Singer Heize will inherit Shin Ye Eun's baton. 

It was announced on the 25th that Heize was selected as the new DJ for KBS Cool FM Radio 'Turn up the volume'.

On this day, Star Today reported that Heize will replace actress Shin Ye Eun through an exclusive report. According to the media, Heize's input period is from mid-August.

Shin Ye Eun, who has been active as a DJ since November of last year, is reported to be leaving 'Turn Up the Volume' for the last time on the 31st of this month.

It is expected that a special DJ will be in charge of the program for two weeks after Shin Ye Eun leaves.

'Diary', which first started in 2020, was popularly broadcast after seasons 1-3.

Heize debuted in the music industry in 2014, boasting a dreamy and unique tone. The following year, she appeared on Mnet's 'Unpretty Rap Star 2' and showed off her rapping skills.

She released songs such as 'Wander a little more', 'And July', 'That Star', 'I don't know you too much', 'It's raining', 'That's why', and 'Happy coincidence'.

In 2020, she moved to P NATION, an agency run by singer PSY (Park Jae-sang).

On June 30th of last month, the 2nd regular album 'Undo' was released, and all 10 songs in the album entered the top of the online music charts, receiving congratulations from fans.

As of the morning of July 1st, the day after the album's release, the title song 'As Nothing Happened' topped the real-time charts such as Genie and Bugs.

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.
