On February 16, OCN’s newest drama “Times” held an online press conference ahead of its premiere!
“Times” is a “time-warp” political mystery drama about Seo Jung In (Lee Joo Young), the daughter of South Korean president Seo Gi Tae (Kim Young Chul). After miraculously communicating with journalist Lee Jin Woo (Lee Seo Jin) from five years in the past by phone call, Seo Jung In attempts to prevent the death of her father but stumbles upon a dangerous truth in the process.
Director Yoon Jong Ho shared, “‘Times’ tells two stories, one about the lies that those with power create, and one about uncovering the truth. This is a new genre that combines the tight timeline of time-warp with a political mystery. As it’s a new genre, we want to deliver a new kind of fun.”
SHINee’s Minho and Kwanghee visited Na Eun, Gun Hoo, and Jin Woo on the February 14 broadcast of KBS 2TV’s “The Return of Superman”!
Since Park Joo Ho had to temporarily leave the house for his winter training schedule, Minho and Kwanghee visited the three children at their home. Na Eun, Gun Hoo, and Jin Woo gifted Minho and Kwanghee with cupcakes they made themselves. Jin Woo also personally fed Minho his favorite snack, prompting a jealous Kwanghee to comment, “There’s no point in raising children. They’re all the same. How could he be like this.” Na Eun comforted him, saying, “It can’t be helped. It’s the first time he’s seeing him.”
