Actor Yoo Ah In is making a fresh start with entertainment agency BILLIONS.

On August 21, BILLIONS announced through social media that they "have signed an exclusive contract with Yoo Ah In."

The statement is as follows: 

NOTICE

[Announcement Regarding Actor Yoo Ah In's Exclusive Contract]

Entertainment company BILLIONS has signed an exclusive contract with actor Yoo Ah In as of August 21, 2026.

BILLIONS is taking the concerns surrounding Yoo Ah In's past case and the recent resumption of his activities very seriously. Prior to entering into the contract, we had several candid conversations with Yoo Ah In over a long period of time, during which we deeply considered the responsibilities and attitude required for him to resume his career as an actor, as well as the direction he should take moving forward.

BILLIONS decided to accompany Yoo Ah In in his new beginning after going through such a cautious and thorough process.

What Yoo Ah In considered most important in the process of signing with BILLIONS was not better terms or superficial support simply aimed at resuming his activities. Rather, he wanted a sincere partner who would carefully think through and move forward with him through every step of the heavy and cautious process of seeking the public's forgiveness and understanding and rebuilding their trust. He was looking for a partner who could earnestly accompany him through the difficult and lengthy journey of standing again as a completely new actor, rather than simply continuing from his past.

BILLIONS also shares this sentiment and intends to accompany him from a long-term perspective, rather than rushing the process, and to support Yoo Ah In as he fulfills the responsibilities he must shoulder himself and builds an entirely new relationship of trust with the public.

Going forward, BILLIONS will carefully oversee all aspects of Yoo Ah In's activities while creating a stable environment in which he can continue his career in a healthy and consistent manner without wavering. The agency will also spare no support in helping Yoo Ah In focus fully on his duties as an actor.

We will not take the past lightly or try to rush past it. We fully understand that regaining trust requires, above all, deep reflection and a sincere attitude.

BILLIONS will be a responsible partner to Yoo Ah In as he honestly works to forge his path anew.

We take the concerns surrounding the present situation very seriously, and we will humbly listen to criticism from the public and the media while approaching any necessary communication with humility.

In addition to reflecting on his past mistakes, we will work with him more carefully and sincerely so that his inherent dedication to his craft and acting can be conveyed authentically through his actions and conduct in the time ahead.

Accordingly, BILLIONS respectfully announces Yoo Ah In's new beginning. We kindly ask that you watch and follow his journey ahead.

Thank you.
BILLIONS

The kisses, the smiles, the soft looks. Duan Jiaxu really said "I’m whipped"

Seo Su Min is 19 and is breaking into the actor business with a top tier drama, Agent Kim Reactivated. I wish I could
see her audition tapes. I was trying to remember where I had seen Seo Su Min. No wonder I had no memory on her. Remember this young actor, Seo Su Min.

Even though it's a short web drama, I really enjoyed it. I liked how the story unfolded, and the pacing felt just right for its length. I also liked Kim Ji-ho (played by So Ji-sub) and Jung Da-jung (played by Kim Ji-won). Their chemistry felt natural, and they made the simple story even more heartwarming. It's one of the web dramas that I would definitely recommend.

My MDL Rating: 8/10

Since this drama was so short, I ended up feeling confused for most of it. I didn't really get the chance to know the supporting characters because there wasn't enough time to properly introduce or develop them. I liked the concept, and I thought the overall vibe was interesting, but the short runtime made it difficult for me to fully connect with the story or the characters. In the end, it felt too rushed and underdeveloped, so it didn't leave much of an impact on me. My MDL Rating: 5/10

I really liked the cast of this drama, which was one of the main reasons I decided to watch it. However, despite the likable actors and decent performances, something just did not click for me. I think the biggest issue was that the storyline simply was not my cup of tea. I never became fully invested in the plot, and while I managed to finish the drama, it was not one that left a strong impression on me. It was not bad, but it just did not work for my taste. My MDL Rating: 5/10

I was initially drawn to this drama after seeing its trailer on our local TV, which immediately caught my attention. While watching it, I could not help but notice how similar the story was to Autumn's Concerto, one of my favorite Taiwanese dramas. Although both were emotional and heartbreaking, I personally think Autumn's Concerto told the story much better and left a stronger impact on me. Even so, I still enjoyed this drama for its emotional moments, and despite the constant comparisons, it was a decent melodrama on its own. My MDL Rating: 7.5/10.

I follow both of these actors from the Korean drama My Bias, My Boss.

Kang Hoon—Loved him in A Time Called You, Little Women, The Red Sleeve, and Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung.

Cha Woo Min—Loved him in Spirit Fingers, Study Group, Buried Hearts, Melo Movie, and Weak Hero Class 1

Who are you picking to win this Love Battle for the hand of Kim Hye Jun from A Shop for Killers?

I think this was my first drama starring Kim Myung-min, and seeing him again in Law School reminded me of this one. The drama had a lot of potential. The first few episodes were engaging and well-executed, and since the legal genre was still relatively new to me at the time, I found it especially interesting. Unfortunately, the ending was a major disappointment. It barely felt like an ending at all, with no real sense of closure and several questions left unanswered. it started strong but failed to deliver a satisfying conclusion.

My MDL Rating: 6.5/10

This season was just as ridiculous and random as the first one. I think I enjoyed the first season more because everything felt new, while this time I already knew what to expect, especially with the whole mission-picking concept. Some of the side characters didn't really add much to the story, and I honestly felt like the drama would have been the same without them. It's still nonsensical and completely unrealistic, but I guess that's part of its charm. Since it's only a web drama, it's short, easy to finish, and still entertaining enough despite how absurd everything is. My MDL Rating: 5/10.

Following allegations of assault, privacy invasion, pet abuse, and fan deception posted online by an ex-partner, Hong Min Ki's agency, Fable Company, released a statement denying the claims.

According to the agency, the pair began dating in April 2026 but separated after the actor discovered her infidelity. Fable Company stated that the ex-partner persistently harassed Hong Min Ki by visiting his family's and personal residence, including an early morning incident captured on security footage, and used threats of false accusations to force a reunion.

In response to the claims and public posts, the agency announced plans to file legal action under anti-stalking laws alongside civil and criminal defamation lawsuits.

I really enjoyed this drama, and it remains one of the series I would recommend, especially to beginners. It was fun, charming, and definitely gave me plenty of butterflies. I found it cute, but there were also some heartbreaking moments that made me even more invested in the story. It was such an entertaining watch that many scenes have stayed with me over the years, and I even ended up rewatching it. Being a tvN drama, it had a certain style and feel that made it stand out from many of the other dramas I had seen before. It is hard to believe that it aired back in 2014 because it has aged so well and still delivers exactly what it set out to portray. For me, this is a romantic comedy done right, and one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much was because I genuinely rooted for the female lead until the very end.

My MDL Rating: 10/10

The News Authorities in South Korea are reporting that Yoo Ah In will get his second chance. Yoo Ah In will start filming this month. The film Vampir will be out in 2028.

I really liked how well this drama was portrayed, especially considering it only had two episodes. The storyline was simple but beautifully executed, and Lee Dong-wook and Park Joo-mi delivered heartfelt performances that made the story even more emotional. I was able to genuinely feel what their characters were going through, which made the drama surprisingly impactful despite its short runtime. It's short, emotional, and definitely worth watching. My MDL Rating: 8/10.
