Multi-entertainer Jung Joon-ha has successfully completed a half marathon through "Infinite Challenge Run."

Jung Joon-ha participated in the "2026 Infinite Challenge Run in Gyeongju" (hereafter "Mudo Run"), which was planned and directed by MOst267 (MBC Original Studio) and held at the Gyeongju Citizens Stadium on the 19th. Following the "Mudo Run" held in Seoul last June, this time he took on the marathon challenge together with "Infinite Challenge" fans in Gyeongju.

The Gyeongju "Mudo Run" was held as a unique team competition utilizing the concept of the chase battle, which was a popular segment of "Infinite Challenge," where participants were divided into a guard team and a bandit team. Jung Joon-ha actively participated as part of the bandit team.

For Jung Joon-ha, a large-framed individual known to weigh over 100 kg, long-distance running was no easy challenge. However, he poured sweat into his running practice every day and shared his "Mudo Run" practice process through his social media, receiving a lot of support. Having completed 10 km runs in the Yeouido, Busan, and Sangam "Mudo Run" events, he finally reaped the fruits of his hard work by completing a half marathon at the Gyeongju "Mudo Run," and shared his joy by taking various certification photos with participants.

Meanwhile, Jung Joon-ha has been actively engaged across variety and educational programs, including his YouTube channels "Jungjunhahaha" and "Hawasu." In particular, by combining his unique character with current content trends, he is once again opening a prime era for himself.

Proving his presence once again as a unique content character who can be utilized across platforms, moving beyond his legendary character from "Infinite Challenge," Jung Joon-ha plans to continue communicating with the public through various media and maintain his prime-level activities.

Snowboarder Kim Sang-kyum, the silver medalist at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, is officially joining SBS's "You're my destiny."

On the episode of "You're my destiny" airing on the night of Tuesday, September 22, Kim Sang-kyum, who became the oldest Olympic silver medalist after four attempts, reveals his surprising daily life with his wife, Park Han-sol, for the very first time.

Film director Jang Hang-jun is set to showcase his master-like charisma and sharp wit through the new SBS entertainment program "Maestro Jang".

SBS confirmed the premiere date for the new entertainment show "Maestro Jang" as October 15 (Thursday) at 9:00 PM, releasing a solo teaser poster of Director Jang Hang-jun on the 22nd.

"Maestro Jang" is a cinematic talk show that captures Director Jang Hang-jun—who was at times pathetic and servile, yet more brilliant than anyone—as he conducts a covert audition to cast top actors in his autobiographical film "Maestro Jang".

Joining the program are powerful partners who will help keep Jang Hang-jun's wild impulses in check. Song Eun-i, the head of Contents Lab Vivo—which produced Director Jang's previous work "Open the Door" and invested in "Rebound"—steps in as a pragmatic production company CEO. Joining her is Kim Pung, a former film reporter who considers Director Jang Hang-jun his mentor, taking on the role of assistant director to add sharp critique and wit.

In the released teaser poster, Jang Hang-jun captures attention with a solemn expression and piercing gaze reminiscent of Al Pacino in the film "The Godfather". Raising expectations about which stars he will reach out to with the catchphrase "I'm going to make you a casting offer you can't refuse," he brings his proven eye for talent, having previously discovered actor PARK JIHOON for the role of King Danjong.

"Maestro Jang", where Jang Hang-jun and various stars will share lively and engaging talk, will air every Thursday at 9:00 PM starting with its premiere on October 15.

Group KARA's Han Seungyeon (37), who is known to be receiving treatment for a cervical disc condition, took the stage at a university festival despite her health issues, sparking concern among fans.

On September 18, KARA performed at the Sogang University festival, delivering consecutive performances of five of their signature hit songs, including "Pretty Girl," "Honey," "Lupin," "Step," and "Mister." Amidst loud cheers from the audience, Han Seungyeon and her fellow members performed live while executing full choreography.

However, as footage of the performance circulated online, commenters expressed growing worry, noting that Han Seungyeon appeared visibly unwell.

In the video, Han Seungyeon performed the choreography while barely moving her neck from side to side, occasionally smiling as if trying to conceal moments of physical strain. With some also pointing out that her face appeared more swollen than usual, worry over her health condition has continued to escalate.

Earlier, health concerns surrounding Han Seungyeon surfaced when she was seen with trembling hands several times during her birthday fan meeting last month. At the time, her agency Aer Entertainment clarified, "Han Seungyeon experienced hand tremors as her cervical disc symptoms recently worsened. She is currently receiving hospital treatment, and there are no other health issues."

Group Jannabi proved its unrivaled power as a performance powerhouse by selling out all three days of concerts.

Tickets for Jannabi's solo concert, which opened on the 21st, sold out all three shows in just 5 minutes after ticket reservations began. Rather than repeating familiar formats, Jannabi opted for two entirely different concepts, and audiences responded quickly, taking just 5 minutes to prove the explosive interest.

Through this concert, Jannabi presents a new performance style of its own by consecutively showcasing two shows completed with different concepts and compositions.

The Jannabi ballad collection "One Fine Day in October in Seoul," held on October 23, is a concert that weaves together the love, seasons, and emotions of past times that Jannabi has sung about so far into a single flow. By newly composing previously released songs focusing on ballads, it delivers a different emotional sensitivity and atmosphere from existing solo concerts.

Following that, on the 24th and 25th, the Jannabi 2026 Asia Tour Final "Sweat and Stardust in Seoul" concert will take place. Marking the grand finale of their first Asia tour in Seoul, they will bring all the countless nights, sweat, and cheers gathered while passing through 7 countries and 7 cities—Taipei, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta—onto the KSPO DOME stage.

Meanwhile, Jannabi's solo concert will be held at the KSPO DOME in Seoul from October 23 to 25.

SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia" has revealed its full lineup of trusted, veteran actors, showcasing the scale of a blockbuster.

Scheduled to premiere on Friday, October 9, "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia" (written by Pyeon Seung-geun, directed by Lee Jung-rim) has unveiled a lineup of 10 veteran actors who will further elevate the quality of the series, following Kim Ji-won, Lee Jung-eun, Son Hyun-ju, and Kim Woo-seok.

"Doctor X" is a refreshing medical noir that follows the exploits of Doctor X, Gye Su-jeong, known as the "madwoman of the operating room," who shatters massive corruption with her uncompromising, genius surgical skills.

At Guseo University Hospital where Gye Su-jeong (played by Kim Ji-won) will operate, the cast includes Lee Jin-hee as Jo Won-jin, an anesthesiology and pain medicine professor; Kim Young-min as Do Yoon-shik, a general surgery professor and ambitious man dreaming of becoming the hospital director; Lee Sung-wook as Bae Heung-gon, the god of laparoscopy; Kwon Seung-woo as Ma Sung-gyu, a chief resident; and Huh Joon-seok as Kim Sung-jin, an emergency medicine professor. They are expected to navigate between intense tension and lively chemistry within the hospital.

The members of Lee Jung-eun's character Jang Hee-sook's medical staffing agency are also solid. Choi Duk-moon as Yang Eung-gu, a North Korean defector turned traditional Korean medicine doctor, and Kim Jung-young as Yoo Mi-kyung, a hospice specialist, will portray reliable mentors and teachers to Gye Su-jeong and Jang Hee-sook, exuding warm chemistry.

In addition, Kim Young-ah as Lee Seon-ae, head of the hospital management team; Choi Kwang-il as Goo Bon-pyung, chairman of Guseo University Hospital and head of the powerful faction Mokryeonhoe; and Jung Suk-yong as Kim Chang-soo, president of the Medical Association, will form the axis of the power struggle, maximizing immersion in the drama.

The young participants of "Love Against Time," who shared their true feelings at the unavoidable boundary of time, finally reached one another and met a happy ending.

On the final episode of the SBS dating reality show "Love Against Time" broadcast on the 21st, the final selection results of the participants, who finally confirmed their true feelings amidst numerous missed connections, were unveiled.

On the day prior to the final selection, the participants checked each other's inner feelings one last time through a truth game. Kim Ryunki picked his laundromat date with Seo Robin as his most heart-fluttering moment, confessing, "Rather than feeling like a sick person, as we talked, I forgot about my illness," eliciting admiration. Meanwhile, Han Dogon showed unwavering loyalty, stating that his feelings would not have changed even if someone else had pursued him directly, keeping his eyes only on Seo Robin from start to finish.

The triangle tension surrounding Kim Seonho, Jung Yeji, and Kim Nayoung continued until the end. Kim Seonho, who picked Jung Yeji as the person he was most concerned about that day, threw everyone into confusion by revealing that while his heart had leaned to one side, it was still "60 to 40 or 70 to 30." On the other hand, Kim Nayoung continued her unwavering pursuit, stating that her feelings would not change regardless of whether her partner was certain or not.

Afterward, the total accumulated time granted to each other was revealed, shocking the house. While Han Dogon's steadfast loyalty of devoting 480 minutes out of 500 exclusively to Seo Robin was revealed, Seo Robin expressed her gratitude and apologetic feelings, saying, "Seeing it in numbers made me directly feel the scale of his feelings." In their final conversation, Han Dogon shared, "There was no one else I felt attracted to besides Robin," while showing consideration for her until the end by hoping his feelings wouldn't become a burden.

At the moment of final selection, Seo Robin chose Kim Ryunki, who had always considered her first and embraced her pain. Announcing the start of her first romance in life, Seo Robin shared, "I thought it would be okay to like Ryunki a bit more now," while Kim Ryunki, facing upcoming chemotherapy, also expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for letting me receive treatment with a calm heart," receiving warm congratulations from the MCs.

Kim Seonho's final move, which was the greatest point of interest, was dramatically revealed with just one minute left before the time limit. The place Kim Seonho headed to was Jung Yeji, with whom he had built a connection as blog neighbors six years ago. Pushing forward, Kim Seonho said, "We fought together sharing life and death, so how could we become strangers?", and the two emotionally held hands. Meanwhile, Kim Nayoung, who expressed her sincere feelings until the end, left a deep lingering impression by showing the attitude of a cool pursuer, saying, "It was enough that I liked him."

Going beyond a simple dating show and capturing the sincerity of young people facing their remaining life and time, "Love Against Time" brought its grand journey to a close, leaving behind the shining growth and emotion of its eight young participants.

Veteran singer Shim Soo-bong (71) issued an apology for stating, "My head is spinning because of a young lady who doesn't really know what singing is," to which Kim Da-hyun (17) responded with a mature attitude, saying, "I will calm my mind well."

On the 21st, Kim Da-hyun posted on her Instagram, "Hello, this is Kim Da-hyun. I spoke directly with Shim Soo-bong, and she offered a personal apology and warm comfort." She continued, "Fans, you must have been upset and worried because of this incident. Don't worry, as I will calm my mind well, and let's meet with bright faces. Thank you."

Previously, Shim sparked controversy on the 20th during her performance at the "10th Jinan Plateau Trot Festival" held in Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, with remarks targeting Kim Da-hyun, who performed right before her.

Shim publicly lectured the audience, saying, "The young girl who sang just before me made my head spin. It seems like a young lady who doesn't know what singing is, what life is. Listening to her sing makes it too hard for me now. Please do not send that player (Kim Da-hyun) out in front of me anymore, going forward."

As the video of the remarks spread online, critical public opinion grew. Pointing out that it was inappropriate for a veteran to make strong public remarks targeting a junior singer who is a minor born in 2009 continued. In particular, criticism followed regarding the use of expressions such as "young girl," "young lady," and "player" to refer to Kim Da-hyun. As the controversy spread, traffic surged, causing Shim's official website to crash temporarily.

As the controversy grew, Shim issued an official apology on the 21st through her agency.

She bowed her head, saying, "To put it simply, I made a slip of the tongue. I have nothing to say even if I have ten mouths, given that inappropriate words came out at an improper moment during a trot festival where everyone should be laughing and enjoying themselves. I didn't know exactly who the preceding singer was, and it was certainly not meant to shame a specific person. As an adult, it was definitely wrong of me to say things that hurt a junior singer's heart."

Shim also stated that she shared direct apologies with Kim Da-hyun and her family.

She repeatedly stated, "When Kim Da-hyun's father told me that Kim Da-hyun played the piano and sang "Million Roses" at her concert, thinking about "how much she must have practiced" made my eyes water. I express deep regret and apologies to Kim Da-hyun, her fan club, and all the staff who worked hard for the event. I sincerely apologize to the many participants who came to watch the performance on the day of the trot festival. I ask for your forgiveness with a generous heart."

Meanwhile, Shim Soo-bong and Kim Da-hyun have a history of appearing on the same broadcast multiple times in the past. Kim appeared on MBN "The Best K-Trot Singer" in 2023, where Shim participated as a special master to judge Kim's performance, and in December of the same year, the two appeared side by side on SBS FiL and SBS M "The Trot Show".

Kim Seonho's final choice was Jung Yeji.

On the 21st broadcast of the SBS program "Love Against Time", the final selection results of the cast members were revealed.

On this day, Kim Nayoung and Jung Yeji each spent their remaining time on Kim Seonho, and they waited for him to arrive in different locations.

As 10 minutes passed and with less than a minute left, Kim Seonho had still not appeared, causing both Kim Nayoung and Jung Yeji to show nervous anticipation. Just then, Kim Seonho was captured walking toward someone with a smile.

Kim Seonho shared, "My stomach was genuinely burning. It felt like I was going crazy. When I saw her silhouette from afar, I felt shy, and today she felt uniquely prettier."

He continued, "Honestly, that moment felt so intense," surprising everyone by appearing in front of Jung Yeji. In the end, after going full circle, Kim Seonho's final choice was Jung Yeji.

Watching this, the panelists congratulated the two on becoming the final couple. Lee Seyoung stated, "Yeji went through so much heartache, so she shouldn't be made to cry anymore."

Upon seeing Kim Seonho, Jung Yeji expressed her overwhelming emotions about his choice, saying, "The moment I saw Seonho, I thought, 'What a relief, he came after all.' I suddenly felt like crying, too."

The two became shy upon confirming each other's presence. Kim Seonho asked, "Did you think I was going to show up?" Jung Yeji revealed her anxious feelings as time ran out without him appearing, saying, "As the 10 minutes were ending, I really didn't know."

Kim Seonho confessed that his fateful encounter with Jung Yeji had left a strong impression on his mind, saying, "It could have ended as a passing connection, but realizing that the moment was unforgettable made it so intense."

He went on to reveal the real reason he chose Jung Yeji: "Meeting someone I supported a few years ago in a setting like this and having a conversation felt like a movie or a drama. Those times were precious, both in the past and in the present. I think those were times built together like a sandcastle for each other. That good feeling had such a strong impact, which is why I think I was drawn to her. Having shared life and death and fought together, how could we become strangers? How could we ever forget each other?"

After the final selection, Kim Seonho tightly held Jung Yeji's hand because she was cold. Jung Yeji did not know what to do out of shyness, yet she drew attention by not letting go of the hand he held.

Meanwhile, Kim Nayoung was also shown left alone. After the 10 minutes passed, she turned her steps away and said, "Well, so what? I like him, and that's all that matters. I'm awesome. Concluding it this way made my heart feel at ease."

She looked back on the time when she was honest with her emotions, saying, "I laughed the most when we were together. That's what stands out in my memory. I was sincere." She then shared her thoughts on Kim Seonho's choice, saying, "I want to tell him he did a great job, and I sincerely cheer for him."

Finally, Jung Yeji asked Kim Seonho, "In a way, both of us have experienced pain, does seeing me bring back memories of the past?" To this, Kim Seonho expressed his genuine feelings to the person who helped him forget those painful moments, replying, "Not at this exact moment."

Before the final selection, Seo Robin checked the time sent to each other by the cast members and was greatly surprised that Han Do-gon had sent 480 minutes out of a total of 500 minutes to her. In response, Seo Robin revealed that she was swayed by Han Do-gon's heart, raising curiosity about what choice she would make.

However, in the end, Seo Robin chose Kim Ryun-gi. Kim Ryun-gi's face lit up with a smile at the appearance of Seo Robin, who greeted him by saying "Hello."

While unable to hide their shyness, the two held each other's hands tightly. As Kim Ryun-gi, whose hands had grown cold while waiting for Seo Robin, worried that his hands were cold, Seo Robin said, "It's fine, I'll warm them up for you," creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

In response, Seo Robin said, "Ryun-gi's hands were so cold and mine were warm. So I thought I wanted to touch his cold hands to make them warmer," adding, "It felt like a movie or a drama, and I think I was thrilled at that moment."

Kim Ryun-gi honestly said, "I actually lost my memory for a moment. The moment she appeared and greeted me with a hello, she looked so pure and I thought she was pretty."

And Kim Ryun-gi, who was scheduled to undergo chemotherapy after moving out of the house, said, "I honestly don't want to go get treatment." To this, Seo Robin said, "Treatment starts tomorrow? Okay, I'll wait for you," and drew attention by planning how they would spend their time together after treatment.

Kim Seonho kept his true feelings hidden until the end.

On the September 21 broadcast of the SBS program "Love Against Time", a truth game took place among the cast members ahead of their final choices.

On this day, Kim Ryunki asked Kim Seonho, who was caught between Jung Yeji and Kim Nayoung, "Have you sorted out your thoughts now?"

Previously, when asked about his most heart-fluttering date, Kim Seonho had answered, "The first date. I think I was nervous because I had no idea who would show up," an answer that fell far short of what the cast members who had feelings for him wanted to hear.

As a result, not only Jung Yeji and Kim Nayoung but also the other cast members felt frustrated, which led to this question being asked.

In response, Kim Seonho said, "It hasn't fully ended yet. But I think it is leaning." Watching this, Jung Yeji asked, "Can I ask you a question?" and pressed him for a clearer answer, saying, "You said it's leaning, but what is the percentage?"

However, Kim Seonho replied, "I think it's 60 to 40, or maybe 70 to 30." Jung Yeji drew attention by advising him, "You said it's a certain percentage, but shouldn't you still figure it out to at least around 80 to 20?"

Upon hearing this, the panelists sympathized with the frustration of Jung Yeji and Kim Nayoung, remarking, "That's right, refreshing," and "Thinking about it, it's making me mad. I've held it in a lot. I'm on the verge of bursting" over Kim Seonho's vague expressions.

Jung Ye-ji posed a question to Kim Na-young.

On the September 21 broadcast of SBS "Love Against Time", a truth game took place among the cast members ahead of their final choices.

On this day, Jung Ye-ji asked Kim Na-young, who has been openly showing affection for Kim Seonho, "I am curious about what aspects made you feel attracted to him."

Previously, when asked what kind of date she wanted to have with her crush and why, Kim Na-young surprised everyone by publicly revealing that her crush was Seonho.

Consequently, Jung Ye-ji felt uncomfortable with Kim Na-young sharing the same feelings toward the person she herself was interested in, ultimately leading her to ask the aforementioned question.

In response, Kim Na-young caught attention by answering, "Actually, his appearance is really not my style. I thought he was quite unmanly, but he turned out to be much more of a real man than I expected. Aspects like that made my heart flutter and I saw many unexpected sides of him."

Actor Zo In-sung explained the situation regarding reporters rushing to get his autograph during a press conference at the Venice International Film Festival.

Attending the press screening and conference for "Possible Love" held at CGV Yongsan in Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, Zo In-sung talked about his appearance at the official press conference of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, saying, "If you are planning to come out and get autographs again today, please let me know in advance. Then I won't be as flustered," bringing laughter to the room.

Zo In-sung shared, "I was lucky enough to go to the Cannes Film Festival this year and also joined the Venice Film Festival, but this was a sight I hadn't seen at Cannes."

He added, "Since it was an official press conference, I was sitting there expecting a solemn atmosphere, but suddenly reporters started rushing out in groups, so I thought we had done something wrong."

That situation took place after the official press conference for "Possible Love" at the Venice Film Festival concluded. As soon as the press conference ended, reporters sitting in the audience rushed toward the podium with paper and pens, and upon seeing this, Zo In-sung reacted with wide, rabbit-like eyes. It was a moment that offered a glimpse into director Lee Chang-dong's international stature, which even made reporters reveal their inner fan hearts.

Zo In-sung smiled and said, "That scene remains with us as something astonishing, yet welcoming and touching. I was grateful to see that the foreign press reporters who came to the Venice Film Festival also recognized and welcomed the director and the status of Korean cinema."

"Possible Love" is a film that depicts the story of a laid-off worker and his wife, along with a documentary director and her husband—two couples who meet for a documentary production and face their different lives and hidden desires. It is director Lee Chang-dong's new work, his first in eight years since "Burning", and it won the Silver Lion (Grand Jury Prize) at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

It is scheduled for a limited theatrical release domestically starting on the 23rd, and will be officially released worldwide via Netflix on November 6.

Actor Sul Kyung-gu shared the reason why he broke down in tears at the Venice International Film Festival.

Attending the press screening and conference for the movie "Possible Love" held at Yongsan CGV in Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, Sul Kyung-gu spoke about shedding tears after the official screening at the Venice International Film Festival, saying, "That was the second time I was watching the movie, and I found myself getting even more immersed than when I saw it at the technical screening in Korea."

He continued, explaining the situation, "Towards the latter half of the movie, as Mi-ok (played by Jeon Do-yeon) is seen finding a glimmer of hope, I thought to myself, 'Is there really hope for us, too?' My heart was deeply moved by the ending scene featuring the moon, and as the audience even gave (passionate) applause, the time we filmed in Goheung flashed before my eyes like a panorama. That is when my tears burst out."

True to his words, Sul Kyung-gu wept profusely after the premiere screening of "Possible Love" at the Venice International Film Festival. Zo In-sung, who watched this scene closely from beside him, also reddened with emotion. Jeon Do-yeon, who was there together with them, showed a look of surprise at both actors' tears.

Sul Kyung-gu drew laughter by saying, "I stayed in Seoul for a brief moment after returning from Venice and before leaving for Toronto, and I received so many messages back then that it was embarrassing. Fortunately, Zo In-sung cried along with me. Jeon Do-yeon told me she didn't get a chance to cry because I was crying too much."

"Possible Love" tells the story of a laid-off worker and his wife, alongside a documentary director and her husband, two couples who meet to produce a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires. It won the Silver Lion (Grand Jury Prize), which is the second-highest prize, at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival that closed on the 12th.

The movie is scheduled to be released in select theaters on September 23 and will be released on Netflix on November 6.

Actor Jung Eun-chae successfully wrapped up "Flex X Cop 2," achieving a continuous string of hit projects throughout the year 2026.

SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Flex X Cop 2," starring Jung Eun-chae, came to a grand finale on the 19th by breaking its own highest viewership ratings in the final episode. Following "Honour" earlier this year, she successfully wrapped up both projects with consecutive personal best ratings, once again proving her power as a "trusted actor" through two distinct works.

In "Flex X Cop 2," Jung Eun-chae played Joo Hye-ra, the head of the violent crimes unit 1 at Gangha Police Station, showcasing the textbook image of a veteran detective with a steady gaze and restrained tone. She naturally elevated the immersion of the show through her witty chemistry with Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bohyun) as well as seamless, thrilling action sequences.

In particular, during the latter half of the series, she drove the main mystery with high quality by engaging in a life-risking chase and a chilling psychological warfare to uncover the truth behind the serial killer Yoo Sung-won (played by Yoo Seung-ho). Her restrained emotional acting in front of the victims' bereaved families and her intense charisma that did not back down even in front of a gun barrel left a deep lingering impression on viewers.

Jung Eun-chae, who brilliantly adorned 2026 with her deep acting spectrum that transcends genres and characters, will continue her activities in the film industry. She is scheduled to attend the 31st Busan International Film Festival and participate in a GV (Guest Visit) session alongside actor Charlotte Gainsbourg following a special screening of the film "Melancholia" on October 8.

Director Lee Chang-dong has shared the message behind "Possible Love," his first new film in eight years.

Attending the press and distribution screening for the film "Possible Love" held at Yongsan CGV in Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st, Director Lee responded thoughtfully when asked about the message he wanted to convey through the movie, saying, "It is difficult to sum up what I wanted to say in just a couple of words. If I had to say, rather than talking simply and easily about the reality we live in—not just Korean society, but today's world—I wanted to approach it on multiple levels. The world we live in is not that simple. It conceals various complex aspects, and I felt we could talk about those things together with the audience."

He went on to emphasize, "In some ways, this film might look like a story about dismissed workers, class conflict, the ethics and attitude of filmmaking, or human relationships. I made it because I wanted audiences to feel, think, and share questions together through the stories of two couples across these multiple layers."

"Possible Love" follows a dismissed worker and his wife, as well as a documentary director and her husband, as two couples meet to make a documentary and confront each other's different lives and hidden desires. It is Director Lee's first new release in eight years since "Burning" (2018), reuniting him with his longtime muses Sul Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon while marking his first collaboration with Cho Yeo-jeong and Zo In-sung.

The film will be available in theaters starting September 23.
