1st-gen K-pop is coming back as Fin.K.L, Fly to the Sky, Son Ho-young return
As K-pop's newest generation competes for attention, some of the industry's original stars are stepping back into the spotlight. Fin.K.L, Fly to the Sky and g.o.d's Son Ho-young are all preparing new music activities, bringing a wave of first-generation K-pop nostalgia to an industry now dominated by much younger acts. The returns are particularly notable because they are not limited to performances of old hits: The veteran artists are preparing new releases and longer-term activities after years away from their respective music careers. Fin.K.L, one of the defining girl groups of K-pop's first generation, is making a full-group return after about 21 years. Gemstone E&M, which is overseeing the group's comeback, announced Sept. 21 that all four members — Lee Hyo-ri, Ock Joo-hyun, Sung Yu-ri and Lee Jin — would resume activities together. It marks Fin.K.L's first full-fledged group activities since the 2005 digital single "Forever Fin.K.L." Following the group's hiatus, Lee Hyo-ri and Ock continued their careers as solo singers, while Sung and Lee Jin focused primarily on acting. The fo
Civic group to rally outside actor's home over film 'The Assassin(s)'
A conservative civic group said Friday it will hold rallies outside the home of actor Yoo Hae-jin to protest alleged historical inaccuracies in his film "The Assassin(s)." The New Freedom Solidarity said it submitted plans to the police to stage rallies outside Yoo's home in northern Seoul at 4:30 p.m. every day starting Saturday until the end of the month. The movie, which features Yoo in a leading role, deals with the 1974 assassination of former first lady Yuk Young-soo, the wife of late former President Park Chung-hee. It has drawn intense backlash from conservative groups and politicians, who argue the film maliciously implies Park was behind the incident. "We are asking the actor to also appear in right-wing movies so that there is a political balance," Kim Sang-jin, the leader of the civic group, told Yonhap News Agency. "There are many things we could raise suspicions about too, and we want him to appear in (films about them) too." The film's production team has said the work was not intended to draw a new historical conclusion or deny or distort established facts.
CJ ENM wins 7 national titles at Asian Academy Creative Awards
CJ ENM won national winner titles in seven categories at this year's Asian Academy Creative Awards and will compete for the top regional prizes in December, the Korean entertainment company said Friday. "The Legend of Kitchen Soldier," a military kitchen comedy on CJ ENM's streaming platform Tving, took two titles — best comedy and best original production by a streamer. "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty," a romance streaming on Netflix about a modern chef who travels back in time to cook for a Joseon-era king, won best drama series. "Dear X," a Tving thriller directed by Lee Eung-bok, won best direction for a scripted program, while Lee Won-woong's boxing survival show "I Am Boxer," which streams on Disney+, won the nonscripted direction category. "Undercover Chef" won best general entertainment, game or quiz program, and the dating reality show "EXchange 4" won best nonscripted entertainment. Three of the winning titles — "The Legend of Kitchen Soldier," "Dear X" and "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" — were produced by Studio Dragon, CJ ENM's drama production unit. The Singapore-based awards
Human prism: Lee Byung-hun
Between “G.I. Joe” and “ Squid Game,” hero and villain, acclaim and controversy, actor Lee Byung-hun has made the space between worlds a stage for his brilliance. A defining figure of Korean cinema, he absorbs the light and shadow of his time, refracting contradictory elements of desires and anxiety through his life and performance. A recent Forbes headline offered an unexpected point of connection: “Oracle Has Cut 21,000 Jobs This Year Due to AI, More Layoffs Expected.” The news of workers confronting an uncertain future echoed themes that emerged in a long conversation with Lee last year — a broader exploration of the human condition in an age when familiar boundaries are increasingly difficult to hold. On a crisp October day, with late autumn settling quietly over Seoul, Lee sat down for an extended conversation at a quiet cafe in Samcheong-dong. The meeting followed a series of encounters at the Venice International Film Festival, in Los Angeles and later in Busan, before the conversation finally continued in Seoul. On screen, Lee possesses the kind of presence that se
Jim Carrey reportedly weds girlfriend believed to be of Korean descent
Hollywood star Jim Carrey has reportedly tied the knot for a third time, marrying his partner Min Ah, who is 32 years his junior, in a private ceremony in Los Angeles. Multiple U.S. entertainment outlets, including TMZ and People, reported Wednesday that Carrey recently held a small, private wedding ceremony in Los Angeles. Min Ah has been described as being of Korean descent, although her Korean heritage has not been officially confirmed. The couple reportedly began dating in 2022 but kept their relationship largely out of the public eye. They made their first official public appearance together in February at the César Awards in Paris, France. Carrey received an honorary award at the ceremony and publicly acknowledged Min Ah during his acceptance speech, describing her as his "sublime companion" and saying that he loved her. The marriage marks another chapter in the personal life of the 64-year-old actor, one of Hollywood's most recognizable comedy stars. Born in 1962, Carrey married Melissa Womer, an actress and former waitress, in 1987. The couple had a daughter, Jane Carrey, before d
BTS named 'honorary guests' of Bogota ahead of Latin America tour kickoff
Global K-pop phenomenon BTS has been designated "honorary guests" of Bogota, an official honor recognizing the group's contribution to culture and youth influence, ahead of the start of its Latin American tour, the group's label said Friday. BigHit Music said the title was conferred by the mayor of Bogota, the capital of Colombia, on the septet for helping raise the international profile of Korean music and culture since its 2013 debut and influencing younger generations. The honor is given to prominent visitors who have contributed to citizens' welfare or urban development in various fields, such as politics, public service, the arts, sports, science and education. BTS is set to kick off the Latin American section of its ongoing "Arirang" world tour with two shows at the Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campin, commonly known as El Campin, in Bogota on Friday and Saturday (Colombian time). City officials said they expect the concerts, which mark the group's first full-group performance in the country, to provide a significant economic boost. The Bogota tourism organization estimated that spen
'The Assassin(s)' actors to skip BIFF events amid controversy over historical inaccuracies
Actors who starred in "The Assassin(s)" will not attend events at the upcoming Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), the film's distributor said Friday, amid allegations over historical distortion in the Korean film. The decision comes after some critics raised concerns that the historical film, which deals with the 1974 assassination attempt on then Korean President Park Chung-hee, resulting in the death of the first lady, implies that Park or intelligence authorities were possibly behind the case. "After careful consideration, and taking into account the safety of audiences and attendees, we have decided not to participate in the BIFF's opening ceremony or the Outdoor Stage Greeting scheduled for Oct. 7," Hive Media Corp. said in an English-language statement posted on its social media account. Lead actors Yoo Hae-jin and Lee Min-ho were set to take part in the opening ceremony scheduled for Tuesday, while director Hur Jin-ho, actor Park Hae-il and the other two actors were set to participate in the outdoor event the following day to introduce the film. An "Actor's House" program,
