    Cable channel Genie TV will kick off the summer with its highly anticipated eight-part suspense thriller series “Lies Hidden in My Garden.”

    Director Jung Ji Hyun and the star-studded cast did not hide their excitement for the series during a press conference at Stanford Hotel Seoul in Mapo-gu, Seoul on Monday.

    “Our drama does not have a lot of sensational, shocking scenes to surprise and thrill viewers like many existing thriller projects. However, our show has a mysterious aura and uncanny atmosphere that will entertain them,” said actor Lim Ji Yeon, who caught many drama fans’ hearts in the hit revenge series “The Glory.”

    In contrast to her role as the iconic villain Yeon Jin in “The Glory,” Lim plays a pregnant woman who is a victim of domestic violence in “Lies Hidden in My Garden.”

    Lim stressed that as she shot "Lies Hidden in My Garden" before the release of "The Glory," she was not under any pressure to show a different side of herself as an actor. Rather, she was simply drawn to the character of Sang Sun.

    “Initially, I wanted to know who Sang-eun was. As I delved into the script, I simply wished to become Sang Eun. After I read the original novel, I was satisfied with my choice to star this series,” Lim said.

    Co-star Kim Tae Hee who is returning to the small screen three years after 2020’s “Hi Bye, Mama!” agreed with Lim about the unique charms of the series' individual characters.

    “Though thriller is an unfamiliar genre for me, the storyline was exciting. When I finished reading the script for the first episode, I was eager to find out what would happen next. Simply imagining myself playing Joo Ran made my heart race,” Kim said during the press conference.

    “I feel that our series is a well-made project that will satisfy thriller fans' passion for suspense. I didn’t feel a lot of pressure with viewership, but I hope the series will be enjoyed by as many people as possible,” the actor added.

    Director Jung Ji Hyun, who was behind the smash hit coming-of-age series “Twenty Five Twenty One,” said that he put his utmost effort to bring what was written in the script to life on the screen.

    “‘Lies Hidden in My Garden’ did not have a lot of dialogue. The characters’ psychological state and emotions were expressed through texts in many cases. So I tried to explain and present the characters with various camera angles, shots with symbolic props and show their facial expressions, among others,” the director said.

    “Lies Hidden in My Garden” is expected to be one of the most anticipated series of the year, as Lim stars in the series with top actor Kim for the first time.

    Adapted from a novel titled “A House with A Yard” (unofficial translation) by author Kim Jin Young, the thriller series revolves around an ordinary housewife named Joo Ran (played by Kim), whose life veers in an unexpected direction after noticing a strange smell in her backyard and meeting Sang Run (played by Lim).

    Meeting both local and global drama fans’ high expectations, “Lies Hidden in My Garden” pre-sold its distribution rights to 190 countries before its premiere.

    “Lies Hidden in My Garden” premieres at 10 p.m. on Monday, with new episodes to be released on Mondays and Tuesdays on local cable channel ENA and on global streaming platforms Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu Japan, iQIYI and Rakuten Viki.

    RM, leader of K-pop supergroup Bangtan Sonyeondan, on Saturday shared how he feels about the band's 10th anniversary, which fell earlier this week.

     

    He hit the stage for "It's Kim Nam Joon at 5 pm" a special program held as part of the two weeks of BTS 10th Anniversary Festa, which kicked off at various places in Seoul on Monday.

     

    "I used to go to school with Yoongi and practice when I was a trainee, but it feels amazing and nostalgic that I'm here to celebrate our 10th anniversary with a festival like this," he said during the talk session held at Han River Park in Seoul's Yeouido area.

     

    "Kim Nam Joon" in the title is the original Korean name of the BTS member, while Min Yoon Gi is Suga's real name.

     

    About 3,000 members of the band's dedicated fandom, Army, chosen in a lottery, attended the event, while other fans enjoyed the show on a large screen set up at the festival venue.

    The rapper read the stories of selected fans during the talk session, assuming the role of a radio DJ.


    The rapper performed "Intro: Persona," a Bangtan Sonyeondan song, and "Wild Flower," the lead track of his solo debut album, during the show.

     

    All fans who attended the show as well as others outside stood up and enthusiastically waved LED wands known as "Army bombs" as if they were actually at a concert. 

     

    He also had surprise telephone conversations with bandmates Jungkook and V.

     

    Jungkook, who called from Los Angeles, said: "I'd like to see you. Armys, please enjoy yourself." V expressed his regret for not being able to join the event.

     

    The one-day event at Yeouido Han River Park is the highlight of the two-week-long festival that kicked off Monday.

     

    The event transformed the park into a sea of purple, the color symbolizing the group, as it became crowded with hundreds of thousands of BTS fans donning purple T-shirts, bags, hats or masks.

     

    Additionally, most of the signboards and structures installed there were also adorned in the same hue.

     

    There were long lines of fans waiting under the scorching sun to take selfies in photo zones or against the backdrop of "the BTS history wall" and an exhibition of the group's stage costumes.

     

    Also popular was a booth where fans can get a hands-on experience with tattoo stickers bearing titles of the band's hit songs and meaningful phrases related to the group.

     

    Later in the night, a breathtaking fireworks display served as a grand finale of the event, accompanied by Bangtan Sonyeondan songs and narration from Jungkook.
