• Lee Yo Won Opens Up about Her Secret Wedding and Why She Married Her "handsome" Husband

    Actress Lee Yo Won recently opened up about her private wedding to her non-celebrity husband, revealing some surprising details about their love story.

    On April 8, Lee Yo Won made an appearance on the SBS variety show "The Divorcee Men" and shared insights about her return to acting in the movie "Ghosts."

    During the episode, she also talked about her husband, a businessman six years older than her, and their decision to marry when she was just 23 years old.

    Lee Yo Won couldn’t help but gush about her husband, saying, “I don’t usually notice men’s faces, but my husband is handsome.”

    She also revealed that her husband had a unique way of confessing his love to her, saying, “I don’t have any female friends or sisters, if we’re not close, I want to end it.”

    His words made her realize he valued family over ambition, which led her to make the decision to marry him.

    But the most shocking part of her story was her secret wedding. Lee Yo Won revealed that she had the first-ever celebrity-only secret wedding, surprising everyone.

    Even though the wedding was kept private, she explained that the intense media interest led her to have a brief photo session afterward. She chose to keep the wedding private to respect her husband's wish for privacy, especially since secret weddings were very rare at that time.

    Fans were touched by Lee Yo Won’s honesty and the deep love she shares with her husband.

    Meanwhile, SBS's "The Divorcee Men" continues to capture viewers’ attention as divorced men share their stories and advice on love and relationships. The show airs every Tuesday at 9 PM.

  • 'Weak Hero 2' takes over Netflix and sends webtoon sales skyrocketing 20 times

    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.
