Between the Headlines | Kim Mingyu

Three years after appearing on EXchange, Oh Minseo has built a life she never expected.

Once known as the participant who chose no one, she is now a rising actress with a successful debut film, the lead of a hit television drama, and an executive director preparing to one day lead her family's company, OH Group. With every day carefully planned between filming, board meetings, and public appearances, her life feels busy, fulfilling, and exactly the way she wants it.

Kim Mingyu knows what it's like to live under constant attention. As a member of SEVENTEEN, he's spent years navigating packed schedules, flashing cameras, and headlines that often tell only part of the story. Despite the spotlight, the moments he values most are the ordinary ones shared with the people around him.

Their worlds begin to overlap through brand campaigns, industry events, and an unexpected variety show that brings together celebrities from different fields. What starts as polite conversations between two professionals slowly grows into an easy friendship built on shared laughter, quiet support, and moments away from the cameras.

As fans connect the dots, headlines write their own stories, and every public interaction becomes a topic of discussion, Minseo and Mingyu discover that the most meaningful parts of their lives are the ones no one else gets to see.

Because sometimes, the best stories are found between the headlines.
