KATSEYE Cancels Summer Sonic Osaka Performance Due To 2 Members Falling Ill
KATSEYE will no longer be performing at Summer Sonic Osaka today. On August 16 at midnight KST, KATSEYE announced that they would not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Osaka that day as originally scheduled. According to their agency, the cancellation was “due to two members feeling unwell, which has led to delays in their travel plans to ensure they can properly rest.” However, because “both members have fully recovered and have been cleared to fly to Tokyo,” KATSEYE will still be performing at Summer Sonic Tokyo as scheduled on August 17. In addition to the official announcement, the KATSEYE members also posted a handwritten letter to their fans expressing their regret at having to miss Summer Sonic Osaka. The official cancellation announcement is as follows: This is your KATSEYE community manager. We are very sorry to share that KATSEYE will not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Osaka on Saturday, August 16, due to two members feeling unwell which has led to delays in their travel plans to ensure they can properly rest.

Kim Yo Han Turns Bashful Around Seo Woo Jin As Romance Blooms In “The Winning Try”
Captain Kim Yo Han is turning shy in front of Park Jung Yeon in tonight’s episode of “The Winning Try”! “The Winning Try” is a new drama starring Yoon Kye Sang as Joo Ga Ram, a former rugby star who falls from grace due to a doping scandal. After he returns to his alma mater as the new coach of its rugby team, which is ranked last in the country, he leads the underdog squad on a quest to win the National Sports Festival. Spoilers Previously, Yoon Sung Joon (Kim Yo Han) expressed his feelings to Seo Woo Jin (Park Jung Yeon), saying, “I think there’s a synergy when we rely on each other,” but Woo Jin brushed off his words, creating a humorous moment. The newly released stills reveal a late-night date between Sung Joon and Woo Jin, hinting at their budding relationship. The two sit side by side under the night sky, exchanging sweet glances. As the dependable captain of the Hanyang High rugby team, Sung Joon has always shown a strong and confident side—but in front of Woo Jin, he can’t hide his affection and becomes adorably bashful. His gaze, full of warmth and admiration, sparks excitement, while Woo Jin, who usually treats him indifferently, smiles this time, hinting at a shift in her feelings. The production team shared, “In this week’s episode, Sung Joon begins to openly show his interest in Woo Jin. We hope viewers will enjoy the refreshing and sweet chemistry between these two.” The next episode of “The Winning Try” airs on August 15 at 9:50 p.m. KST!
Kim Yo Han And Kim Dan Face Off Against Former Teammate Cho Han Gyul In Pivotal Game In “The Winning Try”
Hanyang High’s rugby team is going head-to-head with their longtime rivals in tonight’s episode of “The Winning Try”! “The Winning Try” is a new drama starring Yoon Kye Sang as Joo Ga Ram, a former rugby star who falls from grace due to a doping scandal. After he returns to his alma mater as the new coach of its rugby team, which is ranked last in the country, he leads the underdog squad on a quest to win the National Sports Festival. Spoilers In the upcoming episode, the Hanyang Physical Education High School rugby team is competing in the Presidential Cup National Rugby Championship. Their first-round opponents are none other than Daesang High, last year’s national champions. The matchup carries extra tension for Hanyang, who previously faced a crisis when their former coach jumped ship to Daesang, followed by first-year ace Kang Tae Poong (Cho Han Gyul) making the same move. But under the leadership of new head coach Joo Ga Ram, who turned that crisis into a turning point, the team has been reborn. With the addition of Moon Woong (Kim Dan), Hanyang High is now at full strength. Newly released stills show Ga Ram and his players fully charged for battle. Ga Ram lays out the game plan with commanding charisma, while the team—serious-faced and laser-focused—prepares with unwavering determination to win. Other shots capture a tense standoff between captain Yoon Sung Joon (Kim Yo Han), newcomer Moon Woong, and Tae Poong—the former Hanyang ace who defected to Daesang. Sung Joon locks Tae Poong in a fierce stare, while Tae Poong deliberately avoids meeting his eyes. Tae Poong’s guarded reaction to Moon Woong also hints at a brewing shift in the players’ dynamics. The final still shows Moon Woong charging across the field at full speed. With his raw athletic talent and rugby instinct, anticipation is running high for his first official match. Will his arrival tip the scales in Hanyang’s favor against Daesang? Find out in the next episode of “The Winning Try,” airing on August 15 at 9:50 p.m. KST!
