The possibility that the Netflix series 'All Of Us Are Dead' will run for a long time is slowly increasing.

According to Flix Patrol, a global online video service (OTT) ranking site on February 1, 'All Of Us Are Dead' took first place in the world's Netflix TV show category the day before.

It ranked first in a total of 46 countries, including Korea and Japan, France, and Germany. This means that the number of countries that took the top position on January 30, increased by two.

''All Of Us Are Dead' topped the charts in 25 countries on January 29, just one day after its release on January 28.

On January 30, it took first place in 44 countries, half of 88 countries.

In particular, in the United States, which is a popular indicator of Netflix, it ranked third for two days in a row and then climbed to second place.

With this momentum, it is expected that it will soon rise to the top spot in the United States as well.

This drama tells the story of students who are isolated and waiting for rescue in a school where a zombie virus started, fighting to survive. It is based on a webtoon of the same name.

Not only students, but also police, firefighters, soldiers, politicians, and other diverse groups of people who face the situation outside of school were shown.

Following the Netflix drama 'Kingdom' series (2019-2020), it is being evaluated as having opened a new chapter in 'K-Zombie'.

It is expected to continue the K-drama craze in the world following 'Squid Game' and 'Hell' as it sprints to No. 1 in the world for the third day.

It was well-received overseas as well. The British Guardian on January 29 said, "Korea's zombie show will surprise you." "Now, our school is a dark existentialist work that is sweeping the world. Although it is not easy to repeat such a huge success as the squid game, Anyone who has seen the movie 'Train to Busan' will know that Korea is the best in the world for telling zombie stories."

Variety, an American film media, said, "Like the squid game, we made the most of the nightmare-like spatial background."

As of January 31, the US movie information site IMDB had a rating of 7.7 out of 10.

In particular, on Rotten Tomatoes, an American critic site, it is getting a good response with a freshness index of 100%.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
