Ryu Soo-young Breaks Down in Tears Recalling Near-Loss of His Daughter; 'Tails of Tales' to Find Long-Term Missing Children
등록일2026.04.30
Actor Ryu Soo-young shed tears while confessing during a recording that he once nearly lost his daughter. Airing on the 30th, SBS's 'Tails of Tales' will shed light on a series of kidnappings, murders, and disappearances of infants and toddlers that occurred in a single village starting in 1991, and will launch a Nationwide Project to Find Long-Term Missing Children. Actors Ryu Soo-young, Keum Sae-rok, and TWS member SHINYU will appear as listeners on this episode. The episode tracks the full story of a tragic case that has remained unsolved for over 30 years. In 1991, a total of five children, ranging from a six-day-old newborn to a five-year-old girl, were either kidnapped or murdered in the Daecheon area, sending shockwaves through society at the time. In particular, when the cruelty of the case―in which a five-year-old girl who had been sleeping next to her mother was found dead in a rice paddy the next day―was revealed, guest Keum Sae-rok expressed her outrage, saying, I'm so angry, while TWS member SHINYU was left speechless, stating, This is truly unimaginable, leaving the studio in a state of shock. Ryu Soo-young, an actor and father of a daughter, spoke with difficulty, saying, I also once nearly lost my daughter. He shared his feelings at the time, stating, I went through hell several times during those 30 seconds I spent searching for her. Deeply empathizing with the pain of parents of missing children, he eventually broke down in tears, drawing sympathy from those around him. In celebration of Family Month in May, 'Tails of Tales' is launching a Nationwide Project that utilizes the latest generative AI-based age progression technology from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) AI && Robotics Institute to create videos showing the current estimated appearances of missing children. Over the past six months, 26 celebrities and public figures―including Choi Kwang-il, Kim Na-young, STAYC's Sieun, Han Ji-hye, Shin So-yul, AtHeart's Arin, Son Dam-bi, LUCY's Shin Ye-chan, Lee Guk-joo, Choi Jin-hyuk, Billlie's TSUKI, Ko Woo-rim, fromis_9's Song Ha-young, Park Hyo-joo, Yoon Nam-no, Kim Yu-mi, THE BOYZ's YOUNGHOON, Yoon Sung-bin, Kim Jin-soo, Kim Kwang-hyun, Pyo Chang-won, Lee Sang-min, Solbi, Jang Do-yeon, Jang Hyun-sung, and Jang Sung-kyu―have contributed their voices to help find long-term missing children. The produced videos will be aired on 'Tails of Tales' and broadcast through SBS channels until May 25. The first part of the 'Tails of Tales' special, Finding Long-Term Missing Children, will air on Thursday, the 30th, at 10:20 PM. (SBS Entertainment News | Kang Sun-ae)

등록일2026.04.29
Comedian Lee Su-ji has released a second installment of her Kindergarten Teacher content, delivering even sharper satire after her initial parody video sparked a social conversation regarding the hardships faced by educators. In the episode titled The Spring of Kindergarten Teacher Lee Min-ji, released on her YouTube channel on the 28th, Lee Su-ji transformed into the character 'Lee Min-ji' to portray even more intense situations. Through a day that spans outdoor activities, interactions with parents, classroom lessons, and unexpected incidents, she depicted the emotional labor and reality of teachers in a way that is both comedic and bittersweet. In the video, teacher Lee Min-ji faces a complaint from a parent who claims she gave the child a sense of defeat by playing rock-paper-scissors with them. She is also placed in a situation where she must follow detailed medication instructions for a sick child who was sent to school anyway. Her inability to lose her smile in front of these entitled parents resonated deeply with viewers. Additionally, scenes such as making every child finish in first place at a sports day for the sake of emotional protection, and conducting outdoor activities quietly to avoid noise complaints, are highlighted as scenes that satirize the actual atmosphere in the field. Many who watched the video reacted with comments such as, This isn't a comedy, it's an investigative documentary, I'm a teacher, and the reality is even worse, and I truly relate to this, along with messages saying, I support teachers across the country. The video recorded approximately 1.2 million views within one day of its release and is spreading rapidly. Following the first part, which recorded approximately 5.8 million views and sparked a Mom Cafe debate, the second part is also continuing to receive a heated response.

CRAVITY Gets Real About Their 7th Year: We Feel the Pressure, but There's Something More Important
등록일2026.04.29
The nine-member group CRAVITY has returned with their 8th mini-album, 'ReDeFINE.' Now in their 7th year since debut, the group has placed the keyword fear at the forefront, creating an album that captures their current selves with the utmost honesty. Ahead of the album's release, CRAVITY greeted reporters at the Starship Entertainment headquarters with their signature brightness. Member SEONGMIN, known for his exceptional handiwork, showed his thoughtfulness by gifting everyone homemade strawberry cream croffles. Having released their music video in advance, CRAVITY expressed their excitement, noting that it is especially meaningful to meet their fans in the same month they celebrate their 6th anniversary. SERIM shared his thoughts on the comeback, saying, As each year passes, our albums seem to become even more precious. We prepared for this one with that much dedication. The new album, 'ReDeFINE,' is a compilation of the fear, longing, and growth that CRAVITY has experienced along their journey. Including the title track AWAKE, the six tracks carry the message that the moment you think is the end can be a new beginning. It is a process of redefining themselves amidst a non-stop sprint and an album that most clearly showcases who CRAVITY is today. The music video further amplifies this message. Through the contrasting settings of a priest and a seminarian, the video distinguishes between a complete being and an incomplete being. SEONGMIN explained, We wanted to convey the message that even if you are incomplete and shaken, you don't collapse and can rise again to move forward. We are still incomplete and prone to shaking, but we wanted to include the meaning that we can stand up again. This narrative also connects to the symbol of the Ouroboros. HYEONGJUN revealed, In the music video, the structure repeats with the same beginning and end. It carries the message that the end is also a beginning. We each thought about our own fears and tried to express those emotions through our bodies. What are the fears that the members think about? WOOBIN, who recently thought deeply about fear while appearing in the musical 'Romeo and Juliet,' answered earnestly, I thought about how to express what I feel as fear in my own way, and the conclusion was, 'I am afraid of feeling fear.' I think I have been avoiding those emotions a lot. I only recently realized that this has been the way I've lived my life. ALLEN said, When I felt fear, I prayed. I have been overcoming it that way while experiencing various trials throughout our activities. Because of my job as an idol, I haven't been able to talk openly about religion, but now that 7 years have passed, I want to have the courage to speak about it. While the members confessed their individual fears, the way they overcome them remains the stage. HYEONGJUN emphasized, I felt that when we all go up on stage together, when the nine of us are gathered, the fear disappears. At an awards ceremony last year, even among other prominent artists, I thought, 'Let's just think about what the nine of us prepared,' and the fear vanished. I trust the members, our fans, and the time we have spent practicing. The members' participation in this album is also notable. WONJIN and ALLEN participated in the production of the track Our Spring Day to include a message for their fans. TAEYOUNG, who participated in composing Love Me Like You Do, said, It was meaningful that it was reborn through the members' voices. It is a song I wrote while thinking of our fans. SERIM participated in writing the lyrics for the title track, stating, Reflecting the 'Ouroboros' concept, it contains the meaning that I have never planned or thought about an end. CRAVITY's present is closer to the process than the result. HYEONGJUN explained, If it used to be a story of youth and challenges, now it seems to be about that process. We collapsed while going through things like COVID-19 and survival shows, but thanks to the members and our fans, we are moving forward again. It is an album that contains our 6-year narrative. Entering their 7th year, they cannot avoid realistic concerns like contract renewals and the military hiatus. WONJIN said, Focusing on the present rather than the future is the team's strength, adding, We are focusing on the comeback rather than contract renewals or the military. Nevertheless, the team's direction is clear. TAEYOUNG said, My dream is for all members to be active together for a long time. WONJIN added, I hope you will also look at the keyword 'eternity' contained within the Ouroboros. They also honestly revealed the pressure regarding growth. Along with the confession that it is true that there was impatience as the years piled up, they added, I realized that just because you worked hard, the results don't always follow. So now, I value the process and the memories more. In particular, TAEYOUNG expressed his determination by saying, Since junior groups like KiiiKiii are doing well these days, there is pressure. I want to make Starship shine just as much. Lastly, they shared their resolutions: I want to become a hot topic through the point choreography for each member during this promotion (ALLEN), I want to be recognized on stage, which is our main job (WONJIN), and We will show you more desperately as a team that knows the value of the stage (TAEYOUNG). WONJIN added, Because I know that the existence of our fans is not something to be taken for granted, I will put that heart into our performances. CRAVITY intends to move forward again while facing their fears. Their 'ReDeFINE' is heading toward another beginning, not an end. CRAVITY's 8th mini-album 'ReDeFINE' will be released on various music sites on the 29th at 6 PM. Photo = Starship Entertainment (SBS Entertainment News | Kang Kyung-youn)

Who Will Claim the Final Spot in the Semifinals? 'Kick a Goal's Fate-Deciding Match: FC Wonder Woman vs. FC Actionista
등록일2026.04.29
On SBS's Kick a Goal, the final match to determine who will secure the last ticket to the semifinals of the 2nd G-League Interleague will unfold. In the episode airing on the 29th, FC Wonder Woman 2026 and FC Actionista will engage in a fierce battle for a spot in the semifinals. Standing on the edge of a cliff, FC Wonder Woman 2026 is in a desperate situation where they must win by a margin of at least 4 goals to advance to the semifinals. On the other hand, the original powerhouse FC Actionista, which holds a record of 7 semifinal appearances, will secure their spot in the semifinals if they win this match. FC Actionista coach Park Joo-ho anticipated an aggressive playing style from their opponent, who needs a high goal count, and prepared a thorough, customized defensive strategy. In particular, to neutralize the Demon King Mashima, he deployed the iron-wall defender Joo Myung, and attention is focused on her performance against her former team. On the day of the match, coach Park Joo-ho's prediction proved correct. As FC Wonder Woman 2026 made a bold move by placing Mashima as a forward, FC Actionista, having seen through this, took control of the game's flow with strong pressure and sharp passing. Eventually, the opening goal was scored by captain Jung Hye-in, allowing them to dominate the early atmosphere of the match. All eyes are on whether they can maintain this momentum to secure the victory. The final match of the Interleague, which will decide the fate of the 8 teams in the 2nd G-League, will be revealed on Kick a Goal, airing on Wednesday, the 29th, at 10:20 PM.

Wanna One Returns with Full-Group Reality Show After 7 Years: From Emotional Tears to a Surprise Cameo by Director Jang Hang-jun
등록일2026.04.28
The group Wanna One is returning with a full-group reality show for the first time in 7 years. The Mnet Plus original reality show 'WANNA ONE GO : Back to Base' premieres on the evening of the 28th. The first episode will feature the behind-the-scenes story of the 'Opening Ceremony' that heated up Sangam-dong on the 6th, along with the members' journey into their upgraded hideout, the 'Wanna Base.' From the laughter-filled scenes in the waiting room as the members reunite after a long time, to the moments of excitement and nervousness as they face Wannable (Wanna One's fandom name) again after 7 years, the members' emotional shifts will be captured in their entirety. This season's 'Wanna Base' catches the eye with its flashy concept, including individual rooms reflecting each member's taste and personality, and a giant capsule machine called 'Euratcha.' In particular, the 'Euratcha,' which can be used 11 times a day, is expected to add a unique twist by leading the members into unpredictable situations through random capsules. Above all, the members' unchanging chemistry, which makes the 7-year gap feel non-existent, is a key point to watch. Park Woo-jin, who said, We are past the age of playing with toys, ends up having the most fun with the toys, creating a scene of actions not matching words that leaves the set in stitches. Their still-playful and chaotic energy is enough to evoke nostalgia for the 'Wanna One Go' of 9 years ago. In the teaser video released ahead of the broadcast, scenes ranging from the members shedding tears together to them instantly becoming polite upon the surprise appearance of director Jang Hang-jun―who formed a connection with Park Ji-hoon through 'The King's Warden'―have been captured, heightening curiosity. With comments like The members have all become abnormal, expectations for the broadcast are soaring as viewers wonder what kind of unpredictable events will unfold.

등록일2026.04.28
Actor Jung Ho-yeon has revealed her personal eye and taste for selecting films. Jung Ho-yeon, who selected The Florida Project as the screening piece for the Actor Special Exhibition section at the 13th Marie Claire Film Festival, shared a cinematic connection with the audience during a GV (Guest Visit/Talk) held after the screening. I wanted to watch the film in the same space as the audience and share the lingering emotions that remain in the theater even after the movie ends, Jung said, explaining why she decided to hold a GV after watching the film with the audience. She expressed her deep affection for the work, saying, No matter how many times I watch it, it remains shocking and deeply resonant. Regarding her reason for selecting The Florida Project for the Actor Special Exhibition, she said, Works that deliver grand social messages are good, but what ultimately holds my heart for a long time are the comfort and emotions that come from small, personal stories. She added, Sometimes, those small and delicate layers of life approach me with an even greater resonance. She also shared her experience of working on a pictorial project with director Sean Baker last year. I was a fan, so I was so excited that I wanted to run to the U.S. the moment I heard the news that we would be working together, Jung recalled. After meeting him and working with him, I felt that he is someone who provides a sense of stability to actors and draws out their emotions in a very delicate way. It was only a few hours, but I hope this time today has been a small comfort to you all, Jung said, conveying her gratitude to the audience who joined her that day. I hope you return to your respective places and have a day that is a little more exciting and a little more energizing. Jung Ho-yeon is scheduled to meet audiences through director Na Hong-jin's new film, Hope. (SBS Entertainment News | Kim Ji-hye)
Gang Dong-won·Um Tae-goo·Park Ji-hyeon Shatter Their Images in 'Wild Sing': A Look at the Characters
등록일2026.04.28
Actors Gang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo, and Park Ji-hyeon have raised expectations by teasing their transformation into a three-member co-ed group for the movie 'Wild Sing,' which has now released an introductory video showcasing its characters. 'Wild Sing' is a comedy film about 'Triangle,' a three-member co-ed dance group that once swept the music scene but disbanded overnight due to an unexpected incident. The story follows their reckless challenge to seize a chance at a comeback 20 years later. 'Wild Sing,' which has garnered attention for the idol-concept visuals of Gang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo, and Park Ji-hyeon that break their previous images, perfectly recreated the magazine cover style that dominated the music scene back in the day. The presence of 'Triangle' gracing the cover, accompanied by the tagline The co-ed group that will strike South Korea is returning! , immediately grabs attention. In particular, the visuals and styling of the 'Triangle' members, who boldly wore full outfits in the team's signature 'red, green, and blue' primary colors, are instantly overwhelming. The simultaneously released member introduction video draws laughter by sharply contrasting their past glory with their current reality. 'Triangle' leader 'Hyun-woo' (Gang Dong-won) was once a 'dance machine' who took over the stage with flashy moves, but he has now devolved into a 'livelihood machine' struggling to make ends meet. 'Triangle' youngest member 'Sang-goo' (Um Tae-goo), who used to roam the stage as a 'storm rapper,' appears as a 'total flop rapper' living a difficult reality. While barely getting by as an insurance planner, he still induces pathetic laughter with his undying passion, such as explaining policy terms to clients through rap. Adding to the film's vitality is the twist in the charm of 'Triangle' center 'Domi' (Park Ji-hyeon). Contrary to her fresh and lively 'absolute charm' in front of the camera, she blurts out rough language like I'll slap you behind the scenes. Even after becoming a daughter-in-law of a conglomerate family with 'absolute wealth,' her irrepressible, fiery instincts pop out, delivering refreshing thrills in every scene. Finally, the appearance of ballad prince 'Sung-gon' (Oh Jung-se), who introduces himself by saying, I'm your pretty Sung-gon, who has been in 2nd place for 38 weeks, captures attention at once. Once an icon of 'capturing women's hearts,' his unpredictable behavior―leading one to wonder how he ended up engaging in 'actual hunting'―sparks curiosity. 'Wild Sing' will be released on June 3.
