Kim You-jung Caught in a Dangerous Standoff with Hwang In-yeop, Kim Young-dae, and Lee Yeol-eum in 'Dear X'

TVING Original Series 'Dear X' has unveiled stills from episodes 7 and 8, scheduled for release on the 20th, showcasing a tense confrontation involving characters surrounding Baek A-jin (Kim You-jung).

Episodes 5 and 6 depicted Baek A-jin's relentless pursuit of the top spot in her acting career. Despite her meteoric rise to stardom, her hidden past served as a critical vulnerability. Her rival, Rena (Lee Yeol-eum), leveraged the 'shackle file,' containing secrets from A-jin's past, to pressure her. Detective Park Dae-ho (Shin Moon-sung), who handled the Baek Seon-gyu murder case, also threatened to expose the truth. A-jin navigated these crises by manipulating her manager Hyang (Hyun Seo-ha), Yoon Jun-seo (Kim Young-dae), and Kim Jae-o (Kim Do-hoon), ultimately setting her sights on Heo In-gaap (Hwang In-yeop) as her next target.

By the end of episode 6, In-gaap had fallen completely into A-jin's trap. The newly released stills capture A-jin and In-gaap, who have naturally developed into a couple. In-gaap gazes at A-jin with loving eyes, having shed all suspicion and caution. However, their idyllic moment is shattered by the sudden appearance of Jun-seo and Rena. Jun-seo is aware of A-jin's insincerity, while Rena, In-gaap's ex-girlfriend, harbors deep animosity towards A-jin. The perilous encounter between the four characters injects an palpable tension.

Meanwhile, Kim Jae-o's impending crisis also heightens curiosity. In another released photo, Jae-o's eyes gleam sharply through his helmet as he scrutinizes someone outside a car window. Furthermore, an unidentified man appears beside Jae-o, who is slumped on the roadside in the middle of the night, amplifying the sense of danger. Who is pursuing Jae-o, and why? Is it connected to his 'boss,' Baek A-jin?

Episodes 7 and 8, releasing today (20th), will see dating rumors between top star Baek A-jin and Heo In-gaap swirling, further complicating the relationships and emotions of those around them. Even knowing A-jin's intentions to use him, Jun-seo and Jae-o watch over her precariously. The question remains: how far will Baek A-jin's unyielding ambition take her?

Episodes 7 and 8 of 'Dear X' will be available on TVING today (20th) at 6 PM KST.
