• Kim Se Jeong Confesses She Once Left A Comment About The "Double Eyelids Rumor" About Her

    Kim Se Jeong went to "Turkeys on the Block" and said that she had left a comment in the past about the "double eyelids rumor" about her.

    On July 22, Studio Waffle's YouTube channel posted a video called "Kim Se Jeong was so sick of her life that she came out of webtoon Turkeys on the Block EP.5"

    On this particular day, Lee Yong Jin asked, "When you were on 'K-pop Star', you wanted to clear up the rumor about your double eyelids, so you made up a story and posted it online. What's is this all about?".

    Kim Se Jeong said, "I was a kid when I was on 'K-pop Star' I saw some comments that said I'm pretty but that I should have waited until the swelling went down. But they were the eyes I was born with ".

    She made everyone laugh by saying, "When I still had baby fat. I was angry, but I figured that even if I denied it, no one would believe me. I said, 'I'm her friend…' I said I'd known her since childhood and that she'd never had plastic surgery".

    Kim Se Jeong said with laughter, "I got caught. At the time, the comments suggested that it might be a fake. Then I felt so bad, so I told them it was a fake".

  • '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.
