Seo In Guk Dishes On His New Drama “Boyfriend On Demand,” Chemistry With BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, And More
Seo In Guk recently sat down with Singles Korea magazine to discuss his new Netflix series “Boyfriend on Demand.” Helmed by director Kim Jung Sik of “Work Later, Drink Now” and “Not Others,” “Boyfriend on Demand” is a romantic comedy that follows Seo Mi Rae (BLACKPINK’s Jisoo), an overworked webtoon producer who subscribes to a virtual dating simulation service to experience the dates of her dreams. On why he chose to star in the drama, Seo In Guk shared, “I think what first drew me in was the world-building. The concept was fascinating because it goes beyond a simple romance—experiencing a virtual dating simulation, and the way the story unfolds felt unique.” He continued, “The character Seo Mi Rae experiences various romantic situations in a virtual reality setting, so the show’s backgrounds are visually striking, which adds to the fun. Following Seo Mi Rae’s emotional journey and also tracking the emotional arc of my character Kyeong Nam lets you enjoy the drama even more. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself fully immersed in the drama. It gradually draws you in.” Talking about his character Kyeong Nam, Seo In Guk remarked, “He’s a character who often gets misunderstood. On the surface, he seems very cold and highly competitive, but when it comes to work, he’s a pro who handles tasks flawlessly. In some ways, he’s a bit clumsy too. He’s not a one-dimensional character—he has many sides, so I hope viewers can see him as a character with these various points.” Seo In Guk also talked about his co-star BLACKPINK’s Jisoo. He commended Jisoo, saying she is naturally so lovely and perfectly matched with the character Seo Mi Rae. He went on to reveal that she was the mood maker on set, and that as filming progressed, he sometimes felt like Jisoo and Mi Rae were the same person. On the similarities between him and his character, the actor commented, “I don’t think I’m as serious as Kyeong Nam. People who don’t know me might see me as serious, but I have a playful side. Kyeong Nam, however, is a calm person. He’s a little awkward at expressing himself, which is different from me. I tend to be more honest with my emotions than Kyeong Nam.” When asked if there were any memorable moments while filming the drama, he shared, “There was an important emotional scene, and that day, the wind was unusually strong during filming. It was supposed to snow in the scene, so we had to do multiple takes. It was quite late, and the owner of a nearby clothing store must have felt sorry for us because we were struggling so much. I remember they willingly offered us their shop to rest in during the setup time. It made me feel that the world is a warm place.” Regarding his expectations for 2026, Seo In Guk, who described 2026 as a “Year of Blooming” in a past interview, commented, “I don’t have big wishes. I just hope that the things I’ve carefully prepared go well. These are works created with effort from many people, not just the result of my individual effort. Even today’s photoshoot was like that. I hope the final result, born from all these efforts from many people, achieves satisfying success.” On his future plans, the actor remarked, “I’m working on a new album. I’m putting in a lot of effort since fans are waiting for it. Working with new composers is exciting for me as well. I’m preparing things step by step, so I hope everyone looks forward to it. Also, the drama I’m currently filming, “Back to Work!” (literal title), already has great chemistry, so I’m excited to see how it turns out. This year, I plan to show many different sides of myself, so please wait just a little longer.” Seo In Guk’s full interview is available in the March issue of Singles Magazine.

They navigate hectic days, each working hard to reach their own goals. The newly released teaser highlights the stark contrast between Go Gyeol and Jo Eun Ae.

Heo Sung Tae Makes Special Appearance As Yoo Yeon Seok’s First Ghost Client In New Drama “Phantom Lawyer”
SBS’s upcoming drama “Phantom Lawyer” has unveiled new stills of Heo Sung Tae in a special appearance! “Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law. The drama tells the stories of deceased individuals who suffered unjust fates. Crossing the lines between law and reality, each special case resolves lingering grudges in the living world, creating a distinct episode in every installment. Among them, actor Heo Sung Tae makes a special appearance in the first episode. He plays Lee Kang Poong, the first client lawyer Shin I Rang has seen since becoming possessed. The reasons he carries grudges and why he remains in the living world are still a mystery. In a newly released still, Lee Kang Poong’s pale, bloodless face stands out. The scene sparks curiosity about what kind of case will arise from the unusual encounter between the possessed lawyer Shin I Rang and the ghostly client with lingering grudges. Behind the scenes, a completely different vibe is captured. Yoo Yeon Seok and Heo Sung Tae stand side by side, flashing peace signs and smiling brightly, adding to the cheerful energy on set. The production team said, “Lee Kang Poong is especially meaningful as the first client to open the world of ‘Phantom Lawyer.’ He is the character who first introduces the unique concept of the ‘grievance-settling defense,’ which resolves the lingering grudges of deceased individuals with unjust fates.” They added, “We are grateful to actor Heo Sung Tae for willingly taking on this important role. His appearance will properly signal the start of the grievance-settling adventure. Please look forward to his powerful performance in the first broadcast, just four days away.”
Jung Eun Chae Prepares To Marry Yeon Woo Jin Amid Her Fight Against Her Corrupt Mother In “Honour”
“Honour” has unveiled new stills of Jung Eun Chae in a wedding dress! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that follows three lawyers as they confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as the founding partners of law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers In the previous episode, Kang Shin Jae (Jung Eun Chae) finally learned the real reason Baek Tae Joo (Yeon Woo Jin) had become engaged to her. He had created the secret prostitution app “Connect In” as part of a plan to expose and destroy a powerful cartel of corrupt elites. To execute his scheme, he placed Kang Shin Jae and the lawyers of L&J onto the chessboard he had carefully designed, using them whenever he needed to amplify issues and attract public attention. Most crucially, Kang Shin Jae turned out to be the daughter of Sung Tae Im (Kim Mi Sook)—the head of the powerful legacy code organization “Haeil,” which Baek Tae Joo aimed to bring down. Provoked by his words that she would understand why Haeil had to disappear if she opened her mother’s safe, Kang Shin Jae opened what felt like Pandora’s box. Inside, she discovered the long-missing list of sexual bribery clients that had vanished from the prosecution’s office 20 years earlier, leaving her in shock. Yet even in front of her daughter, Sung Tae Im showed no sign of hesitation and remained brazenly confident. Asking, “Did you enjoy being righteous?” she reminded Kang Shin Jae of the harsh truth that the ground she stood on in the name of justice was built upon Haeil—a system that had thrived by protecting power and money while concealing corruption. Kang Shin Jae realized that while she believed she had chosen a different path from her mother, she had in fact been fighting only battles she could win under the wings her mother had given her, mistakenly believing she was changing the world. She also came to understand that Sung Tae Im would deny the existence of “Connect In” to the end and keep protecting her clients, even if it meant leaving Yoon Ra Young (Lee Na Young) imprisoned. Determined to act, Kang Shin Jae used a video given to her by Baek Tae Joo to prove her friend had acted in self-defense—choosing a path that meant she would walk into hell alongside him. Newly released stills show Kang Shin Jae wearing a wedding dress as she prepares for her marriage to Baek Tae Joo. Preview clips and trailers have also revealed that she holds a USB drive Baek Tae Joo gave her—described as “the detonator that will destroy Haeil, the root of this cartel”—and plans to expose the organization. Meanwhile, her longtime friend Yoon Ra Young, who has known her for 20 years, questions her suspicious actions, saying, “This isn’t like Shin Jae.” This raises curiosity about whether Kang Shin Jae has truly joined forces with the architect of “Connect In” to follow Baek Tae Joo’s plan to destroy Haeil, or whether her actions are part of a much larger scheme to overturn everything. However, it remains uncertain whether Kang Shin Jae’s whistleblowing will immediately bring Haeil to justice. Sung Tae Im is a formidable villain who has covered up countless scandals while conditioning the public to believe that “even if you are angry, the world will never change.” Known as an iron-willed woman who has never failed to achieve what she wants, she stands as a towering force of corruption. Although the mother and daughter have long clashed while looking in different directions, Kang Shin Jae has now made the drastic choice to sever even their blood ties. Whether her whistleblowing will bring down the powerful Haeil and truly change the world—and what Kang Shin Jae’s true intentions are—remains a major question. Episode 11 of “Honour” airs on March 9 at 10 p.m. KST.
