#southkorearocketlaunch #southkoreaspace #southkoreasatellitelaunch GOHEUNG, South Jeolla Province -- South Korea has opened a new chapter in writing its own space era as it was able to launch its first rocket into space on Tuesday, June 21st at 4 pm. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute in Goheung, South Jeolla Province was able to launch the 200 metric ton homegrown rocket, the Nuri rocket (KSLV-II), after eight months of improving technical problems that caused the early shutdown of the third-stage rocket engine. Nuri comes from the Korean word for "world". The three-stage rocket was able to reach its target orbit of 700 kilometers. This marked South Korea as the seventh nation in the world to develop and launch a satellite greater than 1 ton. The successful launch has given hope to the rest of the nation with dreams of landing a lunar module on the moon by 2031. Check out the launch video! According to the KARI, rocket Nuri blasted off at 4 p.m., as scheduled, after a 10-minute countdown. The first stage of the rocket separated from the rest of the rocket 2 minutes and 3 seconds after the launch. KARI’s Antarctic Sejong ground station received confirmation from the satellite at around 4:42 p.m., showing that the satellite was in a stable position. The station is located at King George Island, one of the largest South Shetland Islands, lying 120 kilometers off the coast of Antarctica. At around 8-9 p.m., the satellite was to send beacon signals that help the station verify whether it is still on track and facing the sun. At around 3 a.m. Wednesday, KARI‘s Daejeon ground station was to receive data including the exact timeline of the separation process of the rocket and its orbit data. The government-led project of developing the three-stage, liquid-fueled carrier rocket, weighing 200 tons and standing 46.2 meters tall, took 12 years. The total budget cost the project 1.9 trillion won ($15.1 billion). More than 300 South Korean companies participated in the supply of rocket components. South Korea plans to carry out the Nuri Acceleration Project, from 2023 to 2027, which will send four additional rockets to space to boost the reliability of the Nuri space rocket and promote private enterprises that develop satellite projectiles. The government has secured a budget of around 680 billion won, according to Goh Jung Hwan, director of KARI’s KSLV-II (Nuri) research and development directorate. This is an amazing feat by South Korea! It shows that not only is South Korea capable of exporting soft culture, but its technology is up to par with the top nations in the world! Let us know your thoughts on this momentous occasion! Would you want to travel into space?

Image: The main baddie of Study Group (Photo: IMDb) What does the future of K-drama look like? The future of K-drama isn't waiting – it's here. And it's embodied by a dynamic group of young actors already commanding attention with their compelling back-to-back performances and résumés that hint at even greater things. Remember the haunting portrayal by Lee Jun Young in When Life Gives You Tangerines ? Felt the spark between Choo Yeong Woo and Ju Ji Hoon in The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call ? These moments are just the beginning. Their distinct talents and magnetic hold on the screen are not just earning them fans – they're solidifying their place as the vanguards of K-drama's next chapter. Cha Woo Min Image: The main baddie of Study Group (Photo: IMDb) Think you know him? You might recognize him from Study Group , but this actor has already graced our screens in Buried Hearts , Melo Movie , and the intense Weak Hero Class 1 . But let's be honest, it was his chilling turn as Pi Han Wool, the unforgettable villain in Study Group , that really grabbed our attention, right? Even though he's been so captivating as the bad guy, something about his off-screen charm makes you wonder – and maybe even hope – to see him in a swoon-worthy romantic lead someday, perhaps even in his upcoming drama, Love Entangled . What do you think? Lee Jun Young Image: Lee Jun Young - Photo: mydramafandom.com You might recognize him best from the heart-warming K-drama When Life Gives You Tangerines , where he stole scenes—and maybe even your heart — as Park Yeong Beom, Geum Myeong’s devoted first love. Even if you've seen him in other K-dramas and movies like Brave Citizen , Melo Movie , or The Impossible Heir , it was likely his sweet, innocent, and caring portrayal in When Life Gives You Tangerines that truly made him memorable. Though his character didn't win the girl, his performance certainly captured your attention, and with upcoming projects like 24 Health Club and Weak Hero Class 2 , you'll have more opportunities to see his talent shine. Choo Yeong Woo Image: Choo Yeong Woo - Photo: IDNtimes.com You most likely know him best from the gripping medical series The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, where his portrayal of Yang Jae Won, and perhaps more importantly, his dynamic chemistry with Ju Ji Hoon, likely made him a standout for you.

In fact, his character even became a popular meme, which you might have encountered, further highlighting his impact. Keep an eye out for his upcoming roles in Mercy for None and Gyeon- Woo and the Fairy to see more of his work. Bae Hyun Sung Image: Leaving his boy-next-door persona behind (Photo: screencap from Gyeongseong Creature 2 , Netflix) You might recognize him from his heartwarming roles as the sweet and sometimes naïve characters in beloved K-dramas like Hospital Playlist   and Our Blues . But if you've watched Gyeongseong Creature 2 , you were likely as stunned as I was by his incredibly compelling and surprisingly sexy portrayal of the villain. He truly held his own opposite the impressive talents of Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee , delivering a performance that had everyone buzzing. Knowing his previous work in Family by Choice , and with Dear M   on the horizon, it's clear he's an actor with remarkable range to keep an eye on. Our thoughts Ultimately, these actors' recent success underscores a significant opportunity for aspiring K-drama stars: the power of transformation. Embracing diverse roles, even those drastically different from early work, can be a powerful catalyst for wider recognition and career growth. As the global appetite for K-dramas expands, so too does the potential for actors to showcase their range and captivate audiences in unexpected ways.

Lee Sang Yi ( My Demon 2023-2024) stars as Bok Gyu Hyeon, a business owner who does not believe in

The Defect  Episode 8 Moments (Credits: ENA) What if a child could be returned like a faulty product? The Defects  takes this disturbing idea and turns it into a chilling thriller. This K-drama exposes a hidden world where adopted children are judged, and those deemed “unfit” are sent back—only to face a much darker fate. A Disturbing Premise Based on the webtoon Child Shopping , The Defects  follows a corrupt adoption network disguised as a charity. On the surface, it helps orphans find families. In reality, it runs like a cruel market, where children are treated as products and “refunded” if they are not considered perfect. Behind it all is Kim Se-hee, a respected hospital director who secretly uses the scheme to push her idea of “superior genes.” The Defects (Credits: ENA) The Survivors’ Fight Among the victims is Kim Ah-hyun, once abandoned through this system. She grows up carrying the scars of her past but also the will to fight back. Leading a group of survivors, she sets out to destroy the people who wronged them. Woo Tae-sik, a former enforcer of the scheme, begins to change sides, while a trained killer named Jung-hyun is tasked with silencing the children who escaped. The Defects (Credits: ENA) Episode 8 — Finale Recap (Major Spoilers) The finale ended the story with raw emotion and high tension. Ah-hyun and the other survivors sneaked into Se-hee’s compound just as parents arrived to “return” their children like unwanted goods. Things quickly spun out of control. The police stormed in. Fights broke out. Trusts were shattered in seconds as people chose between loyalty and survival. In the lab, Ah-hyun finally came face-to-face with Se-hee. She aimed a gun at her, but instead of pulling the trigger, she spoke a few final words and walked away. Left alone, broken, and stripped of her power, Se-hee took her own life. The children were finally rescued. The show closed with a quiet scene, the survivors gathered for a simple meal. They were hurt, but free, and beginning to heal. The Defects Episode 8 Still (Credits: @frap_pey/X) Why the Finale Lands The final episode combines intense action with profound emotion. It answers the main question: who pays the price when lives are treated like experiments? The ending is not neat or clean. Justice comes in a complicated way, and not everyone gets what they deserve. Still, it leaves space for the survivors to heal and rebuild. And it leaves the audience thinking about the lasting scars such cruelty can leave behind. The Defects (Credits: ENA) Cast and Characters Yum Jung-ah  as Kim Se-hee  – A respected doctor and adoption charity head hiding a chilling secret. Won Jin-a  as Kim Ah-hyun  – A survivor of the “defect” system, determined to bring it down. Choi Young-joon  as Woo Tae-sik  – A man torn between his past as an enforcer and his growing conscience. Dex  as Jung-hyun  – A cold, skilled killer raised to serve the organization. Where to Watch The Defects The Defects  aired on K-Plus TV in South Korea and was streamed internationally on Kocowa and Viki with English subtitles in select regions. The series ran for 8 thrilling episodes, now fully released for viewers to binge from start to finish.
