On February 28, the music video for their electrifying track ‘CRAZY’ officially surpassed the 200 million view mark on YouTube. This milestone cements the group’s status as a global powerhouse and highlights the enduring popularity of the track, which was originally released on August 30, 2024, as the lead single from their EP of the same name.

‘CRAZY’ is now the third music video in LE SSERAFIM’s discography to join the exclusive 200 million view club.

Get ready, ARMY, because Seoul is officially clearing the stage for the Kings of K-Pop. In a move that underscores their unprecedented cultural influence, major historic landmarks in the heart of Seoul will be closing their doors to the public to make way for BTS’s colossal comeback live show, ‘ARIRANG’.

On Saturday, March 21 at 8 PM KST, Gyeongbokgung Palace—South Korea’s most iconic royal palace—will be closed to ordinary visitors. Instead, it will serve as the majestic backdrop for a performance that promises to rewrite history. The event is set to take place at Gwanghwamun Square, transforming the urban center into a massive concert venue.

The scale of this event is nothing short of legendary. Police authorities are estimating a gathering of approximately 260,000 fans flooding the streets to witness the spectacle. To manage this massive influx and ensure the show’s grandeur, nearby cultural hubs like the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History and the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts will also shut down, with scheduled performances canceled or moved.

Spoilers regarding the stage production have already set social media on fire. According to filings with the National Heritage Service, the opening sequence will feature the members walking through the three historic doors of Gwanghwamun, heading toward a stage set up on the northern side of the square. It is a symbolic convergence of Korea’s traditional heritage and its modern pop culture titans.

For those who can’t be in Seoul, the world is still watching. In a groundbreaking partnership, ‘ARIRANG’ will be streamed exclusively on Netflix to viewers in over 190 countries. This marks the first time a Korea-based live event will be broadcast globally on the platform, proving once again that BTS paves the way.

It is often said that blood is thicker than water, but in the high-stakes world of the Korean entertainment industry, money sometimes severs those bonds completely. A wave of heartbreaking revelations has recently surfaced, shining a light on top stars who have been forced to make the painful decision to cut ties with their own families due to financial exploitation.

Super Junior’s Shindong: A Shocking Confession

The most recent revelation comes from Super Junior member Shindong. On the February 25 broadcast of Disney+’s Battle of Fates, Shindong opened up after a shaman, Seol Hwa, gave a chilling reading about his family’s energy.

When the shaman pointed out his mother’s obsession with money despite having good fortune, Shindong admitted the harsh reality: “To be honest, I am not in contact with my parents right now.” He explained that his attempts to provide living expenses turned into demands for large lump sums, which his mother subsequently lost to scams and bad investments. The emotional toll was evident when he agreed with the shaman’s assessment that his loneliness drives his desire for a “second family” through marriage.

Park Soo Hong: Justice After 4 Years

Broadcaster Park Soo Hong has finally seen the end of a grueling four-year legal battle. On February 26, the Supreme Court finalized a prison sentence of 3.5 years for his older brother for embezzling approximately 6.17 billion KRW (approx. $4.6 million USD) over a decade. His sister-in-law received a suspended sentence.

The betrayal was deep. Park revealed that his family used his earnings for their own real estate and “future planning” while he held nothing in his name. “Even if they are family, it should never be acceptable for some to benefit from another person’s sacrifice,” Park stated, highlighting the toxic entitlement that plagued his family dynamics.

Jang Yoon Jung, Kim Hye Soo, and Shim Hyung Tak: A Pattern of Pain

These recent cases echo the struggles of other beloved stars:

• Jang Yoon Jung: The “Queen of Trot” famously revealed in 2013 that her mother squandered her earnings on unauthorized investments, leaving her with 1 billion KRW in debt. The ensuing smear campaign by her family shocked the nation.
• Kim Hye Soo: Top actress Kim Hye Soo had to draw a line in 2012. Despite her immense success, her mother’s habitual borrowing created debts so massive—over 1.3 billion KRW—that even Kim’s fortune couldn’t cover them, leading to their estrangement.
• Shim Hyung Tak: Actor Shim Hyung Tak was sued for 500 million KRW due to loans his mother took out in his name without his knowledge. Although he was acquitted, the financial damage forced him to sell his Han River-view apartment. The emotional scar was visible during his wedding, where he noted with sadness that none of his blood relatives were in attendance.

As these stories come to light, fans are rallying around these stars, supporting their courage to break free from toxic familial cycles and find happiness on their own terms.

From extreme calorie counting to becoming a self-care queen, T-ara‘s Hahm Eun Jung is opening up about the stark contrast between her idol days and her current healthy lifestyle.

On February 27, the singer-turned-actress uploaded a new vlog to her YouTube channel titled ‘De-Puffing at a Solo Sauna with What’s in My Bag’. In the video, she takes fans along on a relaxing trip to a private sauna in Gwangmyeong, looking to cure some fatigue-induced puffiness caused by a lack of sleep.

While enjoying the heat in her private room, Eun Jung dropped some shocking details about the severe dietary restrictions she faced during her peak T-ara days. "As an idol, I drastically reduced the amount I ate," she confessed. She revealed a heartbreaking anecdote where diet culture was so intense that "sometimes, two people would share just one bowl of bibimbap."

Fortunately, her mindset has completely shifted. "Now, I focus on eating well, sleeping well, and resting," she emphasized, noting that a functioning body is key to true health and weight management. This new philosophy seems to serve her well, especially following her marriage to film director Kim Byung Woo in November 2025.

She actually credited her wedding preparation for her newfound love of saunas. "The day before my wedding, I had a busy shoot and was exhausted, but after using the hotel sauna, all the puffiness went away. I was really happy with how my face looked that day," she recalled.

The vlog also featured a ‘What’s In My Bag’ segment, where Eun Jung showed off her essentials: low-sugar snacks, honey, perfume, and various massage tools to help with circulation. Laughing that she carries items like a "traveling merchant," she advised, "When time is tight, circulation is the most important."

It’s refreshing to see second-generation idols prioritizing health and sharing honest stories about the industry’s past pressures!
