Did you catch it?

Girls' Generation's YoonA (also known as Lim Yoon A or Im Yoon Ah) made a subtle but sweet nod to her and 2PM's Junho's (also known as Lee Jun Ho) fandoms in their K-drama King the Land.

Fans were looking forward to the idols-turned-actors' rom-com because they have known each other for over a decade and have worked together before as emcees and on stages.

YoonA and Junho's natural chemistry was on full display in King the Land. Even things like their handshake showed how close they really were.

They have worked together for a long time as members of Girls' Generation and 2PM, so they had a good time on set.

During shooting, they even played "Guess the Song" by singing each other's songs while gargling water.

But YoonA made a cute mention of both of their fandoms in King the Land.

By the end of the show, YoonA's character, Sa Rang, has opened her own small hotel, called "Hotel Amor." It's kind of like an Airbnb.

She chose the colors for the two chairs she painted when she was preparing the room. One was yellow and the other was pink.

The main color of the Girls' Generation fandom SNE (So-One) is Pastel Rose Pink. Metallic Grey is 2PM's fandom color for Hottest, but Junho's fandom color is yellow.

The Easter egg in King the Land was a pleasant treat for their fans. It shows how much YoonA loves and respects them.

BTS’s Jimin is showing no signs of slowing down as a solo artist! His second album, MUSE, and its title track, Who, continue to dominate the U.S. Billboard charts, cementing his place as one of K-pop’s biggest global stars.

In the latest Billboard update (December 28), Jimin’s hit song Who ranked 47th on the Hot 100, marking its impressive 22nd consecutive week on the chart. This makes Who the longest-charting song by a Korean solo artist, surpassing the record previously set by Psy’s Gangnam Style. And it’s not just that—Who is the first K-pop solo song to spend its first 22 weeks in the Hot 100’s Top 60.

But the success doesn’t stop there. Jimin’s album MUSE, which includes Who, also continues to shine. It’s ranked 136th on the Billboard 200, securing its 22nd week on the chart. This makes MUSE the only K-pop album released in 2024 to have stayed on the chart for such a long period.

On top of that, Who has been making waves on several other Billboard charts. On the Streaming Songs chart, it holds the No. 32 spot, marking its 22nd week. This achievement makes it the second-longest-charting K-pop track, just behind Gangnam Style. The song also stays strong on the Global 200 and Global (Excluding U.S.) charts, sitting at No. 25 and No. 30, respectively.

The success of Who is also reflected in MUSE’s performance. The album recently reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the World Albums chart and is currently at No. 2. MUSE has now extended its record as the second-longest-charting K-pop solo album, just behind Jimin’s first solo album, FACE (which charted for 63 weeks).

These accomplishments have earned Jimin praise from U.S. media outlet AsianEAC, which dubbed him a “living legend.” They highlighted that Jimin achieved all these milestones despite having “no promotions in the U.S. during the Christmas season, no high-profile collaborations, and while serving his military duty.”

Jimin’s success is a true testament to his talent and global impact!
