Meanwhile, "Big Mouth" becomes hot topic because of their soaring ratings.

August 6th, a critical post about "Big Mouth" began trending on TheQoo's community board under the title, "MBC DRAMA BIG MOUSE'S VIEWER RATINGS".

The netizen then listed the following ratings with "Big Mouth" poster, "Nationwide/metropolitan are: Ep.1 6.2 / 6.3, Ep.2 6.1 / 6.4 and Ep.3 7.6 / 8.1".

Other netizens commented in response expressing their disappointment:

"I'm on episode 2, but I don't think this show is for me.."

"I watched it because the plot is intriguing, but I don't know, maybe it's the cast? I frequently find myself cringing."

"Clearly enjoyable, but I find the plot too difficult to followㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ".

Meanwhile, others also added in opinions like:

"Finally, a drama with Yoona that hits big"

" I kinda feel like this is Lee Jong-suk's top drama yet?? Lee Jong-suk appears so much and he's so good"

"I anticipated that the plot of this drama would be darker and heavier, but the plot is actually quite contrived and the acting is lighthearted(?). I found myself even laughing out loud. It resembles a 'noir' rendition of Penthouse."

"It's f*cking fun. The pace is super fast but the flow is also intuitive. The scenes are refreshing and Lee Jong-suk's acting is seriously daebak. I lose track of time while watching it. Even though the genre is noir, the plot is light and entertaining."

"The second episode was the best, the third felt forced, and I'm curious to see what they'll do with the fourth.",

"It's actually so enjoyableㅠㅠㅠ"

"It will continue to rise because it's so enjoyable.".

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!
