It is a work that depicts the love between a high-spec cool boy and a naive heroine who are childhood friends, and Jun plays the role of Lin Chao, a cool and arrogant high school student. The highlight is Lin Chao's fierce attack on the heroine. Especially in the latter half of the work, there are continuous romantic scenes, and there is no doubt that there will be a lot of excitement in the numerous kissing scenes that unfold in various situations!◆Chang Geun-suk's appearance in "SNL KOREA" Japan's first broadcast (C) COUPANG PLAYThe long-awaited final episode of "SNL KOREA Season 3" will be aired on December 1st. #10 (final episode) will be hosted by Gun-chan, aka Chang Geun-suk!

In the skit "MZ Office," which satirizes the gap between the Z generation and the "M generation" above it, he humorously plays an M-generation employee who can't read the air. In a parody of his representative work, the movie "You're My Pet," he goes wild as a dog. His exaggerated acting is sure to make you laugh.◆Broadcast of ASTRO Cha Eun-woo's variety show (C)SBSThis December, "The Genius of Faces," Cha Eun-woo's variety show appearances are packed! In "New!

From the 22nd, "Weak Hero Class1," starring Park Ji-hoon from Wanna One and Che Hyon-uk, will be broadcast for the first time in Japan. Based on a popular web manga, it is a school action drama in which Park Ji-hoon plays a bullied honor student who stands up to the hierarchy and violence rampant in the school with two friends. It was selected as one of Forbes' "Top 20 Korean Dramas of 2022" and officially screened at the 27th Busan International Film Festival, attracting attention. Che Hyon-uk, who won the Best New Actor award at the 2021 Korean SBS Acting Awards for "25, 21," and Hong Gyeong, who won the Best New Actor award in the film category at the 2021 Baeksang Arts Awards, play his friends. The highlight is the action unique to a school drama, using everyday items such as reference books as weapons. The sight of the protagonist Si-un, who is timid and bullied, standing up to the strong bullies with his intellect and psychological warfare is inspiring. For those who want to take one more step towards the end of the year, we recommend "Accident Family," starring PENTAGON's Yeo One and CROSS GENE's Shin Won-ho, which depicts various human relationships in a boarding house. For those who are a little tired, there is "I Don't Want to Do Anything ~Stop and Fall in Love~" by Im Si-wan. It is a healing story that depicts the growth and love of a shy young man who is bad at socializing and a heroine with burnout syndrome. In addition, this month, there are many new dramas starting one after another! Now that winter has come in earnest, let's watch Korean dramas and warm our hearts and bodies.■Broadcast Information[Chinese Drama] "Exclusive Fairy Tale (original title)" Starts on December 18th (Mon) Japan's first broadcast!
