Lee Na Young Makes A Bold Live Broadcast Exposé Against Seo Hyun Woo In “Honour”

Lee Na Young Makes A Bold Live Broadcast Exposé Against Seo Hyun Woo In “Honour”

Lee Na Young will deliver a real-time exposé during a live broadcast in tonight’s episode of “Honour”! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that tells the story of three lawyers who confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as founding partners of the law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers The previous episode ended with Yoon Ra Young (Lee Na Young) falling into a trap orchestrated by Park Je Yeol (Seo Hyun Woo) and was forced into a tense, one-on-one confrontation with him in the darkness. Adding to the shock, another victim of sexual exploitation—whom Park Je Yeol had drawn into the secret app “Connect In” after receiving a suspended indictment—was discovered unconscious in a hotel room. The revelation of Park Je Yeol’s brutal domestic violence toward his wife Hong Yeon Hee (Baek Eun Hye) further fueled calls for justice against both him and the illicit prostitution app. In today’s episode, the showdown between Yoon Ra Young and Park Je Yeol will intensify as both are pushed to the brink. In the preview, Park Je Yeol delivers a chilling warning: “I gave you plenty of chances. Go ahead—let’s see you break.” Yet Yoon Ra Young refuses to back down. Standing once again before a live broadcast camera, she calmly declares, “There is a secret prostitution app. And a current prosecutor is involved,” publicly exposing the truth in real time. The explosive revelation, broadcast nationwide, is expected to shake the entire country. Watching the broadcast, Kang Shin Jae (Jung Eun Chae) and Hwang Hyun Jin (Lee Chung Ah) are left visibly shaken, underscoring the enormous fallout the exposé is likely to trigger. Meanwhile, Park Je Yeol—who has always maintained a composed facade—finally erupts in rage. Scenes of him losing control in his office and later appearing flustered as he is cornered by reporters hint at a cathartic turning point to come. Attention is now focused on whether Yoon Ra Young’s determined exposé can dismantle the powerful cartel surrounding both Park Je Yeol and “Connect In.” The production team commented, “Episode 8 will center on the aftermath of Yoon Ra Young’s decisive revelation and the situation Park Je Yeol finds himself in as a result. Viewers can also look forward to another thrilling ending that will raise the bar once again. Please don’t miss the broadcast.” Episode 8 of “Honour” will air on February 24 at 10 p.m. KST.

Han Ji Min Dishes On Her Character In Upcoming Drama “The Practical Guide To Love”

Han Ji Min Dishes On Her Character In Upcoming Drama “The Practical Guide To Love”

Han Ji Min has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “The Practical Guide to Love”! “The Practical Guide to Love” tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to pursue love. When she meets Song Tae Seop (Park Sung Hoon) and Shin Ji Su (Lee Ki Taek), two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them—prompting a journey to discover what true love really means. On why she chose to star in the drama, Han Ji Min shared, “I was drawn to the script because it portrays realistic stories and concerns about love that we often see around us, especially for people at a marriageable age.” She added, “Lee Ui Yeong’s greatest and most appealing trait is her honesty. Whether she is working, interacting with friends, meeting a blind date, or struggling with love, she never loses that honesty,” expressing her affection for the character. While Lee Ui Yeong thrives at work thanks to her competence and the trust of her colleagues, she has been stuck in a rut when it comes to dating. Han Ji Min explained, “Lee Ui Yeong feels like an ordinary person anyone could think of among their acquaintances. I personally thought of one or two friends like her as well.” She continued, “Focusing solely on work and then one day finding yourself thinking seriously about marriage feels like a natural life flow that many people go through. Lee Ui Yeong isn’t a flashy or extraordinary character—she feels more like a friend who could be right beside you, which makes her all the more appealing.” Han Ji Min also revealed that she resonated with Lee Ui Yeong’s relationship with her mother, Park Jung Im (Kim Jung Young). She shared that the character’s close, almost friend-like relationship with her mother resembles her own real-life relationship. She commented, “In real life, I often travel with my mother and we’re like friends. It made me think that I want to become even closer and more affectionate with her in the future.” Lastly, Han Ji Min shared what viewers should focus on in the drama, saying, “I hope viewers can comfortably follow Lee Ui Yeong’s emotions. The show realistically portrays the feelings we experience during cycles of meeting and breaking up, as well as the excitement, worries, and anxieties we face before a new love.” She concluded, “If you were Lee Ui Yeong, which choice would you make between Song Tae Seop and Shin Ji Su? I hope viewers will think about it from Lee Ui Yeong’s perspective.”
