ENA’s drama “IDOL I” has released new stills ahead of its upcoming episode, hinting at a major emotional shift between the two leads. The series blends mystery, courtroom drama, and romance, starring Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung as star lawyer Maeng Se Na and Kim Jae Yeong as idol Do Ra Ik, who becomes the prime suspect in a murder case.
In previous episodes, Maeng Se Na and Do Ra Ik found comfort in one another during moments of vulnerability. Se Na expressed the faith of countless fans who believed in Do Ra Ik, while Do Ra Ik returned her support through music, allowing their relationship to grow closer and more emotionally intimate.
However, as trust deepened, the burden of Se Na’s hidden truth also grew heavier. When her long-concealed identity as Do Ra Ik’s devoted fan was revealed, the dynamics between them shifted noticeably. Newly released stills show Do Ra Ik leaving the courthouse alone, while Se Na desperately tries to stop him, her distress evident as he turns away with a cold expression.
Additional images depict Do Ra Ik watching Se Na from afar, his conflicted gaze suggesting inner turmoil. Se Na is later seen visiting the piano forest, a place filled with shared memories, where she plays the piano alone. Do Ra Ik’s distant yet sorrowful look as he observes her performance underscores the growing emotional gap between them.
The production team shared that episode 7, airing on January 12, will mark a new phase in the relationship between Maeng Se Na and Do Ra Ik following the exposure of her secret. As the two confront emotions that become clearer through distance, another shocking incident is set to unfold, heightening anticipation for the story’s next development.
