South Korea has crowned a new king in the most popular drama series this year! The "taxi squad" made up of hilariously diverse characters has beaten the new global hit "The Glory" as Korea's most-watched drama series! Let's take a look at why this is! "Taxi Driver 2" was cited by the media outlet, Gallup Korea, as the top most-watched tv series drama! The survey was conducted on 1003 Korean individuals from ages 18 and older from April 17 - April 20, 2023. According to the survey results, "Taxi Driver 2" beat out "Mr. Trot 2" and Netflix's "The Glory" as the preferred program! On April 16, the day after the season 2 finale aired, the producer from the show announced that there will be a season 3! The season 2 finale earned higher viewership ratings than the season one finale! It also set a new record for the highest ratings achieved by a mini-series of 2023 so far! So why do Koreans prefer this light-hearted action series over the dark, brooding "The Glory"? We give you four reasons why! 1. Koreans love to laugh at slapstick comedy! It's hard to understand Korean humor sometimes. A little jab at someone's family could end up becoming something a lot more serious than intended. Therefore, stand-up comedy isn't very popular. Instead, shows like "Running Man" and "Great Escape" tend to do really well and run on for many seasons. "Taxi Driver 2" provides a lot of innocent, child-like humor that everyone can enjoy. Without the need to put other characters down. Very vanilla. 2. Every case is about two episodes long. The format for "Taxi Driver 2" is a lot different than that of "The Glory" . Each case that the "taxi squad" takes out lasts for only two episodes therefore the audience doesn't have to sit through the whole series to find out what happens. If you've never been to South Korea, Koreans have a "ppalli ppalli culture" ( 빨리빨리), which literally translates to "hurry hurry" or "quickly". Koreans have very little patience in their everyday lives, so concluding a case within two episodes or one week, is very convenient for the audience. 3. It is very easy to follow. Unlike "The Glory" , "Taxi Driver 2" is very linear in terms of the timeline and story. Sometimes, there are flashbacks to fill the audience in with background information, but for the most part, the audience doesn't have to do much thinking. "The Glory" , on the other hand, has a very complex and intricate storyline that spans over 15 years. It is engaging and takes more effort to focus on what is going on, making it more difficult for many Koreans to stay engaged for over an hour. 4. A sense of well-deserved justice. There have been many complaints about several scenes in "The Glory" including many of the bullying scenes where there is no filter or censorship making Koreans feel a little uncomfortable. Bullying is a big deal in South Korea, therefore, making the story a little too realistic for many viewers. "Taxi Driver 2" , on the other hand, takes care of the bad guys very cleanly and neatly, without showing the gory stuff. In addition, since "Taxi Driver 2" tends to be a little more fictional so it hits less close to home for many Koreans. So that's it for our reasons! Let us know if you agree or not! If not, let us know your reasons and if you're waiting for season 3! #taxidriver2 #theglorypart2 #theglory #leejehoon

A K‑pop invasion at Coachella? Here's the line-up you didn’t see coming: Katseye , BigBang , and Taemin are all taking over the top spots for 2026's lineup! Read on for more details! Image:   Katseye, BigBang, and Taemin - Photo: Soompi Coachella 2025 was a festival that the world couldn't stop watching. Thanks to the exclusive sets from K-pop artists such as LISA and JENNIE from BLACKPINK, as well as ENHYPEN . These performances cemented K-pop's place on one of the world's biggest music stages. The Dojeon Media team is gearing up and preparing to cover the event next year, and fans are taking over social media with excitement as well. Two years after BLACKPINK shattered records as the first Korean headliners in 2023, their legacy opened the floodgates — and this year’s performances proved that K-pop isn’t just participating in the global music scene. It’s leading it. The line-up here is actually amazing, from Western to Eastern musical talents; this festival is really something special. Coachella is a festival that has been streamed, written about, and documented fairly heavily in the past couple of years. In the US, this is the festival for the Gen Z audience, and the organizers have tapped into this, by booking trendy K-pop artists for the next festival! Gen Z Gen Z is more open to exploring music in different languages, and K-pop has played a major part in this. It has helped to break down language barriers. Thanks to its catchy melodies, dynamic performances, and strong fan engagement (mainly thanks to social media), festivals like Coachella are embracing this change and, at the same time, welcoming a diverse international crowd. K-pop and agencies K-pop groups and their agencies are embracing being asked to big international festivals, like Coachella and in the UK, Glastonbury . It helps expand their brand, and at the same time, can increase their media visibility and grow a fan base outside of their usual circuits. So being welcomed to overseas festivals is beneficial for both the festival organizers and the artists, which is why, at times, payments for artists are lower than you might think. Some artists have been known to perform for free, in return for being on the main stage to gain more visibility. Final thoughts With Coachella taking over the Gen Z market and with the rise of K-pop within Western music markets, there is no doubt in our minds that the collaboration between the two will be a big success. On the other hand, some festival goers are concerned that the rise in Eastern music, such as K-pop, is slowly pushing out homegrown artists in the US. What are your thoughts on K-pop artists performing at Coachella? Will you be booking tickets to Coachella 2026? Why do you think K-pop acts are welcomed to US festivals?
