• "Wonderland" Sees Sharp Drop in Viewership as "Inside Out 2" Leads Reservation Charts

    Despite its initial success, "Wonderland" is facing a rapid decline in viewership, with daily attendance dropping to around 20,000.

    The film, directed by Kim Tae-yong, managed to hold the top spot at the box office for the sixth day, but its position is expected to be taken over soon by the Disney-Pixar sequel "Inside Out 2," hitting theaters on the 12th.

    On the 10th, "Wonderland" drew in 22,651 viewers, maintaining its top spot with a total of 491,452 viewers since its release.

    The movie revolves around reuniting with loved ones through an AI service called "Wonderland," boasting a star-studded cast including Tang Wei, Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Jung Yu Mi, Choi Woo Shik, and a special appearance by Gong Yoo. However, despite the hype, it's struggling to keep up at the box office.

    After a strong opening weekend with 200,000 attendees, weekday showings have seen a significant drop.

    Reservation rates are also on a downward trend for "Wonderland," currently sitting at fourth place. "Inside Out 2" leads the charts with a staggering 185,655 reservations and a 57.1% reservation rate just before its release. Following closely behind are "Drive" starring Park Ji-hyun and "Escape" with Lee Je-hoon and Koo Kyo-hwan, both set for July releases.

    At the box office, "Furiosa: Mad Max Saga" took second place on the 10th with 16,450 viewers, accumulating a total of 1,435,078 viewers.

    "She Dies Tomorrow," starring Byun Yo-han and Shin Hye-sun, secured third place with 13,000 viewers on the same day, reaching a cumulative audience of 1,144,394 thanks to strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
