Actors Yoo Yeon Seok and Esom are officially set to headline the new SBS drama, “Shin Yi Rang’s Law Firm” (literal translation).
This project promises a unique and imaginative twist on the conventional legal drama by incorporating strong supernatural elements, following two attorneys who solve cases for a very particular clientele: ghosts.
The series is described as a quirky yet warm adventure that uses the law to resolve the lingering grievances of highly unusual clients.
The Haunted Attorney: Shin Yi Rang
Yoo Yeon Seok will take on the lead role of Shin Yi Rang, the eponymous attorney. His character’s life takes an unexpected turn after he opens his law office in a building that was once used by a shaman, causing him to gain the ability to see ghosts.
While he may appear reliable and put-together on the surface, he is actually quite timid and a bit clumsy.
However, his sense of determination becomes unwavering when he takes on a ghost client with a tragic, unresolved story.
Shin Yi Rang’s character has a particularly intriguing narrative hook: a “possession phenomenon.”
In this quirk of fate, the unique traits, memories, and even abilities of his ghost clients temporarily seep into his body.
This results in unpredictable changes, transforming his personality and demeanor, regardless of the client’s age or gender.
This “possession advocacy” allows him to experience the deceased clients’ perspectives firsthand, becoming a crucial tool for uncovering clues at the heart of each case.

The Ace with a Cold Exterior: Han Na Hyun
Esom is cast as Han Na Hyun, an elite attorney who operates in a completely different realm of the legal world. She is an ace at a major law firm and boasts an enviable 100 percent win rate.
For Han Na Hyun, winning is the sole measure of success, fueling a cold, relentless, and highly logical work style that has placed her at the very top of the industry.
Her path initially puts her on a collision course with Shin Yi Rang, whom she completely dismisses for claiming he can see ghosts.
Her cold exterior and focus on tangible legal success clash directly with his supernatural advocacy.
However, the story will chart her transformation as she experiences an unexpected loss at Shin Yi Rang’s hands, forcing her to confront his sincerity and the strange events unfolding before her eyes.
The narrative promises to gradually reveal the emotional wounds hidden behind her cool professionalism, allowing her to regain layers of warmth and empathy.
The Exhilarating Chemistry of Logic and the Occult
The central appeal of “Shin Yi Rang’s Law Firm” lies in the exhilarating teamwork and chemistry between these two fundamentally different attorneys.
Their unique strengths create a powerful and innovative method for seeking justice:
- Shin Yi Rang’s Role: He uses his possession ability to hear the ghost clients directly, absorbing their memories and emotions to uncover vital, often hidden, clues.
- Han Na Hyun’s Role: She applies her sharp judgment, logical reasoning, and expertise in law to interpret and fit those supernatural clues into a viable legal framework.
The production team emphasized this unique dynamic, calling it an “unexpected three-way collaboration” between the possession-enabled Shin Yi Rang, the sharp-minded Han Na Hyun, and the individual ghost clients, each carrying their own complex stories.
They praised Yoo Yeon Seok and Esom as the “perfect actors to bring this to life 200 percent,” predicting that the drama will open a “new chapter of divinely entertaining storytelling” for SBS’s courtroom drama lineup.
“Shin Yi Rang’s Law Firm” is scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2026, promising a refreshing blend of laughter, thrill, and heartfelt moments as the two attorneys, once on opposite sides, join forces to pursue the truth for those who can no longer speak for themselves.
TAEMIN of SHINee, one of K-pop’s most iconic and influential solo artists, has once again demonstrated his explosive global ticket power by completely selling out his upcoming Las Vegas concert in an astonishingly short time.
The concert, ‘TAEMIN Live [VEIL] in Las Vegas,’ scheduled for January 16, 2026 (local time) at the prestigious Dolby Live at Park MGM venue, saw all tickets purchased within just 10 minutes of the general sale opening.
This rapid sellout confirms his enduring influence and immense popularity in the highly competitive North American market, solidifying his status as a formidable solo force.
Unprecedented Demand and Ticketing Rush
The general ticketing sale, which commenced at 3 AM KST on November 25th, 2025, witnessed an immediate and overwhelming response from fans, often referred to as Shawols.
The demand was so intense that more than 200,000 people simultaneously attempted to connect to the ticketing system, resulting in substantial queue times—in some cases, nearly an hour—just for a chance to access the sale page.
The tickets were completely snapped up just ten minutes after the box office officially opened, showcasing the devoted and massive fanbase Taemin commands across the globe.
The immense ticket power demonstrated in Las Vegas is a pattern for the veteran idol. Just last year, Taemin’s first solo world tour, ‘Ephemeral Gaze,’ proved to be an equal success in the United States.

During that tour, he sold out all five scheduled shows across major cities, including New York, Chicago, Houston, Oakland, and Los Angeles, leading to the necessity of adding supplementary seats to meet the soaring fan demand.
This consistent record of rapid sellouts underscores the fervent loyalty and widespread recognition of his artistry in North America.
The Significance of the Iconic Venue
The upcoming ‘VEIL’ concert holds particular prestige due to its location at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
This state-of-the-art venue is celebrated for hosting performances by global music legends such as Bruno Mars, Mariah Carey, and Maroon 5.
The venue is also equipped with the advanced Dolby Atmos sound system, a technological feature that is expected to perfectly complement Taemin’s signature performance style.
Known for his exceptional live vocals, intricate choreography, and artistic maturity, the sophisticated acoustics of Dolby Live are anticipated to elevate his stage production to an entirely new and immersive level for the audience.
This strong U.S. response follows Taemin’s highly successful promotional activities earlier in the year. His performance of the track “Veil”—which achieved a notable No. 3 ranking on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart—on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ on November 22nd (KST) significantly boosted his visibility and critical acclaim within the American media landscape, further fueling demand for his live appearance.
A Focus on Global Stages in 2026
The Las Vegas concert in January is only one piece of Taemin’s ambitious global schedule for early 2026, solidifying his focus on international performance.
Following his stop in Nevada, Taemin is confirmed to perform at the renowned 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April.
He stands out on the lineup as the only K-pop male solo artist scheduled for the festival, a powerful testament to his unique artistry and stage command.
His inclusion in such a globally recognized festival is expected to deliver a powerful, distinctive performance that will undoubtedly draw massive international attention.
Before heading to the US, Taemin will also be concluding his domestic and regional activities, including the finale of his ‘2025 TAEMIN ARENA TOUR’ in Hyogo, Japan, set for December 24th and 25th.
This carefully curated sequence of appearances across Japan, the U.S. arena circuit, and a major U.S. music festival confirms Taemin’s unparalleled dedication to his solo career and his status as a truly global icon of K-pop performance.
