"Crash Course in Romance" has to be one of the most popular K-dramas right now. The show is about a math tutor named Choi Chi Yeol, who is played by Jung Kyung Ho. He meets Nam Haeng Seon, who owns a shop (played by Jeon Do Yeon).

One heartbreaking scene in particular has gone viral because it shows how little people in Korea know about autism.

Along with some of the main characters, Nam Jae Woo, who was played by Oh Eui Sik and is the brother of Nam Haeng Seon, made an impression.

Nam Jae Woo has Asperger syndrome, which makes it hard for him to do things like talk to other people.

Nam Jae Woo has been talked about a lot on the show, and a recent episode had one of the most moving scenes.

Nam Jae Woo has always talked about how he always gets a waffle from his favorite cafe first thing in the morning.

In the most recent episode, when Nam Jae Woo gets to the cafe and gets his order, he sees that the barista is holding a piece of chocolate.

While he is trying to clean it, she hits him back because she thinks he is trying to hurt her.

Then, her boyfriend, who is also a barista, comes in and gets mad at Nam Jae Woo, saying that he is a stalker because he comes into the shop every day.

When the male barista tries to fight with Nam Jae Woo, he fights back by pushing the man to the ground, which causes the man to file criminal charges against Nam Jae Woo.

When Nam Jae Woo's sister comes to get him from prison, he feels overwhelmed by the situation. She tries to calm him down before getting the baristas to drop the charges.

After the clips were shared, netizens couldn't stop sharing their reactions to the heartbreaking scene, which shows how little people understand.

Others said that it showed what can happen when people don't understand, since it wasn't strange that the barista was scared.

In particular, netizens liked how the family reacted and how they were shown in the episode.

When they got home, Nam Jae Woo's family was calm, which showed how much they cared, as did the way they told him what happened and tried to make him feel better.

Even though the two main characters are the focus of the show, it also talks about a lot of other things, like suicide and the pressures of Korean society.

It's not surprising that it's become so popular, both in Korea and around the world.

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.
