Byeon Woo-seok, Park Eun-bin, Kiss of Life: A peek at their childhood photos on South Korea's Children's Day, Entertainment News
Every year on May 5, South Korea and Japan celebrate Children's Day and some celebrities commemorate the occasion by taking to social media and posting pictures of themselves from their childhood. Here's a look at some Korean stars from when they were cute little ones. Park Eun-bin Today (May 5), actress Park Eun-bin joined in on the fun and posted on Instagram an adorable picture of herself as a young tree-hugger. The 32-year-old is well-known for her versatility in acting, excelling in dramas like Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) and most recently Hyper Knife. Next up, we will see her in drama series The Wonder Fools starring Cha Eun-woo. Kiss of Life K-pop girl group Kiss of Life shared photos of their younger selves yesterday. On their X page, a chalkboard collage edit was put up of the four girls — Julie, Belle, Natty and Haneul — with short text scribbled in the members' handwriting. In case you missed it, they had an exciting concert in Singapore just two weeks ago and announced that they have a new song coming up. Stay tuned! Byeon Woo-seok Last year, actor Byeon Woo-seok's agency posted on Instagram a scrapbook-style picture of their talents as children, and the Lovely Runner star can be seen dressed stylishly in a beige coat and scarf. Even from such a young age, his fashion sense was already so pronounced. The 33-year-old, who was recently in Singapore to attend an event by Cartier, is set to be the main lead in the upcoming K-drama The 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife starring IU later this year. Jackson Wang He's not Korean but he did make his showbiz debut in the K-pop boy band Got7. On his 31st birthday this year, Jackson Wang's mum posted a picture of him on Instagram and dedicated some sweet words to him. In her post, she wrote: "My dear son, time flies and it's your birthday again... Looking back on the past, you have overcome all obstacles and bravely pursued your dreams. Every step you took has witnessed your transformation and made you the outstanding person you are today. "Use your kindness and tenacity to write your own wonderful chapter, filling the eyes of all those who love you with proud stars. In the new year, I wish that you'll have a healthy body to embrace every morning and evening; I wish your life to be poetic and picturesque, filled with incomparable sunshine and laughter." In March, Jackson hopped on Super Junior Eunhyuk's podcast Hey, Come Here?, where he spoke candidly about quirky moments with Got7 throughout the years. The Hong Kong-born former national fencer even recounted that he once "threw instant rice" when asked to reveal their biggest fight. Twice To borrow the name of one of their hit songs, it's pretty 'Fancy' how the members of K-pop girl group Twice all understood the assignment and dressed the part to recreate their childhood photos. In 2022, the girls made a side-by-side comparison post of themselves on Instagram, donning fits inspired by their kid-selves and in the same poses too! View this post on Instagram A post shared by TWICE (@twicetagram) Just last month, they performed as special guests at Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour concerts in Seoul. They will also embark on their sixth world tour this year. Keep your ears peeled for their tour stops! Ma Dong-seok Actor Ma Dong-seok, also known by his English name Don Lee, posted a video compilation on Instagram last May of himself through the years, from when he was four years old. The 54-year-old will be starring in Pig Village, the first large-scale English-language film to be produced almost entirely in South Korea.

In Disney+'s Hyper Knife, Park Eun-bin sheds earnest Extraordinary Attorney Woo persona
Disney+'s Hyper Knife marks a bold new chapter for actor Park Eun-bin, who sheds her wholesome image to portray a sociopathic doctor in the series – a striking departure from her previous roles. Advertisement Her intense performance on set has reportedly drawn praise and even astonishment from the crew. Known for consistently choosing challenging roles, Park returns as Jung Se-ok, a once-promising genius surgeon who now performs operations at an illegal clinic. What sets this project apart from her previous work is the towering presence of veteran actor Sul Kyung-gu. While Park led previous hits like Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Castaway Diva as a solo star, Hyper Knife introduces a new dynamic with Sul as her counterpart.

Park Eun-Bin Holds Power Over Life And Death In ‘Hyper Knife'
Yoon Chan-young and Park Eun-bin star in 'Hyper Knife.' Gifted surgeon Jeong Se-ok is talented enough to perform a life-saving brain dissection. However, Se-ok, played by Park Eun-bin in the new Disney k-drama Hyper Knife, is also ruthless enough to randomly end a life. Se-ok, who lost her medical license a while ago, performs illegal brain surgery in remote places, with the help of fellow doctor Han Hyun-oh, played by Park Eun-bin (Moving, Alchemy of Souls ), and helper Seo Young-joo, played by Yoon Chang-young (All of Us Are Dead, Hope or Dope). Se-ok saves those she loves—or those who pay her well—but she's not afraid to kill those who threaten her or get in her way. After abandoning the Hippocratic Oath, she became so skilled at operating in the shadows that the police can't find any evidence of her illegal surgeries. She has a grudge against her former boss, neurosurgeon Choi Deok-hee, played by Sol Kyun-gu (A Normal Family, Phantom, Kill Boksoon), but he knows she's the only surgeon competent enough to help him with his own medical problem. Medical k-dramas are rarely just about medicine. Sometimes there's a mystery to solve, sometimes there's romance to resolve and this year Trauma Code even incorporated heroic action scenes. Hyper Knife takes the medical k-drama in another direction. It's a noir thriller about a doctor who is also a killer. Does she care about the people she saves or is she just interested in the challenge provided by their surgeries? It's hard to tell. Park Eun-bin plays a brilliant brain surgeon with some darker impulses. Viewers who have seen Park Eun-bin play endearing characters in dramas such as Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Castaway or The King's Affection, will likely find her transformation impressive. Whatever character she's played in the past, her eyes sparkled and she conveyed a bright optimism. Her character's face in Hyper Knife is blank and dispassionate. Her eyes seem empty. She has no remorse when it comes to killing those she deems dangerous. 'Why do you keep trying to kill people,' a worried Young-joo asks Se-oh. 'Why cant I,' she answers. Why not? She dispenses her own brand of justice. Director Kim Hyung-jun, who previously directed the political comedy My Fellow Citizens, opens the drama with an engagingly moody scene set in an empty Buddhist temple. The first episodes feature plenty of interesting and unsettling cinematic visuals. Blood pulses and gushes, staining surgeons' gowns. Cloyingly-sweet cherries slide off and discolor a slice of cheesecake. Cigarette embers burn in the dark and popsicles pointlessly drip red sticky liquid. Evidence is burned in a raging fire. A brain is neatly dissected. A throat is expertly slit. Hyper Knife is a dark story driven by Park's chilling command of her character. There are many scenes in which viewers might want to look away, but never when Park's face is on the screen. Hyper Knife airs on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu in the U.S.
