-It's more expensive than my bias' solo concert.

-They're just milking money from RIIZE and NCT WISH's fansㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Who's paying that much for an award show? It's not like this is a solo concert...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Since when did award shows become paid concerts with expensive tickets?

-We should all boycott this.

-Might as well just go to a solo concert instead.

-Please... I hope my bias is not going to be in the lineup.

-No one should go to this show. That way, maybe they'll finally learn their mistake. Please do not go to this show.

-This is pissing me off.

-Why are they being so ambiguous? It's so frustrating.

-Why is today's episode being f*cking canceled?

-Do you know how much I've waited for today to come...?

-Why are they acting like this?

-They're airing the final episode on Valentine's Day...

-So why are they canceling today's episode? SBS is such a dumbass. Just air today's episode like plannesㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's annoying to have odd-numbered episodes.

-This completely breaks the momentum. What the heck are they doing I could at least understand them canceling one episode because of the opening ceremony, but this... This is ridiculous.

-They're probably canceling today's episode to earn more ad revenue. This is pissing me off.

-I binged 8 episodes over the holidays for today... What was the point?ㅠㅠ

-The schedule makes no sense.

-I finished 'The Tale of Lady Ok' and 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' over the holidays and started to watch 'Love Scout' because I was running out of dramas to watch... I was really looking forward to today's episode...

-It’s so obvious they’re dragging this out for more ad revenue.

-My world just collapsed…

-What the hell? Why are they canceling today's episode? I have nothing to watch nowㅜㅜㅜㅜ

‘All 176 people escaped safely’ Gimhae Air Busan fire extinguished with help from Air Force soldiers


A fire at Gimhae International Airport involving an Air Busan aircraft carrying 176 people was extinguished without major casualties, with help from Air Force personnel.

According to the Air Force on the 29th, at 10:26 PM on the 28th, just one day before Lunar New Year, Sergeant Cha Seungyeon, who was on emergency standby duty at Gimhae Airport, received the fire report.
Immediately, 13 personnel, including Sergeant Cha, were dispatched to the scene. Five minutes later, an additional 12 personnel were sent with two chemical fire trucks.

The Air Force firefighting unit worked with the Korea Airports Corporation fire department to extinguish the fire.

After putting out the major flames, Rescue Chief Moon Sungho confirmed that there were still small fires inside the cabin. He was the first firefighter to enter the aircraft to make sure all the fire has been extinguished. He said, “In my 27 years of military service, I have handled many building fires, but this was my first real aircraft fire. Fortunately, my body instinctively followed the training we regularly conducted, so I was able to complete the mission without panic.” He added, “I’m relieved that the accident was prevented without major injuries, and I feel a great sense of duty as a soldier. I hope all service members working during the holiday continue to stay strong so that the public can rest peacefully.”

The fire broke out at 10:15 PM on the 28th on Air Busan flight BX391, which was preparing for takeoff at Gimhae Airport. It was fully extinguished in 1 hour and 16 minutes, by 11:31 PM. During the evacuation, seven people, including three passengers and four crew members, sustained minor injuries such as bruises. 
Gimhae International Airport has since completed on-site cleanup and resumed normal operations in the next morning.

A variety show that just hit its lowest viewer ratings

'I'm a Singer'

 

'I'm a Singer in Germany'

Highest rating: 2.4% (November 2)
Latest rating: 1.0% (January 25)

Not only are the ratings low, but the buzz and the video views are really low.

Considering they invited many celebrities for overseas filming, the production cost is expected to be high.

theqoo

-First time hearing about this... Wait, Suzy is on that show?

-I didn't even know this show existed. Is that Suzy?

-No way this is another KBS show?? The format is so similar.

-I’ve never heard of this show before.

-A knockoff of Begin Again?

-All these shows are so similar. This one looks like a knockoff of Begin Again.

-I'm just now finding out about this showㅋㅋ

-Why do they have to film overseas?

-But have there been any successful music variety shows set overseas? They keep making them.

-There are already too many music variety shows.

-I’m not watching because Henry is in it.

-If they're going to make them sing like that, they should just do a content where they travel using money they earn from buskingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It's exactly like Begin Again... I happened to stumble over this show yesterday, but I just switched channels right away.

-Was the point to promote Korean artists and get recognized abroad? Why...? It would’ve been better to do it in Korea.

It's said that 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' star Ha Young comes from a family of medical professionals

 

'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' star Ha Young is actually from a family of doctors🩺

"My father is a practicing doctor, and my mother majored in nursing. I heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first doctors to practice Western medicine in Hanyang. I heard that my great-grandfather was one of the first doctors to practice Western medicine in Hanyang." 

theqoo 

-What does coming from a family of doctors have to do with acting skills? I’m genuinely curious, not trying to start an argument.

-If an actor/actress has been around a particular profession, it would definitely help them in portraying that role.

-No wonder her acting was so natural.

-I really liked Jangmi’s character, and her performance in the drama was absolutely amazing.

-If her family members are actually medical professionals, she must've seen and heard a lot about the role she's portraying in this dramaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Don't be jealous.

-So she comes from a wealthy family.

-Wow, no wonder her tone was so natural.

-I personally think her acting felt super natural.

-Dramas usually consult with experts in their field. So it must be helpful to have a family member who's a medical professional. Why are some people making ridiculous arguments with such confidence?

-That means she can ask for advice or references from her family. What's wrong with people?

-Coming from a doctor’s family and graduating from Ewha Womans University… Definitely an enviable background.

-I first saw her in 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call' and I have to agree that she's such an amazing actress.
