K-pop star Seungri has become a model for the online dating app Tinder in Korea, YG Entertainment announced Thursday.

In one of the ads, Seungri is dressed in a suit and holds a champagne glass. In another, he is dressed casually with a smartphone in his hand.

“Friends of many nationalities that I meet through tours abroad and business use Tinder a lot,” said Seungri in a press release. “It’s a good fit for me, as I enjoy meeting new people,” he said on modeling for the app.

Produce 48: The Korean Trainees You May Recognise

[adenar.livejournal.com]

On Produce 101, the first season of the Produce franchise, there were few trainees that the public had already seen, barring the few at-the-time controversial competitors who were already part of debuted groups. Audition shows and publicising your trainees has become much more commonplace since the first season, when it was already on the rise, and so in Produce 48 there may be quite a few Korean trainees that you may recognise besides the already-debuted Japanese competitors.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

The Mapo Police Precinct is investigating a photo studio in Hapjeong-dong, western Seoul, after a YouTube star came forward with allegations on Thursday that its photographers coerced her into taking nude photos and sexually assaulted her.

Yang Ye-won, who runs a YouTube channel called “Beagle Couple,” uploaded a video to the channel recounting her experience at the photo studio after sexually explicit photos of her appeared on pornographic websites earlier this month. “I was a victim of sexual assault,” she said.

Yoon Shi Yoon and Lee Yoo Young cast in SBS drama

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

“Dear Judge” is an upcoming drama that will tell the story of two identical twins, Han Soo Ho and Han Kang Ho (both played by Yoon Shi Yoon), who look exactly alike but lead entirely different lives. Han Soo Ho is a respectable judge who does everything by the book, while Han Kang Ho is not only a convicted criminal but a repeat offender. When Han Soo Ho suddenly disappears, Han Kang Ho ends up taking his brother’s place and living a new life as a judge. Lee Yoo Young will play the role of a student in the Judicial Research and Training Institute who values the dignity of humans over the law. She gets to know Han Soo Ho as she completes her training in his department.

“Dear Judge” is scheduled to begin airing in July, following the end of “The Undateables.”

Shin Hye Sun, Yang Se Jong, and Ahn Hyeo Seop confirmed for SBS Drama

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

Shin Hye Sun’s role in “I’m 30 But 17” is that of Woo Seo Ri, who has been in a coma for 13 years, giving her the body of a 30-year-old woman and the mindset of a 17-year-old girl. She is a star violinist who gets into an accident and wakes up 13 years later. Yang Se Jong will be playing the role of Gong Woo Jin, a stage designer who was the victim of trauma at 17 and has closed himself off from other people ever since. Ahn Hyo Seop will be playing Yoo Chan, the captain of the rowing club of Taesan High School. He is a high-spirited athlete with fortitude and strength. Although he is a boy with hearty laughter and a charming, cheerful personality, he is competitive when it comes to sports.

“I’m 30 But 17” is scheduled to air after “Wok of Love” ends in July and will be directed by Jo Soo Won and written by Jo Sung Hee.

"Body of a 30-year-old and mindset of a 17-year-old" is very much a no for me.
