Some new narrators are filling in this week. It's Jang Yun-Jeong and Do Kyung-Wan...Kkomkkom's mom and dad! They announced the news that they are expecting a new baby this past spring. So nice to see them on the show again. William and Bentley are visiting Singapore for the first time. Seungjae does not want it to be Jiyong's birthday, but his mom prepares a surprise to celebrate. Siha meets with Sian and his sisters for the first time. They think he's a girl and get a shock at the end of the day.

Previews for "Thirty But Seventeen"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

"Thirty But Seventeen" will feature our two leads who find themselves in the same predicament under different circumstances: Shin Hye Sun’s character fell into a coma at seventeen, and wakes up thirteen years later in a thirty year-old body. The male lead, played by Yang Se Jong, on the other hand, experiences a traumatic event when he’s seventeen and decides to become a hermit. Ahn Hyo Seop will play nineteen-year-old Yoo Chan, who is the captain of his high school’s rowing team. He acts as a warm and caring guardian for the two leading characters Woo Seo Ri and his uncle Go Woo Jin. As both are unfamiliar with how the world around them works, having been disconnected from society for a long time, Ahn Hyo Seop will help guide them through their troubles and watch over them.

PD Jo Soo-won, known for his work on I Can Hear Your Voice and Pinocchio, will be directing, while writer Jo Sung-hee, of High School King of Savvy and She Was Pretty, is in charge of the script.

Previews for "Life"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

"Life," the new drama from Secret Forest writer Lee Soo-yeon, is set in a hospital, where there seems to be a conflict of principles among the staff. Lee Dong-wook will be playing Ye Jin-woo, an ER specialist who values the calling to save lives. He will face off against Jo Seung-woo’s Gu Seung-hyo, the new General Director of the hospital where the drama takes place. Director Gu is all about the numbers, and his values state that hospitals are businesses, and medicine is an industry.

Yoo Jae-myung plays the head of the thoracic surgery center Joo Kyung-moon. Won Jin Ah takes on the role of pediatric specialist Lee No Eul. Moon Sori playa Oh Se-hwa, the first ever female head of the neurosurgery center, who looks like a force to be reckoned with. Lee Kyu-hyung, Eom Hyo-sub, Chun Ho-jin, Moon Sung-geun, and Yeom Hye-ran round out the impressive lineup.

Previews for "Risky Romance"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

Upcoming drama “Risky Romance” is about the romantic chaos that occurs when hormone-obsessed endocrinologist Joo In Ah (played by Lee Si Young) picks competitive neurosurgeon Han Seung Joo (Ji Hyun Woo) as her research subject. Kim Jin Yeop plays Cha Jae Hwan, the son of the hospital director, and Yoon Joo Hee plays announcer Joo Se Ra. The drama is directed by Lee Chang Han, who previously directed “I Need Romance,” and writer Kim Nam Hee, who previously wrote “Cheese in the Trap.”

The relationship chart shares a little more about interesting relationship between the main leads. Joo In Ah picks Han Seung Joo as her research subject, while Han Seung Joo curiously regards Joo In Ah as someone to take revenge on. Cha Jae Hwan and Han Seung Joo have a senior-junior relationship, while Cha Jae Hwan is interested in Joo In Ah. Joo Se Ra, revealed to be Joo In Ah’s stepsister with whom she has a hostile relationship with, is interested in Cha Jae Hwan. Another notable relationship is Lee Mi Woon (played by INA) who is Joo Se Ra’s roommate.

Head of the hospital is Cha Jae Hwan’s father Cha Jung Tae (played by Jeon No Min). Hospital staff in the neurosurgery department includes the head of the department Jang Ji Yeon (played by Sun Woo Sun) and 2nd year resident Jung Hyun Woo (played by Jang Se Hyun). In the endocrinology department, there is the head of the department Yoo Sang Bum (played by Choi Ryung), specialist Lee Jin Kyung (played by Bae Seul Gi), and 1st year resident Choi Jae Seung (played by Shin Won Ho).

Additional Reading: KPOP Songwriting, Song Camps, and Producing

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

in case anyone is looking for more insight and explination about how song camps work for kpop I pulled a bunch of articles and vids.

KPOP song camps work similar to the ones in country and pop music and with the frequency kpop agencies put out music these camps happen all year long and usually within the span of a week a writer can write for multiple agencies, unless contracted specifically to one. KPOP idols who write also particiapte in these camps too by bringing their own songs and work to workshop with other writers - like in the Luna video linked below.

some of these might have been posts of their own but I figured compiling them would be easier than searching back for individual posts.
