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 (14th) morning, the production presentation for NCT DREAM's 5th studio album ‘Go Back To The Future’ will take place.
NCT DREAM's 5th studio album ‘Go Back To The Future’ tells the story of NCT DREAM embarking on a time travel journey to find the most brilliant ‘me’, conveying their unique message through the double title tracks ‘BTTF’ (Back To The Future) and ‘CHILLER’ that connect the past, present, and future.
‘BTTF’ carries a message of realizing a regret-free past at a crossroads where one can change the past and moving towards the most brilliant future, while ‘CHILLER’ depicts enjoying the present self confidently and joyfully, traversing the narrative of ‘BTTF’. Expectations are rising for how NCT DREAM will showcase the narrative they have built over the past 9 years and their confidence in moving towards a new future through these two title tracks.
Additionally, this album is filled with tracks that capture both new and quintessentially NCT DREAM emotions and messages, including the interestingly themed ‘I LIKE IT’, the energetic cheering song ‘DREAM TEAM’, the dreamy sound that transitions the atmosphere in ‘Interlude: Back to Our Paradise’, ‘My Shower (’Bout You)’ where a fateful encounter colors the heart transparently, ‘When the Summer Wind Blows (That Summer)’ depicting clumsy memories of first love, ‘Dawn Star (Miss Me)’ capturing the poignant moment of parting, and ‘Sailing (Beautiful Sailing)’ reflecting on the past journey and aiming for a bigger sea.
For the storytelling of this album, NCT DREAM has built a vast ‘time travel’ universe set in the years 2016 (the past), 2025 (the present), and the distant future (the absolute present). To faithfully realize the concept inspired by the movie ‘Back To The Future’, they received official approval for the homage from the original creators, Universal Studios and Amblin Entertainment, and combined elements symbolizing NCT DREAM's identity with the key devices from the film to complete their unique ‘time travel universe’.
Netflix's movie ‘84 Square Meters’ will hold a production report today (14th) morning. Actors Kang Ha-neul, Yeom Hye-ran, Seo Hyun-woo, and director Kim Tae-jun will be present.
‘84 Square Meters’ is an unpredictable thriller about Woosung (Kang Ha-neul), who successfully bought an 84 square meter apartment, suffering from mysterious noise from above. Set in a standard 84 square meter apartment, ‘84 Square Meters’ captures the suspense between characters surrounding the noise, and is the second thriller from director Kim Tae-jun, who received acclaim for his sophisticated direction in ‘I Just Dropped My Smartphone’ that captures realistic fears and thrills that can be imagined in everyday life.
The realistic character of the ‘real estate generation’ and the everyday setting of an apartment, combined with the mystery of the unknown noise from above, will create unpredictable situations that deliver tension, showcasing the charm of the thriller genre to captivate viewers worldwide. Moreover,
actors Kang Ha-neul, Yeom Hye-ran, and Seo Hyun-woo, who have completed persuasive characters with solid acting skills, will portray characters commonly found in apartments, chasing their desires and creating a hot synergy, promising to present a new side that captivates viewers. Additionally, the delicate and realistic production process that recreates the apartments around us is expected to enhance the immersion of the film.
On the afternoon of the 14th, the production presentation for JTBC's Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Good Man’ will take place. Director Song Hae-sung, Lee Dong-wook, Lee Sung-kyung, Park Hoon, Oh Na-ra, and Ryu Hye-young will be present.
‘The Good Man’ is an emotional noir featuring Park Seok-cheol, the eldest son of a three-generation gangster family, and his first love, Kang Mi-young, who dreams of becoming a singer. The intense love of two individuals who throw everything away for their precious ones and their journey to find their dreams amidst harsh realities will provide a warm laugh and deep resonance.
Director Song Hae-sung, known for his delicate direction in films like ‘Paju’ and ‘The Aging Family’, and director Park Hong-soo from the drama ‘Human Disqualification’ are in charge of directing, raising expectations. Additionally, the collaboration of writer Kim Un-kyung, who received great love for works like ‘Yuna's Street’ and ‘Seoul's Moon’, and writer Kim Hyo-seok from the movie ‘The Opposition’ ensures quality.
Furthermore, the fact that this is the first drama from Hive Media Corp, a production company recognized for its solid planning and production capabilities through works like ‘The Spring of Seoul’ and ‘The Chief of Namsan’, heightens anticipation. Above all, the synergy created by trusted actors Lee Dong-wook, Lee Sung-kyung, Park Hoon, Oh Na-ra, Ryu Hye-young, and Cheon Ho-jin is drawing attention.
