• G-Dragon Shocks Fans with Cryptic “I’m okay” Post after being Linked to Kim Soo Hyun’s Scandal — What’s Really Going On?

    G-Dragon has fans talking after a mysterious social media post—right after accidentally liking and then unliking a poll about Kim Soo Hyun’s controversy.

    On March 19, G-Dragon took to social media to post a short but cryptic message: "I'm okay."

    Along with the message, he shared a video of himself smiling and moving energetically to the beat, seemingly unbothered.

    However, the timing of the post has raised eyebrows, as it came just days after he was caught liking a poll about Kim Soo Hyun.

    On March 13, a Taiwanese entertainment account ran a poll asking if Kim Soo Hyun should step down from MBC’s Good Day following his dating minor allegations. The options included:
    "G-Dragon must be having a hard time."
    "He should leave the program."
    "He should retire from the entertainment industry."

    At first, G-Dragon liked the post, leading many to believe he was subtly distancing himself from Kim Soo Hyun. However, once people noticed and started talking, he quickly unliked it, sparking even more curiosity.

    Meanwhile, the team behind Good Day officially announced that they are editing out as much of Kim Soo Hyun’s scenes as possible.

    They stated, "We are taking the controversy seriously and considering viewer reactions in our production process."

    Kim Soo Hyun is currently under fire over allegations that he dated the late Kim Sae Ron for six years, starting in 2015 when she was only 15 years old.

    At first, his agency, Gold Medalist, denied the rumors. But later, they changed their statement, saying they only started dating after she became an adult.

    Despite this, netizens aren't convinced, especially as more allegations continue to surface. Meanwhile, Kim Sae Ron’s family has requested a digital forensic analysis on her phone to uncover the truth about her past relationship with Kim Soo Hyun.

    With G-Dragon’s cryptic message, fans are now wondering—was his post just a coincidence, or is there more to the story?

  • 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.
