• Zico Opens Up About His Views on Dating and Marriage: "I Want a Partner Who Can Lead"

    Zico recently shared his thoughts on dating, marriage, and what he's looking for in a future partner during a fun tarot reading session.

    On November 13, a video titled "What Was Zico’s Tarot Reading Result?" was uploaded to the Lee Yongjin YouTube channel. In the video, Zico asked tarot reader Lee Yongjin about his future marriage, saying, "When will I get married?" He followed up by asking, "What kind of person would be good for me?" Zico explained that his views on dating and marriage are quite different.

    He said, “In dating, it’s about emotional connection and becoming partners, but marriage is about becoming family. It feels like two completely different things because the future partner will be someone you live with.”

    Zico went on to say, “If I can trust someone, I’d be fine sharing a bank account. When you’ve been together for a long time, you get to know each other’s tendencies. I want someone who can be the leader of the family. After all, isn’t the mother usually the leader?”

    Lee Yongjin responded to Zico’s questions by saying, “You won’t get married. You seem like you want to enjoy life more. You’re not ready yet. You won’t be ready until you’re 40.”

    Zico also asked about the personality of his future spouse. After drawing the Pope card, Lee Yongjin predicted, "It seems like you’ll meet someone very thorough, someone who knows how to draw the line and is wise. Someone who won’t be swayed by emotions."

  • 'Weak Hero 2' takes over Netflix and sends webtoon sales skyrocketing 20 times

    The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

    According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

    That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

    This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

    With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

    The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

    It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

    After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

    The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

    When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

    Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
