On April 10, 2025, Top Star News reported that SBS postponed its upcoming romantic comedy, Human from Today, starring Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon, to 2026. The series, initially scheduled for a 2025 release, has been delayed due to unforeseen production challenges.
Human from Today offers an interesting take on the traditional gumiho (nine-tailed fox) legend. The story follows Eun Ho, portrayed by Kim Hye-yoon, who is an unconventional gumiho enjoying her eternal youth and beauty. Eun Ho tries to refrain from performing any good deeds and avoids romantic relationships with humans to prevent becoming human herself.
After meticulously planning her life, everything changes when she meets Kang Si-yeol (played by Lomon), a world-renowned soccer player. Kang Si-yeol is known as the ultimate narcissist, focused solely on being the best player and surpassing everyone else. His greatest fear is losing the muscles and physique he has built over the years.
