In September, the Satellite Theater will broadcast two dramas for the first time in Japan: 'Ho Shokudo - The Chef of Love Across Time' starring EXO's Xiumin and 'Suspicious Girlfriend' featuring Jinyoung. Also, look out for SUPER JUNIOR's stage and SEVENTEEN's documentary! ◆ Xiumin's starring drama 'Ho Shokudo' will premiere in Japan on the 22nd! 'Ho Shokudo - The Chef of Love Across Time' is a slapstick fantasy romantic comedy depicting the love story between a peculiar figure from the Joseon era who time-travels to the present and a modern-day heroine. Xiumin plays the warm-hearted and slightly naive genius scholar Ho Gyun, who becomes a chef after moving to the present. He reportedly practiced knife skills intensively for his role, despite only cooking ramen in his private life. His impressive knife skills and cooking charm will surely captivate viewers! The drama also features various elements, including his romance with the heroine and a time-crossing rivalry with his nemesis Lee Ichom, ensuring an enjoyable watch. Additionally, don't miss Xiumin in 'EXO's Relay Video Record - Heart for U - Xiumin,' 'EXO's Amida World Travel - Geoje & Tongyeong Edition,' and '2024 EXO FAN MEETING: ONE.' ◆ The hit movie is adapted into a drama! 'Suspicious Girlfriend' starts on the 11th with its first broadcast in Japan, starring Kim Hae-sook, Jeong Ji-so, and Jinyoung. The story follows a woman in her 70s who rejuvenates to her 20s to pursue her dream of becoming a singer, based on the hit 2014 film 'Suspicious Girlfriend.' This adaptation features different stories and characters from the movie, providing a fresh narrative. Jinyoung, who played the heroine's grandson in the film, now portrays Daniel, a music producer who develops a romance with the heroine. Jeong Ji-so's comedic performance as the 20-something heroine is also adorable! ◆ Don't miss SUPER JUNIOR's stage and drama! Celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, the Korean supergroup SUPER JUNIOR will broadcast their '2024 SUPER JUNIOR <SUPER SHOW SPIN-OFF: Halftime> in SEOUL,' featuring fun projects created by the members, unlike the usual 'SUPER SHOW.' Expect exciting musical performances, spy-themed acts, rock arrangements, and unique unit shuffle stages. Additionally, there will be an encore broadcast of Donghae's drama 'Man and Woman - The 7-Year Dilemma,' allowing viewers to catch up in one month. ◆ SEVENTEEN's documentary also delves into their true selves.
