Get ready for a fun episode of “Running Man” featuring MAMAMOO’s Hwasa and DAY6’s Young K!

On April 5, the popular SBS variety show aired a sneak peek of its next episode, which will feature the two singers as guests.

As the upcoming episode will have a betting theme, the preview begins with the “Running Man” members placing bets at the start of filming. While Yoo Jae Suk and Ji Ye Eun place small bets of 20,000 won (approximately $13) and 100,000 won (approximately $66) each, Hwasa boldly bets 1 million won (approximately $662), upping the stakes in the blink of an eye.

Hwasa’s fiery approach continues through the rest of the episode, with the star encouraging her teammates to “go big” when it’s betting time. In fact, the singer is so determined to win that she hilariously refuses to even let snot get in the way of victory: at one point during a game, Yoo Jae Suk asks her why she has tissue in her nostrils, and she replies with a laugh, “It’s because my nose is running.”

Meanwhile, Young K sets his pride aside as he proves that he’s willing to do anything to win. Whether begging Ji Suk Jin for some cash or passionately throwing himself into the show’s games, Young K is unstoppable once he sets his sights on the prize.

BTS’s new album “ARIRANG” has just achieved a historic feat on the Billboard 200!

On April 5 local time, Billboard announced that “ARIRANG,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last week after achieving the biggest week of any album by a Korean artist to date, was now spending its second week at the top of the chart.

“ARIRANG” is the first album by a Korean artist ever to spend more than one week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, which ranks the most popular albums in the United States.

In addition to spending a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, “ARIRANG” also remained No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, meaning it was the best-selling album in the United States for the second week in a row.

According to Luminate (formerly Nielsen Music), “ARIRANG” earned 187,000 equivalent album units during the week ending on April 2. The album’s total score included 114,000 traditional album sales, 8,000 track equivalent album (TEA) units, and 65,000 streaming equivalent album (SEA) units—which translates to 68.49 million on-demand audio streams in the album’s second week.

Congratulations to BTS on their exciting achievement!

ENHYPEN’s latest mini album is a stable hit on the Billboard 200!

Back in January, ENHYPEN’s “THE SIN : VANISH” debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart, tying the group’s personal record for their highest-ranking album to date.

Over two months later, “THE SIN : VANISH” is now spending its 10th consecutive week on the Billboard 200, where it ranked No. 184 this week.

Notably, “THE SIN : VANISH” is only ENHYPEN’s second album ever to spend 10 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200, following their 2024 album “ROMANCE : UNTOLD.” (The group’s 2023 mini album “DARK BLOOD” also spent 10 weeks on the Billboard 200, but they were non-consecutive: the album dropped off the chart after eight weeks, then re-entered it later on.)

“THE SIN : VANISH” also maintained its position at No. 2 on Billboard’s World Albums chart, in addition to staying strong at No. 9 on the Top Album Sales chart—meaning it was the ninth best-selling album of the week in the United States.

Meanwhile, ENHYPEN made Billboard’s Artist 100 at No. 89 this week, marking their 88th overall week on the chart.

Congratulations to ENHYPEN!

BTS also charted three albums this week: their anthology album “Proof” climbed back up to No. 3 (in its 198th week), while their Japanese album “Map of the Soul: 7 ~The Journey~” ranked No. 9 (in its 21st week) and their 2018 album “Love Yourself: Tear” re-entered the chart at No. 25 (in its 213th week).

Stray Kids similarly landed three albums on this week’s chart, where “DO IT” rose to No. 4 (in its 18th week), trailed by “KARMA” at No. 12 (in its 31st week) and “ATE” at No. 22 (in its 88th week).

Meanwhile, ATEEZ’s latest mini album “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4” stayed strong at No. 6 in its seventh week on the chart.

IVE’s “REVIVE+” took No. 13 in its fifth week on the chart, with NewJeans’ “Get Up” holding steady at No. 17 (in its 133rd week).

Get ready for the premiere of “Yumi’s Cells 3”!

“Yumi’s Cells” tells the story of an ordinary office worker named Yumi (Kim Go Eun)—from the point of view of the many brain cells in her head controlling her every thought, feeling, and action. Yumi, who has become a famous writer by Season 3, goes through big changes when she meets Soon Rok (Kim Jae Won).

Below are three key points to raise anticipation for the upcoming drama!

A love-hate romance

One of the keywords for Season 3’s romance is “love-hate relationship.” Despite succeeding in her career, Yumi is still clumsy when it comes to love. Soon Rok constantly provokes Yumi’s frustration with his completely different personality, making their contrasting chemistry a main point to watch.

Director Lee Sang Yeob shared, “Soon Rok appears in Yumi’s seemingly perfect life like a stone suddenly shattering calm water. A fun point to watch will be how Soon Rok makes cracks in Yumi’s routine and how they grow closer. The relationship is different from Yumi’s past relationships—in terms of process, speed, and reason. A completely new relationship will be formed as as excitement and anger come together at once, and it’ll be great if you can watch what concerns Yumi will have and how she will grow in the process.”

Writer Song Jae Jung shared, “A new change will come to Yumi, a successful writer who appears to have everything on the outside. With the appearance of Shin Soon Rok, who has clear personal standards, Yumi, who has fallen into a standard routine, will earn a new type of angry energy. Please keep watch of the relationship with Soon Rook, who has a different charm from Goo Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun) and Yoo Babi (Park Jinyoung) from past seasons.”

The revival of cell village and rediscovering self

Yumi’s success has led to a major shift in her cell village, raising curiosity for how Soon Rok will change her cell village.

Writer Kim Kyung Ran shared, “As Yumi achieves success as a writer, the influence of her writer cell grows significantly, but as a side effect, many other cells disappear, leaving the cell village desolate,” adding, “When Soon Rok appears, it sparks changes again, becoming the starting point of their relationship.”

She continued, “If Seasons 1 and 2 were about Yumi finding herself through love, this season will depict Yumi, who thought had completed herself, facing new changes and rediscovering the self she had forgotten.”

A warm message of support

Ultimately, the positive message the “Yumi’s Cells” series wants to send is support to all the viewers facing reality.

Director Lee Sang Yeob remarked, “Yumi matures the most when she loves. Please watch as Yumi moves forward in life one step at a time. Yumi’s new romance will begin. Although she’s a successful romance writer, dating is still not easy—but it’s exciting, fun, and lovable. Please support the journey of Yumi becoming a cool adult.”

Writer Song Jae Jung shared, “I hope Yumi’s happiness and success can serve as a message of encouragement to those who are struggling today.”

Finally, writer Kim Kyung Ran remarked, “Just like the cells in Yumi’s mind, numerous cells in us are cheering for our happiness as their top priority. I hope you remember that and find strength. That is both the message we wanted to convey through this story and what we hope to say to all the ‘Yumis’ out there.”

“Yumi’s Cells 3” will premiere on April 13 at 6 p.m. KST.

Tensions continue to escalate in “Mad Concrete Dreams”!

tvN’s “Mad Concrete Dreams” is a thriller drama starring Ha Jung Woo as Ki Su Jong, a struggling landlord who gets caught up in crime to protect his family and property. Despite achieving the coveted status of a landlord, mounting debts lead him to become entangled in a staged kidnapping. However, the plan spirals out of control as the fake kidnapping turns dangerously real.

Spoilers

Previously in episode 7, Ki Su Jong woke up at Jang Hui Ju’s (Ryu Abel) real estate office completely drunk. After drinking with Jang Hui Ju all night, Ki Su Jong had woken up to find Jang Hui Ju dead. Having lost all memories of the night before, Ki Su Jong was shocked as he became a suspect.

However, another figure is involved in the night of Jang Hui Ju’s passing—Min Hwal Seong (Kim Jun Han). Drunk, Ki Su Jong had shared the truth about Kim Seon’s (Im Soo Jung) affair to Jang Hui Ju, and Min Hwal Seong had an audio recording of this, making viewers curious how he had gotten access to the recording.

The newly released stills capture Ki Su Jong grabbing Min Hwal Seong by the collar in what appears to be an escalating fight. Min Hwal Seong participates in a protest opposing redevelopment, facing off against Ki Su Jong, who gets angry at Min Hwal Seong for pushing him into a corner and creating this entire situation. However, Ki Su Jong also could not properly recall what happened the night he was drunk, making viewers curious to find out what Min Hwal Seong will tell Ki Su Jong about the previous night.

Another still of Kim Seon calling someone frantically hints that a serious situation has unfolded. As the episode preview showed Ki Da Rae (Park Seo Kyung) finding out everything her parents had done, viewers are curious to find out if something has happened to Ki Da Rae.

The next episode of “Mad Concrete Dreams” will air on April 5 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

He went on to add, “Thank you to the viewers who gave us their love while laughing and crying together with us.”

Reflecting on what the drama meant to her, Lee Mi Sook shared, “I was happy to have been able to live as Kim Na Na. [This drama] gave me the chance to feel once again the preciousness of our love for people and the emotions we want to hold onto even as things fade away and are forgotten.”

“To all the ‘Kim Na Nas’ of the world, I want to remind them just how strong and radiant their lives are,” she continued. “I hope that our viewers’ seasons will also always be radiant.”

Kang Suk Woo humbly remarked, “Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the staff, we were able to enjoy filming up until the very end despite the cold weather.

Han Ji Hyeon revealed, “The dialogue and scenes in the drama were a source of great comfort to me, like the advice of an older adult, and they made me take a moment to reflect on myself. As we are beings that support one another, I hope that when you find yourself going through a tough time, you will take the time to pause and rest for a short while.”

She went on, “Just as spring comes after winter passes by, I will be rooting for all of your lives to be filled with a stream of warm and radiant moments.”

Looking back on her experience during filming, Oh Ye Ju commented, “Through this drama, I was able to grow, and it was a warm journey that allowed me to reflect once again on the value of life. I was happy during every single moment of filming, and I’m grateful for the love you gave us.”

Finally, Kim Tae Young thanked the drama’s viewers by saying, “The support and encouragement of viewers gave me a lot of strength. I hope that this drama, which was my debut project, will remain in your memories for a long time.”

Lee Ki Taek will be ambushed not once but twice on the next episode of “The Practical Guide to Love”!

JTBC’s “The Practical Guide to Love” is a rom-com drama starring Han Ji Min as Lee Ui Yeong, a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to pursue love. When she meets two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them—prompting a journey towards discovering what true love really means.

Spoilers

Previously on “The Practical Guide to Love,” Shin Ji Su (Lee Ki Taek) went through countless auditions before finally landing a role. However, despite wanting to be recognized for his acting talent rather than his connections, he soon found himself facing a bitter reality. As the stepson of Son Jeong Ah (Moon Jung Hee), he was treated like a VIP when he was with her, but when he was alone, he was treated coldly.

In the upcoming episode of the drama, Shin Ji Su will be shocked to learn that Son Jung Ah volunteered to make a special appearance just for his sake. As soon as she arrives on set, the veteran actress will command the attention of the director and the rest of the cast, and she will also shower Shin Ji Su with thoughtful advice.

However, this heartwarming atmosphere is short-lived: before long, Shin Ji Su’s father Shin Ji Hoon (Choi Won Young) also shows up on set, leading to an unexpected turn of events. When the enraged Shin Ji Hoon aggressively confronts Son Jeong Ah, Shin Ji Su steps in between them to block his father.

To find out why Shin Ji Hoon is so furious at Son Jeong Ah—and why Shin Ji Su winds up taking her side—tune in to the next episode of “The Practical Guide to Love” on April 4 at 10:40 p.m. KST!

SBS’s “Phantom Lawyer” has shared an intriguing sneak peek of its next episode!

“Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law.

Spoilers

On the previous episode of “Phantom Lawyer,” Han Na Hyun inspired Shin I Rang to decide to return to seeing ghosts again. The episode ended with the ghost of Han Na Hyun’s older sister Han So Hyun (Hwang Bo Reum Byeol) appearing before Shin I Rang in his office, with Shin I Rang recognizing her instantly from the photo he’d seen in Han Na Hyun’s apartment.

Notably, the ghosts that seek out Shin I Rang have usually lost all their memories from when they were alive, and they hover in midair until they manage to regain their memories by figuring out their name and date of birth. However, Han So Hyun’s feet were already on the ground when she first appeared in Shin I Rang’s office, raising the question of whether she already remembers everything about her death and her past.

Meanwhile, newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode capture an emotional moment between Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun. As the two stare into one another’s eyes at an amusement park, the usually frosty Han Na Hyun’s gaze is full of emotion.

Is this tense moment the start of a real romance between the two lawyers? Or is Han Na Hyun so emotional simply because Shin I Rang is possessed by the ghost of Han So Hyun?

“In Episode 8, Shin I Rang will delve deep into the family tragedy that is the most painful part of Han Na Hyun’s existence,” said the drama’s production team. “What is the first message that the deceased Han So Hyun, whose feet touch the ground, will deliver? And what sort of turning point lies in store for the relationship between Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun, who have begun to heal each other’s wounds? Please look forward to finding out.”

To find out what happens between Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun at the amusement park, catch the next episode of “Phantom Lawyer”on April 4 at 9:50 p.m. KST!

Spoilers

Previously on “Mad Concrete Dreams,” Ki Su Jong and his wife Kim Seon (Im Soo Jung) came close to getting a divorce, but they were brought back together by a a common goal.

However, this already precarious alliance between the two spouses will be shaken further by the return of Min Hwal Seong, who has woken up from his coma.

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Ki Su Jong and Kim Seon run into Min Hwal Seong while attending a dinner party. When Ki Su Jong steps away for a moment, Min Hwal Seong seizes the opportunity to approach Kim Seon and attempts to engage her in a secretive conversation.

Ki Su Jong’s expression hardens as he watches Min Hwal Seong whisper something in Kim Seon’s ear, while Kim Seon appears lost in thought at the dinner table.
