The new Friday-Saturday drama "Big Mouth" on MBC topped the Friday-Saturday drama ratings.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings agency, "Big Mouth", which first aired on July 29 at 10 p.m., received a national daily viewer rating of 6.2 percent on July 30.

This is lower than the 7.0 percent recorded for the previous drama's final episode of "Doctor Lawyer" and higher than the 5.2 percent recorded for the first episode. It also topped "Today's Webtoon" on SBS (4.1 percent).

The plot of "Big Mouth" follows Park Chang Ho (Lee Jong Suk), a 10 percent winning lawyer, as he becomes accidentally involved in a murder case and digs into the privileged class in order to become a rare genius crook, survive, and protect his wife.

Park Chang Ho and Go Mi Ho (Yoona), who were living normal lives in the first episode, foreshadowed the impending misfortune that would soon befall them, thereby setting the stage for the confrontation. The setting of a worldview that transcends reality and fiction brought to mind lawlessness.

Netizens who watched the drama on the online community TheQoo expressed a variety of opinions, such as "I'm tired of the courtroom now," "I was looking forward to it, but it's not fun to watch," "The actors' performances were excellent," and "I'm watching until episode 2."

"Big Mouth" airs at 9:50 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
