'Dear X' Shocking and Twisted Developments! Kim Yoo-jung's Secret is Revealed!

The Tving Original 〈Dear X〉 Kim Yoo-jung finds herself in an unexpected crisis. In the episodes 7-8 of the Tving Original 〈Dear X〉 released on the 20th (Thursday), Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung) and Heo In-gang (Hwang In-yeob) develop into a romantic relationship, while the relationships and emotions of the characters surrounding them become increasingly intense. Meanwhile, Heo In-gang learns that not everything about Baek Ah-jin was sincere, leading to a tragic end that delivers an unprecedented shock and twist.

Baek Ah-jin and Heo In-gang have acknowledged their romantic relationship. Baek Ah-jin secretly met with Lim Hee-guk (Ryu Kyung-hwan), a cousin of Lena (Lee Yeol-eum) and a reporter in the entertainment department, amidst the concerns of CEO Seo Mi-ri (Kim Ji-young). She made a secret deal, promising to provide exclusive coverage about her relationship with Heo In-gang, steering the dating rumors in her favor. Baek Ah-jin's mysterious smile, saying, "My romance will be very loud and hot," piqued curiosity about her big picture.

The two have been an official couple in the entertainment industry for about a year, experiencing both glamorous and ordinary moments in their relationship. The feelings of Yoon Jun-seo (Kim Young-dae) and Kim Jae-oh (Kim Do-hoon), who can only watch them, became more complicated as time passed. Kim Jae-oh thought it was a relief that there was no contact at all, yet he couldn't hide his bitterness, while Yoon Jun-seo felt anxious that Baek Ah-jin had not returned after the promised year.

Baek Ah-jin also grew close to Heo In-gang's family. In particular, his grandmother Hong Kyung-sook (Park Seung-tae), who approached her first, cherished her like a real family. However, Hong Kyung-sook discovered her lost notebook at Baek Ah-jin's house, realizing that she had intentionally approached her grandson Heo In-gang and his family. Consequently, Baek Ah-jin rushed to Hong Kyung-sook's house, and Yoon Jun-seo and Kim Jae-oh, who followed her, sensed something unusual from the loud noise coming from afar.

Was it an accident or an incident? Only Baek Ah-jin knew the truth. Yoon Jun-seo suspected that Baek Ah-jin had acted impulsively, while Kim Jae-oh disapproved of Yoon Jun-seo's suspicion towards Baek Ah-jin. Heo In-gang, who had briefly dreamed of marrying Baek Ah-jin, fell into sadness and a sense of loss after losing his precious family. As rumors of their marriage surfaced, Baek Ah-jin revealed her true self and coldly broke up with Heo In-gang.

Amidst the continuous bad news, Yoon Jun-seo visited Baek Ah-jin to question the truth. Baek Ah-jin responded with anger, saying, "To blame me is ultimately to blame your past self." Eventually, Yoon Jun-seo, feeling like he was opening Pandora's box, checked the video on the USB containing the truth about the Hong Kyung-sook incident, falling into guilt for having hurt Baek Ah-jin with his anxious belief.

Above all, amidst the wildly unpredictable developments, Choi Jung-ho (Kim Ji-hoon) and Shim Sung-hee (Kim Yi-kyung) made another appearance, drawing attention. Choi Jung-ho aroused Baek Ah-jin's wariness due to his connection with Hong Kyung-sook, but he rather replied, "Don't forget that there is someone out there who genuinely pities you and supports you; that is the best revenge I can offer." After failing to expose Baek Ah-jin's past, Shim Sung-hee visited her home, hinting at another scheme. Along with mysterious men following Kim Jae-oh, the appearance of a new character named Moon Do-hyuk (Hong Jong-hyun) heightened the tension to its peak. The Tving Original 〈Dear X〉 Episodes 9-10 will be released on the 27th (Thursday) at 6 PM.
