• "Wonderland" Sees Sharp Drop in Viewership as "Inside Out 2" Leads Reservation Charts

    Despite its initial success, "Wonderland" is facing a rapid decline in viewership, with daily attendance dropping to around 20,000.

    The film, directed by Kim Tae-yong, managed to hold the top spot at the box office for the sixth day, but its position is expected to be taken over soon by the Disney-Pixar sequel "Inside Out 2," hitting theaters on the 12th.

    On the 10th, "Wonderland" drew in 22,651 viewers, maintaining its top spot with a total of 491,452 viewers since its release.

    The movie revolves around reuniting with loved ones through an AI service called "Wonderland," boasting a star-studded cast including Tang Wei, Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Jung Yu Mi, Choi Woo Shik, and a special appearance by Gong Yoo. However, despite the hype, it's struggling to keep up at the box office.

    After a strong opening weekend with 200,000 attendees, weekday showings have seen a significant drop.

    Reservation rates are also on a downward trend for "Wonderland," currently sitting at fourth place. "Inside Out 2" leads the charts with a staggering 185,655 reservations and a 57.1% reservation rate just before its release. Following closely behind are "Drive" starring Park Ji-hyun and "Escape" with Lee Je-hoon and Koo Kyo-hwan, both set for July releases.

    At the box office, "Furiosa: Mad Max Saga" took second place on the 10th with 16,450 viewers, accumulating a total of 1,435,078 viewers.

    "She Dies Tomorrow," starring Byun Yo-han and Shin Hye-sun, secured third place with 13,000 viewers on the same day, reaching a cumulative audience of 1,144,394 thanks to strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewings.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Reveals How She Boldly Told YG's Yang Hyun Suk She Loved Being Chubby – And Why It’s So Powerful

    BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

    On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

    Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

    Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

    She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
    “The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

    Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

    Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
