• LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha takes heat from netizens for “Suzy-riding” cover of miss A's hit at fan meet

    LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha has been making waves with her cover of miss A's iconic 'Bad Girl Good Girl'.

    The performance took place at LE SSERAFIM's fan meeting, 'FEARNADA 2024 S/S', held on May 11th and 12th at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Seoul.

    Since her debut, Kazuha has been turning heads with her striking resemblance to miss A's Suzy. Their similar features even landed them second place in Mnet's 'TMI NEWS SHOW' celebrity look-alike ranking.

    Kazuha's resemblance to Suzy has also helped her snag a modeling gig for a beauty brand that Suzy has previously worked with.

    Fans were excited to see Kazuha take on a miss A cover stage at the fan meeting. Despite the pressure, Kazuha wowed fans with a flawless dance performance of 'Bad Girl Good Girl'.

    However, not everyone was thrilled. Some of Suzy's fans expressed their discomfort, saying things like "It's too much to keep comparing her to Suzy", and "Suzy is still active, it's frustrating to constantly hear comparisons". They've even coined the term "Suzy-riding" to express their displeasure.

    In response, some netizens sympathized with Suzy's fans, saying "It's understandable that Suzy's fans are upset", and "It's fine to say they look alike, but it's not right to keep using Suzy's image after debut".

    On the flip side, there are those who are defending Kazuha. They argue that "There's been a lot of talk about their resemblance, but it seems like Kazuha is being criticized for all sorts of things due to recent negative public opinion", and "It's just a stage prepared for fans, I wish they would just appreciate Kazuha's charm instead of comparing her to others".

    Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM is set to continue their fan meetings in four regions of Japan - Hyogo, Aichi, Kanagawa, and Fukuoka in June.

  • 'Resident Playbook' hits its highest ratings yet — is it Go Youn Jung’s magic or the 'Hospital Playlist' cameos that fans love?

    tvN’s weekend drama “Resident Playbook” is getting more and more love each week — and its latest episode just broke the 5% ratings mark!

    On April 20, episode 4 of Resident Playbook recorded 5.8% average viewership in Seoul (with a peak of 6.5%) and 5.1% nationwide (with a peak of 5.7%), according to Nielsen Korea. This made the show No.1 in its time slot across all cable and general programming channels, including public broadcasters.

    Among tvN’s main target audience — men and women aged 20 to 49 — it also scored high with 2.9% average and 3.3% peak nationwide, showing strong support from younger viewers.

    Fans are now asking: is this the “Go Youn Jung effect” at play, or are viewers tuning in for the emotional storytelling and cameos from Hospital Playlist characters?

    In the latest episode, the rookie residents — Oh Yi Young (Go Youn Jung), Kim Sa Bi (Han Ye Ji), Pyo Nam Kyung (Shin Si Ah), and Eom Jae Il (Kang Yoo Seok) — continued growing closer as teammates and friends. Their emotional ups and downs, along with heartfelt moments between characters, touched the hearts of many.

    One major moment was when Yi Young, dealing with a difficult case, bravely asked Kim Sa Bi for help despite earlier tension between them. The two ended up working together and comforting each other — and viewers were moved to tears.

    Another scene that drew attention was the cameo by Kim Jun Wan (Jung Kyung Ho) from Hospital Playlist, who joined the medical team for a rare case. His appearance brought back nostalgia and added even more depth to the story.

    Fans are loving the mix of emotional healing, growing friendships, and realistic hospital life, calling the show a warm follow-up to the Hospital Playlist universe.

    With ratings rising and buzz building, many are wondering just how high Resident Playbook will climb. New episodes air every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST on tvN.
