Actor So Jisub recently opened up about the success of "Agent Kim Reactivated," along with the weight and responsibility he feels entering his 30th year since debut.

On August 18, global media platform BoldPage released a pictorial and interview titled "Global Q's," which was conducted directly by overseas global editors with So Jisub.

Speaking about the widely loved SBS drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," So Jisub shared with a smile, "There are many generations who haven't seen 'I'm Sorry, I Love You,' but because so many different generations watched 'Agent Kim Reactivated' this time, these days people call me by the name 'Agent Kim' the most rather than my own name." Regarding why he chose the project, he explained, "Rather than the action itself, I liked the narrative behind Agent Kim and the environment he lived in."

He also talked about his hit project "I'm Sorry, I Love You," which is still loved overseas and famously referred to as a source of "K-trauma." He remarked, "It's fascinating how people can feel the same emotions together, even when languages are different." He added a witty warning for those who haven't watched it yet, saying, "Since it's a sad ending, you could be in big trouble if you carelessly click on it without thinking. It might leave you feeling sad for a while."

So Jisub also shared his thoughts on the plans for a potential second season of "Agent Kim Reactivated" that many fans are anticipating. He raised expectations by stating, "Instead of an episodic format, I hope there is one overarching main storyline. I am not sure how we will prepare for it. Depending on that, Agent Kim's role will also change a little bit. Then I think we will be able to show various things within that. We will probably move as a team? First of all, the worldview is just too big."

Entering his 30th year in his acting career, So Jisub confessed that his burden when approaching projects has actually increased. He said, "I don't seem to let things go very easily in certain aspects. Because if a single project goes wrong, it can cause harm to so many people, so I always have to be careful and pay close attention."

He went on to share his honest thoughts on living life as a star. When asked what it is like to spend a lifetime as a public figure known to the masses, So Jisub expressed his deep concerns, saying, "It is something to be grateful for. But the good parts are 51%? And the things that aren't are 49%. I think it's definitely not an easy life. That weight and difficulty seem to get heavier as time goes on. Now, it doesn't just end within Korea; many people overseas also show love and react to it. Especially as lead actors, I think there is a clear sense of responsibility that comes with that."

As the young men and women of "Love Against Time" confirm their mutual feelings through bucket-list dates, their romance lines have begun to shake up due to the "time" they handed to each other.

On the 3rd episode of the SBS program "Love Against Time" broadcast on the 17th, the cast members went on bucket-list dates they had dreamed of while battling illness, experiencing extreme emotional shifts.

During their date, Kim Jong-eun and Seo Robin created a pink-tinted atmosphere while heading to a restaurant after a table tennis date, with Kim Jong-eun directly putting an outer jacket on Seo Robin. Seo Robin felt a flutter, thinking, "Could this also be an expression of feelings?" However, after checking that the time received from Kim Jong-eun after the date was "0 minutes," Seo Robin could not hide the shock, saying, "I was so upset."

For Kang Min-young, who lacks memories of school days due to childhood illness, Kim Seon-ho fulfilled a bucket-list date of wearing school uniforms and eating instant tteokbokki. The two captured each other with a vintage camcorder, creating a sweet atmosphere. However, Kim Seon-ho mentioned an awkward moment using Kang Min-young's tone of voice, creating a subtle awkwardness, and afterward, Kang Min-young expressed disappointment upon confirming that the time received from Kim Seon-ho was "0 minutes."

Han Do-gon and Kim Na-young created a soft, warm atmosphere through an LP bar and outdoor street tent date. At Kim Na-young's direct flirting question, "Do you actively flirt?" Host YENA also cheered, saying, "The chemistry of the 'Nagon' couple is so good." However, when Han Do-gon did not receive any time during the subsequent date with Seo Robin, Han Do-gon expressed bitterness, saying, "You must not have any thoughts about me."

Unusual currents also swirled around the relationship between Kim Seon-ho and Jung Ye-ji, which had drawn attention for their movie-like connection. Even after a romantic atmosphere, when Jung Ye-ji asked whether he would go straight to one person, Kim Seon-ho showed an ambiguous attitude and left behind a misleading remark right after the date, saying, "Today feels exceptionally long," drawing sighs from the MCs. In the end, the two exchanged the exact same "50 minutes" as last time, failing to reach certainty.

At the end of the broadcast, the disclosure of the youths' ages and occupations was previewed, raising expectations for the next broadcast.

The SBS romance reality show "Love Against Time" airs every Monday at 10 PM.

The fourth installment of the "Tazza" series, the movie "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub," has confirmed its theatrical release for September 23 (Wednesday), the day before the start of the Chuseok holiday.

"Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" is a crime film about Jang Tae-young (Byun Yo-han), who thought he had the world in his hands through an online casino business, and his close friend of the same name, Park Tae-young (Noh Jae-won), who took everything away from him, as they reunite in a global gambling ring for a fateful showdown of revenge. The film stars Byun Yo-han, Roh Jae-won, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Jo Woo Jin.

This work is the final installment of the "Tazza" series, based on Huh Young-man's original manga, celebrating its 20th anniversary. After the film adaptation was confirmed, during a meeting with director Choi Kook-hee, author Huh Young-man picked "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" as his favorite story in the entire series.

Director Choi Kook-hee, who helmed the film, recalled that day, saying, "I remember asking back then why such a great manga wasn't being made into a film. That made me think I needed to make it even better."

Unlike the previous three films, "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" deeply delves into the relationship between two friends. The subtitle "The Song of Beelzebub" is taken directly from the original manga. Among the works presented by the nationally beloved Huh Young-man, who has showcased various works over the past 52 years, "The Song of Beelzebub" boasts the most solid fan base.

Religious people in medieval Europe considered cards to be tools of the devil, with hearts representing desire, diamonds representing greed, and clubs representing violence. The 13 spade cards, which symbolize death, were each named after a demon, with the Ace of Spades being Lucifer, the fallen angel who fell to hell, and the 2 of Spades being Beelzebub, the former ruler of hell. Among the two demons who gambled everything, Beelzebub, who lost, was reduced to a blowfly.

Roh Jae-won, who plays a leading role, explained the meaning of the title, saying, "The movie begins with Park Tae-young telling the story of how two demons gambled everything they had, and Beelzebub, who lost, turned into a blowfly."

The grand finale of the "Tazza" series, "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub," will be available in theaters on September 23.

Following concerns from fans after she was seen shaking and looking flustered during a festival performance, BLACKPINK member JENNIE has shared a long reflection on her social media looking back on her journey over the past three months.

On August 17, JENNIE posted on her social media account, saying, "I am truly grateful for the love and energy sent to me at every festival over the past three months. It is hard to put into words how much I experienced, learned, and grew during that time." She added, "Looking back, there were so many unexpected moments, and both good times and tough times. I've come to realize that those things are ultimately part of life. Not everything can be perfect, and perhaps it doesn't even need to be perfect from the start."

She showed a mature side by stating, "I am learning to accept even the difficult moments for what they are and to cherish this entire journey. Those moments have taught me so much and allowed me to grow."

Addressing the staff who worked with her for three months, JENNIE said, "None of this moment would have been possible without the truly wonderful people who created the stage with me. Thank you so much for pouring endless effort and passion into every performance and giving your all."

Finally, she greeted fans by saying, "I am now wrapping up this chapter with a lot of love, gratitude, and new inspiration," and added, "Thank you for being part of this journey with me."

Following her performance in Tokyo on August 14, JENNIE took the stage at "Summer Sonic 2026" in Osaka on August 16, which marked the final stop of her festival tour. Footage from the event showed JENNIE repeatedly adjusting her outfit and quickly fixing her top by turning around during the performance. She was also caught gesturing to the staff as if there was an issue with her microphone.

In particular, cameras captured her biting her lip to compose herself and brushing back her hair with shaking hands, raising concerns among fans. JENNIE directly explained to the audience during the show that there was an issue with her outfit, asking for their understanding due to the hotter-than-expected weather and sweat before continuing her performance. She also showed tears, appearing overwhelmed with emotion during her final goodbyes.

Meanwhile, JENNIE has performed at major festivals around the world, including ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026, The Governors Ball Music Festival, Roskilde Festival, Open'er Festival, Mad Cool Festival, Lollapalooza Chicago, and Summer Sonic. On August 8, celebrating BLACKPINK's 10th anniversary since debut, she met with domestic fans by attending a fan event held at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul alongside JISOO, ROSÉ, and LISA.

Actor Yoo Ah-in is returning to the screen with the film "Vampire," breaking a hiatus of about three years. This comes about a year and a half after he suspended his activities following a guilty verdict for habitual illegal drug use.

Investment and distribution company NEW announced on the morning of the 18th that "Vampire" has completed its casting lineup and will begin full-scale filming in August.

"Vampire" is a mystery occult film that tells the story of an unidentified hitman who takes on a request from a clergyman and pursues an unidentifiable cult group. It is the new work of director Jang Jae-hyun, who has presented unrivaled storytelling and solid directing skills in every project, including "Exhuma," "Svaha: The Sixth Finger," and "The Priests."

The recent script reading session was attended by the key figures who will lead "Vampire," including director Jang Jae-hyun, Yoo Ah-in, Lee Sung-min, Lee Jun-hyuk, Doi, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Choi Hyun-wook.

Yoo Ah-in plays a hitman who chases after the cult group. He is a bold character who remains unfazed in any situation, and he is set to portray the process of gradually changing as he encounters unidentified beings.

Previously, Yoo Ah-in was brought to trial on charges including habitual use of medical propofol and smoking marijuana, and was sentenced to one year in prison with two years of probation. His probation period runs until July 2027.

Yoo Ah-in, who had been drawing attention since the casting stage, faces another test amidst the critical gazes of the public. Although he is an actor whose acting skills are undisputed, he must overcome the negative public sentiment surrounding his somewhat early return through his acting and passion.

Lee Sung-min transforms into a clergyman who broke taboos for his beliefs. Based on his solid acting foundation, he anchors the center of the film by deeply portraying a character agonizing between responsibility and guilt.

Lee Jun-hyuk delivers a striking transformation as a cult member who yearns for eternal life. He is raising expectations to overwhelm the screen with his sharp aura as a mysterious character.

Rookie Doi has been selected for the role of the veiled girl. Having been chosen after a fierce audition, she is set to radiate fresh energy and leave a strong impression. Yoon Kyung-ho plays the smuggling broker who ends up accompanying the cult. Yoon Kyung-ho will add vitality to the film with his signature realistic acting.

Choi Hyun-wook joins as a U.S. military second lieutenant with a suspicious purpose. He is expected to add intense tension to the film through dimensional acting that meticulously expresses even the finest emotions.

Director Jang Jae-hyun's new film "Vampire," which has confirmed its main casting and entered full-scale preparation for filming, is scheduled for theatrical release in 2028.

Jeong Ye-ji and Kim Seon-ho shared a date that left them with mixed feelings.

On the August 17 broadcast of SBS "Love Against Time", the female cast members went on their second dates based on their bucket lists.

The broadcast revealed the second date between Kim Seon-ho and Jeong Ye-ji. Jeong Ye-ji brought Kim Seon-ho to a cake shop.

Jeong Ye-ji explained her date plan, saying, "I wanted to try my bucket list items from when I was fighting my illness. We decided to eat the strawberry cake I wanted to have back then together."

After picking up the cake, the date officially began as Jeong Ye-ji headed to the second place she wanted to go with Kim Seon-ho. At a retro neighborhood pub, the two drank together and had an honest conversation.

Kim Seon-ho expressed concern when Jeong Ye-ji ordered spicy chicken feet. Jeong Ye-ji told him she was fine, and Kim Seon-ho looked at her with his signature piercing gaze, showing his worry.

Watching this, Jung Yong-hwa remarked, "It looked just like that scene with senior Gang Dongwon in 'Temptation of Wolves'," and asked the production team to play it back. The panelists made a fuss over the replayed gaze of Kim Seon-ho, bringing laughter to the room.

Earlier in the house, the participants had talked about preferring older or younger partners in romance. Jeong Ye-ji asked Kim Seon-ho why he preferred people his age or younger.

Kim Seon-ho replied that since he thinks about marriage when dating, he simply prefers people his age or younger for realistic reasons.

Jeong Ye-ji also shared that because she has a younger brother, she hadn't preferred younger men, but many things changed after entering the house, hinting that Kim Seon-ho had influenced those thoughts.

Questioning Kim Seon-ho's attitude after their previous date, Jeong Ye-ji asked, "How do you want to do this? Are you going to go straight for one person or get to know multiple people?"

Kim Seon-ho caught attention by answering, "I have the mindset to do my best with the given time first. There might be someone who is truly a great match."

Hearing this, Jeong Ye-ji trailed off, saying, "I guess.. Ah, this is hard. Before coming in, I thought we should talk to various people and then make up our minds." She then concluded the conversation while carefully keeping her true feelings suppressed, adding, "We'll still talk though. We shouldn't have any regrets."

After their 100-minute date, which left lingering regrets, the two realized that they had each spent 50 minutes on someone else today.

Feeling bitter, Jeong Ye-ji said, "They must be interested in someone else. It made me realize we don't have 100% certainty in each other."

Kim Seon-ho also shared his honest thoughts, saying, "Who was that other person? Or was it not just one person, but several others?" He added, "It felt a bit disheartening."

Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast previewed the revelation of the participants' personal information, raising curiosity about how their feelings might change afterward.

Kim Ryun-gi shared his honest concerns.

On the August 17 broadcast of SBS's "Love Against Time", the second round of dates took place.

That day, Kim Ryun-gi, who stayed behind alone at the house, had his first one-on-one conversation with Kim Na-young.

He confessed, "I feel like I'm still not fully matured. Meeting someone when you haven't fully healed is tough, and I feel a sense of guilt. I kept thinking, 'If the person I'm meeting were dating someone healthy, they could have a much more fun and happy relationship. Why would they bother with someone like me?'"

He continued honestly, "You can't ignore basic things like meals that couples usually have. Of course, you wouldn't go out and drink yourself to death with a partner, but coming in with that kind of lifestyle already part of the equation, it's a concern I keep facing. Those worries don't go away; they actually keep getting brought up, so I think I've been overthinking it. Especially after going out once yesterday, those feelings became really overwhelming."

In response, Kim Na-young shared her own experience, saying, "If anything, we worry way more than other people do. Turns out the other person wasn't even thinking that way at all."

She continued, "I was letting my imagination run wild all by myself, oh goodness. You're already physically exhausted as it is. Hearing things like that made me realize that I was really getting too far ahead of myself and torturing myself," offering comforting words to Kim Ryun-gi based on her own experience and drawing attention.

Seo Robin enjoyed a bucket list date with Kim Jong-eun.

On the August 17 broadcast of the SBS program "Love Against Time", the cast members were shown enjoying their second dates.

On this day, Seo Robin and Kim Jong-eun played a game of table tennis with a wish ticket on the line. The loser agreed to grant a wish to the winner.

Ahead of the match, Seo Robin said, "I'm going to play for real, I'm nervous," and added, "It's better to play without going easy on each other, right?" expressing a serious determination to win.

In response, Kim Jong-eun rolled up her sleeves, and the table tennis match soon began. The winner was Kim Jong-eun.

Drawing attention, Seo Robin remarked, "I ended up losing. I lost, but I wanted to lose. So I was so happy that I lost."

Seo Robin expressed her fluttering feelings, saying, "I was so curious about what kind of wish Jong-eun would ask of me. That's why I was happy to lose."

However, as the date progressed, it became clear that their feelings were heading in very different directions. In particular, regarding Kim Jong-eun, who did not spare even 10 minutes for her, Seo Robin confessed her true feelings with a sense of disappointment, saying, "I expected it, but it felt directly like she didn't have any intention to spend even 10 minutes on me. It made me realize how little I was in Jong-eun's heart. It made me feel so upset."

Seo Robin showcased some slapstick comedy in order to protect her bucket list.

On the August 17 broadcast of SBS "Love Against Time," the female cast members were shown delivering their bucket lists to their dating partners.

On this day, the female cast members prepared bucket list dates to spend with the male cast members. To do this, they needed to drop an envelope containing their bucket lists into the mailboxes of their respective dating partners.

However, Han Do-gon and Kim Ryun-gi happened to be eating together in the dining room where the mailboxes were located. Because of this, the female cast members tried various ways to turn the two men's attention away and secretly place their bucket lists in the mailboxes.

Yet, turning the two men's attention elsewhere was not easy. At that moment, Seo Robin, not knowing who was in the dining room, rushed in holding her bucket list.

However, the bucket list in her hand fell to the floor, and to protect it, Seo Robin suddenly dropped flat to the ground, causing laughter.

In response, Kim Na-young protected Seo Robin with a fake reaction, asking, "Are you okay? Are you okay?" However, Han Do-gon remarked, "That didn't really look like a fall just now," and Seo Robin quickly brushed it off by saying, "No, no, it's not."

Even after this, Seo Robin could not leave the dining room and wandered around looking suspicious. Soon, other female cast members gathered one by one, and the panelists looked at Han Do-gon and Kim Ryun-gi with a hint of regret, asking, "Why aren't they getting up now that they've finished eating?" bringing laughter to viewers.

Singer Lyn's mother confessed about the things she felt disappointed about regarding Lyn.

On the August 16 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy", Lyn was shown traveling with her mother.

On this day, Lyn headed to Sokcho with her mother. In particular, this trip drew attention as it was their first trip together alone.

After finishing a Michelin tour led by Lyn, her mother headed to their final destination, a Sokcho ocean view hotel.

However, no hotel was in sight upon arrival. The ocean view hotel prepared by Lyn was actually a trunk hotel utilizing the trunk of her own car.

There, they ate food bought from the Sokcho market with her mother. With delivery food also prepared, a Sokcho squid feast was set up.

Enjoying the squid feast while taking in the ocean, Lyn said, "It would have been nice if Dad and my sister had come too." Naturally, the mother and daughter shared an honest conversation.

Asking her mother, who worried about her, not to worry too much, Lyn said, "I am so grateful to Mom, but Mom probably doesn't have anything to thank me for, right?"

In response, her mother smiled and said, "I gave birth to you, but I sometimes wonder how I managed to have such a daughter. Thank you for treating me so well. You are doing great."

Then Lyn said, "Tell me what you felt disappointed about with me, and I will fix it." Hearing this, her mother hesitated for a long time. Then she carefully opened up.

Lyn's mother mentioned Lyn's divorce, saying, "I was flustered and shocked because you just came and did that without even talking about it beforehand."

She continued, "Even if divorce isn't considered a stigma these days, a parent's heart isn't like that. It's best if you live well together, but at the same time, I wondered how much you must have struggled to make that choice," expressing her heartache for her daughter.

In response, Lyn promised, "Mom, I will live even better." Hearing this, her mother showed her trust in her daughter by saying, "I know. Mom believes in you."

On this day, Lyn mentioned "Mom's Dream", one of her songs that her mother likes the most. In response, her mother said, "But every time you sing that song, you cry, so on the other hand, I felt bad for you, even while liking it."

Hearing this, Lyn conveyed her true feelings, saying, "When I was writing the lyrics for this song, I texted Mom. I asked, 'Mom, what is your dream?' and you said it was for us to be healthy and happy. So I asked again what your dream for yourself was, and you said you had never thought about that. At that time, I felt touched realizing that Mom's dream as a mother was my happiness."

She then spontaneously performed "Mom's Dream" exclusively for her mother, deeply touching the hearts of viewers.

Actor Kim Seung-soo opened up about his harrowing battle with shingles.

On the August 16 broadcast of the SBS variety show "My Little Old Boy", Kim Seung-soo was featured discussing health concerns with fellow actor Kim Hyung-muk.

During the broadcast, Kim Seung-soo ate a health-boosting royal table meal prepared personally by his junior colleague Kim Hyung-muk, joking, "I have never received a meal like this in my entire life. Eating like this makes me feel like I could live to be 160 years old."

In response, Kim Hyung-muk asked, "Hyung, didn't you get shingles right before your drama started? You had shingles all over your face, didn't you?"

Kim Seung-soo shocked everyone by replying, "I thought I was going to die. Back then, my face was completely covered in blisters." He added, "It felt like someone was stabbing my face with a fork and scratching it. No matter how many painkillers I popped, I couldn't sleep."

Kim Seung-soo continued, recalling the terrifying situation: "Depending on where the virus attacks, that area's functions get paralyzed, and if it attacks the brain, it can even paralyze the body. I was told that the virus seemed to have attacked near my conjunctiva at the time. They said that if it reached the optic nerve, it would result in vision loss."

He shared, "I even thought, 'What if I actually go blind in one eye? How should I live then?' It made me look back on my life."

Listening to this, Shin Dong-yeob said, "I sat at the same table during Jun-ho's wedding and saw his face. He covered it with makeup back then so it wasn't as noticeable, but when he showed me a photo from when it was at its worst, it was the most severe case of shingles I had ever seen."

Kim Seung-soo's mother drew attention by saying, "He came to me after hearing that he could go blind, and he had a really hard time."

Yang Sechan could not escape Yu Jae-seok's deductive net.

On the August 16 broadcast of SBS "Running Man", the "Beating the Heat Cool-cation" race took place.

On this day, the members experienced a cave tour, body-nourishing food at a valley, a horror escape room, and an ice cafe experience to beat the sweltering heat.

They then split and paid the amounts they spent for the getaway. The final course totaled 307,000 won. Once the payment order was decided, Yu Jae-seok, who ended up in the very last turn, deduced who might have paid the lowest amount.

As payments proceeded in order, the production team revealed that the lowest payment amount was 0 won and that two people had paid the lowest amount.

In response, Yu Jae-seok welcomed the news, saying, "The probability actually got higher. That works out well." He then placed each member on the suspect list and used the process of elimination to deduce who paid the lowest amount.

First, Yu Jae-seok suspected Jee Seokjin. However, he quickly ruled him out, reasoning that Jee Seokjin, who had already taken the brunt of a penalty previously, had no reason to take another risk.

Next, Yu Jae-seok suspected Ji Ye-eun. Ji Ye-eun protested her innocence, saying, "Why would I bother doing that? I don't have the guts for it," and Yu Jae-seok found her explanation convincing.

Then Yu Jae-seok began staring down Yang Sechan. Yang Sechan expressed his frustration, saying, "Why is it always me whenever anything happens?" However, despite his protests of unfairness, not only his face but even his knees turned red as he looked flustered.

Yu Jae-seok also suspected Kim Ji-eun. Kim Ji-eun, who had actually paid the lowest amount, put on a brazen act of innocence, causing Yu Jae-seok to drop his suspicions.

Ahead of his final decision, Yu Jae-seok made eye contact with Yang Sechan. Convinced, he said, "I saw it. That gaze just now, avoiding my eyes. That look he gets when Sechan gets caught by me appeared," and became certain that Yang Sechan was the one who paid the lowest amount.

His prediction hit the mark. Regretful, Yang Sechan said, "I am never doing this again when this hyung is around."

Watching this, Kim Jong-kook expressed pity, asking why he would do something so meaningless. Yang Sechan drew laughter by reflecting, "I wanted to overcome this. To make it so Jae-seok-hyung couldn't find me out. But I couldn't overcome it, I'm not doing it anymore."

After all the missions concluded, the penalty recipients were selected. Despite having the most penalty balls, Jee Seokjin avoided the penalty, while Jung Eunji was selected despite ranking third, defying low odds to the audience's dismay.

As expected, Yang Sechan, who receives a penalty every week, was chosen as a penalty recipient once again, and his penalty mate Ji Ye-eun was also picked. They received the penalty of foot bathing in ice water while writing a thousand-character reflection essay.

Actor Kim Seok-hoon talked about receiving a gift after joining Yu Jae-seok's circle.

On the August 16 broadcast of SBS "My Little Old Boy," Kim Seok-hoon appeared as a special MC.

During the broadcast, Seo Jang-hoon introduced Kim Seok-hoon, saying, "He is famous among the MZ generation as the garbage ajussi, who picks up trash and reuses discarded items."

In response, Shin Dong-yeob asked him what the best thing he had ever picked up was. Kim Seok-hoon replied, "The item I picked up that I still use well these days is an air purifier. You just need to change the filter and use it. Many people throw away old things when new products come out."

He also gave a tip when asked which neighborhoods made it easy to find items in good condition, saying, "Places where people move frequently and many young middle-class people live, like Dongtan or Mapo, have a lot of them."

With Kim Seok-hoon earning the title of garbage ajussi and joining Yu Jae-seok's circle, Seo Jang-hoon asked, "I heard you tried to return the gift Yu Jae-seok sent you. What's the story behind that?"

Kim Seok-hoon explained, "Jae-seok sends gifts for the holidays, and he sent meat. The more luxurious it is, the more packaging there is, and it had five layers of packaging. There was too much disposable wrapping paper, so I called Jae-seok. I told him I don't like packaging and would prefer if he didn't send me anything like that starting next time, and he understood my philosophy," drawing attention.

Yang Sechan and Lee Juyeon showed off their same-age chemistry.

On the August 16 broadcast of SBS "Running Man", the "Scraping Vacation in the Scorching Heat" race unfolded.

On this day, Lee Juyeon made a return to the show after 8 years and was warmly welcomed by the members. In a previous broadcast, Lee Juyeon and Yang Sechan displayed their same-age chemistry and formed a bickering pseudo-romance.

In response, Jee Seokjin asked Lee Juyeon if she has been in love lately. Lee Juyeon replied, "Ah, I am not able to love right now," adding, "In the past, work came before love, but starting about a year ago, I want to be in love. I want to meet a good man soon. Isn't there anyone?"

Hearing this, Jee Seokjin said, "Sechan is here." Lee Juyeon drew a line, saying no. However, Haha chimed in jokingly, "Juyeon, you used to be an idol, right?" and added, "That is it, that is it," satisfying Yang Sechan's conditions for a dating partner.

Yang Sechan stopped Haha, saying, "You would think I only date idols." Hearing this, Lee Juyeon asked Yang Sechan if he is an idol killer. Jee Seokjin then said, "Not quite a killer, but there are rumors that he has dated idols."

At this, Lee Juyeon said, "Ah, I heard, I heard," and pressed Yang Sechan, asking, "Who is that?" Then, Lee Juyeon piqued curiosity by saying, "But I think I know who it is."

Then Yang Sechan hit back, saying, "I know who you met too. Shall I talk about it? Whose ripple effect would be bigger? I am not going to stay still right now either," causing Lee Juyeon to calm him down by saying, "Let's be quiet. Let's both be quiet," bringing laughter.

In response, Yang Sechan exclaimed, "He is really like the president of the Football Association," and Jee Seokjin chimed in, "Are you building it up?"

Kim Jong-kook brought laughter by sharing, "I met Min-jae, and even Min-jae told me, 'You should become the FA president.'" Kim Min-jae actually asked Kim Jong-kook if he had any thoughts of taking the role if the opportunity arose, to which Kim Jong-kook replied, "If it's for the development of Korean football, I would even use my own money."

Hearing this, the members applauded Kim Jong-kook and said, "Word has even spread that far. That's amazing, really amazing."

[Editor Kim Hyo-jung] Similar cases, yet drastically different endings: Why?

On the August 15 broadcast of SBS "Unanswered Questions", the program tracked the cases of two sexual violence victims.

At 3:00 a.m. on February 21, an emergency call was received by 119 in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province. A woman's voice stated that she no longer had the will to live and would make an extreme choice.

Danbi, a 20-year-old who dreamed of becoming a police officer, left a final farewell to her mother and jumped from a side where there was no air mat, leading to her death.

The sudden death of her daughter. It was later revealed that she had reported being sexually assaulted by the owner of the pub where she worked part-time, and that a decision not to send the case to prosecution had been made shortly before her death.

Around 4:00 a.m. on December 28 of last year, a staff gathering began at the pub where Danbi worked. Afterward, the other employees left early, leaving Danbi alone with the owner in his 40s. Danbi claimed that the owner then dragged her to a CCTV blind spot and sexually assaulted her.

However, two months later, the police decided not to send the case forward due to a lack of charges. The police judged that Danbi was not in a state of being unable to resist based on her appearance captured on CCTV, and that they had sexual relations by mutual agreement.

Danbi, who confessed to the sexual assault to a friend immediately after leaving the pub, went to report it with her friend afterward and even visited an obstetrics and gynecology clinic for an examination.

Yet, the police based their decision on the footage showing Danbi leaving the pub with a smile and the skinship between the two prior to the sexual relations, concluding there was consent. In particular, the quasi-rape charge filed by Danbi applies when a victim is unconscious, but the police judged that Danbi's state was not one of mental loss.

In response, the bereaved family pointed out that Danbi's medical records were omitted during the investigation process. They noted that Danbi was taking psychiatric medication for depression and other issues at the time.

An expert stated that when psychiatric medication and alcohol are consumed together, their interaction amplifies, which can paralyze judgment capabilities.

Another expert expressed regret, saying, "They concluded that it was difficult to recognize and take advantage of the victim's state of mental loss based on pre-encounter skinship and statements from companions. However, a process to verify whether the perpetrator's claims were true should have been carried out."

The expert added, "Since the two were in an employment relationship, the crime of rape by taking advantage of influence could have been thoroughly reviewed. Instead of dismissing it as not guilty right away, they should have examined whether a crime was established," noting that the police seemed to have made a hasty judgment.

In particular, the expert pointed out that taking the victim's statement while she was heavily intoxicated was the sole basis used, which was also regrettable.

Another victim, Jeong Yeon-su, stated she suffered group sexual assault when she was in her third year of middle school. After becoming an adult, she suffered extreme distress from the circulation of her victimization video and mustered the courage to file a complaint against the perpetrators.

However, the police decided not to send the case, citing the expiration of the statute of limitations for the assault and insufficient evidence for the sexual assault.

Later, Yeon-su gathered evidence on her own. Thanks to her efforts to publicize the issue and actively collect evidence, the prosecution ordered a reinvestigation of the case, which ultimately led to all perpetrators being found guilty and receiving prison sentences.

An expert commented on this, stating, "It is undeniable that the prosecution's supplementary investigation is like salvation or a light saving a life for a victim. Our constitution states that the state has an obligation to protect citizens from dangers such as crime and disasters. Yet, a victim has to go around finding, proving, and clarifying evidence directly? That is a contradiction," pointing out institutional limitations.

Experts expressed regret over the police's judgment in Danbi's case. In doing so, they spoke about the limitations of police investigation departments and expressed sorrow over the reality that the quality of investigations inevitably drops due to heavy workloads driven by understaffing.

The recently implemented amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act was enacted based on a national consensus that abuse of authority by the prosecution must be prevented, following controversies over prosecutorial overreach.

However, voices of concern are also growing regarding the concentration of investigative authority exclusively in the police, bypassing the positive functions of prosecutorial investigations.

Accordingly, the broadcast emphasized that real improvements in victim protection following such legal amendments are necessary, stating, "We hope measures will be devised to minimize the side effects that may arise if a single agency monopolizes investigations."

In particular, they expressed hope that measures such as increasing police personnel and relieving operational stress would definitely be implemented as one of those solutions.

Jung Eun-chae delivered an uppercut to a killer who looked down on the detectives.

On the August 15 broadcast of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Flex X Cop Season 2" (hereafter "Flex X Cop 2"), Jin Yi-soo and Joo Hye-ran were depicted solving a contract murder case.

On this day, Jin Yi-soo and Joo Hye-ran investigated the victim's husband. They immediately became convinced that the husband had instigated the murder of his wife.

Jin Yi-soo trusted his instincts, saying, "It was written all over his face." Meanwhile, Joo Hye-ran noted that when the victim's husband was told they had found Park Hyun-soo, he did not ask how they found him or whether they had caught him.

The detectives continued their investigation and tracked down the company hired by the victim's husband. However, the company's head, Maeng Seok-ho, feigned ignorance, claiming he knew nothing.

When the identities of two of the killers were uncovered, the company head called Yoo Tae-kwang and blurted out the name of one of the exposed killers.

Previously, Maeng Seok-ho had told Yoo Tae-kwang, "If our tails get caught, we just need to kill those two and disappear. If I call you Beom-gi, suspect something."

Hiding at Jang Jae-chun's grandmother's house, Yoo Tae-kwang murdered Jang Jae-chun and Cho Beom-gi upon receiving Maeng Seok-ho's call. He then erased his traces and fled the scene.

At the same time, the detectives figured out the whereabouts of Jang Jae-chun and Cho Beom-gi. Saying there was no time, Jin Yi-soo procured a helicopter, and the detectives immediately headed to Jang Jae-chun's grandmother's house in Daegu.

However, by the time they arrived, Jang Jae-chun and Cho Beom-gi were already dead. The detectives then pursued Yoo Tae-kwang, who had killed the two and fled.

While chasing his tracks, Jin Yi-soo encountered him and engaged in a physical fight. He fired a shot to signal his location, prompting Yoo Tae-kwang to jump off the rooftop and escape.

Without hesitation, Jin Yi-soo shot and hit the fleeing Yoo Tae-kwang. With Jin Yi-soo's efforts, the culprits were apprehended. The detectives also arrested the victim's husband, the instigator who ordered the murder.

Yoo Tae-kwang and Maeng Seok-ho aligned their stories, claiming that the two deceased killers had orchestrated all the murders. In response, Joo Hye-ran told Yoo Tae-kwang, "Since the other two actually committed the murders, your sentence won't be as heavy," and demanded that he reveal the identity of the skeleton found in the abandoned house.

Without missing a beat, Yoo Tae-kwang wrote down the names of those who had been killed. Joo Hye-ran then said, "I will tell you one thing in return. There was a robbery-murder case 10 years ago at the abandoned house used as a graveyard, and the culprit's DNA was found at the scene. But back then, there were no suspects to compare it with."

She continued, "Why on earth would you use that place as a graveyard? Could it be that the robbery-murder at the abandoned house was your first murder? The DNA left at the abandoned house matched yours. You killed Cho Beom-gi and Jang Jae-chun too, didn't you? And you washed the blood off in the sink. Your fingerprints were found there."

Joo Hye-ran then delivered a satisfying moment for viewers by saying, "Did you think you were playing with us? A perfect crime? There's no such thing."

Afterward, the violent crimes unit 2 visited Park Hyun-soo's lover to bow their heads and apologize for their past faults, and they presented an award to the student who provided the initial tip that solved the case, creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a new murder case took place in a hotel room, raising anticipation for what kind of developments will unfold in the next episode.

A showdown between a killer and detectives has been previewed.

On the August 14 broadcast of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Flex X Cop Season 2" (hereafter "Flex X Cop 2"), Jin Yi-soo and the Major Crimes Team 1 were depicted investigating a new case.

On this day, Jin Yi-soo went to the scene with Joo Hye-ra after receiving a tip that ghosts haunt an empty house. The two were then attacked there.

When they came to, they were tied to chairs while flames were spreading around them. The two managed to untie their restraints and escape.

After a suspicious basement was discovered at the arson-hit abandoned house, Jin Yi-soo bought the house outright upon hearing that a search warrant was needed to inspect it.

Thanks to Jin Yi-soo, the search proceeded at lightning speed, and five buried bodies were discovered in the basement. It was an abandoned house that became vacant after parents and their college student son were all murdered in the past.

The police had pursued the culprit as a robbery-homicide case, but failed to catch the perpetrator, leaving it as a long-term cold case. Now, another murder case had occurred in such a place.

Jin Yi-soo and Joo Hye-ra tracked nearby CCTVs and spotted a suspicious rental car. The car had been rented by Jung Da-eun.

She admitted to the arson. She explained the reason for the arson, saying, "My lover disappeared, and nobody believed what I said, so I had no other choice."

Jung Da-eun was preparing for marriage with Park Hyun-soo. However, when things were busy with wedding preparations, Park Hyun-soo disappeared, saying an important matter had come up.

Park Hyun-soo had vanished saying a school friend was in trouble and needed help. Shortly after, however, that friend was murdered, and the police claimed that Park Hyun-soo was the culprit.

In response, Jung Da-eun expressed her belief that her lover couldn't have done such a thing, stating, "No matter how much I said he wasn't that kind of person, they wouldn't believe me, saying all the evidence pointed to him. They said that classmate was dating my lover, and that he stalked and killed her after demanding to meet again."

Jung Da-eun remembered that Park Hyun-soo had installed a couple location-sharing app, so she tracked Park Hyun-soo's traces and ended up at the abandoned house, which was the location captured on the day of the murder case.

Explaining why she entered the abandoned house alone, Jung Da-eun stated, "It was a neighborhood that had nothing to do with him at all. Even when I asked them to investigate, the detective in charge wouldn't listen to me."

She also confessed that she found a suspicious basement there as well, and committed arson because she could not check inside it.

The Major Crimes Team 2 had been convinced that Park Hyun-soo was the culprit, as all evidence, motives, and movements pointed to him. However, the case fell into a labyrinth when it was revealed that one of the bodies found in the basement was Park Hyun-soo.

At this, Joo Hye-ra suspects that this might be the work of professional killers dreaming of a perfect crime. Whether her prediction hit the mark or not, the existence of professional killers was revealed at the end of the broadcast. In particular, Yoo Tae-gwang, the killer of killers, appeared, raising curiosity about the subsequent developments.
