Hyeri and Kang Hye-won will both appear in the upcoming STUDIO X+U drama “Friendly Rivalry,” set to premiere on January 10. While revealing behind-the-scenes moments from the shoot, Kang Hye-won shared, “Hyeri unnie would sometimes ask me, ‘How do I look today?’ This is how you’d ask. ‘Am I pretty?’ asking like this with a very expectant look.”
Kang Hye-won continued, “I am the type to tell you if something doesn’t look good.” Laughing, Hyeri responded, “I’m such a strange person, though.” Kang Hye-won added, “At first, ‘Uh… uh, you’re pretty?’ I would say like that, but later on before turning around I would prepare myself. I’ll tell her specificallythat this suits her well.” Hearing this, Hyeri joked, “Did you prepare for that more than acting?”
Hyeri then shared the extraordinary effort she put into her role in “Friendly Rivalry.” “The character Jay is one of the top 1% at Chae-hwa Girls’ High School, right? Family background, grades, beauty. She’s just at the top in every way…,” Hyeri explained. “I put a lot of effort into her appearance including accessories, bags, and outfits. Actually, when doing dramas sponsorships aren’t easy to get. So I bought everything myself.”
A shocked Kang Hye-won exclaimed, “Oh, really? All of that… They were way too expensive for someone… to just think.. ‘I’ll pay for it myself.'” Hyeri confirmed, “It was all my own purchase. I felt like those details would really bring out the character. So I thought, ‘I can’t miss this,’ and I went around shops buying things that seemed to suit Jay one by one.”

Meanwhile, “Friendly Rivalry,” starring Hyeri and Kang Hye-won, is a mystery-thriller centered on the intense academic competition at South Korea’s top-tier Chaehwa Girls’ High School. The drama follows transfer student Seulgi as she encounters classmates revealing their ambitions, all while unraveling the suspicious death of her father, a former CSAT question setter.

tvN’s upcoming drama “My Dearest Nemesis” has unveiled a new behind-the-scenes video from its poster shoot!
Based on a popular webtoon, “My Dearest Nemesis” tells the love story of a man and woman who first meet via their online game characters during their school days, then meet again in real life as boss and employee 16 years later.
In the video, Mun Ka Young is the first to shoot a poster for her character Baek Su Jeong. After warmly greeting the staff, she quickly learns about the concept for the poster: to portray Baek Su Jeong thinking about her first love, she must come across as sullen and slightly cold, with a touch of prickliness. After hearing the staff’s requests, she perfectly embodies the character’s mood, impressing everyone on set and making the shoot go smoothly.
Choi Hyun Wook is also seen dressed in a sharp suit, portraying his chaebol heir character Ban Ju Yeon. He describes his role as having the vibe of a moody teenager with emotional wounds. While displaying such boyish charm, he also brings a mature energy to the character, leaving the staff in awe of his looks and his acting.
Later, the two leads come together to shoot their couple posters. Whether in an office setting or a more casual, quirky environment, the actors’ undeniable chemistry shines through, leaving viewers eager to see more of them together in the upcoming drama.
Watch the full making-of video below!
