• Baby V.O.X Reunion Plans Delayed, Kan Mi Yeon Reveals Why the Group’s Comeback is on Hold

    Fans hoping for a Baby V.O.X reunion might have to wait a little longer! Kan Mi Yeon recently shared an update on the legendary first-generation K-pop girl group’s plans, and it turns out there’s an unexpected reason behind the delay.

    On the March 8 episode of tvN’s Amazing Saturday, Baby V.O.X members Lee Hee Jin, Kan Mi Yeon, and Yoon Eun Hye made a special appearance, bringing back memories for longtime fans.

    The trio, known as pioneers of the Hallyu wave, received a warm welcome as they confidently stepped onto the show.

    During their introduction, Boom introduced Lee Hee Jin as the group’s lead vocalist. However, she quickly corrected him, saying, “I’m not the main vocalist; I’m a sub-vocalist.” Kan Mi Yeon then playfully stepped in, adding, “I’m the main vocalist.”

    Meanwhile, Yoon Eun Hye introduced herself by joking, “Even in my 40s, I’m still the youngest.” Shin Dong Yup couldn’t help but tease her, saying, “You’ll be the youngest until you die.”

    When asked about Baby V.O.X’s future plans, Kan Mi Yeon revealed a surprising reason why their reunion is currently on hold. She shared, “Our ‘number three’ unnie is preparing for IVF treatment,” referring to fellow member Shim Eun Jin.

    As the cast looked confused, Yoon Eun Hye explained, “We call each other by our birth order—1, 2, and 3.”

    Kan Mi Yeon then reassured fans that although concert activities are paused for now, the group is still working on something special. “To give back to our fans, we’ve re-recorded some of our beloved songs,” she revealed. She also announced that Baby V.O.X will be dropping a new song along with a re-recorded version of Missing You on March 12!

    Even though a full-fledged reunion might not be happening just yet, fans can still look forward to new music from the iconic girl group. Are you excited for Baby V.O.X’s upcoming release?

  • Yook Sung Jae and Bona’s new drama ‘The Haunted Palace’ dominates Netflix charts and beats all SBS shows with double-digit ratings from the start

    SBS's new fantasy historical drama The Haunted Palace is already making waves both in South Korea and around the world.

    Starring Yook Sung Jae and Bona, the show exploded in popularity during its very first week — topping Netflix charts in multiple countries and hitting double-digit TV ratings straight out of the gate.

    On Korean television, The Haunted Palace shocked viewers with a strong start. Episode 1 pulled in a peak nationwide rating of 10.7%, instantly breaking the double-digit barrier.

    The Seoul area rating and the national average were both 9.2%, making it the highest-rated premiere of any SBS drama in 2025 so far.

    It also beat out other SBS dramas like Love Scout and Buried Hearts, and even took the #1 spot among all mini-series aired that week, showing that this drama isn’t just trending — it’s leading the pack. (According to Nielsen Korea)

    And the success didn’t stop on TV.

    As soon as The Haunted Palace dropped on Netflix, it jumped straight to #1 on “Today’s Top 10 TV Shows in South Korea”, proving its massive popularity on streaming platforms.

    Globally, it also ranked #1 in the TV series category in Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, showing that international fans are just as hooked.

    The drama is also doing incredibly well on South Korea’s own streaming trend charts. On KinoLights — a platform that tracks trends across all streaming services — The Haunted Palace ranked #1 overall, beating both films and dramas. (As of April 19)

    Fans are loving the unique story, which mixes fantasy, comedy, and creepy mystery. The drama follows Yeori, a shaman who denies her fate, and Kang Cheol I, a mythical Imoogi spirit trapped inside her first love’s body. Together, they face off against a terrifying ghost called Palcheok Gui — who has a dark grudge against the royal family.

    Episode 2 added even more excitement, with Kang Cheol I hilariously struggling to live like a normal human after 1,000 years.

    At the same time, Yeori starts hearing the voice of Yoon Gap’s spirit and tries to save him. By the end of the episode, it’s revealed that Prince Wonja (played by Park Jae Joon) is going mad due to Palcheok Gui — and that the ghost has already consumed Yoon Gap’s soul. The showdown between Kang Cheol I, Yeori, and the evil spirit is just getting started.

    With high ratings and top OTT rankings, The Haunted Palace is quickly becoming one of the biggest drama hits of the year.

    Episode 3 of The Haunted Palace airs on Friday, April 25 at 9:50 PM KST on SBS.
