Super Junior is back! Well, sort of. Lee Dong Hae is looking better than ever as he stars in a new romantic comedy, Oh! Young Sim ! The K-pop star will be joined by Song Ha Yoon (Oh Young Sim) in this 10-episode K-drama scheduled to premiere on May 15! Let's take a look! ENA and Genie TV released a teaser and promotional poster of its new drama Oh! Young Sim earlier this week. ENA is the studio that produced hit shows such as Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Love Is For Suckers ! We can't wait to see what this new drama has to offer! Oh! Young Sim is based loosely on the Korean comic “Yeolnesal Youngsimyi” by Bae Geu Taek (published in 1988 via the comic magazine IQ Jump). The original comic focuses on Young Sim as a 14-year-old teenager and her family and friends. The drama series follows Young Sim as a woman in her 30s. Oh Young Sim ( Song Ha Yoon Intimate Strangers 2018) is a single career woman in her 30s. She has been producing TV variety shows for eight years in hopes of making people laugh. But all of her shows have been canceled due to their lack of popularity. Young Sim gets a chance to produce a love entertainment show and casts popular startup CEO Mark Wang ( Lee Dong Hae ) as a guest. In true K-drama fashion, Mark Wang is actually Wang Kyung Tae, Young Sim's childhood friend who had a long-time crush on her but never had a chance to express how he felt. Mark suddenly moved to the United States and lost touch with Young Sim. 20 years later, the two bump into each other and are constantly around each other due to the filming of the show! We can't wait to see what sparks fly as they build romantic feelings toward each other! Oh! Young Sim is scheduled to premiere on May 15, 2023 , and will run every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM on ENA and Genie TV . Let us know what you think and if are you excited about this new drama! #donghae #songhayoon #ohyoungsim

"Obsolete" to Essential: How Y2K Nostalgia Turned Plastic Discs Into the Ultimate 2026 Fashion Statement. Why is Gen Z saving the humble CD? - https://fi.pinterest.com/ CDs have literally been around for decades, and for most of us, they became outdated thanks to the MP3 or digital downloads. So why has there been a sudden resurgence of CDs recently? 2026 is the peak streaming era, and while carrying a disc has not yet moved to a full-blown trend, the high visibility and aesthetics have become popular. So let's check out why! The Accessory of the Moment As big tech continues to grow, Gen Z is looking for simpler things in life. CDs and DVDs were moved from living rooms to bins; they are now moving back into the home. The iridescent sheen of a disc serves as a futuristic neutral that complements the high-gloss, synthetic fabrics currently dominating the runway. While many K-pop acts and K-dramas have had a more retro feel during their popularity. The Experience As more people get fed up with 'big tech', many of us want that old-school feel. These days, many people suffer from ADHD or anxiety, which was sadly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. There has since been a real value in having something with a mechanical "click", and a CD player certainly does that. This sensory engagement from a CD player provides a grounded, mindful alternative to the often mundane touch screens and mindless online scrolling. The K-Pop Catalyst Thanks to the rise of K-pop globally, it has literally kept the once-outdated CD on the minds of many. While streaming your favorite songs is a quick and easy thing to do, for many, unboxing and clicking the play button is often a way for K-pop fans to feel more connected to what they are listening to. That, mixed with the rise of one-off album covers and limited-edition idol merchandise, has led to the CD rising in sales globally. Some of these "unboxing" traditions have gone mainstream, driving a global demand for hardware that can actually play the discs tucked inside the photobooks. For some of the Dojeon Media team, we remember waiting outside the music store for new CD releases and signing events! So we totally understand why they are finding their way back into the market. K-Pop Acts With the Highest CD Sales Early 2026 has seen an increase in CD sales thanks to K-pop acts. Seventeen currently holds the record for the highest-selling K-pop album of all time with 6,392,515 copies for their 2023 release, FML. Get ARIRANG today! BTS made their historic comeback in early 2026, and this has also shifted the landscape. Their latest studio album, Arirang, sold a staggering 3.98 million copies on its first day alone and has already crossed the 4.75 million mark as of March 2026, which is expected to continue to rise. Final Thoughts The Dojeon Media team really loves the nostalgic feel that CDs bring to the table. It is less about returning to the past but more about having that classic good feeling. Also, by turning what is often viewed as 'outdated' tech into something more modern, it opens it up for a new generation to enjoy what was once a high-tech item during its peak. Can K-pop really help bring back old tech like it has with the humble CD? #PhysicalMedia #MusicIndustry #CDCollection #Y2KFashion #GenZTrends #NostalgiaCore

Americans know Valentine's Day to be a day when we give candies and flowers to our loved ones. Valentine's Day falls on February 14th of each year. But what if I told you that there's a different type of Valentine's Day happening in Korea in November? Welcome to Korea's version of Valentine's Day, Pepero Day ! The exact origins of Pepero Day are not known. It can be traced back to a news story in 1983 of two middle school girls in the Yeongnam region that wanted to be tall and thin while exchanging Pepero snacks . Some argue that the origins started with the date, November 11, or 11/11, resembling Pepero sticks. There was a popular belief, at the time, that if one consumed 11 packets of Pepero on November 11 at 11:11 pm at 11 seconds exactly, they would achieve maximum height and thinness! In 1997, Lotte decided to use the middle school story to successfully promote Pepero Day. The trend has caused many competitors creating similarly shaped snacks to participate during this day. As of 2012, Lotte was making 50% of its annual sales on Pepero Day. So what do Koreans do during this "holiday"? Pepero Day is similar to America's version of Valentine's Day. Koreans typically give Pepero to children, co-workers, friends, or family members. Many young Koreans will usually take this day to express their feelings for crushes or people they like! They will often be creative and send a basket of Pepero snacks with some flowers as gifts! Here are some interesting facts about Pepero Day (According to Korea Times): 1. Pepero Day is reportedly the most profitable day for convenience stores all year. 2. Up to 30 percent of all annual Pepero sales occur within a week of Pepero Day, according to Consumer Report Korea. 3. The plain Pepero has fewer calories than the almond-flavored one. 4. The entire length of all Pepero sticks ever sold can circle the circumference of the Earth, 250 times ! 5. According to a dating agency, seven out of 10 people "do not think exchanging Peperos are necessary." So what are your thoughts about this fun and quirky Korean "holiday"? Which K-pop idol would you like to receive a Pepero from? Let us know in the comments below!
