• "Still the queen of ads!" — Actress Han So Hee selected as Asia's first global ambassador for 'Shark'

    Our favorite actress, Han So Hee, is making waves as she's been chosen as a model for a global brand, marking a first for any Asian star.

    On March 28th, Han So Hee's agency, 9ato Entertainment, spilled the beans to NewsEn, saying, "Han So Hee has inked a model contract with Shark."

    For those who don't know, Shark is a big name in home appliances in the English-speaking world, and our girl Han So Hee is all set to dazzle as a global model in the beauty scene.

    Interestingly, Han So Hee chose not to extend her contracts with a bank last year and a liquor company earlier this year.

    There were whispers that her love life with actor Ryu Jun Yeol might have swayed her decision to cut ties with the companies she's been repping as an ad model.

    But, it turns out that the decision to talk about contract renewals was made separately from any love affair drama, and this was all sorted out at the start of this year and the end of last year.

    In other news, Han So Hee fans, get ready! She's gearing up for the release of Season 2 of the Netflix series 'Gyeongseong Creature'. Stay tuned!

  • Park Bo Gum Takes on a Big Challenge as MC of ‘Cantabile’ — Here's Why KBS Chose an Actor Over a Singer

    KBS is getting ready to shake up its 2025 spring variety lineup, and one of the most talked-about shows is Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile!

    On March 7, KBS held a press conference at the KBS International Conference Room in Yeouido, Seoul, to introduce its upcoming variety programs. Several CPs (chief producers) attended the event, including Park Seok-hyung, who is directing Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile.

    During the event, CP Park Seok-hyung explained why Park Bo Gum was chosen as the host. "Having Park Bo Gum as the MC was a bit of a challenge for us. Respect is crucial in a music talk show, and we felt that Park Bo Gum, with his deep love for music, would be able to communicate well with musicians."

    This decision is a big first for KBS—until now, the network’s signature music talk show, The Seasons, has always been hosted by singers.

    Now, with an actor like Park Bo Gum taking the lead, the show is expected to bring a new and refreshing vibe to the genre.

    Alongside Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile, KBS is bringing back some beloved shows and exciting new programs:

    Kang Ho Dong will return as the host of Study and Nolbu, a quiz talk show for parents and children.

    The Problematic Men of the Rooftop Room, which ran for seven years starting in 2018, is making a comeback.

    Ballunteer will feature former soccer star Lee Young-pyo and singer Lee Chan-won as they take on hilarious futsal challenges.

    Actress Lee Min-jung will host Going and Coming Lee Min-jung, a wholesome rural reality show where she sells goods with other actors.

    Meanwhile, KBS’s legendary comedy show Gag Concert is officially returning on March 16, moving to prime time on Sundays at 9:20 PM KST.

    Here’s when you can catch these exciting new and returning shows:
    Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile – Every Friday at 10 PM KST, starting March 14
    Gag Concert – March 16 (Sundays at 9:20 PM KST)
    Study and Nolbu – March 31 (Mondays at 9:50 PM KST)
