• BTOB's Peniel to Drop Solo Single 'MIoBI (Make It or Break It)'

    BTOB's Peniel is ready to show off his hidden vocal skills with his new song. Peniel will release his digital single 'Story of My Life' on June 19 at 6 PM on various music sites, making a comeback for his global fans.

    This is Peniel's first solo release since 'Valentine' in 2021, about 3 years and 4 months ago. The new single features two tracks: the title track 'MIoBI (Make It or Break It)' and 'Come Home'.

    'MIoBI' is about a bright time in someone's life, thanks to a deep relationship from the past. The song mixes rock vibes with Peniel's refreshing vocals, showing a side of him not often seen as a rapper.

    'Come Home' is about a man's feelings after being betrayed by his partner. It talks about wanting the partner to come back, but also not wanting to be hurt again, using 'home' as a metaphor.

    Peniel, who often writes and produces for BTOB, has also written and composed for this release, adding his unique touch.

    Fans are excited to see how he will win their hearts with his new songs and style, showing a different side from his rapper image.

    On June 18, a day before the release, a reaction video featuring BTOB members was posted on their official YouTube channel at 6 PM. Lee Minhyuk called 'MIoBI' "a refreshing song perfect for summer, making you want to run to the beach."

    Seo Eunkwang said, "Peniel's style is very distinct, and the music is so good that it could be a BTOB song."

    Lim Hyunsik added, "It's rare to find such great songs right from the start, and if I heard it while walking, I'd wonder, 'What's this song?'"

    A live broadcast to celebrate the new release will also be held on BTOB's official YouTube channel at 7 PM on the same day. In this live session, Peniel will talk about his solo release and share stories while chatting with fans worldwide, adding to the excitement.

    Peniel's new song 'MIoBI' will be out at 6 PM on June 19 on various music sites.

  • Will 'When the Stars Gossip' Recover From Its Shocking 2% Ratings? 500-Billion KRW Drama Struggles to Gain Viewership

    When the Stars Gossip is facing a tough battle as its ratings continue to decline, leaving many to wonder if it can recover.

    Despite its massive 500 billion KRW budget and a year-long production process, the drama’s viewership has been steadily dropping since its premiere.

    The first two episodes of the show had relatively modest ratings, with 3.3% for episode one and 3.9% for episode two.

    However, the third episode, which aired on January 11th, saw a sharp drop to just 2.2%, according to Nielsen Korea.

    At this rate, the drama is on the verge of falling below 1% in viewership, which would be a serious blow for the production.

    The drama’s star-studded cast, featuring Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Min Ho, hasn’t been enough to stop the slide in ratings.

    As the show tries to maintain its momentum, the question remains: Can When the Stars Gossip bounce back, or will its viewership continue to sink?

    With such a big budget and high expectations, viewers are still holding out hope for a recovery, but the drama’s future is uncertain unless ratings start climbing.
