'Thirty, Nine' caught the viewers' eyes with its shocking development.

According to Nielsen Korea, an audience rating research company on February 18, the second episode of JTBC's 'Thirty, Nine', which aired the day before, recorded an audience rating of 5.076% (based on paid households).

This is a 0.67%p increase from the previous 4.406%.

On this day's broadcast, Cha Mi Jo (Son Ye Jin), who started a new meeting, and Jeong Chan Yeong (Jeon Mi Do), who are parting, drew attention.

On the other hand, Jang Joo Hee (Kim Ji Hyeon) felt strange emotions at the kindness of Chinatown president Park Hyeon Jun (Lee Tae Hwan).

In particular, Cha Mi Jo burst into laughter with Kim Seon Woo (Yeon Woo Jin)'s active expression of the heart.

Meanwhile, when Cha Mi Jo found out that Jeong Chan Young had stage 4 pancreatic cancer through a phone call from her senior, the mood of the drama changed.

Cha Mi Jo visited Chan Young's ex-lover Kim Jin Seok (Lee Mo -Saeng) and cried, "I'm going to kill you."

It was revealed that Jeong Chan Yeong is the one who died on episode 1.

Filled with extreme sadness, 'Thirty Nine' is aired every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30 PM.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
