tvN’s latest 24-hour express drama in Asia – Player (玩家) – starring the hottest stars, award-winning actor Song Seung-heon (宋承宪) and singer-actress Krystal (郑秀晶), will premiere exclusively on tvN in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia from 30 September (Every Sunday & Monday) at 21:45 (GMT+8). With the big success of express dramas like What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim and Familiar Wife, tvN expects that Player will continue to impress audience with its “thrilling” and “emotional” elements.

Player follows the story among four talented outlaws, i.e “players”, that rob the proceeds of crime and return to the poor. The team consists of veteran conman Kang Ha-ri (Song Seung-heon); skilled driver Cha Ah-ryung (Krystal); professional hacker Im Byung-min (Lee Si-eon); and inborn fighter Do Jin-woong (Tae Won-suk). Different from typical action dramas which stand on the viewpoint of the police or detectives, Player depicts a riveting story from the angle of swindlers, who are simply ordinary, or you may say not-really-rightful characters. This certainly draws keen attention to the fates of the crew as the story unfolds.

Likewise, Krystal’s first appearance on an action drama apparently grabs the audience’s attention. Krystal has expressed her feeling on her first challenge, “I always want to take part in an action drama. Although numerous action scenes in Player require lots of training and practice, other actors and the director are really experienced and caring, so I am well taken care of. The whole filming was exciting and enjoyable.” It is revealed that Krystal will take part in many car chasing scenes, which transform her from an elegant pretty lady from previous roles to a “girl crush” fearless driver!

When four people with different background and distinct character join forces, what kind of thrilling story will happen on them? Stay tuned to watch out the perfect chemistry of this “Gang of Four”!

Player will broadcast on tvN in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia from 30 September (Every Sunday & Monday) at 21:45 (GMT+8), within 24 hours after its broadcast in Korea, with subtitles in English, Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia.

Chart-topping Chinese recording artist/songwriter/producer/actor Kris Wu has shared his latest single, “Freedom” ft. Jhené Aiko. Released via Ace Unit/Interscope Records, “Freedom” is available now via all digital retailers.

Produced by FKi 1st (Migos, 2 Chainz, Post Malone, Travis Scott), “Freedom” is a quietly powerful melodic rap track that unfolds with graceful guitar and heart-stirring string arrangements over trap drums. Shifting effortlessly from soulful serenade to nimble, rapid-fire flow, Kris’s vocal delivery makes an irresistible match for Aiko’s lush yet ethereal voice.

“Freedom” follows Kris’s recent single “Like That,” which debuted at #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at #37 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Hailed as a “contagious, slow tempo record” by HotNewHipHop and a “breezy bop with a romantic twist” by Idolator, “Like That” hit #1 on the US iTunes Chart immediately after premiering in May.

Also in May, Kris shared the video for “Like That" featuring British supermodel Stella Maxwell which the music video garnered over 14 million views to date.

Both “Freedom” and “Like That” are set to appear on Kris’s forthcoming debut album, due out this fall. The two singles are Kris’s first releases since signing an exclusive international recording agreement with Interscope Records / Universal Music Group (UMG) in April. 

Last October, Kris became the first-ever Chinese artist to reach #1 on the US iTunes Chart, thanks to the smash success of his single “Deserve” ft. Travis Scott. Along with breaking the Top 40 on US Rhythmic radio, “Deserve” has racked up more than a billion streams globally. 

One of Asia’s biggest stars, 27-year-old Kris was born in Guangzhou, China. Over the past two years, he’s gained an international following with a series of viral hits that he co-wrote and co-produced (including “July,” “6,” “B.M.,” and “Juice”). With those tracks amassing millions of plays online and attracting a major fanbase in the US, he’s also starred in movies like XxX: Return of Xander Cage and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. In addition, he serves as a global brand ambassador for BVLGARI and a global brand ambassador at Burberry (earning the distinction of being the first non-British person chosen to represent the luxury brand). In early 2018, Wu was tapped as an ambassador for the NFL and became the first Chinese artist to perform at Super Bowl LIVE.
