BTS ARMY can continue to feel inspired and cheer on their favorite group as Rap Monster aka Kim Nam Joon nervously answers Vogue Korea 's questions during his first personal photoshoot at the Korean Furniture Museum! Let's take a look at what Rap Monster said and how his amazing photos turned out! Posing in front of Korea's Furniture Museum located in the luxurious northern hills of Seoul, Rap Monster slouches on a wooden chair in front of a dark blue painted background in front of a pavilion where scholars during the Joseon Dynasty lived in secluded nature and achieved spiritual cultivation. He seems calm and collected as he answers Vogue Korea's questions! When asked about his creative process, RM states that in his newest album, "Indigo" , he worked with many different artists and was forced to be creative out of his comfort zone of working with only his other BTS bandmates. "I think we should look at life from various angles and fill up our daily pages faithfully and densely. You have to be faithful to your life and to play, so you can work and create well. I try not to forget that creation is only a job after all." - Rap Monster When asked about his fashion style, RM laughed and said that his fashion sense has changed a lot and he tries not to think about it too much. He's always thought about fashion to be a kind of attitude or posture. Nam Joon has always expressed his support and love for Korean art and sculpture. He hopes that the younger generation, like himself, we come to find interest in modern or contemporary Korean art. Nam Joon also expresses his deep thoughts about the overwhelming amount of information in the media today. He says, "When I see people who are still open to new things in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, I am in awe. In the era of "over information," it's an era when you're just 30 years old and tend to become a young old man." We really love that Nam Joon is aware of his flaws and tends to look inward to always improve himself! When asked about his social life, Nam Joon admits that he's lived a very narrow and closed life until the middle of last year. These days, he enjoys bumping into new people, making friends, and working on music. We love this intimate interview with Vogue that really expresses how Rap Monster feels and his current mental state. You can read the whole interview and see his amazing photos on the Vogue Korea website ! What do you think about Nam Joon's maturity? Have you thought about looking inward and seeing what flaws you might have and what you might need to do in order to change? Let us know in the comments below! #voguekorea #kimnamjoon #namjoonxvogue

Coming off its recent comeback "KARMA", PIXY recently performed at the Loft at the Center Stage in Atlanta as a part of its 22-stop U.S. tour. Working with a new K-pop tour promoter Leo Presents, PIXY held its WINXY in awe throughout the whole afternoon and evening! Let's take a look at the concert!

From graceful ballads such as "Still with me (To: Winxy)" to haunting songs such as "Falling", the group did not skip a beat. Similarities to another darker-themed K-pop group, Dreamcatcher , were immediately apparent. However, despite similar themes, each member put their own stamp on the performance. Between Lola’s and Rinji’s lower register raps and vocals and Sua’s, Dia’s, and Dajeong’s vocals, each song stood out. Unfortunately, because of an injury, Lola was not able to fully perform during the show. Other highlights included Dia’s solo stage where she covered Camila Cabello’s "Never Be The Same". Despite being alone on stage, her strong stage presence held the crowd in awe! Fans were able to interact with the idols early; Leo Presents held a full fan sign and group photo session for selected fans prior to the show. After the show, fans were also able to get individual selfies with each member! After Atlanta, the group moved on to perform two last concerts in Orlando and Tampa before returning to Korea.

Dystopian action-packed, and awesome storyline, with top-notch visual effects, Black Knight proves how Netflix 's staggering investment in South Korea's entertainment industry was the right move! Throw in one of the hottest K-drama actors of all time and bam! You have the makings of a Hollywood movie disguised as a television series! Here are three reasons why Black Knight should be at the top of your streaming playlist! Set in the year 2071, the environment and concept of Black Knight have such a refreshing (oops, I mean, not so refreshing?) theme when the air is so polluted that humans must wear gas masks when they go outdoors. The landscape of South Korea has completely been disintegrated by a comet that crashed into Earth and left only as a desert wasteland. The overhead and zoomed-out shots are amazing considering that Netflix decided to leave some of South Korea's most important landmarks (such as the Lotte Tower ). And this leads us to our first reason! Breathtaking Visual Effects! Headed by Korea's best visual effects studio, VFX Studio Westworld, which worked on other dramas such as Sweet Home , Squid Game , and All of Us Are Dead , it is easy to see why the dystopian scenes look so realistic and immersive. Backed by Netflix's $2.5 billion investment in South Korea over the next four years means that South Korea will continue to dominate the global content industry for a while. According to VFX Studio, for the desert scenes, sand was laid on a construction site of 50,000 pyeong ( 165,289 square meters!), and a road was made with about 1 km of soil to digest various scenes filled with VFX. Lee Byeong Ju from Westworld Headquarters said, "The source shooting was conducted in areas such as Bayanjak in Mongolia and Honggorin Els in the Gobi Desert , and expressed as deserts suitable for each environment." Robin Hood Effect Born and raised in the slums, 5-8 was supposed to be dead as he was shot and was ready to be burned with the rest of the refugees that Cheonmyeong Group thought were rioters. Little did they know that 5-8 would exact his revenge because of the way they treated him and the other refugees! Although the story has a classic twist like Robin Hood, it is far from the fantasy ending that the green-hooded hero experienced! Kim Woo Bin is perfect for the role of 5-8! In addition to his good looks, Woo Bin proves that he has the star ability to pull off a Batman-esque role, by not only his stature (he looks towering over the rest of the cast during the drama) but also his demeanor! His deep voice is soothing and at times, very intimidating as he is accused as the killer in the murder of Jung Seol Ah's ( Esom Taxi Driver 2021) sister, Jung Seul Ah ( Roh Yoon Seo Crash Course in Romance 2023). Kim Woo Bin portrays an equal amount of compassion to revenge-mode capacity as he takes a young Yoon Sa Wol (a refugee who idolizes 5-8) under his wing and trains him to be the next great deliveryman.

The time-traveling mystery drama My Perfect Stranger just got stranger! The lead role, Baek Yoon Young ( Jin Ki Joo Sh**ting Stars 2022), travels back to 1987 when her parents were still in high school to ever prevent them from liking each other! Let's take a look at what happened! Spoilers! So why is Yoon Young so adamant about not letting her parents meet? It would also mean that she wouldn't exist in the future right? Something to keep in mind as we continue why! Back to the present, her father, Baek Hee Seob, is a deadbeat drunkard who always causes trouble to Yoon Young and her mother. At the same time, when Yoon Young learns that her mother commits suicide (that's all we know for the time being), she regrets not treating her mother better and despises the thought of living with her dad. So with the back story out of the way, let's get back to episode 4 where in 1987, Yoon Young's young beautiful mother, Lee Soon Ae ( Seo Ji Hye ID: Gangnam Beauty 2018), lives across the street, conveniently, and the two have taken a liking to each other. Yoon Young saves Soon Ae from drowning by class bullies earlier in the season, so the two have now become good friends. Episode 4 starts off with Yoon Young realizing that her mother had her own dreams of becoming a writer and loved to read! She regrets the times when she looked weirdly at her mother, back in the present, when she told Yoon Young to "keep reading, don't let me bother you." While on a class trip, Soon Ae bumps into Yoon Young's father, Baek Hee Seob ( Lee Won Jung New Normal Zine 2022). He is a charming, guitar-playing cool guy that Soon Ae finds irresistible! Smelling trouble, Yoon Young comes to her mother's rescue by hilariously saying "Look at his face! It looks like someone you'll regret being with later on!" As the series continues to develop a deeper bond between mother and daughter, we can't wait to see what other hilarious interactions Yoon Young and her parents will have! What would you do in this situation? Are you liking this drama? Let us know in the comments! #myperfectstranger #jinkijoo #leewonjung #seojihye

Pandora: Beneath the Paradise is a popular Korean drama starring Lee Ji Ah as Hong Tae-ra on an ambitious journey to become the first lady of Korea. Pandora aired its final episode last week, so we totally recommend it for a weekend binge-watch! Aside from its intriguing twists and turns, the show also received buzz for the stunning outfits the lead wears in each episode. So today, we will take a look at the stand-out classic looks from the show! Since the days of Jackie Kennedy, first lady’s fashion has always been making headlines for their classic looks that transcend time and trends. So it only makes sense for our lead actress to have an impeccable fashion sense pairing classic looks with a modern edge! Let’s check out Ji Ah’s top 5 looks from the show! Starting out, we have this business casual look. Ji Ah pairs a white t-shirt and jeans with a black blazer to make this closet staple look office ready. The star of the look here is a Tiffany & co gold charm necklace that ties the whole thing together. A perfect look for a late spring date or an important business dinner. This second look is a classic skirt suit as seen on most female politicians and businesswomen. Ji Ah wears an all-white Christian Dior blazer skirt set for her TV interview in the drama. The blazer’s cut is loose and yet still elegant rather than the oversized boys cut that is rather popular these days. It pairs well with the skirt as it offers a feminine silhouette that is work/church appropriate. This look reminds us that classic is never quite out of style and to never be afraid to return to an oldie in your closet! This third look is more trendy than most of her looks in the show, so we had to mention it as feathers are still all the rage from last year’s Y2K explosion. Our lead wears a white feather-trimmed shirt that you might be seeing often these days. From feather-trimmed jackets to thin disco blouses, feathers are a vintage relic turned chic staple this year. While they often give outfits a funky, hipster look to them, the feathers on the delicate blouse here make her look more high-class than ever! This grungy look is different for her character but highlights the show's theme that looks can be deceiving. Leather jackets over a hoodie is a classic “ I tried but I didn’t try” look for city girls everywhere. And if you didn’t know, Allsaints is a famous brand for leather jackets meant to last for generations to come. If you want a classic leather jacket like hers shown here, we recommend checking the brand out! The last look we will be checking out from the show is this summer-ready number! Pinstripe linen shirts have been worn by girls since the 1800s due to the cool fabric giving a bit of relief from the summer heat. Ji Ah pairs hers with some denim shorts and white sneakers which every fashionista should have on hand. It's a classic summer look you can count on to wow every time! Which one of these looks is your favorite? Any classics you hope to bring out for this summer? Tell us in a comment below! #leejiah #pandorabeneaththeparadise #leesangyoon #jangheejin
