Park Hyung Sik’s Love Life – A Mystery
Here’s the kicker: Park Hyung Sik’s love life is a locked vault. This dude’s been linked to everyone. Park Bo Young? Strong Woman Do Bong Soon had us all believing they were soulmates – those behind-the-scenes hugs? Chef’s kiss. Han Ji Min? She sent him a food truck, and we lost it. Even aespa’s Giselle got a wild rumor from Japan – debunked faster than you can say ‘oppa.’ Point is, he’s never confirmed a single fling. At 33, he’s still the bachelor king. Oh, and did I mention he’s a real-life rich kid? Daddy’s in luxury car imports, and Hyung Sik’s got his own company, P&Studio. Yeah, he’s that guy.

Enter Hong Hwa Yeon – The Rookie Stealing Hearts
Now, meet Hong Hwa Yeon – the newbie who’s got everyone buzzing. Buried Hearts is her big break, and she’s killing it. Director Jin Chang Gyu couldn’t hold back the praise: ‘Her audition beat out a 100:1 ratio. Every actor in the room was like, whoa, she’s it.’ They sifted through tons of hopefuls, but her vibe – deep, melancholic, drop-dead gorgeous – matched the show’s soul perfectly. He added, ‘She’d hinted at this depth in a couple small roles before, but her audition? She flipped a switch, blew us away, and scored top marks.’ Rookie? Sure. Star power? Undeniable.
