• Netizens Express Their Discontent Over The "Happy Ending" Finale Of "Business Proposal"

    Why is the audience not satisfied with the ending of "Business Proposal"?

    After 12 stormy  episodes, "Business Proposal"  finally ended with a happy ending for the two main couples. Kang Tae Moo (Ahn Hyo Seop)  proposes to Ha Ri  (Kim Se Jeong)  after a year of long distance love.

    Young Seo  (Seol In Ah)  quit her job at her father's company, moved in with Sung Hoon  (Kim Min Kyu), and the two even established their own company. 

    Such a satisfying ending, but the audience is still not satisfied.

    The problem is because in the last episode, the main couple took a year apart, then met again and ended the love story with an unexpected and rather superficial marriage proposal.

    The audience longs for a fairy-tale wedding or at least there must be more eye-catching emotional scenes for this couple.

    The audience even made memes to send them to SBS

    Audience reaction after the last episode:

    • Episode 12 is too short and the ending is rushed? ㅜㅜ Please make it up to episode 16, get married, have a baby, and please do it.
    • It felt like an abrupt ending, so it was very disappointing ㅜㅜ
    • I don't know why it's only episode 12 ㅜㅜ I think we need to have an Season 2 ㅜㅜ Why are you making such a short drama?
    • I've been waiting for Monday and Tuesday with excitement, but it feels like it went by too quickly… I think it would have been better if it was a 16-episode series. The two of them were so lovely ㅜㅜ I hope to see them again in the next project
    • At the end of the day, It feels like the main couple was thrown out in the back room while solving an episode with the people around them!
    • As it was made into 12 episodes, the last episode unfolded too quickly and the ending felt like it was just a proposal ㅠㅠ The 16-episodes format is the rule of thumb.
    • It would have been better if there were 16 episodes.. Happy ending is good, but it's too bad and unsatisfying.
    • I think episode 12 is a bit short. I feel like something has ended abruptly. The existing 16 or at least 14 seems to be necessary.
    • Until episode 14?… No, it would have been great if there was only 1 extra episode. It's too sad to end with 12 episodes. It's a happy ending, but why do writers end up with such a hazy ending?
    • Drama special these days: "You don't have to watch the last episode. You'll get disappointed"
    • In the original story, I was looking forward to the scene where Tae Moo's Grandpa stepped forward and took the side of the sub-couple and said that he was my grandson…. Suddenly, it was a proposal-like ending, and the feeling of watching it was broken.
    • If it had been 16 episodes, it would have been a wedding scene for Tae Moo & Hari. It's a really good drama. It's good because there's no stuffy development. I was really happy watching this drama.. Next time, please do 16 episodes!

  • BTS's Jimin Makes History with 'Who', 20-Week Billboard Hot 100 Streak Breaks K-pop Records, First Since 'Gangnam Style'

    BTS's Jimin is breaking records and making history once again! His hit song "Who" has made an impressive 20-week streak on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, marking the longest run ever for a K-pop solo song.

    As of the latest Billboard charts (week of December 14, 2024), Jimin's "Who" moved up 9 spots to No. 47 on the Hot 100, achieving its 20th consecutive week on the chart. This is the first-ever K-pop solo song to stay in the Top 60 of the Billboard Hot 100 for 20 weeks without any additional releases or remixes, even during the busy Christmas season dominated by holiday songs!

    "Who" is now officially the first K-pop solo song to reach 20 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 since Psy's legendary "Gangnam Style." It's also the only K-pop song in 2024 to achieve this incredible milestone.

    Jimin’s solo album MUSE (featuring "Who") also made waves, jumping 43 spots on the Billboard 200, landing at No. 114. The album is now the only K-pop album in 2024 to stay on the Billboard 200 for 20 weeks. This is another massive win for Jimin's solo career, as he continues to break boundaries.

    But that’s not all! Jimin also rose 28 spots to No. 70 on the Billboard Artist 100, marking his 30th week on the chart. He made history as the first and only K-pop solo artist to top the Billboard Artist 100 chart, and now he’s continuing his streak!

    "Who" is also holding strong on the Streaming Songs chart, ranking at No. 35 for its 20th consecutive week, making it the second-longest K-pop solo streak on that chart, just behind Psy’s "Gangnam Style."

    Globally, "Who" has maintained its presence, staying in the Top 25 on both the Global 200 and Global (Excl. U.S.) charts for 20 weeks straight, securing spots at No. 24 and No. 23, respectively.

    On the Digital Song Sales chart, "Who" re-entered at No. 13, and MUSE landed at No. 5 on the World Albums chart, keeping its 20-week streak alive. Jimin’s first album FACE still holds the record for the longest-charting K-pop solo album at 63 weeks, but now MUSE is on its way to join the elite.

    And it doesn't stop there—Jimin’s "Who" has also made history in Japan, Canada, and the Philippines, charting for 20 consecutive weeks in each country, making it the first song by an Asian artist to achieve this feat in four different countries. In Canada, it's now the first and only K-pop solo song to ever achieve 20 weeks, following in the footsteps of "Gangnam Style."

    Jimin’s record-breaking achievements continue to prove that he is not only a global star but also a K-pop force to be reckoned with!
