• BTS’s Jin surprises fans by dressing as an alien on stage and RM secretly watches from the crowd at Coldplay’s final Korea concert

    BTS’s Jin made a fun and unforgettable surprise appearance at Coldplay’s final concert in Korea—this time dressed as an alien!

    On April 25 at the Goyang Sports Complex, Coldplay held their last show in Korea as part of their "Music of the Spheres" world tour. Fans were thrilled when Jin walked on stage wearing an alien mask and even pulled off a quick outfit change right in front of the crowd, making fans laugh and cheer.

    Jin performed “The Astronaut”—his special collab song with Coldplay—for the second time during their Korea stop, and also joined them for “My Universe.” The audience went wild not just for Jin, but also when they spotted BTS leader RM quietly supporting his member from the crowd, showing off their strong friendship.

    This concert wasn’t just about Coldplay—it became a huge gathering of K-pop stars. TWICE appeared as the main guest for the Seoul shows, Jin performed on the 19th and again on the 25th, and BLACKPINK’s Rosé surprised fans on the 22nd. Even Coldplay’s Chris Martin made fans smile by acting out the viral sun meme, and G-Dragon was seen in the audience too!

    Now that Jin has completed his military service, fans are excited for what’s next. He’s already gaining attention through the hit Netflix show “Physical: 100 – Underground”, and he's expected to start his solo activities soon. J-Hope, who’s also completed his service, is currently traveling to meet fans around the world.

    Meanwhile, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are still serving in the military, and SUGA is fulfilling his social service duty. All members of BTS are expected to finish their service by June, and fans are already counting down the days until the full group is back together again.

    The concert also saw many stars in attendance like Gong Hyo Jin, Ryeo Won, Jung Hae In, and Code Kunst, proving once again that Coldplay’s show was a star-studded event from start to finish.

  • '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.
