Han Ye-ri was wearing a sweet red dress and Choi Won-young was wearing a neat tuxedo. Both of them were at ease with the crowd of fans, which is little surprise given that both have had extensive careers in the South Korean entertainment industry.

"Ongals" features Cha In-pyo's debut as a director. "Somewhere in Between" is to be a showcase for Lee Dong-hwi.
