K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) is taking over Seoul’s Lotte World Adventure later this month, shutting down the theme park to host an exclusive comeback celebration for 1,000 fans.

Cha Eun-woo spotted riding Seoul subway in military uniform
ASTRO member and actor Cha Eun-woo has once again drawn attention during his mandatory military service, this time after a video apparently showing him riding a Seoul subway train in uniform went viral online. The footage, reportedly filmed by a fan while on Seoul Metro Line 4, has circulated widely across social media and online communities. It shows a man believed to be Cha standing among ordinary passengers, wearing a military uniform and a cap pulled low over his face. Despite the cap, his distinctive facial features and sharp jawline caught viewers' attention. The overseas fan who uploaded the video said they initially told an acquaintance that the man resembled Cha, only to be told that it was actually the K-pop star. The apparent sighting has added to growing interest in Cha's everyday life during military service. Another recent online post said Cha had been seen at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, an upscale neighborhood in Seoul's Gangnam district. Cha's appearances outside the entertainment industry have repeatedly attracted attention since he enlisted. In July, haegeum player Sh
Veteran pianist Paik Kun-woo urges young musicians to seek wider musical world
Pianist Paik Kun-woo on Tuesday urged young musicians to broaden their musical horizons and find their own artistic paths, ahead of the release of an autobiography marking the 70th anniversary of his career. Paik, one of Korea's most celebrated classical musicians, made his debut performing a piano concerto with a local orchestra in 1956 at age 10. He later trained at New York's Juilliard School and built an international career through performances at prestigious concert halls and collaborations with renowned orchestras and conductors. Reflecting on a career spanning seven decades, Paik is set to publish the autobiography, roughly translated as "Paik Kun-woo: My Story," on Nov. 20. The autobiography traces his childhood, studies in New York, decades spent in Europe and his musical encounters with the works of composers including Beethoven, Chopin and Schumann. "What I experienced during my 65 years living abroad is, in a sense, both my personal history and Korea's history," Paik said of his motivation for writing the book during a press conference in Seoul. "By telling this story, I tho
Actor Zo In-sung embraces artistic challenge in 'Possible Love'
For actor Zo In-sung, starring in master director Lee Chang-dong’s latest movie "Possible Love" means both a career peak and a profound journey of self-discovery. "Possible Love,” which clinched the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival and has been selected as Korea’s official entry for International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards, centers on two couples whose lives collide during a documentary project, exposing hidden desires and social divides. In the Netflix original film, the 45-year-old actor plays Sang-woo, a wealthy heir who embodies a multilayered nature of capital and power. "Working with director Lee came as a complete surprise," Zo told The Korea Times during an interview at a cafe in Seoul on Tuesday. "While I was on a set of ‘Humint,’ I got a call that director Lee was asking about my schedule. I was thrilled, but at the same time, I wondered if I could live up to such a great opportunity. It felt like facing another massive mountain to climb." Working under Lee’s thorough direction required Zo to strip away artifici
