• Suzy Shares Why Music Will Always Be Her First Love, Despite Acting, on "I Am a Singer"

    Actress and singer Suzy opened up about her deep passion for music, sharing her journey on KBS 2TV's I Am a Singer.

    In the December 7 episode of the music travel reality show, Suzy took viewers along on her busking adventure in Munich, showcasing her love for music beyond acting.

    Suzy was introduced with impressive titles like "Debuted in 2010 and became a K-pop icon," "Countless hit songs," and "Continued her music career as a solo artist," but she humbly shared, “I started this career because I really love music. I wanted to do this kind of music travel. It might be a little tight since I’m filming a drama right now, and it might be a bit of a burden."

    She added, "I really wanted to go, but I initially turned it down, then thought again that I really wanted to participate. I was so eager to take part in this.” Her genuine excitement for the show showed how much she values music.

    Now celebrating 15 years since her debut, Suzy reflected on the passage of time, saying, “Time keeps passing. At some point, it’s not about trying to let people know anymore, but I’ve been trying to release albums at times when I’m comfortable. That’s why it took longer.” She admitted that continuing her music career hasn't always been easy.

    Suzy also shared her approach to music, revealing, “When I like an artist, it’s not like I specifically follow one person. I tend to like songs that I hear by chance or come across. I think I want to be someone like that as well.” She expressed her desire to make music that resonates with others, just like the songs she discovers on her own.

    She also expressed pride in her music, saying, “Sometimes when someone tells me they like a song of mine that nobody knows, it feels really rewarding. I love it when people appreciate those songs.”

    Suzy’s unique voice filled the I Am a Singer stage, leaving fans excited to see more of her musical talents unfold in the future.

    I Am a Singer is a music variety program where top K-pop artists travel to different countries to explore local music and culture while discovering what it truly means to be a "singer."

  • 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.
