Actress Park Min-young is currently employed as an internal director at a small construction company.

 

It has been recently confirmed by a Biz Korea investigation that actress Park Min-young is currently serving as an internal director at a small construction company operated by her family. Last year, she was embroiled in controversy due to rumors of a romantic relationship with Kang Jong-hyun, the alleged real owner of Bithumb, but recently made a successful comeback by starring as the lead in the tvN drama "Marry My Husband."

Park Min-young's involvement as an internal director at the small construction company "One Stone," established in February 2013, has come to light. One Stone' headquarters is located in a corporate-owned building in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, where a branch of Bithumb affiliate 'IT' operated a direct mobile phone store on the first floor.

According to corporate registration records, One Stone changed its name four times from Mediterranean Travel to Bizmall Tour, Haosoftware, and finally One Stone. During this process, the primary business purpose also shifted from travel to real estate leasing.

Park Min-young was first listed as an internal director of One Stone on June 5, 2018, coinciding with One Stone's transformation from a travel business to real estate leasing. At the time of her appointment in June 2018, Park provided her Cheongdam-dong residence, where she lived with her family, as collateral to secure a real estate loan of KRW 2.16 billion for One Stone. The real estate collateral loan registration set on her residence, which had a term of three years as an internal director, was released in June 2021. Park was reinstated as an internal director in April 2023.

Park Min-young's agency, Hook Entertainment, stated that the direct mobile phone store operated by IT expired in January, and One Stone is unrelated to Kang Jong-hyun. A Hook Entertainment official stated, "We cannot provide any official statement regarding this matter."

-Is this getting revealed now that the drama's ended or something? There were a lot of articles in the morning.

-Wow~~~~ Impressive~~~~~~ Even branching out into construction, beyond just acting~~~

-Money, money, moneyㅋㅋㅋ

-Why is an actress becoming an internal director at a construction company? By the way, can Biz Korea be trusted here? She just mentioned fake news or something earlierㅋㅋㅋ Let's wait and see for now.

-Wow, incredible really. Now, it's time to stop acting.

-So, in reality, was it a lie that she broke up with Kang Jong-hyun?

-Construction company in the Bitthumb office building...

-If this is true, then eventually even the breakup was fake. These two scammers must be soulmatesㅋㅋㅋ

-People are really disgusting...

-Usually, with these kinds of articles, if the facts are certain, the broadcasting station or the agency would negotiate to delay the revelation until the current project is finished, then immediately expose it. The timing seems too plausible for that...

-She seems to really like money.

-Wow, it feels like watching a movie; what's going on?

-Does that make a lot of money? Even just acting and doing advertisements, she could live comfortably until their grandson's generation.

-She's a great actress but... Sigh...

-She's so pretty and successful, I don't know what she's missing that she has to dip their feet in murky waters.

-At least they revealed it after the drama endedㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She's already making a lot of money, why does she do this?

Jung Yumi to Co-Star with Ju Jihoon in New Romance Drama Directed by Park Jun-hwa

 

Actress Jung Yumi returns to the small screen with a romance drama after four years.

According to broadcasting officials on the 21st, Jung Yumi and Ju Jihoon are set to collaborate as lead actors in a romance drama.

While the drama was initially known by the title "Love on a Single Log Bridge," there are internal discussions about a new title.

The drama depicts the story of a man and a woman who passionately loved each other in their late teens but separated due to opposition from their families. They reunite after 15 years and navigate through twists and turns to rebuild their love. It is a romance that portrays the characters overcoming destiny and various obstacles.

Jung Yumi takes on the role of Yoon Jiwon, who was in a relationship with Ju Ji-hoon during high school and reunites with him as adults. This marks her return to a lead role in a drama after four years since the 2020 Netflix series "The School Nurse Files." Particularly, fans are eager to see if Jeong Yoo-mi's charming "Yumvely" character, which she showcased in romantic dramas, will be revealed.

Ju Jihoon, who last appeared in a romance drama 18 years ago with MBC's "Princess Hours" in 2006, has already garnered attention both in and outside the broadcasting industry for his return to the romance genre.

The director for the drama is Park Jun-hwa, known for his work on romance dramas like tvN's "Because This Is My First Life," "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," "Alchemy of Souls", and more. The script is written by Im Ye-jin, the author behind KBS 2TV's "Love in The Moonlight" and "The Tale of Nokdu."

The production team is currently refining some settings and details of the drama, with plans to soon begin the official casting for main and supporting roles.

theqoo

-It's been a while since we've seen Jung Yumi in a romantic comedy.

-Why do they keep using Ju Jihoon in the industry? He has no acting skills, no ticket power, and a criminal record, I don't understand.

-Every time Ju Jihoon comes out, the reaction is terrible, so why do they keep casting him?

-Ju Jihoon isn't even that great at acting, and he's not super handsome, so why does he get cast a lot? Does he have a lot of fans in the industry?

-Isn't Ju Jihoon just cast a lot because he's a top star? His filmography is quite impressive.

-I was only waiting for Yumi's next drama, and now this crap... Damn it.

-Ju Jihoon's drug case happened over 10 years ago, and he's overcome it and is living well, so should people like him not get a second chance?

-No, I'm a fan of Jung Yumi and rom-coms, but I don't want to watch because of the co-star.....ㅠ

-Are there really no other options?

-Ju Jihoon was doing well for a while, but suddenly he seems to be getting criticism again??? What happened?

-Ah, I really hate it... (Not Yumi...ㅠㅠ)

-I feel sorry for Jung Yumi

-I think Ju Jihoon and Jung Yumiwill match well, I'm looking forward to it.

-Why are they casting him? I'm just genuinely curious.

-I'm looking forward to it.

The director of 'Marry My Husband' was asked about the reason for casting BoA

 

"In the first half, Lee Yi-kyung and Song Ha-yoon played villains, while in the second half, BoA was newly introduced and changed the atmosphere. What was the reason for casting BoA?

▶(Park Won-guk) We were looking for an actor with such a strong presence and charm that viewers could react with 'Why is that actor appearing there?' when Oh Yoo-ra first appeared on screen. We believed that BoA, who radiates infinite charm while possessing enough charisma to dominate everyone around her, was suitable for the role of Oh Yoo-ra."

theqoo

-...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh, the director of this drama was Park Won-guk?

-But that was totally unnecessary...

-I understand the intention behind it.

-They just wanted to use a well-known actor for a supporting antagonist role, but it's difficult to cast such a professional actor for a mid-story supporting role, so they used BoA for her name value. 

-Ironically, it felt like the drama lost its momentum after Oh Yoo-ra appeared.

-I understand the intention, but it seems like BoA couldn't pull it off.

-BoA is more of a top figure in the music industry; she doesn't have much of a career as an actress. Viewers question 'Why her?'... and she couldn't even act properly.

-They should have prioritized acting skills in the first place before anything else.

-I understand the intention, but Oh Yoo-ra's character itself wasn't that great.

-I really like BoA as a singer, but I don't think she has that level of presence as an actress...

-But I think anyone would struggle to pull off that role.

-They wanted a famous celebrity, but also wanted it to be surprising and generate buzz. But it would have been difficult to cast a top actor (considering BoA's status and name value in the music industry, it's hard to imagine a top actor with such a career appearing in the latter part of the drama and playing the role of a mistress) So it seems like they wanted to use a well-known actor from the music industry.

-Apart from the acting, the character itself was strange, and it feels like BoA got all the criticism for it, which is unfortunate

-Wouldn't it have been better if they brought in actors like Yeon Min-jeong or Chun Seo-jin?

-It's sad that BoA received criticism, but many people, including me, stopped watching after Oh Yoo-ra appeared.

I'm glad to come to a project that everyone is proud of. Many people sent beautiful letters. I've never seen fans like this before, so I'm really happy to finally meet them. I felt a special bond with the fans, and they gave me many delicious snacks. I've never seen anything like it. Even my mom doesn't welcome me like this. I want to stay in Korea longer and enjoy as much as possible while I'm here."

"Dune: Part 2" is a story that follows Paul (Timothée Chalamet), who realizes his abilities and embarks on a journey of revenge to find the fate of a warrior. Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, Stephen Henderson, Lea Seydoux, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem appeared in the film, and director Denis Villeneuve took the megaphone again following the previous installment.
