• Here is How Nam Joo Hyuk Has Everyone Falling In Love With Him Again As Baek Yi Jin In “Twenty Five, Twenty One”

    We all want a boyfriend like Baek Yi Jin

    One of the K-drama male leads that generate the most buzz at the moment is definitely Baek Yi Jin of "Twenty Five, Twenty One". From his heart-fluttering lines to gestures, Baek Yi Jin is being “accused” of capturing so many hearts. 

    Baek Yi Jin is a guy who doesn’t try to act romantic, but always says things that make others feel comforted. He knows how to make a girl’s heart flutter, like a simple act of stroking her hair and saying: “Don’t worry”.  

    In the drama, Yi Jin often holds Hee Do’s hand. Like when they are playing with the water faucet and get discovered by the security, he holds Hee Do’s hand and runs away. Or when they spot each other in the crowd at the train station, Yi Jin also runs over and grabs Hee Do’s hand.  

    In the scene where episode 12 of Full House comes out, although Yi Jin initially means to save the book for Yu Rim without Hee Do knowing, in the end he still follows the rules and gives it to Hee Do who comes first. Yi Jin is a righteous man who would not let Hee Do down. 

    Baek Yi Jin isn’t unrealistically romantic, he’s also quite reserved but he always shows up at the right time and acts in a timely manner.  When Hee Do plays with a sports equipment and accidentally breaks Yi Jin’s window, Yi Jin is only concerned for her safety and says, “Don’t move, you’ll get hurt. Wait for me”. After that, he carries Hee Do so she won’t step on the glasses and hurt herself. 

    When everyone gathers in Yi Jin’s room and orders takeout, Hee Do wants to eat sweet and sour pork but can’t buy it because it’s too far away. Yi Jin knows this and secretly prepares the dish for her. 

    Also, every time Baek Yi Jin and Na Hee Do meet, he always looks at her with sparkly and affectionate eyes. It is the unplanned natural temptation like this that makes him even more heart-fluttering. If Baek Yi Jin is not “guilty”, who is to blame?

    Baek Yi Jin is polite and acts like an adult, but when seeing Hee Do in front of the grocery store, he can’t contain his emotions and puts his arm around Hee Do’s shoulders very naturally and says: “Buy me an ice cream!”.

    When a car passes, Yi Jin pulls Hee Do towards him, causing the ice cream to stick to her face, so he gently approaches her and wipes it off little by little. Although there is no underlying intention, it is actions like this that have an even greater impact. Baek Yi Jin needs to take responsibility for his carefree actions!

    Another point that we cannot foresee about Baek Yi Jin is his frankness. When people confess their feelings, they will try to be romantic and cheesy, but Yi Jin just goes on to say: “It’s love. Love. I love you, Na Hee Do. I don’t need a rainbow,” while showing a soft smile. 

    The relationship has not been clearly defined, but Yi Jin’s actions and words prove his feelings towards Hee Do very clearly. Any girl would fall in love with a guy this soft and caring. "Twenty Five, Twenty One" is only entering the second half of its run and this list will certainly continue. So let’s prepare our hearts for more Baek Yi Jin boyfriend moments.

  • IVE Shatters Records With 5th Music Show Win for “Rebel Heart” & 2nd Consecutive Victory, Even Without M Countdown Airing - Here's How They Did It

    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.
