• Super Junior's Shindong Shows Off His Jaw-Dropping 30 Billion Won Apartment — You Won't Believe Who Owned it Before Him

    Super Junior's Shindong just gave fans a peek inside his new, luxurious home, and it’s everything we imagined!

    On April 3, Shindong posted a video titled “Since I moved, should I have a housewarming party?” on his 'Shindong Daengdong' YouTube channel, sharing exciting updates about his recent move.

    The star revealed he now lives in a luxury apartment with a breathtaking view of the Han River. Shindong proudly showed off the wide-open view, saying, “I always show this view to people who come over. You can see the Han River and the Lotte Tower in Jamsil. It’s amazing. There are even fireworks on January 1st, but I was in Taiwan and missed it. I’ll definitely watch it next year!” The location also makes it super convenient, with easy access to the Olympic Highway and Cheongdam Bridge, making it easy to get to places like Bundang.

    As for the details inside his new place, Shindong couldn’t help but show off his new expensive items. “The thing I brag about the most is our TV. It's a very expensive 97-inch OLED TV,” he explained.

    The TV alone costs a whopping 35 million won! He also shared how he updated other appliances like the induction cooktop, microwave oven, fridge, and dishwasher. “The best thing I replaced was the sink. I got it from Instagram. And I use a food waste disposer that works great,” he added.

    But wait, it gets even better! Shindong showed off some unique features, like a super cool fridge that makes cubed, crushed, craft ice, and even mini cubes! “It’s amazing! I almost never need to buy ice,” he said.

    The fridge is so high-tech, it even makes filtered water. And for all the coffee lovers, there’s a built-in coffee machine—although he joked, “I’ve never used it!”

    Shindong also shared a funny story about his new home’s previous owner—TVXQ’s Changmin! He revealed, “Is this house Changmin’s? I told Changmin I bought this house. Let me show you the wardrobe. Changmin did a great job on the interior, so I didn’t change much.”

    Changmin originally bought the apartment in 2014 for 1.48 billion won in cash, and now it’s worth around 3 billion won!

    In addition to his stunning living room, Shindong gave fans a look at his computer room, storage, and master bedroom.

    The master bedroom has a special Tempur moving bed, “When you press it, it rises, so it's great for watching TV,” he explained. And his projector setup? It cost him about 400 million won!

    It looks like Shindong is living the high life in his new home—thank you, Changmin, for the awesome space.

  • '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.
