According to the broadcasting industry on the 10th, Seo Inguk has been cast as the male lead in drama 'Monthly Boyfriend.'

The drama is directed by Kim Jungsik, who is known for his previous works, 'Work Later, Drink Now,' 'Strong Woman Kang Namsoon', and 'No Gain No Love' that is currently airing.
Previously, 'Monthly Boyfriend' had already attracted attention when it was announced that Jisoo would be playing the female lead.
-I've always wanted to see Seo Inguk starring in a rom-com. The visual of this drama would be amazing if he's paired with Jisoo.
-It somehow feels new and I like it.
-Jisoo is taking on more and more projects.
-Looks like Jisoo is planning to focus more on acting now.
-Jisoo has so many upcoming projects. However, I think the two of them somehow don't suit each other.
-Wow, they don't match, but I think we'll have to see how they look together on screen before judging. You never know about chemistry until they start acting togetherㅋㅋ
-The visuals are great.
-I can't quite picture them together.
-Seo Inguk's dramas are always fun.
-Since Seo Inguk is starring in this drama, I'll at least give. ita tryㅋㅋ

The story of heroes representing the 12 Chinese zodiac signs struggling to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits is being prepared with a target release next year, but the release platform is undecided.
Actors currently in discussions to join:
Ma Dongseok: Leader Taesan, leads the heroes.
Ji Changwook: No information yet
Seo Inguk: Monkey
9 casting spots remain open
+Articles about this drama series have been released
+Ma Dongseok will also be involved in the production
‘Twelve’ features heroes representing the 12 Chinese zodiac signs struggling to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits. Seo Inguk is reportedly in discussions to play a hero depicted as a monkey in the drama.
Actors Ma Dongseok and Ji Changwook are also positively considering their roles in ‘Twelve,’ Seo Inguk is expected to work alongside them and lead the drama.
The anticipation for this project is very high, especially since ‘Twelve’ involves Ma Dongseok, who successfully brought 'The Roundup' to success and became Marvel Studios' first Korean superhero.
-Oh, it sounds fun. Characters like Rabbit and Sheep are likely to be female roles, but it would be interesting if they break expectations and let an actress play as the Tiger.
-‘Twelve’ must be a working title, right? Since it's a Korean hero drama, it’s strange that the title is in English. I hope they balance the hero gender ratio as well.
-I hope they cast a female actress for the Horse sign.
-The world setting sounds fun from the start.
-It would be interesting if Ma Dongseok is not Tiger, but instead Rabbit or Sheep…??
-If there are many female actresses, I’ll watch it.
-I like these kinds of thingsㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope it turns out well.
-I guess I like this kind of thing… I didn’t realize. I’m excited for this.
-Was this real? I thought it was a joke, but I’m excited for itㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It’s a shame the title is in English. Korean would be better.
-It would be funny if Ma Dongseok is the Rabbit.
-I hope they make the Dragon sign a strong female character.
On this day, K.Will spoke about the music video for his new song "No Songs Can Express Me," which has gained significant attention due to the appearance of Seo Inguk and Ahn Jaehyun. He shared, "Previously, the two were featured in the music video for 'Please Don't,' which became quite a hot topic. Coincidentally, Ahn Jae-hyun contacted me and suggested we appear together on Seo Inguk's YouTube channel."
K.Will continued, "I don't usually have songs with these vibes, but 'Please Don't' is a representative one. Since I was preparing the song this time, I thought it would be interesting to connect it with the music video. Jaehyun loved the idea, so we decided to persuade Inguk. Eventually, we managed to convince Seo In-guk, and here we are."
Did he anticipate the heated response? K.Will admitted, "I thought it would be amusing, but I never imagined it would become such a sensation. It's surprising to see the worldwide attention it has received," expressing his astonishment. He added with a laugh, "People are letting their imaginations run wild, and the situation has become uncontrollable, so we're just letting it be."
World Gay wow, look at the clouds being in the exact same position
Is it because it was taken on the same day, or is it CG?
In the top picture, there's Guk, and in the bottom picture, there's no Guk, but the clouds are in the exact same position (Plus, the slight difference in the position of the funeral home text seems to be a mistake)
-Whoa, even the cloud positions. The attention to detail is amazing.
-If they intentionally used CGI to keep the sky the same, then it's definitely about time travel.
-I mean, this is incredibleㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, they paid attention to even this?
-Wow, I’ve never noticed the clouds before... This is amazing.
-Clouds move really fast, so even the second scene was filmed right away, the cloud shapes wouldn't be identical. It's definitely CGI to make the clouds the same.
-They’re going to publish a paper with all this research.
-The director is a genius...
-Wow, I'm genuinely impressed.
-The more I watch, the crazier the detail in the music video seems.
-Wow, so Ahn Jaehyun really did return to save Seo Inguk.
The title track 'No Songs Can Express Me' is about the process of the present fading away. The song was composed by singer and producer Yoonsang and K.Will, and the lyrics were written by Kim Eana.
Following the official concept of "the process of the present fading away," this music video is interpreted on the premise of a "time loop."
For convenience, the character played by Ahn Jaehyun is referred to as "Ahn" and the character played by Seo Inguk is referred to as "Guk."
Note that this interpretation follows the opinion that the events in the video occur in chronological order.
-> Guk smoking a cigarette = the last event in the timeline
1. They reunite at a mutual acquaintance's funeral after 10 years.
They exchange phone numbers at Ahn's suggestion.
2. After reuniting, they often meet and reconnect.
-Guk learns that Ahn is divorced.
-Guk attempts to kiss Ahn while drunk.
3. For some reason, Ahn dies afterward.
*Up to this point is the first timeline = Guk's perspective in the teaser
Guk repeatedly goes back in time to save Ahn but fails.
From here, it's the main part of the music video = Ahn's perspective
*The broken clock
Guk's failed attempts to go back in time
No more options left
+There's a possibility that it was a trace from the accident since it's a keepsake of Ahn, who is deceased now
4. This time, Ahn knows that something has changed (Guk is surprised)
*Ahn (Blackberry) and Guk (iPhone) exchange numbers
From Guk's perspective, Ahn is a "being from the past" and Guk is a "being from the future," intersecting at a point.
5. They start reconnecting, and Guk feels brief happiness.
6. However, to avoid Ahn's death, Guk suppresses his emotions.
He doesn't attempt to kiss the sleeping Ahn.
Instead, he gives Ahn the watch that acts as a time-travel medium.
(Behind-the-scenes not shown in the MV)
7. Guk confesses his feelings in the tunnel.
8. However, as Guk returns upon Ahn's call,
He disappears in front of Ahn's eyes.
-> He vanishes instead of Ahn.
9. When Ahn comes to his senses, he finds himself at Guk's funeral.
The vanished Guk is now dead.
Ahn realizes the truth upon seeing the watch on Guk's wrist.
The intact clock - implies Ahn still has a chance or suggests that Ahn's accident was "undone."
10. This time, Ahn returns to the funeral where they reunited.
It's possible that Ahn also made several attempts to save Guk afterward.
11. Ahn knows everything but only watches Guk leave to save him.
-> The "present" that has vanished
12. Due to Ahn's return, Guk is in a reset state, knowing nothing.
Guk realizes Ahn was also at the funeral and smokes a cigarette, muttering "I missed you" in a low, murmuring voice
"There's no breakup song that suits me"
(NB: Literal translation of the song title)
Their meeting (reunion) itself has "vanished," making any breakup impossible.
The music video stars actors Seo Inguk and Ahn Jaehyun, who were the main characters in K.Will's 2012 music video "Please Don’t." The video gained attention with its bold setup of Seo Inguk's character having an unrequited love for his same-sex friend Ahn Jaehyun. Even 12 years later, the video is still discussed, and the two have earned the nickname "World Gay." This new music video tells the story 10 years after "Please Don’t," with an even more intense atmosphere.
Also, the timeline of this music video is set in 2022, two years prior to the "present."
*I'll add the comment left by Commenter #32:
This seems to be a story from two years ago since BlackBerry's service ended in 2022.
What I mean is the servers were shut down. So even if you have it, it won't work even with a SIM card. I know this because I was thinking of buying one and read an article and user reviews about it yesterdayㅎㅎ
Ahn using a BlackBerry
= The timeline of the main story is at least before 2022.
-This is so much fun. The music video is really well made. We just need the third part now.
-Wow... The interpretation is funㅠㅠ
-Wow, this interpretation is crazy.
-I can only say it’s crazy. I’m so grateful for this.
-This is it!
-This is really amazing. Out of everything so far, this is the most natural interpretation. Now please give us a third part about their happy life in 2024 as soon as possible. I can't wait for the next album, so it'd be great if you include the continuation of this story as a B-side track in this album, Hyungsoo-ssi!
-They made a short film with this music video. It's so fun.
-So all the scenes in the teaser are from 10 years later? Ah, this is great.
-So it's a sequel of 'Please Don't...' MV?
-10 years later??
-Is it a prequel? I thought it was just the same actors with a different story. Crazy. ㄴNo, a prequel is the previous story. This is a sequel.
-It's a sequel??? So exciting.
-First, did he divorce Dasom? ㄴBoth were wearing mourning clothes, maybe Dasom's character was dead ㄴDefinitely, there was no wedding ring.
-If Dasom's character was dead, Ahn Jaehyun wouldn't remove his wedding ring right away. So they probably got a divorce?
-Stop killing Dasom's character, it could be a divorceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-At first, I thought Dasom had died ㅋㅋ But it looks like it's a funeral for a high school teacher. Or maybe a high school classmate died. Seo Inguk changed his number, moved, and disappeared, so they haven't met in 10 years, but coincidentally met at the funeral. And he probably saw that Ahn Jaehyun wasn't wearing a wedding ring.
-Ahn Jaehyun was smiling, so it can't be his wife's funeral.
The 'names' in the text refer to the 'characters' played by the actors in the music video, not the actors themselves.
Did Dasom know?
I was watching 'Please Don't...' MV when I suddenly had this thought... Did Dasom know about Guk's feelings?
Comment #3: It's well-known that Dasom originally liked Guk, but she knew that Guk didn't like her, so she dated someone that Guk likedㅋㅋㅋ
In this peaceful gay MV, a sudden scandal was thrown:
'The one that Dasom originally loved was Seo Inguk'
Dasom looked particularly bright in this car scene with Seo Inguk.
Honestly, I was curious why there was a car scene with Dasom. It gave me chills.
After reading the comments and re-watched the MV, I realized this scene was meant to show the characters' inner feelings from a third-person perspective. I thought this scene was added to confuse the viewers before the final twist, but I guess I was too simple-mindedㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Dasom originally liked Seo Inguk, but after realizing that Seo Inguk liked Ahn Jaehyun, she took revenge by stealing Ahn Jaehyun from him. I think this interpretation was right.
I copied the interpretation and also the scene from the MV.
0:21 Dasom looked particularly bright = Explains that Dasom likes Seo Inguk
1:04 Her expression darkened as she was looking at Seo Inguk = Seo Inguk didn't react to her, despite all of her efforts
1:13 She looked straight ahead with a hardened expression = Realization, she noticed that Seo Inguk had someone else on his mind
In the car scene, Dasom noticed that Seo Inguk, who doesn't even look at her, loves someone else.
Dasom approaches and teases Seo Inguk but only leans on Jaehyun. She smiles while looking at Inguk as she leans on Jaehyun.
With her left arm, she holds Jae-hyun, and with her right arm, she holds In-guk. She forcibly brings Inguk to take a photo and smiles.
In their wedding photo, from Dasom's perspective, she just needs to tear Jaehyun away.
So that Inguk can be on her side.
And another hint found by commenter #82.
Not always, but generally, in wedding photos, the groom stands to the right of the bride. Therefore, the bride’s right arm should be linked with the groom’s left arm.
"I thought I could have you this way."
"Because you will never be able to leave Jaehyun’s side forever."
-Ah, this is fun. I need to watch the MV againㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh, come to think of it, generally the bride stands to the right of the groom... Wow...
-I just found out about this after 12 years... Amazing...
-Wasn't Dasom and Seo Inguk siblings? Why did I think they were siblings?
-Oh, I like this post. I got chills reading the commentsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, this interpretation is interesting
-This is crazy...
-Ah, if you do this, I won't be able to sleep
-Wow, so Dasom thought Seo Inguk wouldn’t leave Ahn Jaehyun’s side, so she married Ahn Jaehyun. But Seo Inguk couldn’t bear to see them married and left. If Dasom left Ahn Jaehyun, who became unnecessary in her point of view, making all three of them unhappy... that would be truly... interesting
-What’s with the "World Gay" tag, thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, this is crazy, let’s turn this into a Netflix drama
-Who is the MV director? Let's have some talkㅋㅋㅋ
-Then why didn't they just live together? Why choose to make everyone unhappy...
