  • Wanna One Reunion After 7 Years: Full Comeback News and What Fans Can Expect!

    Wanna One members to reunite for their highly anticipated 2026 comeback project (Credits: Swing Entertainment) After seven years of waiting, iconic K-pop group Wanna One is finally coming back, and fans around the world are celebrating. The group that was formed through Produce 101 Season 2  in 2017 has officially announced a special reunion project planned for the first half of 2026. This news has brought immense excitement to longtime fans known as "Wannables" . This is not just speculation. The comeback has been officially confirmed, and here is everything you should know! A Legendary Group Returns Wanna One debuted in 2017 through the survival program Produce 101 Season 2  and quickly rose to become one of the most successful K-pop groups of their generation. With hit songs like "Energetic", "Boomerang", and "Burn It Up", they gained massive popularity in a short time. However, their activities officially ended in 2019 after a final concert, leaving fans heartbroken. Since then, the members have focused on solo careers, acting projects, and different music ventures. Even so, fans never stopped hoping for a reunion. On January 1, 2026, a short teaser video titled “2026 Coming Soon We’ll Meet Again” was released on the official Mnet Plus channel. The video showed a nostalgic cassette tape along with a brief clip of their emotional song "Spring Breeze". It ended with the phrase "We Go Again", clearly hinting that a reunion was in preparation. What Is the Reunion Project? Instead of announcing a new album immediately, Wanna One confirmed that their reunion will begin with a new reality television program. The purpose of the show is to reconnect with fans and allow viewers to see the members naturally interacting together again. According to the official statement, all members agreed that a variety program would be the best way to meet fans first, as this format is something Wannables truly enjoy. The show is scheduled to air in the first half of 2026, and more details are expected to be revealed soon. This project marks the first time in years that all eleven members will participate together in a group activity that fans can watch. Wanna One (Credits: Swing Entertainment) Members’ Emotional Messages What has made this reunion even more meaningful is the way the members personally addressed fans. In early February, handwritten letters from all eleven members were shared, expressing their excitement and gratitude about reuniting after such a long time. Many of them spoke about how special their time as Wanna One was and how thankful they feel toward fans who continued to support them throughout the years. These sincere messages have made the reunion even more emotional and highly anticipated. Why This Reunion Matters This comeback is important not only because Wanna One was one of the most influential third-generation K-pop groups, but also because a full group reunion after so many years is rare. Members have built individual careers under different companies, which often makes scheduling group activities difficult. The fact that all eleven members have agreed to reunite shows their strong bond and their appreciation for fans. Even though the project starts with a reality show instead of new music, it still represents an important chapter in their story. What Comes Next? While the reality show is the only confirmed project for now, fans are already hoping for more. Many are wondering if the reunion could eventually lead to new music releases or even concerts. There has been no official confirmation about albums or tours yet. However, the overwhelming excitement surrounding the announcement proves that demand is very high. For many fans, this reunion already feels like a celebration of memories, growth, and the group’s lasting impact on K-pop. Final Thoughts Wanna One’s 2026 comeback may not begin with a traditional album, but it carries deep emotional meaning. It is a reunion that honors their journey and the fans who never stopped waiting. Whether you supported them from their debut days or discovered them later, this moment is special for many. The return of Wanna One reminds everyone why they were so loved in the first place. Are you excited to watch their reality show? What moment are you most looking forward to seeing again? #WannaOne #ParkJiHoon #reunion #KangDaniel

  • BTS: The Untold Truth Behind Their Global Rise

    From near-bankruptcy to music history, we have the secrets you never knew about the Bangtan Boys! BTS - Credit: https://altselection.ouest-france.fr The Bangtan Revolution The globally successful boy band BTS rose from a nearly bankrupt agency. At the time, the agency prioritized raw vulnerability over the standard "perfect idol" factory model. Their journey from shared dorms to the United Nations redefined what it means to be a global pop icon in the digital age, and thanks to BTS , Korea has become a must-visit destination. The Underdog Narrative and Big Hit’s Gamble Going back to the start, where there was simply a lack of funds for traditional TV promotions, Big Hit Entertainment focused its promotion on social media. Social media allowed them to showcase never-before-seen moments of the group's more human side and unpolished look. This underdog position that Big Hit used actually created a deep, tight bond with the youth generation, who were all over social media. In the past, many fans felt ignored by mainstream media, though social media allowed fans to feel connected to their favorite bands and members. This allowed BTS and their management to cash in on the latest trends while spending very little. This really has helped them with their global rise! The BTS Universe BTS really has utilized an intricate multi-platform narrative. From music videos and books to merchandise and livestreaming, casual listeners and fans have turned into dedicated investigators and serial streamers. This "BTS Universe" fostered long-term intellectual engagement and a sense of shared mystery among the global fanbase. This really has helped them with their global rise and global fame, while at the same time being able to promote K-culture and Korea worldwide. Cultural Diplomacy and Soft Power BTS has been able to fully transition from wannabe musicians into global cultural ambassadors. Thanks to their remarkable work, they have contributed billions to the Korean economy—it has been reported that around $5 billion annually—and they have even been invited to speak at the United Nations (UN) . BTS really have been able to prove that language is no longer a barrier to entry when it comes to the world's most influential movements. Their 2026 "Arirang" world tour is projected to generate nearly $2 billion in revenue, proving their unmatched ability to drive global tourism and international interest in Korean culture. The Digital Age of Social Media BTS has spoken out directly to their fans through livestreaming and unedited YouTube logs, which have then been shared on other SNS accounts, including X. These unedited videos have allowed them to gain an instant following. Fans have welcomed BTS into their homes at the click of a button, and this is one of the reasons behind their global success. This direct access allowed them to build a massive, borderless digital infrastructure long before Western radio took them seriously. The Dojeon team has also watched some of their livestreaming events, and we agree that the streaming numbers are impressive. Fan Responses BTS's dedicated fanbase, ARMY , is more than just a simple fandom. They are a highly organized global fanbase, which translates content and manages massive campaigns. As 2026 is the historic year of the group's post-service reunion and global tour, ARMY's response proves that the bond between BTS and their fans is rooted in mutual growth, rather than mere celebrity worship, which is found too often. Final Thoughts The Dojeon team firmly believes that the untold truth is that BTS’s success was built on a foundation of radical honesty and a symbiotic relationship with their fans, which made them accessible in every corner of the globe. In 2026, they stand not just as performers, but as the definitive architects of a new, decentralized era of global music. BTS has also proven that the distance between a small agency in Seoul and a stadium in New Jersey can be bridged by nothing more than a shared story and the courage to be vulnerable, which for many K-pop idols today has become easier and easier thanks to BTS's early success. After everything they have given to the world, the Dojeon team does wonder: in a music industry often obsessed with fleeting viral moments, how did seven ordinary men manage to build something so extraordinary that it became a permanent fixture of our collective history?

  • Is She a Victim or a Killer? 5 Reasons To Watch Park Min-young and Wi Ha-Joon’s “Siren’s Kiss”!

    Park Min-young and Wi Ha-joon star in the mysterious new thriller K-drama Siren’s Kiss (Credits: tvN) A new Korean drama is quietly taking over K-drama fans’ watchlists — and it’s Siren's Kiss . Even though the drama didn’t create massive hype before release, viewers who have already watched the first two episodes are completely hooked. Starring Park Min‑young  and Wi Ha‑joon , the drama mixes mystery, crime, psychological tension, and slow-burn romance into one gripping story. The story follows Cha Woo-seok, a former police officer who now works as an investigator in an insurance company. His job is to uncover insurance fraud cases and expose people who try to scam the system. Meanwhile, Han Seol-ah is a famous chief auctioneer at a top luxury auction company. She is known for her elegance, confidence, and strong reputation in the art auction world. Siren's Kiss (Credits: tvN) But things take a strange turn when Woo-seok receives an anonymous tip accusing Seol-ah of being connected to a murder linked to insurance money. As he starts investigating her, he discovers something disturbing: many of Seol-ah’s past lovers died mysteriously. Even stranger, each of them had life insurance policies with Seol-ah listed as the beneficiary… but those policies were cancelled just one day before their deaths. Is it all just a coincidence? Or is there something much darker behind these deaths? Here are five reasons why Siren’s Kiss  is already becoming one of the most addictive K-dramas of the year. 1. A Shocking Opening That Hooks You Instantly Some dramas take a few episodes to become interesting, but Siren’s Kiss  grabs your attention right from the first episode. The drama opens with a shocking incident that immediately sets the mood for the story. The mysterious death that happens early in the series leaves viewers with many questions and creates a strong sense of suspense. From the very beginning, the drama builds a dark and mysterious atmosphere. Every scene feels important, and the story keeps dropping small hints that make viewers curious about what will happen next. If you enjoy thrillers that keep you guessing, this drama will hook you from the start. 2. Park Min-young’s Cold and Mysterious Character Siren's Kiss (Credits: tvN) Park Min‑young plays Han Seol-ah, and her character is one of the most interesting parts of the drama. Even after watching the first two episodes, it is still hard to understand what kind of person Seol-ah really is. Sometimes she looks like a normal office worker who is simply tired from her demanding job. Other times, she appears extremely ambitious and competitive about maintaining her powerful position in the auction company. But then there are moments when she feels almost scary quiet, cold, and unpredictable. The drama even shows her secretly taking pills, hinting that she might be dealing with emotional or mental struggles. What makes Seol-ah so fascinating is this mystery around her. She can look like a victim in one scene and a possible suspect in the next. This uncertainty makes viewers constantly question her true intentions. 3. Wi Ha-joon Finally Gets a Powerful Lead Role Siren's Kiss (Credits: tvN) Fans of Wi Ha‑joon are especially excited about this drama. After many supporting roles in popular shows, he finally gets a strong lead character that fully shows his acting skills. He plays Cha Woo-seok, a former police officer who now works in an insurance investigation team. His job is to catch people who commit insurance fraud, especially cases where human lives are treated as a way to earn money. Woo-seok is serious, determined, and very good at reading people. But as his investigation gets deeper, his feelings toward Seol-ah may slowly start to change. The ending of episode two already hints that his mission to expose her might become much more complicated than he expected. 4. The Drama Highlights the Reality of Insurance Fraud One of the interesting parts of Siren’s Kiss  is that it focuses on insurance fraud — a crime that many people don’t know much about. Insurance scams involving fake accidents or suspicious deaths are becoming a serious problem in many countries. The drama uses this real issue as the base of its story, showing how money and greed can sometimes push people to make dangerous choices. By bringing attention to this topic, the drama adds a realistic layer to its mystery and makes the story feel even more intense. 5. The Chemistry Between the Leads Is Already Intense Siren's Kiss (Credits: tvN) Even though the story has just begun, the tension between Woo-seok and Seol-ah is already very strong. Woo-seok sees Seol-ah as his main suspect, while Seol-ah seems calm and mysterious whenever he questions her. Whenever the two characters appear together on screen, the atmosphere becomes tense. It feels like they are both trying to read each other while hiding their real thoughts. At the end of episode two, Seol-ah even asks a chilling question about who the next man in her life will be. This moment leaves viewers wondering whether Woo-seok will remain the investigator trying to expose her, or could he become the next man drawn into her dangerous world? Where to Watch Siren's Kiss Siren’s Kiss  premiered on March 2, 2026 , on the South Korean television network tvN . The drama is scheduled to run for 12 episodes and will air until April 7, 2026 , with new episodes releasing every Monday and Tuesday. As of now, the first few episodes have already been released. For international viewers, the drama is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video with subtitles. While Korean audiences can watch the episodes on tvN during their broadcast schedule, If you enjoy mystery, psychological tension, morally complex characters, and slow-burning romance, Siren’s Kiss  is definitely a drama worth adding to your watchlist. Do you think Han Seol-ah is a victim of unfortunate coincidences, or could she actually be the mastermind behind the mysterious deaths? #SirensKiss #WiHaJoon #ParkMinYoung

  • Jennie Officially Named the Most Searched Female K-Pop Idol of 2025!

    From viral solo hits to breaking the internet at Paris Fashion Week —see the numbers that prove Jennie Ruby Jane is still the #1 Global It-Girl! BLACKPINK's Jennie - Credit: https://www.highsnobiety.com BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim has officially reclaimed her throne towards the end of 2025. Following a year of success in both her solo career and as a member of BLACKPINK, Jennie has taken some creative risks: her first full-length solo project and her own label, Odd Atelier . This milestone isn’t just about numbers—it’s a testament to her transition from a group member to a fully realized global solo force. A "Global Force" in Fashion and Music Beyond the music charts, Jennie’s 2025 was defined by high-profile fashion and music that kept her in the public eye all year round. She was honored with the Global Force Award at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music , making her the first Korean soloist to receive the title. This made history and, at the same time, elevated her presence at major events! Later, she was able to showcase her talent at the Melon Music Awards (MMA)—where she opened with a 15-meter veil inscribed with Korean poetry. These created "water cooler" moments that dominated social media discourse and made her go viral across all social media platforms. Fan Reactions K-pop fans, including our writer Lewis Hooper, love Jennie. She is an independent woman who is stunning and talented. Fan reaction to Jennie's 2025 dominance has been a mix of awe and vindication. BLINKs have taken over social media and blog sites, including Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), celebrating this achievement as "the year the 'Ice Queen' became the 'Industry Standard.'" The Dojeon team could not agree more with this bold statement. Fans have noticed that Jennie's 2025 searches were not just about "it-girl" status but about her musicality. "Ruby isn't just a K-pop album; it's a personal diary," one fan noted on Reddit. This has led to Jennie's artistic shift in the entertainment industry. While some viral clips, especially from the MMAs , suggested "dull" reactions from younger idols, fans quickly defended Jennie, pointing out that her performance was a high-art theatrical piece that left the audience "stunned into silence" rather than just a dance track. This could be a 'senior' respect moment, as Jennie has been in the K-pop public eye for some time now compared to newer breakthrough artists. The "Ruby" Era Domination The Dojeon team believes that one of the main drivers behind Jennie's search surge was the release of her debut studio album, Ruby . Jennie released this successful album back in March 2025, and since its release, the album has seen Jennie take a hands-on approach, participating in the production of all 15 tracks. Thanks to the success globally, search interest spiked as fans and critics alike scrambled to dissect her collaborations with heavy hitters like Childish Gambino , Doechii , and Kali Uchis. The lead single, "Mantra" , and the visually stunning "Seoul City"   became instant viral sensations, keeping her name at the top of Google and YouTube trends for months and even into early 2026. Competitive Landscape While Jennie took the #1 spot, the 2025 search rankings show a fiercely competitive field. Close behind her were Karina (aespa)  and her own groupmate Rosé , who saw a massive surge following the global "APT." craze, which the Dojeon team still plays to this day. However, Jennie’s strong ability to maintain search dominance throughout the entire year—leveraging both her solo album and the announcement of BLACKPINK’s Deadline world tour—gave her the edge needed to secure the top position. Here at Dojeon Media, we could not think of a better person to take this throne! Final Thoughts Jennie’s 2025 wasn’t just a comeback; it was a rebranding. Here at Dojeon Media, we really do believe that by stepping away from the more traditional routes of an idol, Jennie has been able to embrace and rebrand her visuals and music. Her identity as "Jennie Ruby Jane" has proved that her influence is independent of any group name. Being the most searched female idol in an era of "Generation 5" newcomers shows that her "It-Girl" status isn't a trend—it’s a legacy. Can Jennie hold onto this success throughout 2026? Why do you think Jennie is the most searched female K-idol of 2025? Comment below and let the team know! #Jennie #BLACKPINK #JennieRubyJane #MostSearchedFemaleIdol #Jennie2025 #KpopQueen

  • Will Kim Sae-Ron Appear in “Bloodhounds” Season 2? What the Trailer Reveals!

    Woo Do-hwan and Lee Sang-yi return in the action-packed trailer for Bloodhounds Season 2 (Credits: Netflix) Fans of the hit action K-drama Bloodhounds  finally have something exciting to talk about. The long-awaited Season 2 trailer has officially been released, and it already promises more intense fights, darker enemies, and a bigger story for the beloved duo at the centre of the drama. The first season of Bloodhounds  became a fan favourite thanks to its powerful mix of brutal action, emotional storytelling, and strong friendship between its main characters. Now the new season is preparing to raise the stakes even higher. But along with the excitement surrounding the trailer, one question keeps appearing among fans online: Will Kim Sae-ron appear in Season 2? Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming season and what viewers can expect! The Bloodhounds  Season 2 Trailer Hints at a Bigger and Darker Story Season 2 once again follows the story of the loyal boxing partners played by Woo Do-hwan  and Lee Sang-yi . In the first season, the two fighters joined forces to take down a dangerous loan shark organization that preyed on people struggling with debt. Their journey was filled with intense battles and emotional moments that made viewers deeply invested in their friendship. Bloodhounds Season 2 (Credits: Netflix) The new trailer suggests that the world of Bloodhounds  is expanding. This time, the story moves into the shadowy world of illegal underground boxing, where powerful figures manipulate fighters and matches for money and control. As Gun-woo and Woo-Jin step deeper into this dangerous environment, they will once again need to rely on their strength, loyalty, and determination to survive. Rain Joins Season 2 as a Dangerous New Villain One of the biggest surprises revealed in the trailer is the addition of Rain  to the cast. The star joins the new season as Baek Jeong, a powerful and ruthless figure connected to the underground boxing world. Unlike the enemies in the previous season, this new villain appears to operate on a much larger scale, controlling fighters and high-stakes matches from behind the scenes. Rain’s strong on-screen presence is expected to add a new layer of tension to the series. His character looks set to become the main obstacle standing in the way of Gun-woo and Woo-jin as they try to stop the criminal activities happening within the brutal fighting network. With such a powerful antagonist entering the story, Season 2 could become even more intense than the first! Bloodhounds  Season 2 (Credits: Netflix) Will Kim Sae-ron Appear in Bloodhounds Season 2 ? After the trailer was released, many viewers started wondering whether Kim Sae-ron might appear in the upcoming season. In Season 1, she played Cha Hyun-joo, a character connected to the loan shark organization and someone who interacted with the main characters during the unfolding conflict. Kim Sae Ron's Still from Bloodhounds Season 1 (Credits: Netflix) However, during the production of the first season, changes were made to her role, and many of her scenes were reduced before the series was released. As for Season 2, the newly released trailer does not show her character, and there has been no confirmation that she will return to the story. Because of this, it is very unlikely that Cha Hyun-joo will appear in the new season. Even so, many fans still remember her role in the original storyline and continue to discuss how the character might have developed if circumstances had been different. Could Season 2 Include a Tribute to Kim Sae-ron’s Character? Another question fans have been asking after the release of the new Bloodhounds  Season 2 trailer is whether the show might still acknowledge the character originally played by Kim Sae-ron. In the first season of Bloodhounds, Kim Sae-ron portrayed Cha Hyun-joo, a character closely connected to the story’s central conflict. Although her role was reduced during the final edit of Season 1, she was still an important part of the early storyline and helped shape the world the main characters were navigating. Since Season 2 will continue the story from where the first season left off, some fans are wondering if the creators might acknowledge her character in some way. This could include brief flashback moments, references to past events, or even short clips from Season 1 that help maintain continuity in the storyline. Of course, nothing like this has been confirmed by the production team yet. Still, many viewers believe that even a small reference could serve as a meaningful way to connect the new season with the story that began in Season 1 When Will Bloodhounds   Season 2 Be Released? The second season of Bloodhounds  is set to premiere on April 3, 2026 , exclusively on the global streaming platform Netflix. Season 2 will consist of 7 episodes , and since it follows Netflix’s usual release format, all episodes are expected to drop together on Friday, April 3 , giving fans the chance to binge-watch the entire season in one go. Bloodhounds  Season 2 (Credits: Netflix) What Fans Can Expect From the New Season of Bloodhounds Season 2 ? From the short preview alone, it’s clear that the next chapter of Bloodhounds  will push its characters into even more dangerous situations. The action appears more intense, the villains more powerful, and the world around the characters more unpredictable. With Gun-woo and Woo-jin once again stepping into a brutal fight against powerful criminals, the story promises plenty of suspense and adrenaline. With a new villain, bigger battles, and the return of the fan-favorite boxing duo, Bloodhounds  Season 2 is already creating huge excitement among viewers. Are you excited to see Gun-woo and Woo-jin return in Season 2, and do you think they will be able to defeat Rain’s powerful new villain? #Bloodhounds2 #Season2 #Rain #WooDoHwan #LeeSangYi #KimSaeRon

  • How Does K-Pop Influence Gen Z vs. Gen Alpha? The Difference Is Huge!

    K-pop is now one of the biggest trending music genres in the world. With recent successes such as Kpop Demon Hunters , BTS , BLACKPINK , and Katseye taking over the Grammys in 2026 , Gen Z and Gen Alpha are experiencing K-pop in a much different light than 10 to 20 years ago. We break down how K-pop has not only influenced a new generation, but also how this new generation is living it! How They Discover K-pop From the beginning, Gen Z (born from about 1997 - 2012) discovered K-pop through YouTube recommendations, Tumblr, and Twitter. It was something new and different . They were often recommended YouTube videos as they "fell down the rabbit hole" and found groups like BTS and BLACKPINK, groups that were formed when they were toddlers. Far from being a global genre at that time, K-pop was a niche that catered to a specific audience. Gen Alpha (born around 2010 - 2025), on the other hand, have been immersed in K-pop since they were born. Following TikTok trends before they really knew it was a K-pop song, Gen Alpha learned to discover 4th generation idols like NewJeans , Stray Kids , and IVE . To Gen Alpha, K-pop isn't "foreign", it's just part of their everyday media. Relationship to Music How both of these generations react to purchasing music is also very interesting. Gen Z consumes K-pop by eras rather than moments . They're able to sit down and listen to a full album and care about lore and album concepts. They purchase a K-pop album to collect their favorite bias's photocards. BC Card released "BLACKPINK Cards" (Credits: BC Card) Gen Alpha cares more about the 10-15 second hook. If they can dance to it (preferably while being filmed), the album is a "go". Not only are they interested in the sound, but the visuals have to match its energy. Cultural Global Perspective Gen Z may take pride that they helped make K-pop "popular" or "normal" to Western audiences. They experienced it as groundbreaking and global and took pride in supporting non-Western artists. BTS's hit song "Dynamite" was released in 2020 (Credits: BigHit Music) Gen Alpha doesn't see language as a barrier, although many K-pop songs now contain English lyrics. Having grown up in a post-"Dynamite" world, Gen Alpha feels that global pop has always been multilingual. The Core Difference While Gen Z made K-pop mainstream, Gen Alpha was born into K-pop being mainstream . Gen Z remembers when Western award shows were a big deal if a K-pop artist was mentioned, let alone winning an award. Charting on Billboard's Top 100 was another groundbreaking moment that Gen Z thought was shocking. Gen Alpha assumes that K-pop charts globally and that many K-pop idols often/normally collaborate with Western artists. And, of course, it is very normal that a K-pop song trends on TikTok. Final Thoughts So what are your thoughts about how K-pop influenced your generation? Are you team Gen Z or team Gen Alpha? Let us know in the comments below on how K-pop has changed your perspective on global pop culture! #GenZ #GenAlpha #Globalpopculture

  • “No Tail To Tell” Episodes 9 & 10 Delayed: New Release Date, Where To Watch, and What Happens Next

    No Tail to Tell (Credits: SBS) Fans of No Tail to Tell  were understandably excited for the drama’s ongoing weekly episodes, but recent updates have caused a slight delay in the highly anticipated Episodes 9 and 10. If you’ve been following the fantasy romance series and wondering why the latest episodes didn't air as originally expected, here’s the latest verified information on the delay, when the next episodes will air, where to watch them, and a recap of what has happened so far. No Tail to Tell  has been one of 2026’s standout Korean dramas with a mix of comedy, romance, fantasy, and mythology that has drawn audiences worldwide. With its unique twist on the gumiho legend and charming leads, the show has steadily gained an enthusiastic fanbase. No Tail to Tell (Credits: SBS) Synopsis: What No Tail to Tell Is About No Tail to Tell  follows the story of Eun Ho ( Kim Hye-yoon ), a gumiho, or nine-tailed fox, from Korean folklore. Unlike most gumihos who seek to become human, Eun Ho enjoys her magical life, relishing her eternal youth and freedom. Her world is predictable and carefree until she encounters Kang Si-yeol ( Lomon ), a highly successful and narcissistic professional soccer star who seems to have the perfect life. A strange accident forces Eun Ho to become human, setting off a series of unexpected events. Suddenly navigating the human world without her powers, she must deal with emotions, relationships, and the chaos of mortal life, all while her interactions with Si-yeol grow more complicated and heartfelt. What Happened in Episode 8 of No Tail to Tell ? Episode 8 focuses on Eun-ho finally opening up about her feelings for Si-yeol, though she admits her interest comes from curiosity about dating rather than pure romance. Her honesty leaves Si-yeol conflicted but intrigued, setting the stage for a quietly emotional turning point between them. While spending time together after volunteering, Eun-ho looks into the life of Hwang Dong-sik, only to learn about his tragic past and death. Moved by his story, she urges Si-yeol to help the family, revealing her growing empathy and deepening their bond. No Tail to Tell (Credits: SBS) The episode also highlights Si-yeol’s leadership during a local football match, where his skills bring unexpected unity to the team. Eun-ho watches him with admiration, slowly realizing that her feelings are becoming more real than she expected. The day ends with a heartfelt date at Namsan Tower , where they share honest fears about memory, loss, and separation. Si-yeol’s confession that he doesn’t want to be forgotten leads to a tender kiss, leaving viewers with a bittersweet sense of love and uncertainty. Why Episodes 9 and 10 Were Delayed Originally, Episodes 9 and 10 were expected to air on February 13 and 14 , continuing the drama’s Friday and Saturday schedule. However, due to special holiday programming during the Lunar New Year (Seollal) , the network opted to pause new episode broadcasts for one week. This is a common practice in Korean television during major holidays to allow audiences to celebrate and spend time with family without missing episodes. No Tail to Tell (Credits: SBS) When and Where the Next Episodes Will Air The good news is that both Episode 9 and Episode 10 are now rescheduled to premiere as part of the regular lineup following the short break. Episode 9 is scheduled to air on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 9:50 p.m. KST . Episode 10 will follow the next day, Saturday, February 21, 2026, at 9:50 p.m. KST . For those watching outside of Korea, No Tail to Tell  is streaming globally on Netflix, with new episodes typically becoming available shortly after their Korean broadcast. This means international viewers can watch the latest instalments with subtitles a few hours after they air in Korea, depending on regional availability. Shop now at our online store! Final Thoughts The brief delay of No Tail to Tell  Episodes 9 and 10 was a small bump in what has otherwise been a consistent broadcast schedule. With both episodes now set to continue the story on February 20 and 21, 2026, fans have plenty to look forward to as the series moves toward its finale. Whether you’re watching for the fantasy worldbuilding, the evolving romance between Eun Ho and Si-yeol, or the humor sprinkled throughout, the upcoming episodes promise more emotional twists and magical moments. Are you excited to see what happens next when the episodes resume? Which moment from the first eight episodes has stayed with you the most?
