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)

#bigmouth #빅마우스 #leejongsuk #yoona Disney+ and MBC 's hit series Big Mouth ended its 16-episode run with the highest viewership rating yet! The final episode, aired on September 17, accrued a 13.7% viewership nationwide, good for second in its time slot, according to Nielsen Korea. But high viewership does not necessarily translate to a great drama. We break down the pitfalls of the final episode! * Contains spoilers! Short Recap During episode 15, we are taken aback by the news Ko Mi Ho (played by YoonA ) receives at the hospital when she has been diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. She contracted radiation from the underground accident while trying to save the prisoners, but keeps this news to herself. With this information, she is ready to take down Mayor Choi as she knows for a fact that the underground water pipes from the fish farm are filled with radiated water. Back to the finale when Park Chan Ho ( Lee Jong Suk ) is facing Mayor Choi ( Kim Joo Hun ) during a mayoral televised debate. As the two try to take each other down by exposing past secrets, Mi Ho travels to the fish farm to obtain video admittance from the farm's owner that the water used has been contaminated by NK Chemical, the company where Mayor Choi is the majority owner. Once verified on video by the farm's owner, Mi Ho rushes to the television station to play it during the mayoral debate. This news ultimately strikes up an investigation of Mayor Choi's involvement in the matter and a court date is set. Meanwhile, Mayor Choi wins the election and assumes his duties once again as the Mayor of Gucheon. During the trial, the lack of evidence against Mayor Choi is found and Mayor Choi is set free. How does Chan Ho get his revenge? Although so many things are set in motion, we can't forget that Mi Ho's time is limited as she eventually cannot fight off her cancer anymore and passes away peacefully in Chan Ho's arms. At the end of the episode, we find out that Chan Ho has bought the building where Mayor Choi is always seen swimming with his wife. Chan Ho has refilled the pool water with the contaminated fish farm water. As he approaches Mayor Choi getting out of the pool, we witness Mayor Choi spitting out blood as he dies from radiation poisoning. What about the ending? We had high hopes for this drama as it proved to be a winner throughout the series. It finally came down to the final 10 minutes of the finale when we were sorely disappointed at how the drama finished. Rushed black and white flashbacks of trying to wrap up all the loose ends without much explanation really killed the drama for us. The quickness of the episode from Mi Ho's fast death to a rushed ending without an explanation of what happened to Mayor Choi's wife left us in disbelief! We wish there would be a season two to wrap up everything with more time, but that might be a long shot! Let us know your thoughts about this drama! Do you think it ended well? Should there be a season 2?

#adamas #jisung #seojihye tvN's Wednesday and Thursday primetime slot crime/thriller Adamas wrapped up its 16-episode with more questions than answers. The finale, aired on September 15, received much viewership (ranked 2nd during its timeslot at 3.358% nationwide) according to Nielsen Korea . We tackle the tough question of whether or not there will be a second season! * Contains Spoilers! After the death of Chairman Kwon, the successor of Haesong Group is up for grabs and surprisingly, Eun Hye Soo ( Seo Ji Hye Kiss Sixth Sense 2022), ends up with the reins in her hands. This shift in power turns the tables as what we thought would balance the good guys from the bad guys did not turn out to be that way. In fact, Hye Soo decides that by taking over Haesong Group would be part of her revenge on her husband and son of Chairman Kwon. Another plot twist is the revenge plot between Ares' Team A leader and Song Soo Hyun ( Ji Sung The Devil Judge 2021). What ends up happening with how Team A leader disposes of Soo Hyun's body in the ocean is still up for grabs and has fans reeling in their seats wondering if a season 2 is in the works! Check out some of the comments on Twitter! Many confused fans are wondering if Soo Hyun is alive or not since Ha Woo Shin (his twin brother) receives a mysterious letter saying Soo Hyun is still alive. We find that the ending falls flat leaving nothing new to the audience. We are left wondering if justice will be served as the Team A leader decides to face a court sentence instead of running. We are also not sure whether Eun Hye Soo will wield her power as the new CEO of Haesong Group to her advantage as well. The ending scene with Ha Woo Shin holding the real Adamas with a slight smile on his face suggests that there might be a continuation in the story. Let us know your thoughts on this drama! Did you enjoy it? Will there be a season2?

BTS JK 🐰 : " ah I want to eat ramen. Why do I want to eat ramen so much? I do tests about my body, and they said flour ( gluten ) isn't right with my body. so I can't eat ramen, but I want to eat ramen so badly right now. " But he kept smiling and happy, singing for ARMY and answering their questions. Here's Jungkook's birthday cake they gave him for his birthday, it was rabbit shaped and had no flour ( gluten ) and was set with grapes from the top. It is very sad and unfortunate that Jungkook is prevented from eating the things he loves, especially on his birthday! Jungkook loves eating ramen!

Jungkook in the past tweets 🍜: After this event, many ARMY members decided to stop eating ramen with Jungkook! Others were praying for him to get well. Do you think this is because of magic?

#netflixdrama #narcosaints #parkhaesoo Popular Netflix 's Korean drug trafficking tv series Nacro-Saints has been issued a warning from the Suriname government regarding a "misleading portrayal of the country" on September 15. The small country of about 613,000 people on the northeast coast of South America has been the backdrop of the six-part series released on September 9. The Suriname government has threatened to take legal action against Netflix series producers stating the "negative portrayal of the country as a drug trafficking hub is unfair and puts the country at a disadvantage". Albert Ramdin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Monday, "Suriname no longer has the image that emerges in the series or no longer participates in these kinds of practices." He added, "the aspect of free speech must be taken into account, but it's about creating a negative perception the whole world sees these things, so this is not good" about the country's efforts in terminating criminal activities that were portrayed in the series. Narco-Saints is based on the true events of an ordinary Korean businessman, Kang In Gu ( Ha Jung Woo Ashfall 2019) who travels to Suriname for a business opportunity exporting skate (a type of local fish) back to Korea. While working on his business there, he encounters a local drug lord who uses his product for drug shipments. Things go awry between In Gu and the drug lord, "Pastor" Jeon Yo Hwan ( Hwang Jung Min The Spy Gone North 2018) as Chang Ho threatens In Gu to help him ship his cocaine into South Korea. Meanwhile, In Gu poses as an inside-man for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), a secret government agency, to catch Chang Ho. Although Foreign Minister Ramdin has said he is willing to take legal action against the series' producers for alleged defamation, Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it "has not received any official complaint from Suriname since the series has been aired," and that it is "trying to maintain friendly relations" with the South American country. Narco-Saints is currently ranked third globally in Netflix's TV series. It is the most watched show in eight regions and the 5th most popular series in the United States. Our thoughts. This is a very intriguing show as it shows the life of an ordinary businessman willing to sacrifice himself for the good of his family. Although he doesn't agree with the strategies and methods used by the NIS, he is still determined to make it back home to his wife and children. The acting by the two main characters, Choi In Gu and Jeon Yo Hwan are marvelous! Hwang Jung Min has really pulled off the Korean pastor's look and voice! From a pure entertainment value, we feel this show is a must-watch! Let us know your thoughts about this situation! Should Korea issue a statement of apology? Or since it's a television show, nothing will happen. Source: 1
