    After years of joking, hoping, and confessing his love on TV, Park Myung Soo has finally reunited with G-Dragon — and fans are loving it!

    On May 10, Park Myung Soo took to social media to make a very exciting announcement. He wrote, “On May 14, a special episode of HalMyungSoo will air. My little brother GD appears. Thank you so much GD. Please watch it live”, along with a photo of the two at the filming set.

    In the picture, Park Myung Soo and G-Dragon are seen smiling happily together, standing close at the HalMyungSoo set.

    G-Dragon beams with his usual charm, and Park Myung Soo’s face clearly shows just how thrilled he is to be with the superstar.

    Celebrities quickly left comments showing their support and excitement. Hong Jin Kyung commented, “Oppa, your wish finally came true. Congratulations”. Actor Lee Dong Hwi reacted with a simple but funny “ㅋㅋㅋ”, while Jang Woo Hyuk sent heart emojis.

    The official HalMyungSoo social media also dropped a teaser for the upcoming episode. In the clip, Park Myung Soo starts off by singing Having an Affair alone—when suddenly, G-Dragon appears! Shocked and excited, Park Myung Soo dances and sings with GD before saying emotionally, “What is this?”

    The show’s team captioned the teaser with, “Finally, they meet. The one-sided love he talked about so many times on shows? GD is coming. Please don’t miss it!”

    This long-awaited reunion is special for fans who remember their iconic collaboration from MBC’s Infinite Challenge during the “West Coast Highway Music Festival,” where they performed Having an Affair.

    Since then, Park Myung Soo has never hidden his admiration for G-Dragon, often mentioning him on variety shows and interviews.

    Back in February, G-Dragon even joked on the Yongtaro YouTube channel, “Hyung Myung Soo keeps sending love calls only through the news."

    He added, "One moment he's mad, then says he’s giving up, then says, ‘No, come out now.’ He keeps doing that, so I just keep not going out.”

    Well, it looks like that “love call” finally worked. Fans can watch this legendary reunion on the May 14 episode of HalMyungSoo.

  • '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.
