-Her Instagram followers have increased a lot.

-I didn't know much about her. I saw her for the first time in Squid Game. I'll be rooting for her!

-I didn’t have high expectations, but her acting was pretty good.

-Her acting felt natural, and her lines were clear and well-delivered. But her character didn't particularly standout. I’m looking forward to Season 3.

-She's so cute.

-Yuri is so adorable. She seems good at both singing and acting. I hope she gets more active in the future.

-I didn’t know who she was, so I thought she was just a rookie actress.

-Her acting skill is better than I expected.

-I like Jo Yuri. She’s cute, sings well, and her acting skill is quite good.

-She was the most charming character in the whole show.

-I was surprised to see how good her acting skill is in Work Later, Drink Now... It's surprising because I didn't see that coming from a main vocalist.

-I’ve completely fallen for her too.

-I’m curious about what will happen to her in Season 3.

-I like Jo Yuri, but I didn’t watch Squid Game because of the director, T.O.P, and Jun Jaejoon. Still, I'm glad to see her getting positive reactions.

-Seems like there are a lot of people jealous of her success.

The profession that Park Jinyoung said is leading the current K-pop trend

Park Jinyoung said this yesterday on 'The Ddanddara' 

 

Special masters who define the quality of a star.

Every time K-pop artists release new songs, they keep an eye on these people. 

The ones who are leading and creating the latest trends... 

Creators and influencers.

These days, the K-pop market is heavily influenced by creators and influencers.

That's why they invited influencers as special judges

 

1st row, L-R: Im Wooil (670K followers), Rian (150K followers), GeniusSKLee (460K followers), Top Student Jeonil-ie (190K followers)

2nd row, L-R: Lee Shinhyuk (80K followers), Kinky (30K followers), Chuther (1.5 M followers), Brick Grandpa (580K followers)

 (I didn’t include Mimi and Gangnam since they’re pretty well-known already!)

How many of these people do you know?!!

Except for Lee Shinhyuk, I know them allㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 
I can't believe I'm seeing Brick Grandpa in this show...

theqoo

 -Leading K-pop? What exactly are they doing for K-pop?

-I don't watch Youtube.. So I'm not sure if these people are really leading the trends.

-I only know that Rian and Kinky are dancers (I just know their names, though)

-I don't know any of them.

-I know that Im Wooil is a KBS comedian, and I know Rian and Kinky from Street Woman Fighter and Street Man Fighter.

-I know some of them, but unless they're dancers, what do they have to do with K-pop?

-This is my first time seeing all of them...

-I only saw Brick Grandfather's shorts once, and I recognized him because he was unique... Otherwise, I wouldn't know any of them...

-Influencers prefer songs that can be used for TikTok or Reels.

-This show keeps trying to gain attention.

-Who are all these people?

-No wonder why JYP groups' recent performance hasn't been good if this is the way they manage things.

-What do creators have to do with K-pop?

(SPOILER) Lee Jinwook was 'ㅇㅇㅇㅇ'?... Anticipations for 'Squid Game 3' raised

SPOILER 


https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/144/0001011224

New speculations about Netflix's 'Squid Game 2' have surfaced as actress Park Gyuyoung revealed behind-the-scenes photos from the filming set.

On the 8th, Park Gyuyoung posted a photo of herself taking a break during the filming of 'Squid Game 2' on her social media. However, an unexpected detail caught fans' attention.

In the photo, Park Gyuyoung, dressed as a pink soldier, was seen resting beside another person with an unclear identity. This individual, presumed to be an actor, was also wearing a pink soldier uniform and resting on a chair, leading to speculation that it was Lee Jinwook.

Lee Jinwook plays the role of Park Kyungseok in 'Squid Game 2,' a character who participates in the deadly game to pay for his daughter Nayeon's leukemia surgery. He gained attention for being a coworker of Kang Noeul, played by Park Gyuyoung, at an amusement park.

Netizens have upscaled a photo of a male actor resting next to Park Gyuyoun and argued that it is indeed Lee Jinwook. Speculations about the reason behind his pink soldier uniform grew since then.

Due to the controversy surrounding spoilers, Park Gyuyoung has deleted the photo in question.

'Squid Game 2' has been a global sensation since its release on the 26th of last month. Within 11 days of its release, it achieved 126.2 million views (calculated by dividing total viewing time by the total runtime), and it maintained its position as the number one global title for two consecutive weeks. 'Squid Game 3' is scheduled to be released on June 27th.

theqoo

 -Netflix must be sighing heavily right now ㅋㅋ

-It would be interesting if it's true...

-I thought that this might be the only way for him to save his daughter... And yep, there it isㅋㅋㅋ

-No wonder Lee Jinwook only appeared briefly in Season 2.

-Huh...? This is a major spoiler.

-What the heck? If it's true, this is a really major plot twist;;

-Honestly, I still can't tell if it's Lee Jinwookㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠ

-I'm glad I finished watching yesterday, but there must be so many people who haven't... This is way too much of a spoilerㅋㅋㅋ

-Can you please blur out his face? Are you kidding me?

-Isn’t Netflix super sensitive about spoilers?ㅎㅎ

-Why would she even post that?

-Park Gyuyoung's gonna have to pay a huge penalty for this, isn't she...?

-But how do you even know it’s Lee Jinwook?

-She should have been more careful... Hul.

-Didn't she sign non-disclosure agreements?;; Why would she post that?

Song Joongki faces two consecutive box office flops ... 'Bogota: City of the Lost' fails to attract audiences


https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/609/0000939945

Song Joongki's film, 'Bogota: City of the Lost', is struggling at the box office.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated network on January 7th, the film, which was released on December 31st, has accumulated only 336,348 viewers.

Despite being a new release, it falls behind the previously released films 'Harbin' (directed by Woo Minho) and 'Firefighters' (directed by Kwak Kyungtaek), currently ranking third at the box office.

With his previous film, 'Hopeless', released in October 2023, also falling short with only 260,000 viewers, making the actor faces two consecutive box office failures.

theqoo

-The title itself isn’t appealing... Seems like they lack a sense for it.

-I watched the trailer, it just looks too boring.

-Would you pay 15,000 KRW just because it's Song Joongki?

-Honestly, hearing Song Joongki's name actually makes me even less interested.

-Don’t waste Song Joongki’s face like that...

-I watched it yesterday, and there was no substance.

-What I want to see from Song Joongki is something like Descendants of the Sun, but his movies are always so dark and gloomy... I wonder why?

-I don’t have any expectations for Song Joongki anymore. His acting skill has declined.

-I didn’t even know it was releasedㅋㅋㅋ

-Nowadays, who watches a movie just because of the actor? The movie itself has to be interesting.

-The only Song Joongki movie I know is A Werewolf Boy.

-I think Song Joongki seems more suited for dramas...

-Regardless of whether you like the actor or not, there's no actor who always succeedsㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’ll have a hit project again eventually.

-His acting is terrible.

-Not only is his acting bad, but his image is also ruined.

Porsche designed by BLACKPINK Jennie listed on an online secondhand marketplace


Whoa... Someone listed Jennie's Porsche on Daangn (NB: Korean online secondhand marketplace)ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ There are only two in the world, one is Jennie's and the other one is this person'sㄷㄷㄷ 

 

295 Million KRW 

Selling limited edition Porsche Taycan Jennie Ruby Jane 4S Cross Turismo (a.k.a Jennie's car)

-Designed by BLACKPINK Jennie, only two units exist in this world.

-One owned by Jennie, the other one auctioned off at Seoul Auction last year, and purchased by the seller

-Like-new condition (Only driven 150km during delivery)

-There are only two units of this design in this world, the design will never be produced again.

-Customized through Porsche's Sonderwunsch program (Custom order program, minimum down payment of 100,000 euros)

-Hoping to sell to someone who appreciates the value of this car.

It's the Porsche that Jennie posted on her Instagram

It's a car designed by Jennie through Porsche's Sonderwunsch customization program and there are only two units in the world.

It's said to be posted on Daangn.

theqoo

-Are you sure they didn't list it just to flex?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-There are only two units in the world, and both are in Korea?

-Wow... The car is so beautiful.

-It would be fun if Jennie bought it (I know it's not gonna happen)

-The car is so pretty, but I don't have the money to buy itㅜㅜ

-With only one photo, who would buy this? Unless the seller listed it just to show off.

-If you buy it, you’d have a couple item with Jennie.

-It seems like they're looking for a collector, not someone who would actually use and drive the car.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThat's cheaper than I thought.

-For one of only two cars in the world, it's quite cheap, isn't it? I'm sure a rich Jennie fan will snatch this up right away. I'm so jealous.

-Is it expensive because Jennie designed it? Or is that the usual price for a Porsche?

-A Jennie fan might actually buy this. It’s practically a couple’s item.

-Wow, of course I can't afford it, but it seems worth buying.

-If I only had the money, I would buy it...

-What happens if you damage the bumper? Can you replace it? It’s custom-made...

The scene in Minnie’s MV that made fans begging her to eat

Minnie revealed a pre-release song from her solo album yesterday.

 

Minnie-ya, please eat 

Minnie-ya, seriously, eat something, please. 

Minnie-nim, please eat a lot of delicious food...

 All of her fans are telling her to eat...

 

And for good reason.

You can literally see her bones... It’s probably for the concept, but someone please feed Kim Minnie five meals a day.

theqoo

-Huh? Looking at the MV, that spine scene seems to be a CG effect to match the bizarre concept, right? Are you guys sure she's really that skinny?

-Eat 3 plates of Pad Thai and 2 servings of Tom Yum Goong, please.

-Considering idols' schedules, this isn't a joke. They really need to eat wellㅜㅜ

-It really looks like CG, though.

-Isn't that just a CG?

-It's harmful... It doesn't even look beautiful, why does she have to be so skinny?

-Visible bones aren’t pretty. It's scary.

-Minnie is really into food. She posts more food pics than selfies on her Instagram stories and Bubble. So don't worry.

-Is this 'The Substance' or what?

-There was a similar scene of Seo Hyunjin in 'The Trunk'

-It’s not like she’s saying, “Look how skinny I am!” It seems more like they intentionally made her bones visible to match the eerie vibe of the video and song, so I don’t think it’s harmful...

-Didn’t she just do this temporarily for the project? I mean... Actors lose weight for roles all the time.

-Isn’t the bone totally CG?? The bones look massive.

-But some people naturally have a bone structure where their bones are noticeable. I’m like that. My spine and ribs stick out even at a normal weight.
