On October 26, YOUNHA's legal representative, Law Firm Illo, stated, "YOUNHA's side demanded rectification regarding the issue of unpaid settlements that had continued for a long time, but because it was not carried out, notice of the termination of her exclusive contract was given in September 2026." They went on to explain, "C9 Entertainment also acknowledged via an official document that the termination took effect on September 14."

YOUNHA's side stated that they have filed a lawsuit claiming the unpaid settlements. They said they plan to sort out the remaining issues within the procedures set by law.

YOUNHA's side added, "YOUNHA will continue her musical activities moving forward," and requested, "Other artists and staff members affiliated with C9 Entertainment are unrelated to this matter, so we ask that you refrain from speculative reports."

YOUNHA signed an exclusive contract with C9 Entertainment in 2012 and had been promoting under the agency, even renewing her contract last year.

The side of actor Kim Soo-hyun announced that police have referred the mother of the late Kim Sae-ron and others to the prosecution in connection with criminal complaints filed over claims that Kim Soo-hyun dated the late actress when she was a minor.

Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, released an official statement on October 26, stating, "We are sharing the results of the police investigation regarding multiple criminal complaints and accusations filed by Kim Soo-hyun and our company against the bereaved family of the late Kim Sae-ron and an individual who impersonated the deceased's maternal aunt."

The agency claimed, "Following the previous arrest and indictment of Kim Se-ui of Hover Lab in connection with this case, accomplices who took part in a series of offenses with Kim Se-ui, including the spread of false information, have also had their criminal charges recognized and were referred to the prosecution." The agency explained that those referred this time include the mother of the late actress and "an individual who impersonated the deceased's maternal aunt," facing charges including violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation by stating false facts), violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (distribution of recordings using cameras, etc.), and attempted coercion. A decision of non-referral was made regarding the late actress's father.

According to the agency, the police also conducted separate independent investigations into accomplices who were not initially included in the complaints.

Gold Medalist stated, "Attorney Boo Ji-seok, the legal representative for the bereaved family who led two press conferences using false and manipulated materials confirmed by investigative authorities (falsified and altered KakaoTalk messages, manipulated AI audio), and Kwon Young-chan, operator of the YouTube channel 'Kwon Young-chan TV,' were also each referred to the prosecution with charges recognized. Attorney Boo Ji-seok faces charges of defamation under the Criminal Act and violation of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation by stating false facts), while Kwon Young-chan faces charges of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes (distribution of recordings using cameras, etc.)."

The agency added, "We deeply thank the investigative authorities for their hard work in carefully verifying the facts based on extensive materials and objective evidence to uncover the reality of the crimes and those involved."

Referral is the stage where the police conclude their investigation and forward the case to the prosecution, and the decision on whether to indict rests with the prosecution.

Meanwhile, Kim Se-ui, head of Hover Lab, was arrested and indicted in June and is currently on trial before the 26th Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court.

Yu Jae-seok and Lee Chun-hee, the soulmate duo from "Family Outing," are reuniting on a variety show for the first time in 16 years to show off their special chemistry.

On the SBS variety program "Whenever Possible," airing on Tuesday, October 27 at 9 p.m., MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeonseok are joined by guest actors Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee as they seek out spare moments in Nowon-gu, Seoul.

During the recent recording, Lee Chun-hee voiced his long-held disappointment with Yu Jae-seok, saying, "It has been over ten years since I invited you to come hang out at my workshop, and you still haven't come." Previously, Lee drew significant attention as the CEO of a furniture brand where he sold handmade furniture for 13 years.

When Yu Jae-seok boldly replied, "My schedule is completely full this year, so I'll go next year," Lee Chun-hee caught him off guard by revealing a surprising update: "Actually, I stepped down from the company last year." Lee then added, "Still, we can just go hang out at the workshop together for old time's sake," displaying his signature cheerful, quirky charm and filling the room with laughter.

When wooden tongue depressors were introduced as game props, Lee Chun-hee tapped into his carpenter instincts, inspecting the shape and build of the tools rather than figuring out game strategy. He eventually went as far as bringing out adhesive bandages to tune the game props for the first time in the program's history. Seeing this, Yu Jae-seok marveled, "Chun-hee used to wash radishes with soap back in the day, but he has changed," sending the set into bursts of laughter.

Continuing its strong run by ranking first in viewership ratings among variety and educational programs in its time slot for 10 consecutive weeks, "Whenever Possible" airs on Tuesday, October 27 at 9 p.m.

Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee are Yoo Yeonseok's co-stars in his new drama. On this day, Seo Hyun-jin offered a warm greeting, saying, "I came to 'Whenever Possible' thanks to the 'Yeonseok Oppa' pass." When Yu Jae-seok acknowledged his quick recruiting skills, saying, "Yeonseok manages to squeeze in one of his projects every season," Seo Hyun-jin drew laughter by expressing envy, asking, "Every season? Why do you have so many projects?"

Seo Hyun-jin and Lee Chun-hee then heated up the atmosphere by exposing Yoo Yeonseok's extraordinary love for games on the drama set. Seo Hyun-jin shook her head in amazement, saying, "Oppa really loves games. He begs us to play games every day on the drama set." Lee Chun-hee added testimony to Yoo Yeonseok's fierce competitive streak, prompting bursts of laughter on set by sharing, "Even during team dinners, he tells us to play games, and he doesn't even drink alcohol just to avoid losing."

Undeterred by his colleagues' revelations, Yoo Yeonseok reportedly introduced an ingenious lunch-betting game he developed himself, earning the admiration of Yu Jae-seok, Seo Hyun-jin, and Lee Chun-hee.

Continuing its unstoppable momentum by ranking first among entertainment and educational programs in its time slot for 10 consecutive weeks, "Whenever Possible" airs every Tuesday at 9:00 PM.

On the SBS audition project "The Ballad of Us 2," airing Monday, October 26 at 10 p.m., an unavoidable Round 2 one-on-one designated death match will unfold where losers face immediate elimination.

Known as "SBS's daughter" after making a name for herself on the SBS audition program "The Fan," BIBI fully prepared for the taping, transitioning from former contestant to special "Top 100 Ears" representative panelist. While watching the audition performances, BIBI showed an unexpectedly unique energy and even burst into tears, raising curiosity.

On the other hand, Joo Woo-jae, who was active in Round 1, faced the crisis of being demoted to the periphery of the "Top 100 Ears" representative panel. Cha Tae-hyun eventually took control of the studio atmosphere by issuing a strong warning to Joo Woo-jae, saying, "If you do poorly today, you're out completely."

In the Round 2 death match that followed, a big matchup was set between "vocal tone fairies" Yoo Hye-ri and Kim Soo-ah, both of whom had captured the hearts of the "Top 100 Ears." As the two chose Jeon Won-seok's "Don't Leave" and Yoon Sang's "What Is Love," respectively, Roy Kim heightened anticipation by mentioning the song's high difficulty, remarking, "In the past, Jung Jae-hyung once gave me a ban, telling me, 'Don't even listen to or sing Yoon Sang's songs.'"

In addition, a survival face-off between Lim Ba-da, who scored a high 147 votes in Round 1, and strong championship contender Heo Chae-min has been teased, promising an unpredictable, fiercely fought battle.

Revealing the one-on-one death matches where contestants face a brutal test with survival on the line, "The Ballad of Us 2" airs tonight, October 26, at 10 p.m.

According to distributor CJ ENM on October 26, "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" reached a cumulative audience of 2,000,849 nationwide as of this morning.

This achievement places the film among the top seven highest-grossing Korean movies of 2026, and marks the highest box office performance among R-rated films released in 2026.

However, it remains the lowest box office performance among the four films in the "Tazza" franchise. The highest record is held by the 2006 film "Tazza," which drew 5.69 million viewers. The second installment, "Tazza: The Hidden Card," attracted 4.02 million admissions, while "Tazza: One Eyed Jack" drew 2.23 million. With "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" still running in theaters, attention is focused on whether it can surpass the previous installment's record.

"Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" is a crime film following Jang Tae-young (Byun Yohan), who thought he had the entire world through an online casino business, and his best friend of the same name, Park Tae-young (Roh Jae-won), who took everything from him, as they reunite in the global gambling world for an ultimate showdown of revenge. Byun Yohan and Roh Jae-won portray the two Tae-youngs.

Actors Park Minyoung and Yook Sung-jae from "Nine to Six" clash intensely from their very first meeting, teasing a fresh older-woman-younger-man chemistry.

The production team behind the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama "Nine to Six" (written by Choi Ji-oh, directed by Lee Hyoung-min and Oh Song-hee), which is set to premiere on Wednesday, November 25 at 9:00 PM, released stills on October 26 capturing the volatile first encounter between Kang Yi-ji (played by Park Minyoung) and Han Sun-woo (played by Yook Sung-jae).

"Nine to Six" is an on-and-off work-life balance romance drama about a rational woman who has lived her life proving herself through work, and an affectionate, emotional man as they rewrite their definitions of work, love, and happiness together. Park Minyoung plays Kang Yi-ji, a workaholic deputy manager on the legal team who has always validated herself through work, while Yook Sung-jae stars opposite her as Han Sun-woo, a man with warm and emotional charm.

In the released stills, Kang Yi-ji blocks Han Sun-woo's path with a sharp gaze, taking the upper hand. In particular, holding the phone that Han Sun-woo dropped as "hostage" while rattling off legal clauses with a resolute demeanor, Kang Yi-ji radiates the overwhelming presence of a highly competent legal team deputy manager.

In response, Han Sun-woo's eyes go wide as he fails to hide his fluster, and he brings laughs as he points at himself to plead his innocence. Han Sun-woo's amusing helplessness in front of the sharp-witted Kang Yi-ji sparks curiosity about the unexpected antagonistic dynamic the two will showcase going forward.

As anticipation builds over how their terrible first impressions, tangled up by a misunderstanding in the middle of the street, will transform into romance, "Nine to Six" will premiere on Wednesday, November 25 at 9:00 PM.

Actor Jang Nara is returning as a more resolute and seasoned divorce lawyer.

On October 26, the team behind SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Good Partner 2" (written by Choi Yu-na, directed by Seo Min-jeong)—scheduled to premiere on Friday, November 20—unveiled character stills capturing the dazzling comeback of Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Nara), who has become the managing partner of "Law Firm Rebom."

"Good Partner 2" is a refreshing divorce drama depicting managing partner Cha Eun-kyung, for whom divorce is second nature, and experienced attorney Kang Hye-seong (played by Kim Hyeyoon), who is deeply sincere about divorce, as they become each other's "good partners." News of the return of Jang Nara, who won the 2024 SBS Drama Awards, is already drawing high anticipation from viewers.

The newly released photos capture the relaxed and elegant smile of Cha Eun-kyung, who built "Law Firm Rebom" into a 50-person divorce specialty law firm within three years and was named "Power Woman of the Year." At the same time, seated in front of her "Managing Partner" nameplate and delivering arguments in court with a sharp gaze, she radiates the aura of a workaholic veteran, raising expectations for her upcoming performance.

Jang Nara shared her thoughts, saying, "I was grateful to have the opportunity to participate in a drama that is getting a second season. Meeting viewers again as the same character was a truly unique experience. The character of Cha Eun-kyung itself had many adventurous sides, so playing her again also made me feel cautious."

Highlighting "empathy" as the biggest change in Cha Eun-kyung, Jang Nara added, "After founding Law Firm Rebom, it seems there are more aspects where she connects and empathizes with clients' heartfelt stories. 'Rebom' itself seems to represent Cha Eun-kyung. I tried my best to shed the pressure and ambition from the previous season. I also tried to approach the role with an easy mind so that viewers could watch comfortably."

Jang Nara's refreshing approach to divorce cases, backed by even deeper experience, will premiere on "Good Partner 2" on Friday, November 20 at 9:50 p.m.

The "Movengers" envied Yoon Mi-ra, who is enjoying her single life.

On the October 25 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy," 75-year-old Yoon Mi-ra joined as the show's oldest member.

On the broadcast that day, Yoon Mi-ra, a top beauty star of the 1970s, drew attention by appearing as a new member. Her morning routine for maintaining her youthful looks was also revealed, drawing keen interest.

Yoon Mi-ra finished her morning wash simply by patting her face with cold water. She surprised everyone by wrapping up her skincare routine after gently applying just lotion and then lip balm.

She also drew attention by throwing away all the side dishes made by her younger sibling that had filled her refrigerator after failing to eat them in time.

Having skipped breakfast, Yoon Mi-ra picked out an outfit to go out. Moving between three walk-in closets, she complained, "Even with so many clothes, I have nothing to wear."

With three separate dressing rooms divided into everyday wear, luxury items, and top-tier luxury items, Yoon Mi-ra picked out a bag to give as a gift to her younger sibling, who makes side dishes for her. In particular, despite her gratitude toward her younger sibling, she drew laughter as she hesitated to choose which one to give away.

In the end, however, she selected a generous pile of bags to give to her younger sibling, prompting the Movengers to say in envy, "I want to be her younger sibling."

After finishing her preparations to go out, Yoon Mi-ra headed to a hotel. She visited to enjoy the hotel's breakfast buffet.

Yoon Mi-ra said, "It is not easy for people living alone to cook and eat at home. You just eat whatever when you are alone. So it is nice to come here once in a while to get proper nutrition."

She added, "It is good when you feel down, and it is also nice to come with good people. Since I am at this age now, I have to take care of myself."

In response to an acquaintance's compliment that she does not look her age, Yoon Mi-ra drew attention by saying, "Everyone asks me why I do not have wrinkles, but I was born with good genes thanks to my mother. I have to thank my parents." She continued, "And the ultimate secret to looking young is staying unmarried. Compared to being single, married people seem to age because they have so much on their minds. I think being unmarried is what allowed me to maintain my beauty."

Still, Yoon Mi-ra shared that she sometimes feels empty because she is alone, fondly recalling the past by saying, "There were times I almost got married, and I received many marriage proposals."

Yoon Mi-ra then laughed out loud, saying, "Still, I haven't given up yet. There must be a match for me too." She then drew laughter by adding, "Actually, I used to like older men. But even with older men, I didn't want someone more than five years older. But now, someone four years older wouldn't work. Instead, I think someone four years younger would be better."

KCM asked Kim Bum-soo to sing the congratulatory song at his wedding.

On the October 25 broadcast of SBS' "My Little Old Boy," Kim Bum-soo was shown deciding to sing the celebratory song at the wedding of his friend of 30 years, KCM.

During the broadcast, Kim Bum-soo received a wedding invitation from KCM. KCM, who was unable to hold a wedding ceremony 15 years ago due to circumstances at the time, is now having a belated wedding ceremony.

Kim Bum-soo said, "This is touching. People don't often hand out wedding invitations in person these days." In response, KCM mentioned Kim Bum-soo's special significance to him, saying, "My wife also insisted that I must give it to you in person," adding, "You are the person who served as the biggest root and foundation of my life as a singer."

KCM continued, "It is not that I am unaware of the condition of your throat, so I am so grateful that you agreed to sing the congratulatory song."

Kim Bum-soo responded, "After October of last year, I was afraid of getting back on stage," adding, "To be honest, the stage that makes me feel the most pressure is singing a wedding song. It is live, and the acoustics are poor, so it feels burdensome. But since you asked me, I thought that I should definitely do it."

KCM said, "I also thought asking you might not be polite. But I wanted to make it meaningful, so I made the request with difficulty."

Hearing this, Kim Bum-soo moved KCM by saying, "Honestly, the words 'I will sing for you' were right on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't say it because my throat was in bad shape. But since you asked first, I thought, 'Of course, even if I have to squeeze my vocal cords, I should do it.'"

Will "Running Man" be able to use the corporate card?

On the October 25 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man," the "Corporate Card Odyssey" race took place in Jongno 3-ga.

On this day, the production team unveiled the "Corporate Card Odyssey," introducing it as a "race set in Jongno 3-ga, selected by CNN and Time Out as one of the world's coolest neighborhoods."

The production team explained that they had prepared a corporate card for the cast members, who were filming together for the first time in three weeks. However, there was a catch: to use the corporate card, certain conditions had to be met. If they failed to satisfy the conditions, the members would have to cover all their expenses using their personal cards.

The production team then presented a quiz for a chance to obtain the first corporate card. They drew attention by singling out Yang Sechan, one of the "Kkang-kkang" members.

Yang Sechan had to deduce the hiding spot of the corporate card from the answer to the quiz. Although he knew the correct answer, he was unable to find the corporate card within the time limit, leaving everyone disappointed.

Even after that, the members were unable to use the corporate card a single time and faced their final opportunity. Unaware of what lay ahead, the members overspent, and the final bill to be settled amounted to a large sum exceeding 500,000 won.

However, the members also showed a heartwarming side that caught viewers' attention, such as gifting a pair of mandarin ducks to Ji Ye-eun ahead of her wedding.

The low-difficulty quiz, which required every single member to answer correctly to succeed, asked them to name "the longest river in our country." The "Brain line," consisting of Yu Jae-seok, Jee Seokjin, and Kim Jong-kook, answered correctly with ease.

However, the "Kkang-kkang line," starting with HAHA, struggled to think of the answer, creating suspense for viewers. Even so, HAHA, Ji Ye-eun, and Song Jihyo all answered correctly, raising hopes for success.

Yet Yang Sechan ultimately failed to come up with the correct answer, blowing their final chance to secure the corporate card and leaving everyone disappointed.

The final payment rule required members, in the order they answered the quiz correctly, to locate cards hidden throughout the building and pay whatever portion of the bill they wished. Since the only goal was to avoid finishing in last place, everyone focused intently on getting the correct answer for the final mission.

While the "Brain line" answered the quiz one after another, Jee Seokjin grew increasingly nervous at the strong showing of the "Kkang-kkang" members, which defied his expectations.

Defying expectations, Jee Seokjin was the last one remaining, surprising everyone. In the end, Jee Seokjin was stuck paying the entire remaining balance left over after the other members made their payments.

At this, Yu Jae-seok said, "Hyung, the bill won't leave you feeling disappointed." The other members chimed in, saying, "Everyone probably paid about 50,000 won each."

However, the amount Jee Seokjin had to pay was 516,000 won out of the 572,000 won total. The member who paid the highest amount was HAHA, who contributed 30,000 won. The lowest payments were made by Yang Sechan and Ji Ye-eun, who each paid just 1,000 won.

At this, Jee Seokjin snapped, "What on earth did you guys do?" But soon after, he coolly paid the balance in a single lump sum, remarking, "Since I bought what you all liked, I bought it with a joyful heart," creating a heartwarming moment.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a preview announced guest appearances by Lee Hyun-jung, a key player in the Asian Games men's basketball gold medal victory, and Kim Min-jong, an Asian Games judo bronze medalist, raising anticipation for the next episode.

Jee Seokjin and Song Jihyo expressed their disappointment over not being able to perform a congratulatory song at Ji Ye-eun's wedding.

On the October 25 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man," the members caught up on one another's recent updates.

During the episode, the cast shared that they had received wedding invitations from Ji Ye-eun. Jee Seokjin then said, "Jihyo kept asking if we couldn't just do the congratulatory song." In response, Kim Jong-kook drew laughter by saying, "Instead of a congratulatory song, go play soccer."

Jee Seokjin continued, "Jihyo kept suggesting that we perform 'Milkshake' together as the congratulatory song," and asked her again, "Do you want to?" Song Jihyo happily agreed without a second thought.

Watching this unfold, Ji Ye-eun politely declined Jee Seokjin and Song Jihyo's congratulatory song, saying, "Because I want it to have quality."

Ji Ye-eun then drew attention by revealing that the wedding will feature Yu Jae-seok as the host, Kim Jong-kook singing the congratulatory song, and a celebratory dance stage prepared by We Dem Boyz, the dance crew of her husband-to-be, Vata.

Jee Seokjin expressed his disappointment, saying, "There was a reason Jihyo and I got rejected. We failed the level test." Yu Jae-seok then brought laughter to the set by adding, "Hyung, don't feel down. It's Na-eun's birthday coming up soon, so come over and perform it then. Na-eun loves 'Milkshake.'"

Jee Seokjin shared his thoughts on his trip to Italy.

On the October 25 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man," the members caught up on what they had been up to.

On this day, Kim Jong-kook asked Jee Seokjin, who recently returned from a trip to southern Italy, how it went. Jee Seokjin explained that he took the trip to southern Italy because it had been his wife's lifelong wish, saying, "I went to Rome, Naples, and Milan."

He then recalled memories from the trip, sharing, "Isn't it so cool to drink something like coffee outdoors? And the coffee there is famous, it's delicious."

Jee Seokjin then asked, "What else is there besides a café latte? You know, that one," and the members began naming various types of coffee. Jee Seokjin finally managed to remember, shouting, "Ah, cappuccino!"

Watching this, Yu Jae-seok teased, "Hyung, how can you not remember that?" and added, "Ah, don't say anything, don't say anything." Jee Seokjin expressed his hurt feelings, responding, "Why do you keep ganging up on me like that, you punk?"

Jee Seokjin then tried to continue his cappuccino story. However, Yu Jae-seok cut him off by saying, "Stop it, I want to talk about something else," drawing laughter. Yu Jae-seok continued to nag, saying, "Talk about something else, it's not fun. We're meeting for the first time in three weeks, so why are you telling such a boring story?" In response, Jee Seokjin eventually let out a string of curses in frustration, sparking laughter.

When Jee Seokjin revealed that he walked 20,000 steps a day to keep up with his wife's travel schedule, HAHA asked, "Does that mean you're going to have a second child now?" Jee Seokjin then joked, "Let's go for a second child. If that baby is born, the name will be Roma—Jee Roma," drawing everyone's attention.

514 assaults over 3 hours and 20 minutes: what is the truth behind the Gangseo torture murder case?

On the October 24 broadcast of SBS's "Unanswered Questions," the program tracked the truth behind the Gangseo torture murder case.

On the afternoon of June 20, a call came in from a boyfriend asking for help, reporting that his cohabiting girlfriend was unconscious. Paramedics dispatched to a semi-basement room in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, but the woman was already in cardiac arrest.

The deceased woman was 28-year-old Lim Jan-di, an office worker at an IT company. However, suspicious marks were found on her body. Bruises covered her face and entire body, and her back bore traces of being struck multiple times with a blunt object.

When police arrived, the boyfriend, Jeon, who is four years younger than her, admitted to the assault. He claimed he struck the victim several times using a rubber mallet but had no intention to kill, arguing that it was an accidental mistake that occurred because he could not tolerate the victim's lies.

However, autopsy results revealed that as many as 21 ribs were fractured, rupturing major organs, leading forensic scientists to unanimously say, "This is torture."

Furthermore, a home camera installed in the house where the victim and perpetrator lived captured the shocking truth of that day. The perpetrator assaulted the victim 514 times over 3 hours and 20 minutes. Moreover, even though the front door was located right behind where the assault was taking place, the victim could not resist even once or dream of escaping, simply enduring the violence. What on earth had happened between them?

The victim's coworkers testified that her daily life had changed noticeably starting a year ago. The victim, who had been diligent and kind, began frequently stepping away from her desk during consultations starting a year ago, and made phone calls in the emergency stairwell every day. In addition, unusual signs such as facial bruising and limping were spotted, but it was revealed that she had been unable to ask anyone for help.

The victim bore traces of assaults that had begun at least six weeks prior. It was presumed that she endured her severe injuries with pain relief patches and painkillers. She spoke on the phone with the perpetrator, Jeon, every day, and during those calls, the perpetrator never listened to what the victim said and only repeated his own words.

The perpetrator claimed he had no intent to kill. His parents even went so far as to argue that it was the victim who had gaslighted the perpetrator. In addition, the perpetrator caused outrage with an absurd remark that he would support the bereaved family for life to make amends.

Peers who remembered him recalled him as being obstinate and incapable of properly controlling his emotions. Friends of the victim recalled that the two looked more like a mother and son than a romantic couple.

Many also remembered the perpetrator as an uncomfortable person to be around, noting that conflicts arose over trivial matters wherever he went.

The production team conducted digital forensics on the victim's mobile phone and verified thousands of documents and audio files. Notably, the victim's phone also contained records showing that she sought help from AI multiple times to answer the perpetrator's questions. The victim had made strenuous efforts to provide the answers he wanted to his riddle-like questions.

The production team also took note of the term "Gukpeu," which was repeatedly mentioned in the conversations between the two, and soon confirmed its true nature. Documenting and computerizing an unidentified structure—including a fictional country called "Dduriguk," a legislature, judiciary, financial institutions, and computerization—was what they referred to as "Gukpeu."

However, writing all the documents was entirely the victim's task, while the perpetrator was responsible for coding for computerization. Yet, it drew attention that right up until the incident occurred, the perpetrator had been unable to build even a simple website.

The production team met with the perpetrator directly and asked about "Gukpeu." In response, he said, "'Gukpeu' was a rule set by the two of us. It was a rule made to argue less." However, legal enforcement was carried out exclusively by the perpetrator.

The answer to this lay in a communication manual they had created.

There was a chilling rule stating: "Truth must be approached on one's own; deciding that everything will be resolved just by having this manual means death. Once comprehension begins, if there is additional communication, stop comprehending, receive all communication, and then begin comprehending. For one's own communication, writing simple keywords using a recording device is permitted. The moment you choose falsehood, no humane treatment whatsoever is possible. Once punishment begins, no justification or explanation is possible, and if I discover or perceive it myself, aggravated punishment will follow. Punishment will exceed whatever you imagine."

Amid the emergence of such bizarre evidence, the perpetrator was even claiming that he had been unable to receive psychiatric treatment due to a lack of money.

Regarding this, an expert pointed out, "The perpetrator is not assaulting the other person out of an emotional outburst. He acts like a cat playing with a mouse rather than eating it. He assaults the victim to a chilling degree in a gentle voice, without being heavily shaken emotionally."

In fact, on the day of the incident, the perpetrator mentioned death 16 times without ever raising his voice. He also caused chills by showing no agitation whatsoever even as the victim pleaded in pain multiple times.

Analyzing the perpetrator, the expert said, "'I am an extraordinary person. I build my world with that, derive satisfaction from it, and force it onto others. And if that is not achieved, I use violence,'" adding, "He possesses narcissistic abuse, malignant narcissism, and exploitative narcissism."

The expert continued, "Malignant narcissism is narcissism combined with antisocial traits. And the foundation of a narcissist is an inferiority complex," explaining that he controlled the victim to validate his own sense of superiority: "By controlling the female victim, he wants to feel that he is an extraordinary person."

Meanwhile, the perpetrator claimed that he was the victim, demanding 100 million won in compensation from the victim, further labeling this a project and even defining her as a debtor. Experts pointed out that this was an extension of economic exploitation.

They also expressed regret, noting that the rules meticulously planned over a long period and the habitual violence that followed those rules likely paralyzed the victim's judgment.

A legal expert analyzed, "The perpetrator must be viewed as having direct intent rather than willful negligence. A prison sentence of 10 to 20 years is possible."

However, the indictment left room for regret, as it only contained the murder scene on the day of her death. Regarding this, an expert voiced criticism, stating, "There is no aggravated punishment under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea for control through long-term gaslighting," and added, "The Republic of Korea is one of the most complacent nations. If the perpetrators' intent is not recognized, the problem is not just that they get out quickly, but that they will meet another woman."

Can Kim Ji-won save the patient once again?

The October 24 broadcast of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" (hereafter "Doctor X: Mafia in White") depicted Kye Soo-jung trying to persuade a patient suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

On this day, Kye Soo-jung headed to Gwangju to meet patient Oh Sang-beom, a victim of the May 18 Democratization (MINJU) Movement. To the patient who refused surgery, she said, "Surgery can fail, and if it fails, it means death. You don't have to undergo surgery. It will be uncomfortable, but you will still be alive."

She continued by asking, "But are you okay with just being alive like this, living in pain for a very long time?" She then drew attention by adding, "In the end, death is the same either way. If you do nothing, there is no possibility at all."

Ultimately persuaded by the many people who cared for him, Oh Sang-beom changed his mind and headed to Seoul. He bowed deeply to those who kept Faith and stayed by his side before boarding the train, deeply moving those watching.

When Kye Soo-jung asked Oh Sang-beom why he had never once left Gwangju, he replied, "Because I feel sorry," evoking sympathy.

Kye Soo-jung analyzed Oh Sang-beom's records to figure out why he was refusing surgery. She then asked, "I analyzed your imaging data. Patient Oh Sang-beom, do you see your older brother?"

Kye Soo-jung then said, "If you undergo surgery, your seizures, tremors, and other pains will lessen. Your visual and auditory hallucinations will also noticeably decrease. Therefore, there is little chance you will see your brother." To this, Oh Sang-beom asked, "My brother is a symptom? Not an illusion?" Kye Soo-jung replied, "You know that," adding, "The surgery will succeed. I do not fail." Oh Sang-beom then drew attention by stating that he would not undergo the surgery.

Leaving behind the patient who refused surgery, Kye Soo-jung returned home. However, she received a call that Oh Sang-beom had disappeared, and at the same time, news broke that the former president who had triggered the democratization movement was in critical condition.

Having refused surgery, Oh Sang-beom went up to the hospital rooftop. He prepared to throw himself off. And the older brother he always saw stopped him.

Just then, a helicopter arrived on the rooftop. The former president in critical condition had been airlifted in. Seeing this, Oh Sang-beom recalled the memory of being bombed in the past. He burst into tears, raising curiosity about how the story will unfold next.

Son Suk-ku showed great chemistry with Lee Seo-jin.

On the October 23 broadcast of SBS's "Whatever You Wish, Genie - My Genie Secretary" (hereinafter "My Genie Secretary"), the secretaries were shown taking care of their "My Star," Son Suk-ku.

On this day, the secretaries looked after Son Suk-ku, who visited Busan for his schedule at the Busan International Film Festival. Son Suk-ku, who had been excited at the thought of giving Lee Seo-jin a hard time, unexpectedly showed seamless teamwork with him, and Kim Kwang-kyu could not hide his envy.

After finishing all of their scheduled events, Son Suk-ku headed to an arcade with the secretaries. Calling himself a basketball master, Son Suk-ku drew attention by showing off basketball skills that surprised everyone.

He then expressed anticipation for Lee Seo-jin's skills, as Lee had mentioned watching a lot of basketball during his college years when Michael Jordan was in his prime. However, Lee Seo-jin's basketball skills fell short of expectations, leading Son Suk-ku to express disappointment, saying, "Seo-jin hyung is a bit of a disappointment. Why is he only capable of that much?"

Later, Son Suk-ku engaged in a shooting contest with Kim Kwang-kyu, who was also a former rifleman. Kim Kwang-kyu defied expectations by demonstrating solid skills. However, Son Suk-ku surprised everyone with marksmanship that surpassed him. Furthermore, he hit the highest score and even won a prize, drawing envy from Kim Kwang-kyu.

The three then held an after-party at a venue overlooking the Gwangalli sea. Son Suk-ku and Lee Seo-jin also drew attention by fluently ordering in English from a foreign server.

Son Suk-ku, who had previously mentioned Han Ji min, said, "Earlier, I suggested calling Ji min, but he said he didn't want to." In response, Lee Seo-jin told Kim Kwang-kyu to make the call.

Kim Kwang-kyu called Han Ji min, who was said to be in Busan, and said, "Actor Lee Seo-jin, whom you adore, and Suk-ku are here, so you should come." Han Ji min firmly replied, "I think you have the wrong number."

Furthermore, when told, "I heard you disciplined him a bit this time," Han Ji min showcased her enduring frenemy chemistry with Lee Seo-jin, drawing laughter by saying, "Throw that person into the ocean. Kick him into the ocean." Han Ji min also drew attention by commenting about Son Suk-ku, "He is practically Senior Seo-jin's successor."

At this, Son Suk-ku said, "Hi, Ji min. Let's be friends now," to which Han Ji min responded, "You must be crazy. How dare you." Until the end, Han Ji min urged, "Son Suk-ku, use formal language," bringing laughter. Seeing this, Lee Seo-jin expressed amusement, saying, "It's the first time I've seen anyone other than me get treated like that by Ji min. I thought to myself that you'll soon end up just like me."

On this day, the three also shared serious conversations about acting. The topic of filming bed scenes then came up naturally. When Son Suk-ku mentioned that he had even filmed a bed scene with a man, Lee Seo-jin brought up how Son Suk-ku had ranked No. 1 among gay men, remarking, "That's why gay men like you."

Son Suk-ku then asked Lee Seo-jin, who has never filmed a bed scene, "What would you do if you had to do it in a really great project?" Lee Seo-jin, who insisted he would never do one, stated that no matter what conditions were offered, he would refuse. Watching this, Kim Kwang-kyu asked, "What if they offer money? 100 million dollars." Lee Seo-jin replied, "Of course I would have to do it, I'd even do it for about 10 minutes," and drew bursts of laughter by adding that even a bed scene with Kim Kwang-kyu would be OK.

After filming wrapped up, when asked who he would want as his manager for a month if given the chance again, Son Suk-ku chose Lee Seo-jin, drawing attention by saying, "Don't try to link us together. But it seems like we match really well."

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a preview showed Ha Jiwon and Lee Seo-jin—the leads of the drama "Damo"—reuniting as star and manager after 23 years, raising anticipation for the next episode.

Son Suk-ku was excited at the thought of having Lee Seo-jin wait on him.

On the October 23 broadcast of SBS's "Mueosideun Haejuljini - My Genie Secretary" (hereinafter "My Genie Secretary"), the secretaries were shown rushing to Busan to meet their "my star."

On the broadcast that day, Kim Kwang-kyu arrived in Busan a day early and appeared early in the morning with a bright expression. He went on to say, "When I followed our 'Son-star' on Instagram, he contacted me right away. He told me to make Seo-jin do the hard work."

The production team then revealed the DM Kim Kwang-kyu received from Son Suk-ku. Son Suk-ku had written, "Sunbaenim, please take good care of me tomorrow. Thank you for coming such a long way. I will see you tomorrow. Since we worked on a project together, I will make sure you are comfortable. Please leave the tough work to Seo-jin sunbaenim."

In response, Son Suk-ku said, "When I worked on a project with Kwang-kyu hyung in the past, he told me something along the lines of 'Work Seo-jin hard.' That was when my producing instincts kicked in again. So today, I'm going to have Seo-jin hyung drive and act sensitive about the water temperature," drawing laughter as he planned out teasing Lee Seo-jin—a scheme that thrilled him just imagining it.

Kim Ji-won punished Jang Seung-jo.

On the October 23 broadcast of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White," Gye Soo-jung was shown discovering Na Dae-il's true nature and punishing him.

On this day, Gye Soo-jung performed surgery on Na Dae-il after abnormal findings were detected during his health checkup. Trembling with anxiety, Na Dae-il asked Gye Soo-jung what she had done to him.

Gye Soo-jung then drew attention by provoking him, saying, "It doesn't hurt, it's not visible to others, and it's not visible to your own eyes either. It will disappear after a week, so what's the big deal? Don't expect a miracle to happen where it still remains after 10 years for you. Oh, but do you think I only carved initials like you did?"

Gye Soo-jung was giving Na Dae-il a taste of his own medicine after he had carved initials into Kwon Choong-hyun's organs and made reckless remarks. At this, Na Dae-il flew into a frenzy and threatened Gye Soo-jung, ultimately leaving a wound on Gye Soo-jung's arm.

Seeing this, Jang Hee-sook subdued Na Dae-il, saying, "You just touched the biggest moneymaker in our office. Right now, she feeds all of us, huh? This won't do. You need to get beaten by me today." Yang Eung-gu and Yoo Mi-kyung, who had come along for a team dinner, joined in as well, pinning Na Dae-il down so he could not move.

Boo Seung-kwon, unaware of the details behind the incident, said to Jang Hee-sook, "Dr. Gye Soo-jung causes trouble no matter what floor she is on. Now it really seems like we have to terminate the contract," signaling the termination of Gye Soo-jung's contract.

In response, Jang Hee-sook sent a photo to Boo Seung-kwon and piqued curiosity by saying, "Take a look. Didn't I tell you a red tag would be attached? Shall we go ahead and seize some assets now?"

Afterward, Gye Soo-jung was reinstated as a surgeon. Boo Seung-kwon went to meet Na Dae-il, who was detained for causing a disturbance at the hospital, and told him, "Thanks to you, I ended up reinstating Gye Soo-jung to the surgery department."

Boo Seung-kwon then mentioned receiving a photo from Jang Hee-sook and brought up what Na Dae-il had done to Kwon Choong-hyun.

At this, Na Dae-il sneered as if it were no big deal, saying, "Do you think I didn't know Kwon Choong-hyun covered it up? Besides, I'm a first-time offender, with diminished capacity due to stress. I'm a doctor, and even a military medical officer who dedicated nearly 20 years to the country. The courts really love that kind of thing."

Hearing this, Boo Seung-kwon reacted with anger, saying, "I will ruin you. Sure, at most it will be a year, and once you get out and wait just three years, you will probably get your license reinstated. But listen carefully: I will put my license on the line to make sure your license is permanently revoked. Because of you, I had to bring the most dangerous doctor into my hospital. You will pay dearly for that."

Na Dae-il then drew attention by saying, "You will collapse first, Director. The visitor after you is the lawyer provided by Mokryeonhoe," adding, "You will probably need one. The one who will truly bring down you and the hospital is Gye Soo-jung, who is in the operating room right now. I'm looking forward to it. How far Gye Soo-jung will go, and how long you will endure, Director."

However, Na Dae-il broke down upon seeing the pathology report handed to him by the lawyer sent by Mokryeonhoe. The report stated that no benign tumor tissue had been found.

And Na Dae-il recalled what Gye Soo-jung had told him. Gye Soo-jung had threatened him, saying, "No matter which hospital you go to or who treats you. I open your body and I close it. I'll play with you until you're in tatters. You know now, don't you? That I can do that whenever I want." In response, Na Dae-il erupted, saying, "Why me? What did I do wrong?" piquing curiosity about what will happen to him next.
