Good Boy Featuring Park Bo-gum and Kim So-hyun Set to Premiere on May 31
The new K-drama Good Boy is already creating a buzz as it gets ready to hit JTBC screens on May 31, 2025. Packed with action, comedy, and emotional depth, this series brings something fresh to the table: a story about former athletes who swap medals for badges and step into the world of crime fighting.
At the center of it all is Park Bo-gum, who plays Yoon Dong-joo, a former Olympic boxing champ. Once the pride of the nation, Yoon’s life takes a different turn after a series of personal struggles. Now, he’s part of a special police unit that handles serious crimes. The ring may be gone, but his fighting spirit is still very much alive. His journey is all about finding new purpose and adjusting to a world where fists aren’t always the answer.
Kim So-hyun plays Ji Han-na, a former Olympic shooting gold medalist. Calm, sharp, and fiercely determined, she’s left her sports career behind after a painful incident and now wears the police uniform with pride. Her unmatched precision and cool-headedness make her a strong asset to the team, and her chemistry with Bo-gum’s character is something fans are looking forward to.
They’re not alone.
Additionally, the drama features a solid team of ex-athletes now working in law enforcement. Lee Sang-yi joins as a quick-thinking former fencer, Heo Sung-tae as a retired wrestler who now leads the unit, Tae Won-seok as a powerful ex-discus thrower, and Oh Jung-se as a customs officer whose polite exterior might be hiding something deeper. Together, they form a unit that’s as unusual as it is effective. Their different sports backgrounds give them unexpected strengths in the field.
Behind the scenes, Good Boy is in good hands. It’s written by Lee Dae-il, the mind behind Chief of Staff and Life on Mars, and directed by Shim Na-yeon, known for Beyond Evil and The Good Bad Mother. With this duo steering the ship, fans can expect a mix of tension, humor, and human moments that stick.
In addition, the show will air every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM (KST) on JTBC. For viewers outside Korea, it’ll be available on Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video, so international fans can keep up with the story as it unfolds.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
