees: Whiplash by Aespa, Like Jennie by Jennie, Who by Jimin, Earthquake by Jisoo, Born Again by Lisa featuring Doja Cat and Raye, Chk Chk Boom by Stray Kids, and Toxic Till the End by Rosé. While all four BLACKPINK members landed solo nominations, Jimin is the only BTS member to appear on the list. #VMAs Best K-pop nominees:Aespa – 'Whiplash' Jennie – 'Like Jennie ' Jimin – 'Who'Jisoo – 'Earthquake' Lisa ft. Doja Cat & Raye – 'Born Again' Stray Kids – 'Chk Chk Boom' Rosé – 'Toxic Till the End' The BTS snub: Jin and J-Hope left out One of the biggest talking points this year is who didn't make the cut, and at the centre of it are BTS's Jin and J-Hope. Both artists released solo work that not only performed well commercially but also made a serious cultural impact. J-Hope's tracks Killin' It Girl, Mona Lisa, and Sweet Dreams emerged as chartbusters, dominating streaming platforms and showcasing his range as a performer. Meanwhile, Jin's Heart on the Window and Don't Say You Love Me struck a chord with listeners, pulling in massive numbers globally—numbers that, in many cases, outpaced those of several nominees. But neither name appears on the VMAs list. Only Jimin is nominated, and while fans are proud of that, it's hard to ignore how the rest of BTS was completely shut out. Fans are now questioning whether BLACKPINK's agency YG Entertainment had a hand in shaping the lineup, with some openly suggesting that industry politics may have played a bigger role than actual performance or impact. 'Disclose nomination criteria': ARMYs enraged One fan on X wrote, "Jin has better chart results than more than half of this list. He has better streams, better sales, and a better debut on billboard charts. He is still charting, unlike half of these people. Why is he not nominated? What's the criteria? Where's the transparency? Disclose nomination criteria @vmas." "Jin has accomplished way more than anyone on this list, yet he didn't get a single nomination. Just wondering, did the rules change, or is something else going on?" tweeted another ARMY. A third added, "Vmas are so annoyingly ambiguous with their noms, like how are Jin and hobi not there… It's laughable. anyway, let's make sure we win this for Jimin!!" Check out more reactions below: then how come Jin and Jhope didn't get nominated? @vmas b!tchass answer the way jin adn jhope were robbed off the VMA'S is we have know they r attendance just do our best for jimin tho(fuck u vmas) Let's be serious, how come neither Jin nor Tae or even Jhope were nominated for the VMAS while #her, who was a total flop, is nominated???? Overall nominations: Gaga leads, Rosé hits a milestone Outside of the K-pop category, the 2025 VMAs are gearing up to Lady Gaga's show. She leads the pack with 12 nominations, just behind Taylor Swift's record. Bruno Mars follows with 11 nods, and Kendrick Lamar scores 10. BLACKPINK's Rosé makes history as well, tying for eighth place overall with 8 nominations, making her the first member of the group to reach that number as a solo artist. 2025 MTV Video Music Awards – Full nominee list Video of the Year The biggest category of the night is stacked.

As the world goes gaga over Labubus, TWICE singer Jeongyeon thinks they're overhyped: ‘Don't fall for trends'

If the never-ending Labubu obsession is starting to feel like a jump scare, you're not alone, because now even K-pop idols are starting to roll their eyes. The latest to speak out? TWICE's Jeongyeon. While fans continue to scramble for the elusive, wide-eyed figurines, Jeongyeon's recent airport moment and reported response on social media has sparked a fresh wave of debate around trend culture and consumerism. TWICE singer Jeongyeon; Labubu What happened at the airport? A video from TWICE's recent airport appearance is currently making the rounds online. In it, a fan can be seen handing Jeongyeon a Labubu — a viral collectable that has recently taken over social media (and shelves). She accepted the gift and walked off with it, but later, on the fan messaging platform Bubble, she shared what she really thought. 'I'm not interested in dolls.' she allegedly wrote, adding, 'Don't fall for trends.' It didn't take long for the screenshots to explode across X, TikTok, and fan forums. While some fans praised her no-nonsense approach and dubbed her an 'anti-capitalist queen,' others weren't so impressed. Critics pointed out that her words might have hurt the fan who gifted the doll, with some saying another idol might have been torn apart online for the same comment. So, what's the deal with Labubu anyway? Labubu dolls are part of the Monsters series by Hong Kong-based brand POP MART, in collaboration with artist Kasing Lung. With their mischievous grin and slightly creepy-cute elf-like faces, these dolls have become the must-have accessory — especially among Gen Z collectors. They're typically sold in blind boxes, which makes every purchase a gamble (and drives up resale prices when rarer versions appear). The Labubu craze first took off in China and gained global traction after celebs like BLACKPINK's Lisa were seen carrying them. Recently, Lady Gaga debuted her own custom Labubu, handcrafted by fashion designer Marko Monroe. Whether or not you agree with her, the TWICE member's message was clear: trends don't always deserve your wallet. And for fans who've been secretly side-eyeing the Labubu mania, it's the validation they've been waiting for.
