'Marine Private' Jung Dong-won Shows Off Dashing New Look

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 11:04:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Singer Jung Dong-won has made a public appearance, looking noticeably more dashing and healthy while serving in the Marine Corps.

Jung Dong-won, currently serving as a Private in the 2nd Marine Division Artillery Brigade, served as the host for the Marine Corps victory commemorative event held on the 11th.

According to videos shared by fans on social media, Jung Dong-won appeared on stage with a short haircut, wearing his military uniform and an eight-pointed cap, looking bright and healthy. After taking off his cap on stage, he saluted with a disciplined posture, saying, "Hello. I am Private Jung Dong-won, the host for today. I will now salute. Pilseung!"

His more robust physique compared to before his enlistment also drew attention. Throughout the event, Jung Dong-won hosted with a clear voice and disciplined posture, and even when clapping, he maintained a sharp, soldier-like demeanor. After the event, he was seen looking bright while taking photos with military generals.

Born in 2007, Jung Dong-won voluntarily enlisted in the Marine Corps on February 23, shortly after graduating from the Department of Practical Music at the School of Performing Arts Seoul. Although he had already achieved great success as a singer at a young age, he drew attention for choosing to fulfill his national defense duty early at the age of 19.

Enlisting in the Marine Corps was a goal Jung Dong-won had held for a long time. Before his enlistment, he revealed through YouTube content that he had sought advice on military life from singer and actor Oh Jong-hyuk, a Marine veteran, saying, "If I was born a man, I want to serve in the military in a cool way. My father was also in the 707th Special Mission Group, so I have heard many stories about the military."

Jung Dong-won is scheduled to be discharged on August 22, 2027.

Yoon Kyungho Begins '13-Hour Vow of Silence' for 'Agent Kim Reactivated'

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 10:37:00 +0900

Actor Yoon Kyungho has begun his "13-hour vow of silence" to honor the overwhelming success of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Agent Kim Reactivated."

On July 13, Yoon announced the start of his pledge on his social media, sharing a short video with the caption, "I started my vow of silence at 7 AM this morning."

In the video, Yoon says with a determined expression, "I, Yoon Kyungho, swear to faithfully carry out this vow of silence with a grateful heart and without any lies, including in private spaces where cameras cannot follow, such as the shower or the bathroom."

He then announced, "Everyone, I am beginning my 13-hour vow of silence now," officially starting the countdown.

Previously, at the "Agent Kim Reactivated" press conference held on June 25, Yoon made the pledge, stating, "Since So Jisub has returned to SBS after 13 years, if the ratings exceed 13%, I will observe a 13-day vow of silence if my schedule allows. If not, I will do it for at least 13 hours."

Known for being talkative in the entertainment industry, Yoon made the vow himself. "Agent Kim Reactivated" surpassed the 13% target in just two episodes, reaching a nationwide rating of 15.7%. The most recent sixth episode even hit a record-breaking 22.3%, solidifying its position as the biggest hit of the year.

Consequently, Yoon confirmed he would fulfill his promise to the fans. On the day of the pledge, he is scheduled to appear as a guest on the live broadcast of SBS Power FM's "Cultwo Show," where he will have to conduct the radio broadcast without saying a word. Following the radio show, he will also hold a fan signing event at the SBS Broadcasting Center in Mok-dong at 4 PM.

Meanwhile, "Agent Kim Reactivated," which has become a major hit, is based on a popular webtoon of the same name. It is a "Dad Universe" revenge action drama about an ordinary father who becomes the most dangerous man in the world to rescue his only kidnapped daughter. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM on SBS.

'My Little Old Boy' Star Hwang Seok-jeong Recounts Shocking Betrayal; 'Lovers in Paris' Reunion Teased

star@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:21:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

A detective revealed various shocking experiences on the latest broadcast.

On the July 12th episode of the SBS program "My Little Old Boy," Hwang Seok-jeong, Park Se-mi, Choi Jin-hyuk, and Jo Jin-se visited a detective agency.

The group visited the agency to confess burdens they had previously given up on resolving. Before diving in, Jo Jin-se asked what the most absurd request the detective had ever received was.

The detective shared a story that sounded like something out of a drama, saying, "Although it did not lead to a formal contract, the most absurd request was someone asking me to intentionally cause a car accident to prevent a coworker from getting a promotion."

He continued, "The most extreme case was a call I received at dawn asking me to kill someone. They wanted me to kill four family members to receive an inheritance due to property issues, which was a request I absolutely could not accept," shocking everyone present.

He also mentioned that infidelity cases make up an overwhelming majority of his work. "The most shocking case involved four close friends who created alibis for each other's affairs. It was essentially group infidelity. The four of them moved together and took turns enjoying affairs. They even used money to keep their children quiet," he said, causing further shock.

He added, "There was also a case where a person brought their affair partner to the house next door and moved between the two homes by breaking through a partition wall."

He also recounted a case where a wife's cousin, who was supposedly a relative with no other connections in the country, was actually the wife's affair partner and had been her lover since before they were married. He revealed that a DNA test on their two children eventually proved that the second child was not the client's biological child.

Following this, Park Se-mi shared her own experience. She explained that in the past, her boyfriend asked for money for his part-time job, so she gave him about 500,000 to 600,000 won every month. She later found out he used that money to go on overseas trips with another woman. She revealed an incomprehensible ending where she discovered his infidelity but forgave him and continued the relationship, which angered those listening.

Watching this, Seo Jang-hoon expressed his frustration, saying, "That is a classic case of self-sabotage. No matter what happens, she just forgives everything and goes back. The conclusion is already set, but she just cannot let go of her lingering attachment."

Hwang Seok-jeong then shared that her first love once told her he was going out in a suit, only to find out later that he had actually gone to his own wedding, leaving everyone stunned.

Hwang Seok-jeong said, "That is not even the beginning. At the time, I was doing a play, and I took in a junior actor who was feeling unwell to look after her. It turned out my boyfriend was also dating this junior actor," describing a shocking love square.

She further expressed her anger by revealing that even after she declared they should break up, the man refused to let go and lied to his wife, claiming that the other woman was threatening to kill herself, which was why he had no choice but to keep seeing her.

Finally, the detective shared tips on how to check for infidelity, noting that affairs now happen regardless of location. The detective advised, "Check the delivery address list on your spouse's phone. If there are unfamiliar addresses, you should be suspicious."

When Jo Jin-se worried, "What if they delete the evidence after watching this broadcast?", the detective reassured the clients by saying, "In that case, we have our own ways of finding it."

The detective also added, "If you see the term 'Gimidol' on your spouse's phone, you should be suspicious. It stands for a group for married people, single people, and divorcees. Married people often pretend to be single there, and it is full of people with unverified identities. Many romance scams also take place there," drawing attention.

Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast teased the reunion of Kim Jung-eun and Lee Dong-wook, the stars of the drama "Lovers in Paris," after 20 years. They were shown having a video call with Park Shin-yang, reminiscing about the past and raising expectations for the next episode.

Brian's dream house has been revealed.

On the July 12 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy", Brian unveiled his home.

The 300-pyeong detached house, spanning two floors above ground and one floor underground, was a clean house where Brian realized his perfect dream by participating in the design from the very beginning, leaving the panelists in awe.

Choi Daniel Reveals His Quirky Habits on 'My Little Old Boy'

▶ SBS News App Download

Actor Choi Daniel showed off his potential for "My Little Old Boy."

On the episode of SBS's "My Little Old Boy" that aired on the 12th, actor Choi Daniel appeared as a special MC and drew attention.

During the broadcast, the "Mom-vengers" praised Choi Daniel, saying, "Your eye smile is so cute." Seo Jang-hoon then opened the conversation by saying, "He is a person perfectly optimized for 'My Little Old Boy'."

He continued, "I heard that drinking milk that is a week past its expiration date is a basic habit for you, and that you just cut off the moldy parts of food to eat it. Is it also true that you eat baby formula in the morning?"

To this, Choi Daniel replied, "Don't you ever crave the taste of baby formula? There is a specific flavor when you chew the powder," and showered the taste of baby formula with praise.

Hearing this, Seo Jang-hoon was shocked and said, "I had a younger sister who was five years younger than me, so I tried baby formula when I was six or seven. I was curious about the taste, and I thought it was okay, so I had it sometimes. But you still eat it now?" which brought laughter to the set.

Seo Jang-hoon then mentioned his "Top 3 Celebrities Who Are Disappointing," listing "Jang Ki-ha, who has never lived alone; Lee Sung-min, who cannot drink a single glass of alcohol; and Choi Daniel, who scored 5 points on the math section of the CSAT."

Seo Jang-hoon added, "What I don't understand is that even if you just guessed, you could have gotten a better score than that," while looking puzzled. Shin Dong-yeob then asked, "Oh, so you actually solved it?" and Choi Daniel replied, "I solved it. I finished it all and even had time left to check my work. The even more shocking part is that if I had just picked one number for everything, I would have gotten 10 to 12 points," mentioning his own baffling achievement and causing laughter.

'Running Man' Recap: 'Yukipedia' Yu Jae-seok Leads Comedian Team to Victory + 16th Anniversary Messages from Yoo Yeonseok and More

star@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 21:32:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Yu Jae-seok, known as "Yukipedia," displayed his impressive knowledge and skills.

The July 12 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man" featured the cast members traveling back to 1995.

In this episode, the members and guests participated in a race titled "Holding Onto the End of This Memory," enjoying a nostalgic trip back to 1995.

HAHA, who had not yet debuted at the time, recalled, "I was a trainee in a dance team created by Jong-kook hyung. That is why he used to give me pocket money."

Looking at Song Eun-i, he was surprised by her ageless appearance, saying, "Eun-i noona looks exactly the same." The members also reminisced about Jo Hye-ryun's activities during that era.

Yu Jae-seok commented, "Let me summarize it for you. Hye-ryun noona had many catchphrases and was very popular. Eun-i was also doing well. Jong-kook was simply a star. And Seokjin hyung and I were just peripheral figures."

Hearing this, Jee Seokjin drew attention by saying, "Back then, you could only appear on the show if your name was on the chalkboard. That was the casting board. If your name was not there, you went home. Still, I showed up every single day."

The members, who went on a time-travel journey through the years, finally found items corresponding to the year 2003. Out of 12 items, only 7 were authentic.

The Entertainer team, having won the previous mission, earned the opportunity to choose their items first. HAHA selected items he claimed were from 2003 for various reasons, but his teammates did not trust his judgment.

In particular, HAHA recalled a news article he had recently seen about "Hynix stock price, 460 won." This referred to a story about former Minister Kim Moon-soo, who purchased Hynix stock over 20 years ago and achieved a 100-fold return.

However, Kim Jong-kook expressed his distrust in HAHA, saying, "I really cannot believe it because you are the one who saw it." Kim Jong-kook also remained skeptical about HAHA's claim that David Beckham's transfer rumors were from 2003.

At the same time, Yu Jae-seok disciplined his junior Jee Seokjin for not following instructions. Because Jee Seokjin would not do as he was told, Yu Jae-seok even gathered all of their peers.

The peers, with a combined age of 169, shouted, "Peers are one," and performed disciplinary exercises, bringing laughter to the set.

The Comedian team saw a great performance from "Yukipedia" Yu Jae-seok. Yu Jae-seok led the selection process by recalling memories associated with each item.

He drew admiration by correctly guessing the year based on when Kim Yuna was active and appeared on "Infinite Challenge," and by recalling past gifts he had received and trends in soccer uniforms to select the correct answers.

Ultimately, the Comedian team took the victory. The Entertainer team missed the correct answers by ignoring HAHA, who had guessed correctly, leading to his frustration.

Before the losing Entertainer team carried out their penalty, the production team announced that the penalty transfer ticket held by Yu Jae-seok was valid until today, allowing him to convert it into a penalty exemption ticket. Yu Jae-seok requested that they create a "lucky draw" exemption ticket, and the Entertainer team members each made their selections.

As a result, HAHA, who had been unfairly treated all day, was exempted from the penalty, while the rest of the team members had to experience Jo Hye-ryun's Tae-bo workout, which lasted 27 minutes and 56 seconds, causing much laughter.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, congratulatory messages from stars celebrating the 16th anniversary of "Running Man" were revealed. Actors such as Yoo Yeonseok, Heo Nam-jun, and CORTIS sent messages, drawing attention.

In particular, Yoo Yeonseok and Heo Nam-jun expressed their desire to play games with the "Running Man" cast, raising expectations for their future appearances.

"Running Man" went on a trip down memory lane.

On the episode of the SBS show "Running Man" that aired on the 12th, the cast members were seen traveling back to 1995.

During the broadcast, Yu Jae-seok gave a thumbs up to Ji Ye-eun, who recreated the 1990s makeup style of Kim Hee-sun, saying, "Ye-eun did a great job with the historical accuracy."

In response, Ji Ye-eun joked, "This is the makeup Jong Kook sunbaenim's old girlfriend used to wear," and the other members stopped her, saying, "Hey, hey, he is a newlywed."

Watching Ji Ye-eun, Jee Seokjin said, "My wife wore this exact makeup when we were dating," expressing his delight. HAHA added, "The older brothers are getting excited looking at Ye-eun's makeup," to which Ji Ye-eun replied, "They really fell for me."

HAHA then mentioned a famous club from that era, saying, "I almost ran to Juliana." Jee Seokjin chimed in, "Everyone looked like that when they went to Juliana back then."

Watching this, Yu Jae-seok suddenly summoned memories of the past, causing laughter as he said, "Are the older brothers and sisters who were there doing well? We have aged so much. Thank you for giving us rides when you lived far away. I haven't forgotten the sister who drove the Le Mans racer."

Song Eun-i also recalled the waiters from that time, saying, "Thank you to the 'Pig Mom' waiter who gave us credit when we were broke," and Jee Seokjin reminisced, "The waiter at the Seolleongtang place back then was named 'Dadaegi'. Dadaegi always greeted us."

Comedians have taken a trip back in time to 1995.

On the July 12 episode of SBS's "Running Man," the cast returned to the year 1995.

In the episode, Yu Jae-seok returned to the comedy room of 1995 to wait for his juniors. Jee Seokjin was the first to appear.

When Yu Jae-seok treated him like a junior, Jee Seokjin asked, "Didn't you call me 'hyung' when it was just the two of us?" Yu Jae-seok replied, "We're at the broadcasting station, after all," and ordered him to run a coffee errand, saying, "Go get me a cup of coffee."

To the grumbling Jee Seokjin, Yu Jae-seok added detailed instructions that drew laughter: "And make it Solomon's seal tea, but make it light. Don't leave the tea bag in; take it out and put it back in."

Jee Seokjin had previously mentioned his peers, Jo Hye-ryun and Song Eun-i, in an earlier broadcast. Yu Jae-seok then called in the juniors, and Jo Hye-ryun and Song Eun-i appeared as guests.

Upon hearing that they were going back to 1995, Song Eun-i recalled the past, saying, "Oh, I hate it. You have no idea how arrogant Jae-seok was back then," drawing attention.

However, unable to delay any longer, Song Eun-i and Jo Hye-ryun entered the comedy room. Seeing Jo Hye-ryun's 1995-style makeup, Yu Jae-seok asked, "Wait, are you a director? Or are you Eun-i's mom?"

Jee Seokjin also added, "The lips... seeing those lips really brings back memories of that time," reflecting on the memories he shared with his peers.

'Unanswered Questions' Investigates the Dark Reality of 2026 Schools: 'Are Our Schools Safe?'

star@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 07:02:00 +0900

[Kim Hyo-jung Editor] The reality of 'Teach You a Lesson' has been exposed.

On the July 11 broadcast of SBS 'Unanswered Questions', the current state of the education field in 2026 was investigated.

In April, a teacher at an elementary school in Jeju was horrified to find a sticky, foul-smelling liquid in a tumbler they had cleaned the day before. An investigation revealed it was semen.

The teacher took sick leave due to anxiety and fear. However, two months later, while a substitute teacher was conducting class in the same room, someone broke in again. This time, they left traces of urine on the teacher's chair.

The culprit was a 16-year-old male student from a nearby high school. He denied intent, claiming he entered the elementary school because he needed to use the restroom. However, the victim was left in fear, wondering why this was done to them twice. Because the perpetrator is a minor under 16, his name, face, and true motives remain unknown, further fueling the victim's anxiety.

Schools today are witnessing events darker and more cruel than any drama. Last year, a middle school teacher in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, was sued for child abuse.

The child's grandmother called the teacher, expressing her anger by saying, "I cannot let anyone treat a child I raised with more than the value of two apartments poorly." The next day, the child's parents filed a complaint, alleging that the teacher forced the child to stand in the heat and dragged them to the second-floor office by their ear.

However, this was completely different from the teacher's recollection. The teacher held a meeting with the parents the next day to clarify the facts. The parents became agitated, shouting at the teacher to answer only yes or no to their questions, as if they were interrogating them.

The parents, who demanded CCTV footage, sued the teacher using the footage and witnesses. Despite the police explaining that the CCTV footage did not constitute abuse, the parents refused to back down. In November of last year, the court ruled that there was no evidence of child abuse against the teacher.

However, the parents later filed an application for judicial review, and when that was dismissed, they filed a second complaint in April for assault and insult. The parents are also engaging in secondary victimization of the teachers. Furthermore, they even filed a complaint regarding the teacher's actions to the National Assembly through an acquaintance who is a parliamentary aide.

In a Busan elementary school, a student sexually harassed and assaulted classmates. The student also cursed at and insulted the teacher and their family. The teacher notified the parents of the problematic behavior multiple times, asking for guidance at home.

The parents claimed they would discipline the child well, while questioning if the teacher held a bias against their child.

As similar incidents continued, the Office of Education's deliberation committee was held, and a mandatory transfer was ordered after two months. The parents, who had previously asked for a school violence committee to be held to ensure the child received proper guidance, changed their tune. They demanded a judicial review of the mandatory transfer, reported the teacher for child abuse, and painted the other students in the class as if they were the perpetrators. This has led to a lawsuit that has been ongoing for two years.

The parents, who continue to pursue repeated lawsuits, expressed their shocking inner thoughts, saying, "I don't know if I should say this, but I want to crush the teacher."

With 700 child abuse reports against teachers per year and cruel acts occurring out of sight, it is a tragic reality that child abuse lawsuits have become a tool for harassment by parents.

'Agent Kim Reactivated' Star So Jisub Tells MINJI, "Daddy's Here, Let's Go Home"

star@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 06:34:00 +0900

So Jisub has finally reunited with MINJI.

In the July 11 episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," the story followed Agent Kim Reactivated as he arrived at the Special Task Bureau headquarters to find MINJI.

On this day, Joo Gang-chan interrogated MINJI, asking why she was there. MINJI made up an excuse, saying she woke up in a cold storage warehouse and could not remember why she was there.

Joo Gang-chan then asked what she saw in the warehouse and if she had met anyone. MINJI replied, "I saw a gangster-like man I had never seen before." When asked if they had talked, she said, "No, he suddenly chased me with a knife, so I ran away. He shouted something from behind, but I could not hear it because of the rain."

MINJI then asked, "Could I borrow your phone? I want to ask my dad to come pick me up." Joo Gang-chan refused. When MINJI asked why, Joo Gang-chan replied, "Because our Hye-ri tried to kill you. So, what should I, as a father, do?" which left MINJI trembling in fear.

MINJI claimed she knew nothing and could not remember. However, Joo Gang-chan saw right through her, saying, "Maybe it is because you are still a student, but you are clumsy at hiding your emotions, and you are also clumsy at lying about losing your memory."

Joo Gang-chan continued, "I knew everything. Ever since you pretended to be asleep as soon as you got in the car." He added chillingly, "I cherish and love our Hye-ri very much, so I want to cover up any mistakes she makes. And honestly, if you think about it, it is not really a big mistake."

Joo Gang-chan then said, "So, I will settle it like this. A case where a gangster kidnapped a high school girl named MINJI and they both went missing. Since the gangster is missing, then only the student MINJI needs to disappear from the world." This plunged MINJI into terror.

MINJI struggled, saying she did not want that. Just then, the doorbell rang. Special Task Bureau agents had arrived to find MINJI. Joo Gang-chan locked MINJI in the basement.

Ddang-gangaji and Joo Gang-chan clashed, and Ddang-gangaji left Joo Gang-chan's villa with his subordinates.

A moment later, Jeong Sang-ah and Mr. Im appeared before Ddang-gangaji with MINJI. Previously, Ddang-gangaji had ordered them to extract MINJI. Ddang-gangaji then took MINJI and left.

Not knowing where she was headed, MINJI trembled in fear and said, "Excuse me, thank you. But who are you? Where are you taking me right now? Please let me contact my dad. If not, I am getting off." The agent replied, "Calm down, student MINJI. We are going to a safe place," and made MINJI fall asleep.

At that moment, Agent Kim Reactivated, who found out that MINJI and the Special Task Bureau agents were on the move, contacted them via radio. Agent Kim Reactivated said, "MINJI. Can you hear Daddy's voice? It is okay, I will come to pick you up soon."

Agent Kim Reactivated also warned Ddang-gangaji, "If you touch even a single hair on my daughter's head, you will all die," adding, "I said I would walk in myself once I found my daughter. Finding my daughter comes first. I will send you a gift in advance, so wait."

MINJI was moved to the Special Task Bureau headquarters. Agent Kim Reactivated tracked MINJI with his friends. He tried to rescue MINJI by sending his friends ahead of him.

However, due to the interference of the Special Task Bureau, MINJI, Seong Han-soo, and Park Jin-cheol could not leave the headquarters. At that moment, the National Security Vice Minister ordered everyone to lower the guns they were aiming at them. The National Security Vice Minister appeared trembling in fear. The reason for his fear was revealed.

Agent Kim Reactivated was strangling the National Security Vice Minister with a thin string like a fishing line. Seeing this, Agent Kim Reactivated said to MINJI, "MINJI, Daddy is here, let's go home now," raising curiosity about whether he would be able to escape safely with MINJI.

'Agent Kim Reactivated' So Jisub, 'I Must Find MINJI to End This' SOS to the Special Task Force... Will He Be Able to Save Seo Su-min, Who Walked Right Into Joo Gang-chan's Hands?

Can So Jisub find and protect Seo Su-min from those chasing him?

In the July 10th episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," the story followed Agent Kim as he discovered that MINJI is still alive.

On this day, Agent Kim revealed the truth to Park Gang-seong, who was furious due to misunderstandings about him. Park Yeong-gwang was not killed by Agent Kim, but was sacrificed due to Ri Eung-ryeong's greed.

Park Yeong-gwang and Agent Kim were each other's only friends. Heartbroken by Park Yeong-gwang's fatal injuries, Agent Kim attempted to take his own life, saying, "I would rather die than live alone and become a prisoner. Let's go together so you won't be lonely on your journey, comrade."

However, Park Yeong-gwang stopped him, saying, "Don't die. How did we endure that hellish life? Wasn't it to survive?" He then pleaded, "This is my last request. No matter what happens, you must survive."

In the end, Park Yeong-gwang met his death, and Agent Kim, taking his words to heart, became codename 66 to remember him.

Park Gang-seong was shaken after hearing Agent Kim's story, but it was difficult to easily erase his anger.

Agent Kim said, "Survive. No matter what happens, survive." This was what Park Yeong-gwang had told Park Gang-seong when they parted ways. Park Gang-seong was reminded of his brother. Agent Kim then added, "66, no, Yeong-gwang, that was the last thing he said to me too. So, survive," drawing attention.

At the same time, MINJI, avoiding "Gold Tooth," locked herself back in the cold storage. She steeled her resolve, saying, "I won't die, Dad. I will definitely survive and return home."

She then attacked "Gold Tooth" and his henchmen one by one as they tried to harm her, and escaped from the cold storage.

A short while later, Agent Kim entered the cold storage while desperately searching for MINJI. There, he saw a message left by MINJI that read, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm scared," and became certain that she was alive.

Agent Kim wandered through the heavy rain searching for MINJI. Meanwhile, MINJI was desperately fleeing from the group of Joo Gang-chan, who were surrounding the harbor. Thus, MINJI and Agent Kim missed each other.

Agent Kim climbed onto a container box to look for MINJI. Finally, he spotted her running away. He shouted, "MINJI, MINJI, it's Dad!" but his voice was drowned out by the heavy rain, and MINJI escaped the harbor.

While chasing after MINJI, Agent Kim discovered CCTV cameras at a location where he suspected she might have disappeared. He called Jeong Sang-ah and Mr. Im, asking them to track the CCTV footage.

He said, "We'll find out where MINJI is. Everything ends once I find her. So please contact me if you find her. I'm begging you," drawing attention.

Ddang-gang-aji was furious at this. However, the Special Task Force agents took Agent Kim's side, saying, "Agent Kim will definitely turn himself in once he finds his daughter. He is a man who keeps his word."

Ddang-gang-aji then said, "Then that means his daughter is his weakness. Find the location of Agent Kim's daughter immediately. We will secure her as a hostage first," shifting the target of the pursuit from Agent Kim to MINJI.

Previously, MINJI had asked passing vehicles for help. The person who showed her kindness was none other than Joo Gang-chan.

MINJI, who ended up riding in Joo Gang-chan's car, fell asleep from exhaustion. Seeing this, Joo Gang-chan remarked, "An unexpected windfall. It's true that our Hye-ri was born with good luck. To think she would walk right into our hands like this," raising curiosity about what will happen to MINJI, Joo Gang-chan, and Joo Hye-ri.

Amnesiac Prosecutor Meets a Self-Proclaimed Boyfriend: Jung Hae-in & Hayoung's 'Our Sticky Love' Set for August 7 Premiere

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 18:08:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Actors Jung Hae-in and Hayoung are set to captivate global viewers with an addictive, familiar-yet-fresh romantic comedy.

Netflix series "Our Sticky Love" (written by Mo Ji-hye, directed by Kim Jang-han) has confirmed its release date for August 7 and unveiled a teaser poster and trailer on July 10.

"Our Sticky Love" is a romantic comedy about the heart-fluttering cohabitation between elite prosecutor Go Eun-sae (played by Hayoung), who has lost her memory, and boxing coach Jang Tae-ha (played by Jung Hae-in), who insists he is her boyfriend.

The teaser poster released today highlights the contrast between Jang Tae-ha and Go Eun-sae against the backdrop of the quiet small town of "Goo-jin Yeot Village." It features Jang Tae-ha smiling in a way that is both affectionate and suspicious in the yard of a cozy country house, while Go Eun-sae looks on with a question mark hovering over her head.

The intense tagline, "No memories, no records. The only person I can trust is this man!" raises curiosity about the unpredictable events that will unfold for Go Eun-sae, who arrives in the unfamiliar Yeot Village following a man who claims to be her boyfriend after losing all her memories.

The teaser trailer, released alongside the poster, focuses on their spectacular first meeting and the mysterious narrative.

The trailer opens with Go Eun-sae’s charismatic past, where she arrives in a luxury sports car and confidently introduces herself: "I am Go Eun-sae, a prosecutor from the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office." This is followed by scenes of her being chased, the dark aura of Jang Tae-ha, and secret orders from crime boss Baek Sang-gil (played by Heo Sung-tae), sparking curiosity about the secrets hidden in their relationship.

The mood quickly shifts to comedy. Go Eun-sae wakes up in a hospital with amnesia and no identity, not even fingerprints to verify who she is. When she is confused about her own identity, Jang Tae-ha appears and drops a bombshell: "Don't you know who I am? I'm your boyfriend," signaling the start of an unusual connection.

A comedic highlight is Go Eun-sae’s reaction to the disheveled Jang Tae-ha, as she denies reality, thinking, "There is no way he is my boyfriend." Unable to believe his claim that he has been persistently following her since they first met in the mountains, she sighs, "In other words, I'm screwed, aren't I?" Expectations are high for the chemistry between the two as they track down whether the identity of the self-proclaimed "boyfriend" is true or false in a situation where she has no memories or traces of her past.

The Netflix series "Our Sticky Love," which has raised expectations with the fresh pairing of "rom-com master" Jung Hae-in and Hayoung, consists of 12 episodes and will be released on Netflix on August 7.

"Is AI Really This Close?" Kim Jong-kook, the 'Analog Man,' Gets a Reality Check on AI in Daily Life

newsservice@sbs.co.kr(SBS Star) — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:56:00 +0900

▶ SBS News App Download

Kim Jong-kook, a representative 'analog human' in the entertainment industry, is stepping into the surprising world of AI.

The SBS special documentary "Life of AI," airing on the 12th, will feature Kim Jong-kook meeting people who utilize 'my own AI' in various fields such as art, daily life, and robotics, shedding light on the scalability of technology and the possibilities of future society.

During a recent shoot, Kim Jong-kook appeared at the Galaxy Robot Park and experienced a massive culture shock from the start. He could not hide his surprise as he watched humanoid robots on stage dancing perfectly to K-pop songs.

In fact, despite serving as an ambassador for an AI competition, he is an 'AI novice' who does not know much about AI himself. Skeptical about the AI craze, asking, "Is AI really this close?" Kim Jong-kook set out on a full-scale experience by tracking the AI-integrated daily lives of ordinary neighbors.

The changes in the art field, which are shifting the paradigm of creation, were particularly notable. Various cases were featured, ranging from an AI film director who implements desired scenes with LED screens instead of a set, to an entertainment agency employee who completes idol concepts with AI prompts, a writer who overcame the threat of COVID-related layoffs with AI, and a new media artist who presents modern art with physical AI.

Stimulated by this, Kim Jong-kook, a representative fitness enthusiast in the entertainment industry, also had AI recommend a customized workout routine and set out to verify it. Curiosity is rising as to whether AI can satisfy the high standards of the notoriously meticulous 'Coach Kook,' and a special word from AI that perfectly takes charge of moments when one does not want to work out will also be revealed.

As the experience continued, it was proven that AI is a tool already deeply embedded in our daily lives. Examples included a one-person creator who developed an app that was difficult to make alone using AI Vibe Coding, a senior who found a new hobby by creating fairy tale books with AI for their grandchildren, and a doctor who manages 500 patients closely based on AI data. In addition, the heated scene of the 'National AI Competition,' where anyone can participate regardless of their major to compete for a total prize of approximately 3 billion KRW, was also captured.

Going further, future-oriented physical AI that will change the world is also unveiled. The quadruped robot developed by the KAIST research team demonstrated autonomous walking even on rough terrain, foreshadowing a future where it will play an active role in industrial and disaster sites where human access is difficult, and a strawberry harvesting robot from an agricultural startup announced its appearance as a savior for the labor shortage in farming villages.

Attention is focused on what answer Kim Jong-kook, who faced infinite possibilities while experiencing unfamiliar technology firsthand, will reach at the end of his special day with AI.

The SBS special documentary "Life of AI," which contains the vivid entry story of 'AI novice' Kim Jong-kook and insights into future society, will be broadcast on Sunday, the 12th, at 10:50 AM.

'Running Man' Yu Jae-seok Turns Into a Strict Senior, Disciplining Song Eun-i, Jo Hye-ryun, and Jee Seokjin

On the upcoming episode of "Running Man" airing this Sunday, July 12, Yu Jae-seok will transform into a strict discipline captain for his fellow comedians, Song Eun-i, Jo Hye-ryun, and Jee Seokjin.

The episode will feature the "Holding onto the End of This Memory" race, which brings back memories from 1995 alongside guests Song Eun-i and Jo Hye-ryun.

The recent recording featured guests Song Eun-i and Jo Hye-ryun, both from the 10th class of KBS comedians, who were called in by their fellow 10th class peer Jee Seokjin and 7th class senior Yu Jae-seok. The four of them appeared in outfits that perfectly recreated 1995 fashion, instantly bringing back the atmosphere of that era.

Yu Jae-seok, the most senior among them, drew laughter by gathering his juniors, making them link arms and chant "Comrades are one," and even putting them through military-style discipline. Yang Sechan, who is a much younger junior, showed a side of himself rarely seen on the show as he became increasingly quiet in the face of the seasoned comedians' sharp wit, causing the set to erupt in laughter.

Meanwhile, the "Running Man" members also added to the immersion by dressing in outfits and makeup from 1995. Kim Jong-kook wore the same outfit he wore during his debut days with Turbo and even performed the group's signature choreography. Seeing this, Jee Seokjin burst into laughter, asking, "Why did Turbo come back as an old man?" Ji Ye-eun surprised everyone by perfectly recreating the 90s style of actor Kim Hee-sun, but Yu Jae-seok continued to tease the youngest member, saying, "That is not Kim Hee-sun, that is Kim Hwi-sun."

The race was divided into a comedian team and an entertainer team, with the members competing to guess nostalgic items representing specific years. The members were fully immersed in the atmosphere of the era, sharing various personal anecdotes and keeping the set filled with laughter.

Jee Seokjin recalled the night club waiters of the past, saying, "The friends I remember were the waiters 'Seolleongtang' and his assistant 'Dadaegi'," and even delivered a message of gratitude for the first time in decades, turning the set into a sea of laughter.

This race, filled with the seasoned chemistry and nostalgic stories of the comedians, will be revealed on "Running Man," which airs on Sunday, July 12, at 6:10 PM.
