• BTS Jin's "Run, Seokjin" Goes Viral Globally, Fans Say "I Want to Marry Kim Seokjin" as His Heartwarming Moments With Kids Takes Over YouTube

    BTS’s Jin is making waves worldwide with his first-ever self-produced content, Run, Seokjin, and fans can’t get enough of it!

    On December 10, BTS dropped a special Run, Seokjin video titled “Only those who want to marry Kim Seokjin, please watch” on their official YouTube and Weverse channels. And, as expected, it quickly gained huge popularity.

    In this heartwarming video, Jin, who was a bit nervous about going on his first blind date, meets a young child named Taehwa, born in 2021. At first, Jin was a little flustered, but his charming and playful personality soon won over Taehwa, making him laugh. Jin showed his caring side when he took Taehwa to a kids’ cafe, making sure to fasten the safety belt in the child’s car seat and sing the frog song, one of Taehwa's favorites.

    Once they arrived at the cafe, Jin continued to be the thoughtful and loving figure, helping Taehwa down the stairs carefully and even cleaning up the sand that had spilled from the child’s clothes. Their sweet interactions were full of healing moments, bringing smiles to viewers.

    Jin and Taehwa also got busy in the kitchen, making mini kimbap and pizza. As Taehwa carefully rolled the kimbap, Jin gently helped hold it in place without Taehwa noticing, showcasing his thoughtful nature. The duo spent a fun and joyful time together, and Jin even gifted Taehwa a toy car and heavy machinery, which the little one loved. After Taehwa left, more children joined Jin for more fun activities, making the video even more heartwarming.

    Run, Seokjin quickly climbed the YouTube charts, ranking No. 2 on Korea's Top Trending Videos and No. 2 worldwide in Music Videos on December 11. It also ranked No. 10 globally in YouTube’s Trending Videos, proving that Jin’s charm knows no boundaries.

    The success of Run, Seokjin continued into December 12, when it again ranked No. 2 in Korea and worldwide, maintaining its top spots in both Music Videos and Global Trending Videos. Fans are already eagerly anticipating next week's episode, where Jin will have a fun experience with broadcaster Jonathan at a UFC event.

    Meanwhile, Jin’s solo debut album Happy, released on November 15, has also taken over global charts, setting new records. It marked the third-highest sales debut for a K-pop solo artist on Japan's Oricon chart, solidifying Jin’s immense popularity and breaking records across the globe.

  • 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.
