• Cha Jun Hwan Surprised Everyone By Revealing That He Didn't Know How To Light Matches

    'Prince of Figure Skating' Cha Jun Hwan exuded a cute and sloppy charm.

    On the episode of MBC's 'It's Good If We Don't Fight' aired on July 25th, Ahn Jung Hwan, Kim Yo Han, Son Hee Chan, Hwang Dae Heon, and Cha Jun Hwan challenged 'Hold My Hand' (I hold my hand).

    On this day, Ahn Jung Hwan set rules such as prohibition of leaving without permission with the members, one training a day, prohibition of drinking and smoking, laughing even when it was hard, and not getting angry.

    Ahn Jung Hwan asked Cha Jun Hwan to nail a sign with the rules written on it.

    Cha Jun Hwan, who was hesitant because he had never nailed a nail, reassured his will by saying, “I will try nonetheless.”

    However, Cha Jun Hwan didn't do it well, and in the end, Kim Yo Han took the place of nailing.

    Afterwards, when he heard that Cha Jun Hwan couldn't cook, Ahn Jung Hwan asked, "What don't you eat at home?"

    Cha Jun Hwan surprised those who asked, "I haven't even turned on that gas stove yet."

    He explained that there is no need to cook rice out of the dormitory.

    After that, Cha Jun Hwan embarrassed Ahn Jung Hwan by continuously exuding the energy of Heo-dang, who did not know how to light materials and matches.

    Ahn Jung-hwan said to Cha Jun Hwan, "Just go. Don't come to the island again," causing laughter.

  • '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.
