As autumn breezes start to cool off this overly humid summer in Seoul, the last of the summer concerts are here! From water festivals and returning city festivals after years inside due to COVID, this summer has been jam-packed with all kinds of festivals. We have been reviewing as much as we can for you and today we’re discussing the most anticipated Hip-Hop festival, Rapbeat! The annual Rapbeat festival is a large two-day festival showcasing the best of Korean Hip hop & R&B as well as international acts that usually act as headliners. This is the first one in several years and it did not disappoint. It had headliners consisting of CL , Simon Dominic , Loco , Amine , Lucky Daye , and Audrey Nuna performing over a two-day festival at Seoulland . All of the bigger festivals, like the recent NFT festival , have been held on their picnic grounds and have been filled with thousands of people. This festival was held on the main grounds as well as at three smaller stages spread throughout the amusement park. Most of the main acts were held at the "Rapbeat Stage" with some of them at an amphitheater deemed the "Chillax Stage" a bit of a walk away. Smaller acts performed at the "Phooey Stage" at the front of the park with DJs constantly performing all day at the "Boogie Stage" (where you can boogie all day, of course!) Before attending, many attendees planned to hop between stages, but it proved to be hard to do because of how far the stages were from each other. The fan-favorite acts of Saturday were definitely CL and PH-1 , both performing on the main stage. PH-1 performed early in the day to tons of adorning rap fans and CL was the first headliner later in the night. 2NE1 fans waved their light sticks while hip-hop fans jumped along to her solo songs. She has defined quite a career in the last year or so since she left YG and performed some of her newer works as well as old classics like "Dr. Pepper". Check out one of her performances below! (CL, Rapbeat Festival 2022) Lucky Daye was the main headliner of Saturday and we got an exclusive look into his life. We got a seat in the VIP lounge for his set. The clear view above all the fans was amazing! He had such a great stage presence and a velvet-like voice. He performed for close to an hour in a red leather suit that had most of the girls swooning as he sang his Grammy-award-winning love songs. He closed the show and everyone was left wanting more. (Lucky Daye, Rapbeat Festival 2022) Saturday night, we had the chance to actually meet Lucky Daye at the official afterparty at Club LIVIN in Gangnam. Turns out he was a friend of a friend from America! He was so kind and carried the same on stage persona and charisma. We hung out at the afterparty with several other celebrities where the club catered to everyone with bottles and great care. It was truly a reminder that if you want to see a piece of the limelight, head out to Gangnam for a night out! You’ll never know who you will see! (LIVIN Club, 2022) The festival continued on Sunday! The "Chillax Stage" had Shaun and Bloo performing, so we made sure to head over there during those times to relax and enjoy! Shaun performed with his former bandmates from his band The KOXX and serenaded the crowd early in the day. But sadly shortly after his set, a typhoon came in. The festival quickly turned into a water festival as heavy rain and strong winds came and even knocked out the power to the stage! (Since, Rapbeat Festival 2022) At this point, many fans were worried that the festival would be canceled. But Korea doesn’t stop for anything, not even a typhoon! Soon everyone got ponchos and umbrellas to power through the storm (Though it should be noted that while you couldn’t have an umbrella at the "Chillax" or "Boogie Stage", you could at the main stage.). Fans jumped and danced in the pouring rain as if there was no care in the world. It was amazing to see! Artists asked if the fans were okay and all of them begged for the show to go on. And so it did! (Deepshower, Rapbeat Festival 2022) Saturday’s headliners were Simon Dominic and Amine ! Simon Dominic commanded the stage with great presence! He has been performing for over 10 years and it really showed with how naturally he performed, even taking out his ear piece to show how he can perform without it. You could really hear the male fans rapping along, they were the loudest in the crowd! He did have his fair share of girls screaming about how handsome he was too. (Simon Dominic, Rapbeat Festival 2022) The final performance was Amine and we were shocked by how many fans he had. During Lucky Daye ’s performance, a lot of the crowd had dwindled out as it was the last show, but Amine ’s crowd was packed. He performed with high energy, often jumping all around the stage. He reassured the stage with a call and response, “You’re Beautiful!” “I know!” The crowd screamed their response and giggled with how silly it was, but it kept the mood and energy up in the drenching rain. His positive energy definitely ended the festival right. (Amine, Rapbeat Festival 2022) It was truly a festival that can proudly say it came back with a bang. Every artist performed wonderfully and the show went on through a typhoon. There are some extra performances below that you can check out! Let us know which was your favorite and if you would like to go next year! (Bloo, Rapbeat Festival 2022) (Shaun, Rapbeat Festival 2022) (Loco, Rapbeat Festival 2022)

#offwhitemaybach #offwhite #maybachproject Off-White fans now have another project to cheer about as Mercedes-Maybach unveiled its final chapter of Project Maybach, its partnership with the late artist, architect, and fashion designer, Virgil Abloh. The project which includes the limited edition bespoke S-class electric show car with a capsule collection was finalized right before Abloh's passing in November of 2021. Maybach lovers can appreciate the unique exterior two-toned colorway. The upper in a glossy obsidian black and the lower part of the vehicle is in a "sand hue" tone.

#moneyheistkorea #netflix #dramareviews Riding on the success of the original hit series La Casa De Papel (Money Heist), Netflix has given Korea a shot at telling its own version of the criminal mastermind crew led by the Professor ( Yoon Ji Tae Oldboy 2003 ). The first look of the action-packed thriller has been released and is scheduled to premiere on June 24. Many Money Heist fans are criticizing this series claiming that it is "just a remake of the original version", but Netflix has stated that this time will be a little different. In a plot twist, Korea is on the verge of reunification, and the Joint Security Area - the current Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) - is the basis of the location of the mint which is the focus of the story. The new mint represents a new unified currency and is the groundwork for a stable joint economy. The new Money Heist crew will need to overcome a joint task force led by a South Korean negotiation specialist and a North Korean agent. The 12-episode crime series is directed by Kim Hong Sun ( L.U.C.A.: The Beginning 2021 ) and brings together a star-studded cast including Kim Yun Jin ( Lost 2010 ) and Park Hae Soo ( Squid Game 2021 ). "I was intrigued by the premise of the remake because not only is it about the conflict between robbers and police, but also it adds new layers such as the tension, mistrust, and harmony between North and South Korea. [It is] a situation where thieves from North and South Korea join forces, and police from North and South join hands to stop their way, [adding] a Korean lens to the original IP." - Ryu Yong Jae (Writer for Money Heist Korea) The teaser highlights the iconic red jumpsuits and will switch to traditional Korean Hahoe (하회탈) masks were worn by Korean actors in the 12th century in rituals, ceremonies, and performances. Park Hae Soo, who plays Berlin in the upcoming drama, was sent an 'iconic' Dali mask from the original series by Spanish star, Pedro Alonso (the original Berlin). Here is a video of Park Hae Soo thanking Pedro Alonso. Korean fans are excited to see their rendition of the action-packed series. The original Money Heist was known for its superb storytelling and intricate details of each character. Korean drama has also rivaled the very best in storytelling and character development in the past several years. We can't wait to see what this series has to offer!
