• Entertainment Industry Officials Reveals It Was Song Ji Hyo's Own Choice To Cut Her Hair

    After actress Song Ji-hyo transformed into a 'short haircut', fans complained about it, and her staff is being cursed. When the staff was unfairly criticized, Song Ji-hyo's aides opened their mouths to counter it.

    According to AtStyle on November 30th, several celebrities in the entertainment industry testified that "Song Ji Hyo changed her style at her own will."

    An entertainment program official explained, "This short haircut is a style that Song Ji Hyo tried to change".

    Another broadcast official said, "She wanted this latest short hairstyle to give a change in her style. If she didn't like her hairstyle, then she would not have posted on her social media as well."

    Another entertainment official added, "With her years of experience as an actress, staff members or hairstylists can't tell her to do this and that. She would have gotten that hairstyle of her own will."

    In the SBS entertainment program 'Running Man', which was broadcast on November 28th, Song Ji Hyo, who took on a short haircut for the first time after her debut, was drawn.

    Contrary to expectations that Song Ji Hyo had her hair cut for reasons of work and pictorials, fans expressed dissatisfaction when it became known that she was trying to change her style.

    Through an online community, fans even released a statement titled 'I urge Song Ji Hyo's styling to be improved', even pinching Song Ji Hyo's makeup and outfit.

    They said that the complaints and problems with Actress Song Ji Hyo's styling have been discussed since the past, and they can't stand still.

    Meanwhile, fans recently urged Song Ji Hyo to style her with a hair tone that suits her, and requested that she be replaced by a competent stylist.

    As the fans say, netizens also responded negatively, saying, "Did you eat rats?", "Isn't your outfit anti-fashionable?", "Long hair is much better," and "I thought it was a wig."

    However, it seems that all of this is due to misunderstanding as a result of Song Ji Hyo's choice.

  • 'Weak Hero 2' takes over Netflix and sends webtoon sales skyrocketing 20 times

    The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

    According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

    That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

    This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

    With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

    The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

    It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

    After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

    The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

    When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

    Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
