Korean drama “My Youth” stars Song Joong-ki and Jung Woo-hee report on their whirlwind Japan promotional visit ​
Fuji Television Network, Inc. Press Release: September 4, 2025 Report on Song Joong-ki and Jung Woo-hee’s whirlwind Japan promotional visit for the Korean drama “My Youth” Exclusively available in Japan on FOD from September 5th! Starting September 5th, Fuji TV’s video streaming service FOD will begin exclusive domestic streaming of the Korean drama “My Youth” (the latest episode will be released every Friday). The film stars two top Korean stars, Song Joong-ki (Descendants of the Sun, Vincenzo, etc.) and Jung Woo-hee (It’s Okay to Be 30, etc.). Joong-ki plays Sung Woo-hye, a florist and novelist who carries emotional scars from his childhood, while Woo-hee plays Song Jae-young, who failed in her attempts to live up to her parents’ expectations and now works at an entertainment agency. This is an adult romance story about two first loves who reunite and move forward in love and life while healing their own emotional wounds. We followed the pair as they bustled through their promotional visit to Japan at the end of August, just before the series began streaming. Press Conference for the Drama “My Youth”

(C) GEKKO Approximately 100 journalists from television, magazines, and online media attended the press conference held in Ebisu, proving the high level of interest. At the beginning, a gentle and beautiful special video from the drama was played, and then Joon-gi appeared in a white long-sleeved T-shirt and chinos, while Woo-hee appeared smiling in a denim sleeveless top and skirt set with beige short boots. The two greeted the audience in Japanese, warming the mood. When asked about their impression when they first read the script for “My Youth,” Joon-gi said, “The first thing I felt was sadness and excitement,” while Woo-hee commented, “It felt like I was gently turning the page and peeking into the depths of someone’s heart.” They then shared stories from filming while looking at flip charts of memorable scenes. In response to a press question, “How would you describe each other’s characters in one word?” Joon-gi replied, “Jae-young is ‘lovely’!”, eliciting a cheer from the audience. The two also showed their familiarity with Japan. Woohee, who has traveled to Tokyo, Kyoto, and Sapporo with friends, said, “I’m looking forward to meeting my fans for the first time this time,” while Joon Gi revealed, “I’ve been to Tokyo many times, and when I want to take a break, I go to Karuizawa, and last year I went to Mount Fuji. I love eel, and I also love the food at Japanese convenience stores.” Finally, Joon Gi said, “The series will start streaming on FOD from September 5th. It’s a work that will bring back fond memories that each of us has,” and Woo Hee said, “I’m very happy that it will be streamed simultaneously in Korea and Japan. Please support ‘My Youth’.” It was a press conference where sincerity could be felt in every polite and thoughtful word. 2,000 people go wild in Shinjuku!

Despite the last-minute announcement, 2,000 fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the pair. Joon-gi clasped his hand over his mouth in surprise at the unexpected turnout, saying, “Thank you so much for waiting in the heat! I hope we’ll feel a hint of autumn around September 5th, when ‘My Youth’ begins streaming. It’s a first love drama perfect for autumn.” Woo-hee added, “This is my first time in Japan for promotion, and I’m so touched to meet you all in person. I hope you’ll like this drama.” Cheers erupted every time they waved or made hearts with their fingers or cheeks. It was a short visit, but the waiting fans were undoubtedly very satisfied. Hearing the voices of those who came to see them… Comments, photos, and videos such as, “I took three of my coworkers to see Song Joong-ki! He’s a beautiful prince… I feel so purified!”, “On my way back from an errand in Shinjuku, there was a huge crowd. We’re going to watch the drama!!!”, “Woo-hee looks beautiful even in this heat!”, and “That smile, and the way he waved to the people watching from the surrounding buildings, he’s just divine” were posted one after another.

With completely new outfits, Joon Gi wore a white T-shirt, a black jacket, and jeans, while Woo Hee wore a black mini dress. The two appeared with smiles on their faces, showing no signs of fatigue. During the talk event, they delved deeper into their thoughts on “My Youth.” Woo-hee said, “The word
‘breakthrough,’ which Jae-young often uses in the drama, suits her perfectly. She tries to break through in her own way, both in love and with Sung-woo Hye.” Joon-gi said of Sung-woo Hye, “He’s kind. And I feel sorry for him. He’s lived with such painful emotional scars, which is why I was able to heal (after filming). Playing the kind man Sung-woo Hye has given me strength.” In response to a fan’s question, “What Japanese word did you learn recently?” Joon-gi replied, “‘I’m always happy.’ A friend taught me this word.” Woo-hee replied, “‘Gorogoro suru’ (to purr) (laughs). Because it sounds cute.” Joon-gi said, “Everyone, thank you so much for taking the time to come today despite your busy schedules and sending us your energy,” and Woo-hee added, “Today was a special event in my life. I hope this drama will remain deeply in your hearts.” The event ended with both the couple and their fans feeling reluctant to part ways. During their stay in Japan, the couple responded to numerous media interviews. They received rave reviews from the journalists who interviewed them. Joon Gi was always considerate even during interviews. His personality has earned him the seal of approval from the media. Woo Hee was so cute that even a professional photographer praised her. The couple worked hard and kept smiling despite their demanding, minute-by-minute schedule. Anticipation for the drama is building.
