Is there anything UEE can’t do? The singer-turned-actress has once again proven her resilience and athletic prowess, officially completing her first-ever half marathon!

On March 2, despite gloomy weather and pouring rain, UEE participated in the 2026 New Balance Half Race Seoul. Not only did she finish, but she also clocked an impressive official record of 2 hours, 9 minutes, and 28 seconds.

UEE took to social media to celebrate the milestone, posting photos where she is beaming with pride—finisher’s medal in hand—completely unbothered by the soaked conditions. However, the journey to the finish line wasn’t without its hurdles. The star candidly revealed that she had been battling anxiety leading up to the race due to lingering physical setbacks.

“After my hip and knee injuries, running became difficult,” she confessed to fans. “When I ran 22 kilometers in three hours during practice, I was really worried and scared about whether I could make it within the cutoff time of 2 hours and 30 minutes.”

The race route, stretching from Gwanghwamun Square to Jamsil Sports Complex, tested her limits. UEE admitted that with just 2 kilometers remaining, her pace dropped significantly to seven minutes per kilometer. Yet, true to her ‘energizer’ reputation, she drew strength from the cheering crowd to power through the final stretch.

Reflecting on the achievement, UEE wrote an inspiring message: “Today, I went beyond my limits. I found another reason to keep living diligently.”

This feat follows her consistent track record of athleticism this year; she kicked off 2026 with a 10km run on New Year’s Day and previously stunned viewers with her grit on the tvN variety show Iron Girls, where she tackled triathlons and boxing. Congratulations to UEE on another amazing achievement!

The buzz surrounding Hearts2Hearts is getting louder, and the charts are proving it!

M Entertainment’s eight-member powerhouse is currently turning heads with their latest single, “RUDE!”, delivering a series of electrifying performances that have fans smashing the replay button.

The group has been busy lighting up major broadcast stages, completing a successful circuit on Mnet’s M Countdown, KBS2’s Music Bank, MBC’s Show! Music Core, and SBS’s Inkigayo. Viewers have been captivated by their stage presence, which is packed with back-to-back “killing parts” that leave a lasting impression.

This energy translates perfectly into the choreography, which features bouncy, high-octane movements, dynamic formation changes utilizing all eight members, and engaging unit sections. A standout moment is the playful “follow me” point dance, where the members invite fans to join in the fun.

The hard work is paying off in the rankings. “RUDE!” is officially a hit, climbing to a peak of No. 3 on the Melon TOP100 as of 11 PM on March 1.

BLACKPINK’s Rosé is making headlines again, but this time it isn’t just for her music or her signature visuals—it’s for her heart of gold.

We all know Rosé’s iconic blonde hair is practically a member of BLACKPINK at this point. For seven years, she has maintained that perfect platinum shade, a commitment that requires root touch-ups every two weeks. But behind that flawless look is a grueling schedule, not just for the idol, but for her glam team as well.

On a recent episode of the YouTube channel Workers High, celebrity hairstylist Cha Cha (Cha Jong Hyun)—who also works with stars like Sunmi and (G)I-DLE—spilled the tea on what it really takes to keep Rosé looking runway-ready.

The Cost of Perfection

Cha Cha revealed the intensity of their schedule. When Rosé is overseas in cities like Los Angeles or Paris, the stylist often flies out for same-day appointments. Imagine flying 12 hours, spending four hours bleaching and coloring, and then hopping right back on a plane to Korea that same evening. The physical toll was massive, with Cha Cha admitting he suffered from hip and tailbone issues due to the constant long-haul travel.

A “Chaebol-Level” Gesture

Noticing her stylist’s physical struggle, Rosé made a move that left fans swooning. She personally arranged and gifted him a business class seat to alleviate his pain during one of these exhausting trips.

Cha Cha was floored by the gesture, stating, “Even chaebols (conglomerates) don’t do this.” He expressed how this level of consideration is rare in the industry and shared that her thoughtfulness motivated him to work even harder for her.

Breaking Records and Hearts

In other news, Rosé continues to dominate the global stage. BLACKPINK recently dropped their third mini-album, DEADLINE, and Rosé just made history by winning “International Song of the Year” at the 46th BRIT Awards for her smash hit “APT.” It seems she is winning big in both her career and her kindness!

The Prince of K-Pop visuals has struck again! Stray Kids’ Hyunjin has officially departed for the fashion capital of the world, turning the Incheon International Airport departure hall into his own personal runway on the morning of March 2.

His airport fit? Absolute perfection. Hyunjin was decked out in a full Dior ensemble, proving his status as a fashion icon. The centerpiece of his look was a stylish blouson jacket featuring eye-catching orange accents, which he paired effortlessly with sleek black bootcut pants. To complete the modern casual vibe, he sported Dior’s signature “Soltwind” sneakers.

It is all in the details for Hyunjin. He elevated the outfit with a brown calfskin Dior Arch bag, a chic scarf, sunglasses, and a brooch that added a layer of refined elegance to his restrained charisma. Fans are already buzzing about what he will wear to the main event.

STAYs, mark your calendars! The Dior Fall-Winter 2026-2027 Collection Show is scheduled for March 3 at 2:30 PM (Paris Time), which is 10:30 PM KST. Get ready for Hyunjin to take Paris by storm!

To build the hype, they will also be dropping a pre-release track on March 9. This quick turnaround demonstrates their hunger and work ethic, especially following their hands-on involvement in their recent digital single, From KickFlip, To WeFlip.

During the tour, the boys treated their fandom, WeFlip, to an electrifying setlist featuring hits like “Mama Said,” “FREEZE,” and “Like A Monster.” They also showcased their versatility with unit stages and a nostalgic full-group cover of label seniors GOT7’s hit song “A,” proving they have the performance chops to carry the JYP legacy.

BTOB’s powerhouse vocalist Seo Eunkwang has successfully wrapped up his first-ever solo concert in Taipei, delivering an unforgettable night of emotion and musical mastery to his local fans.

On January 27, Eunkwang took to the stage at LEGACY TERA in Taipei for his solo concert titled ‘My Page’. This event was particularly significant as it marked his first solo performance in the city and his first solo show in over five years and five months, generating immense anticipation among the global fandom, Melody.

Building on the momentum from his successful ‘My Page’ concerts in Seoul and Busan last December, Eunkwang brought his tour overseas, proving his enduring popularity. The announcement of the Taipei stop alone had sparked a wave of excitement, and the artist did not disappoint.

kicking off the show, Eunkwang greeted the audience with heartfelt sincerity. “It’s my first solo concert in Taipei, and it feels different from performing with BTOB,” he shared. “I feel both nervous and excited. Since you’ve waited and supported me for so long, I’ll give you my very best.”

True to his word, Eunkwang filled the setlist with tracks from his first full-length solo album, ‘UNFOLD’. He performed a sweeping range of songs including the title track “Greatest Moment,” “My Door,” “Last Light,” “Parachute,” “Monster,” “When the Wind Touches,” “Glory,” “Love & Peace,” and “I’ll Run to You.” By performing the entire vocal tracklist of the album, he took fans on a narrative journey touching on themes of resilience, love, and gratitude.

The concert reaffirmed Eunkwang’s status as one of K-Pop’s top-tier vocalists. His ability to convey deep emotion—from the pain of wounds to the liberation of courage—resonated deeply with the audience, creating a powerful atmosphere of connection.

Following the successful conclusion of the show, Eunkwang expressed his gratitude through his agency, BTOB Company. “Since it was my first overseas solo concert, I was very nervous. But hearing Melody’s voices and feeling their support melted away my tension and filled me with happiness,” he said. “I want to promise once again that I will sincerely sing by my fans’ side forever. I truly love our Taipei Melody.”

With this Taipei performance, Seo Eunkwang continues to expand his global footprint as a solo artist, strengthening the unbreakable bond he shares with fans around the world.

The wait is finally over for Inspirits! INFINITE leader Sunggyu has made his highly anticipated return to the solo spotlight, dropping his 6th mini-album, OFF THE MAP, after a long hiatus of two years and eight months.

Known for his distinct vocal color, Sunggyu is back to doing what he does best. The new album blends his signature emotional tone with rich, resonant band sounds, offering a mature and layered musical experience. During a press interview in Seoul, the idol-turned-CEO opened up about the deeper sense of responsibility he feels now that INFINITE is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

“Seeing so many fans still come to our concerts made me feel like I truly need to repay them,” Sunggyu confessed. However, wearing the hat of the CEO of INFINITE Company has given him a dose of reality regarding the industry. He jokingly admitted, “Production costs are no joke,” noting that he now fully understands the delicate balance between artistic ambition and the cold hard facts of business expenses.

As the group enters its 16th year, the bond remains unbreakable. Sunggyu expressed immense pride not just in their stage presence, but in their endurance as a team. “What I value most isn’t just our performances, but our willingness to stay together for so long,” he shared, highlighting the rare longevity that INFINITE enjoys in the fast-paced K-Pop world.

Beyond the recording studio, Sunggyu has been busy on the theatrical stage, recently taking on the challenging role of ‘L’ in the musical Death Note. While he admitted the role came with pressure, he emphasized the unique joy that performing in musicals brings him.

Reflecting on his legacy, Sunggyu cited a poignant thought from Epik High’s Tablo regarding what it means to be an artist. “Tablo once answered the question, ‘What kind of singer do you want to be remembered as?’ by saying, ‘I just hope people remember me at all.’ I really related to that,” Sunggyu laughed. Ultimately, his goal is to provide comfort through his music, hoping his songs serve as a soundtrack to the listeners’ joy and sadness.

Sunggyu’s new title track, “When I Think About You,” and the full mini-album OFF THE MAP were released today at 6 PM KST. Check out the release and witness the evolution of one of K-Pop’s most reliable voices.

If you thought you knew everything about the enigmatic King of K-Pop, think again. G-Dragon has taken fans on a mystical journey through time, revealing a past life persona that is as specific as it is surprising.

On February 28, the BIGBANG leader released a new video titled ‘G-DRAGON – 2026 ‘FAM’ MEETING VCR #2 GD’s Day (Larry’s Day)’ on his official YouTube channel. The content featured a fascinating hypnotherapy session where GD underwent age regression to unlock memories from a previous existence.

So, who was G-Dragon before he was the fashion icon and musical genius we know today? According to his trance state, he was a man named Larry. Describing his vision, GD stated, “I am wearing a suit and have a lot of facial hair. It feels like England.” He identified his past self as a teacher, likely specializing in poetry or literature—a fitting precursor for a modern-day lyricist.

The narrative took an interesting historical turn when ‘Larry’ described traveling by ship to Joseon (historical Korea). He recounted gaining popularity there and living a full life with a wife and children, whom he loved dearly. However, the session delivered an unexpected emotional punch when the hypnotist asked who he loved the most in that lifetime. Without hesitation, G-Dragon replied, “Mom.”

Reflecting on that life’s end, GD noted he had no regrets and valued the concept of “sharing” above all else. Bringing the session back to the present, he shared a poignant wish for his current life: “I hope this life can be a peaceful place. I hope it can be a life where I achieve peace through music.”

From a British poetry teacher in the Joseon era to a global K-Pop superstar, G-Dragon’s soul journey seems just as artistic as his reality.
