G-Dragon just had a funny moment with technology—and fans are loving it.

On April 8, the BIGBANG star shared a short video on his Instagram Story where he was seen trying to pass through a facial recognition gate. But things didn’t go as planned.

In the video, G-Dragon stood in front of the scanner, and it started doing its job. But as soon as it captured his full upper body, the machine told him, “Please look straight ahead.”

He adjusted his hair and repeated, “Straight ahead…”—but the machine didn’t accept it and showed “Recognition failed.”

Surprised, G-Dragon said, “Huh? I didn’t even do anything!” The machine tried again and gave him the same instruction: “Please look straight ahead.”

Even though G-Dragon looked directly at the camera and playfully said, “Straight ahead~”, he couldn’t stop moving or making expressions. So the machine repeated the message three times before completely failing to recognize him.

After a brief pause, G-Dragon let out a soft “Ugh…” and was finally allowed through. The short clip made fans laugh, with many saying the machine probably got too shy meeting the fashion king himself.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon is getting ready for his much-anticipated Asia tour! It starts on May 10–11 in Tokyo, Japan.

From there, he’ll head to Bulacan in the Philippines, Osaka in Japan, Macau, Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Jakarta in Indonesia, and Hong Kong—making stops in 8 cities across 7 countries.

Fans are excited to see him back on stage, but this little moment just reminded everyone why they love his fun personality even more!

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
