In the upcoming episode of UNDERCOVER (언더커버), airing today, March 9, at 7:40 PM on ENA, Seo Samuel (서사무엘) will make a surprising announcement regarding his marriage. The episode features model Han Hye-jin (한혜진) as a special MC and showcases the 'TOP 10' contestants: Kim Ye-chan (김예찬), Kim Ui-seo (김의서), Park Jun-seong (박준성), Vincent Blue (빈센트블루), Seo Samuel, Seo Hee (서희), Lee Joon (이준), Lee Ji-min (이지민), Jeon Geon-ho (전건호), and Jung Nam-do (정남도). 

The episode will highlight the first round of the final mission, the '1vs1 TOP5 Decision Match,' where the ten cover singers will compete with their 'life cover songs' to determine who advances to the second round. A notable face-off will occur between Vincent Blue and Seo Samuel. 

Having previously teamed up in the 'Duet Tag Battle,' the stakes are high as one of them must be eliminated in this final mission, adding to the suspense for viewers. Seo Samuel expressed his emotions before his performance, stating, "This is a song I wanted to sing for someone I love, and I will be getting married soon. I will sing it thinking of my wife." This heartfelt sentiment raises anticipation for his performance.

Park Han-byul is set to return to the entertainment scene after a six-year hiatus, joining the cast of TV Chosun's variety show 'Dad and Me' (아빠하고 나하고) Season 2. This marks her first appearance on television since her husband, Yoo In-seok, was embroiled in the Burning Sun scandal. The production team announced that Park has already completed filming and will share her daily life with her father, although the broadcast date is still under discussion.

The new season of 'Dad and Me,' premiering on March 11, focuses on the complex relationship between fathers and their children, allowing them to express their feelings and work towards understanding and forgiveness. Park Han-byul, the only daughter of former soccer player Park Chae-hwa, will be featured alongside her father, which has generated significant interest as they have rarely appeared together on a variety show.

Park's return to the entertainment industry comes after a challenging period. She married Yoo In-seok, the former CEO of Yuri Holdings, in 2017 and welcomed a son. However, in 2019, Yoo was implicated in the Burning Sun scandal, leading to a suspended prison sentence of one year in 2020. At that time, Park expressed her concerns about separating her husband's past from her own life, stating, "I felt it was impossible to completely separate the past of someone I would spend my life with from myself, but I was in a very cautious position as the investigation was ongoing. I apologize."

Following the scandal, Park halted her entertainment activities, with her last project being the MBC drama 'When It Hurts, Love' (슬플 때 사랑한다) in 2019. The drama aired during the height of her husband's controversy, resulting in calls for her to step down, but she completed the series. Afterward, she moved to Jeju Island with her son and started a new life, even opening a café.

In October 2021, she hinted at a possible return to acting by re-signing with her former agency, EL Park, which expressed support for her comeback. However, the contract eventually ended without any significant developments. In 2023, Park launched her personal YouTube channel and signed with a new agency, Chan Entertainment, in December 2024, signaling her return to the industry. She emphasized her commitment to returning to acting through short-form dramas and confirmed her comeback to variety shows with 'Dad and Me.'

Additionally, in November of last year, Park invited her close friend, comedian Hong In-kyu, to her YouTube channel, where they discussed her husband's situation. She asked if there were any questions he wanted to ask about the controversy, to which he cautiously inquired about their relationship. Park reassured him that they were doing well, addressing the divorce rumors circulating about them. Hong noted that he felt relieved to hear that everything was resolved, and Park humorously gestured that she was keeping a close watch on her husband.

As Park Han-byul returns to the variety show scene with her father, many are curious if she will openly discuss the emotional struggles and challenges she faced during the Burning Sun incident.

On the premiere episode of ENA's new variety show, 'Choi Hwa-jung and Kim Ho-young's I Missed You,' aired on March 8, Choo Sung-hoon opened up about his daughter, Sarang. He proudly shared that Sarang is 13 years old and stands over 165 cm tall, boasting about her long legs. 

Choo also discussed a recent video on his personal channel where Sarang cut his hair, expressing that he enjoyed the hair dyeing experience even more. He reminisced about dyeing his hair with Sarang when his mother started getting gray hair, highlighting the special bond they share during those moments. 

During the show, Kim Ho-young brought up Sarang's long-time male friend, Yuto, who comes from a family of doctors for 15 generations. When Choi Hwa-jung asked Choo how he would feel if Sarang were to marry Yuto, he responded, 'If they like each other, I have no reason to stop them. She's not just a 13-year-old; she thinks about the future and we connect well.'

On March 9, it was reported that the SBS drama Treasure Island (보물섬), written by Lee Myung-hee and directed by Jin Chang-kyu, achieved its highest viewership rating yet. The sixth episode, aired on March 8, garnered a nationwide rating of 11.2%, marking a 3 percentage point increase from the previous episode. This impressive figure secured the drama the top spot across all channels during its time slot, including Saturday mini-series and weekly mini-series rankings. In the Seoul metropolitan area, the rating reached 11%, with a peak of 12.3%. The 2049 demographic rating also stood at 2.9%, further highlighting the show's popularity.

In the latest episode, the intense dynamics between Seo Dong-joo (Park Hyung-sik), Yeom Jang-seon (Heo Jun-ho), and Heo Il-do (Lee Hae-young) created a gripping atmosphere filled with tension. Yeom Jang-seon’s ruthless ambition was on full display as he resorted to extreme measures, shocking Seo Dong-joo.

Previously, Yeom Jang-seon had kidnapped Seo Dong-joo, believing he was faking amnesia, and subjected him to torture in hopes of extracting the password to a 2 trillion won bank account. However, even under extreme duress, Seo Dong-joo remained silent about the password, leading to speculation that he truly had lost his memory. Eventually, Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do changed their approach, with Heo Il-do rescuing Seo Dong-joo from his captors.

Feigning concern, Yeom Jang-seon embraced the battered Seo Dong-joo, who expressed gratitude for being saved. The ambiguity surrounding Seo Dong-joo's true memory status added layers to the unfolding drama, as both Yeom Jang-seon and Heo Il-do concealed their true intentions.

As the episode progressed, the three men began to exert pressure on one another. Heo Il-do, convinced of Seo Dong-joo's amnesia, demanded half of the political slush fund from Yeom Jang-seon, stating, "It’s better to give up half than risk losing everything." This unexpected shift in Heo Il-do's demeanor raised alarms for Yeom Jang-seon.

Meanwhile, Seo Dong-joo, whether intentionally or not, also began to confront Heo Il-do. Staying at the Daesan family home, he appeared late at night in Heo Il-do's workout space, provoking feelings of insecurity and jealousy in Heo Il-do. Seo Dong-joo escalated the confrontation by asking, "Did you try to kill me with a gun?"

In response to the mounting pressure from Heo Il-do, Yeom Jang-seon resolved to deliver an even greater shock to Seo Dong-joo in hopes of triggering his memories. His chosen method was particularly sinister: he planned to kill Seo Dong-joo's sister, Sister Agnes (Han Ji-hye), in front of him. Witnessing the tragic accident involving his sister plunged Seo Dong-joo into a state of shock, seemingly triggering flashes of his past memories.

The episode concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, as Seo Dong-joo, reeling from the shock, faced Yeom Jang-seon, who ominously declared, "I will bring back your lost memories with an even greater shock!" This unexpected ending left viewers eager for Seo Dong-joo's retaliation against Yeom Jang-seon, setting the stage for a gripping continuation. The performances of the cast effectively captured the tension and complexity of the narrative.
