• Netizens are in shock at how big Stray Kids are in terms of the global market

    Stray Kids has become a hot topic because of the comments they received on their recent achievements.

    On September 26, a post about Stray Kids began trending on enter-talk‘ community board under the title, “STRAY KIDS ARE DAEBAK AMONG THE 4TH GEN MALE IDOLSㄷㄷㄷ“.

    The netizen who posted said, “Bangtan and his accumulated streams are in the celestial world, therefore if you remove them, Stray Kids are the only other male idols. Stray Kids appears to have taken off internationally.“

    The netizen then added, "Personally, I found Kep1er, NMIXX and Stray Kids unexpected"

    The netizen then listed all the comments as the following:

    Kids, it's noted in the OP's post as well that they blew up overseas, so why are you still bringing Melon up? They are ranked #1 on Billboard200 and have over 10 million subscribers on YouTube, therefore their fame has skyrocketed. Of course, they blew up in other countries.

    Maniac is performing quite well in other countries.

    I like TXT, but I recognize this. I was surprised to see their YT views sans promotional advertising this time.

    When it comes to international success, the rookie female idols are ranked #1, #4, #6, and #8. It's similar to the rookie award candidates.

    It is also critical to do effectively internationally. The rookie girl groups are cool since they are truly ushering in a new generation.

    But, aside from Bangtan, who else has over 10 million subscribers among male idols? Stray Kids are popular, regardless of whether they are popular in Korea or elsewhere.

    What are your thoughts on this?

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
