Lee Jong Suk reveals why he chose Law and the City as his comeback drama after 3 years: ‘Wanted to…'
Lee Jong Suk talks about taking on the role of an ace lawyer in K-drama Law and the City
Acting as Ahn Ju Hyeong, Lee Jong Suk is the steady force at his law firm. Having worked for 9 years at the same company, he's capable of running his own, but chooses to stick with this place. Talking to the media on July 1, the actor revealed that after doing multiple genres, he wanted to take on something that was comfortable with an amazing cast.
Comparing other legal dramas that are intense and deal with complex situations, Law and the City offered him a chance to tell unique stories that are tied to living and are more relaxed. "I think we live in a time where people constantly chase dopamine. I wanted to work on something comforting, and this drama offered that opportunity. I wanted to do something warm and grounded with this amazing cast.'
According to Newsis, he added that courtroom dramas usually talk about defeating great evil and implementing justice; however, their latest project focuses on making a living and how people continue their lives in this world. Moon Ga Young affirmed his thoughts, sharing that Law and the City is 'a human story, about how we grow and connect with one another'.
The K-drama follows Ahn Ju Hyeong's peaceful life, which begins to change for the worse one day. Law and the City airs on July 5, streaming on tvN and Disney+ from 21:20 pm KST every Saturday and Sunday.

BTS reunites for first live after discharge: V aka Kim Taehyung reveals he still does military roll call, Jungkook debuts new tattoos
ARMYs finally got the OT7 moment they've been waiting for, and K-pop Twitter is in full meltdown mode. On Tuesday (July 1), BTS reunited for their first proper OT7 appearance in nearly three years with a surprise late-night Weverse live. RM (Kim Namjoon), Jin (Kim Seokjin), Suga (Min Yoongi), J-Hope (Jung Hoseok), Jimin (Park Jimin), V (Kim Taehyung), and Jungkook (Jeon Jungkook) all joined in, catching fans off guard in the best way. The group chatted casually about their current routines, teased future plans, and even dropped hints about upcoming projects. While they didn't go deep into military talk, V did reveal a habit he's held onto from his time in service. Meanwhile, eagle-eyed fans noticed what looks like a new tattoo on Jungkook, and the decoding has already begun. BTS 'surprise fans with first live post-military discharge While BTS did reunite in person for J-Hope's HOPE ON THE STREET encore concert on June 13 to celebrate the group's 12th debut anniversary, this marks the first full-frame OT7 return in one frame we've seen since 2024. It's also the first time all seven members have gone live together on Weverse since June 2024, when Jin was discharged from the military. V reveals he still wakes up for military roll call It seems like V is still adjusting to life post-enlistment, and fans can't help but smile at the unexpected habit he's carried home. During the live, the Rainy Days singer shared that he still wakes up at exactly 6:30 a.m., the standard wake-up time during military service. Out of pure habit, he even does the military-style roll call by himself before heading to the kitchen for breakfast. Taehyung says he wakes up at 6:30 and does the military role call (out of habit) at his home before having breakfast 😭 V, who enlisted alongside RM, Jimin, and Jungkook in December 2023, served in the Special Task Force unit, one of the more demanding divisions in the Korean military. Though he's now discharged, military routine has certainly left a mark on his daily life. Jungkook debuts new tattoos While Jungkook still seems to be in his post-military shy era, let's be honest, he doesn't need to say much to steal the spotlight. Dressed in a full-sleeve sweatshirt, denim jeans, and glasses, he kept things low-key but effortlessly radiated that signature Jungkook swag. Even with the cosy fit, eagle-eyed fans caught glimpses of his hand and chest tattoos during the live. While it's still unclear what new ink he's added, many were quick to point out that it's refreshing to see a K-pop idol continue to push boundaries with body art. In an industry where tattoos are still considered bold, Jungkook's evolving style feels like a quiet rebellion, and fans are here for it. #JUNGKOOK NEW TATTOO!!?? OH GOD jungkook's chest tattoo peeking Meanwhile, Namjoon, ever the thoughtful leader, gave ARMYs something to look forward to by teasing a possible group comeback in spring 2026. Suga, who's recently been making headlines for his meaningful acts of philanthropy, also chimed in.
