• "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" Actress Joo Hyun Young Reveals Her Ideal Type By Name, And It Isn’t Kang Tae Oh

    Actor Joo Hyun Young said that Joo Jong Hyuk is closer to her ideal type than Kang Tae Oh.

    Joo Hyun Young appeared as a guest at the cine invitation seat of SBS Power FM's 'Park Ha-sun's Cine Town' broadcast on July 20th.

    On this day, Joo Hyun Young mentioned the popular ENA 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' that was airing.

    Joo Hyun Young is in the middle of disassembling the role of Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin)'s best friend, Won Won.

    In the previous broadcast, Woo Young Woo said, "Find a handsome person," and the image of Won Won looking for Kwon Min Woo (Joo Jong Hyuk) rather than Lee Jun Ho (Kang Tae Oh) was included.

    DJ Park Ha-sun mentioned the scene and asked, "Actually, based on appearance alone, Hyun Young's ideal type is closer to Lee Jun Ho or Kwon Min Woo?"

    Then, Joo Hyun Young shouted, "Kwon Min Woo," and confessed, "Both have different charms, but I like the cuter one."

    She continued, "Junho has a slightly stronger feeling, and he feels like a popular guy who is popular with women.

    In fact, Joo Hyun Young also added that Joo Jong Hyuk has a cute personality.

    She said, "It's the complete opposite of Kwon Min Woo's personality (I chose Joo Jong Hyuk)".

    Meanwhile, 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', starring Joo Hyun Young, is broadcast every Wednesday and Thursday at 9 pm as a survival story of a new lawyer, Woo Young Woo, who has a genius brain and an autism spectrum at the same time.

  • '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.
