Kim You Jung Unveils Gyeongseong Spy Romance Alongside New Korean Entertainment Highlights
Anonymous
South Korea’s television and film scene has several projects in focus: tvN’s “100 Days of Lies,” a spy romance set in Gyeongseong, was introduced at a production presentation, while actor Shin Seung-ho appeared at a report for the film “Final Interview.” Disney+ is preparing to release “Tag Game,” a chase-and-survival variety show built around pursuit and psychological strategy. In the visual arts, Korean photographer Bohnchang Koo is known for images of Joseon-era moon jars and other precious objects, exploring their cultural meaning and the sense of history they carry.
Key Points
1
“100 Days of Lies” is tvN’s 20th-anniversary special Saturday-Sunday drama. Its premise pairs Gyeongseong’s top pickpocket-turned-spy with an elite interpreter for the Japanese Government-General, with interpretation used to reveal subtext and an independence-fighter-placed spy adding suspense.

Bohnchang Koo says he wanted his photographs to bring together Korean cultural treasures dispersed through occupation and war. He described the moon jar as “more than a precious antique object,” calling it “a soul-embodying vessel” able to embrace the hearts of viewers and its potter.

Koo has worked as an artist, teacher and curator in contemporary Korean photography for about three decades. His honors include the 2022 Samil Prize for the Arts, and he received a major retrospective at the Seoul Museum of Art in 2023–24.
