In the busy entertainment industry, various works are being introduced today, and new artists are stepping in front of the public. Let's take a look at today's main schedule.
Today (1st), a press conference and red carpet event for the movie ‘Jurassic World: New Beginnings’ will take place. Attending the event will be actors Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and director Gareth Edwards.
‘Jurassic World: New Beginnings’ tells the story of ‘Zora’ and ‘Dr. Henry’ who enter the most dangerous island on Earth, where the secret laboratory of the original Jurassic Park is located, to save humanity. They discover shocking truths that have been hidden and must survive amidst the threats of dinosaurs.
Scarlett Johansson plays the role of special operations expert ‘Zora’, hinting at a new transformation, and emphasized that this movie is one that the whole family can enjoy together. One of the reasons she participated in this project was to provide a memorable movie-watching experience for young children. Mahershala Ali plays ‘Duncan’, a veteran captain who embarks on the journey with ‘Zora’.
The reason this film can be enjoyed by all ages is that director Gareth Edwards based his vision on ‘Jurassic Park’. He captures the atmosphere and style of the original while promising the birth of a work that spans generations.
In the afternoon of the 1st, a press conference for tvN's new weekend drama ‘Seocho-dong’ will be held. Attending the event will be director Park Seung-woo, Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young, Kang Yoo-seok, Ryu Hye-young, and Lim Sung-jae.
‘Seocho-dong’ is a drama that depicts the growth and emotional journey of five associate lawyers who commute to the Seocho-dong legal town every day.
Lee Jong-suk plays the role of Ahn Joo-hyung, a 9-year associate lawyer at the law firm Kyungmin. Ahn Joo-hyung is a rational type who excludes emotions and defends clients based on logic and facts, showcasing thoroughness and skills by reviewing recent case law and skillfully exploiting the weaknesses of both clients and opponents.
Moon Ga-young plays the role of Kang Hee-ji, a first-year associate lawyer at the law firm Jo-hwa. Kang Hee-ji is an empathetic lawyer who wants to comfort not only the client's case but also their heart. She maintains contact with clients she has connected with through cases and discovers clues through deep conversations with them.
Kang Yoo-seok plays Jo Chang-won, who is affiliated with the law firm Chung-gong. This character leads a tumultuous life meeting various clients under a money-driven lead lawyer. He becomes a reluctant companion to a client imprisoned and also a strong ally to a fraud victim, highlighting the variety of Jo Chang-won's life in Seocho-dong.
Ryu Hye-young plays Bae Moon-jung, an associate lawyer at the law firm Kyungmin. Bae Moon-jung has a warm personality but is meticulous when it comes to work. Although she appears to be playing and resting every day, she is a capable individual who ensures all necessary documents are prepared and checks even the smallest details without missing anything. Attention is focused on the hidden strength behind Bae Moon-jung's lovely smile.
Lim Sung-jae plays Ha Sang-ki, who is affiliated with a law office. Ha Sang-ki is a capitalist lawyer who smiles broadly at any incentive, showcasing a scholarly side as he enjoys discussing case details with lead lawyer Kim Ryu-jin (played by Kim Ji-hyun) every night.
In the afternoon of the 1st, a media showcase for the first mini-album ‘WHO WE ARE’ by the group Nine (AHOF·Steven, Seo Jeong-woo, Cha Woong-ki, Zhang Shuai-bo, Park Han, J.L, Park Joo-won, Zuan, Daisuke) will be held.
Nine (AHOF) stands for ‘All time Hall Of Famer’, reflecting the ambitious aspirations of nine boys dreaming of becoming global stars and aiming to enter the ‘K-Pop Hall of Fame’. At the same time, Nine (AHOF) symbolizes the unfinished number ‘9’, implying that they are a team with more potential and growth yet to be realized.
Over about two weeks, they have ignited the excitement for their debut by revealing various concept photos, intro films, tracklists, highlight medleys, and music video teasers. Now, they are taking their first steps towards the K-Pop Hall of Fame with their first album ‘WHO WE ARE’, filled with their unique narrative. Expectations are rising for their new appearances, accompanied by bold confidence.
‘WHO WE ARE’ marks the beginning of the process of finding the color and story of the team Nine (AHOF) before reaching ‘perfection’. The story of the boys, which begins with ‘sincerity’ rather than ‘brightness’, is included. The album features a total of six tracks, including the debut title ‘Let’s Meet Again There (Rendezvous)’, ‘Boys, Falling on Stage (Intro)’, ‘Blue School, Green Grass, Red Sneakers’, ‘It Won't Be Incomplete’, ‘The Best Loser in the Universe’, and ‘Nine, We Are the Shining Number (Outro)’. The anxieties, wanderings, and previously unconnected emotions of each member flow into a single narrative through the six songs, breaking away from the typical ‘boy image’ and expressing the familiar tremors and longings felt by everyone living in this era.
‘Let’s Meet Again There (Rendezvous)’ is a band track that reflects complex emotions over a dreamy sound created by guitar and drums. It depicts the moments where a boy's imperfection and hope intersect, conveying the feelings of wanting to return to certain moments and the emotions left unexpressed within them.
Meanwhile, Nine (AHOF) will officially debut in the music industry by releasing ‘WHO WE ARE’ on July 1st across various online music platforms.
