• BTS’s Jungkook Beats 'Squid Game' in NYC, His Solo Exhibition Breaks Records on Ticket Sales Opening Day

    Jungkook is proving his global superstar status once again! His upcoming solo exhibition in New York has already made history by topping the best rankings on the first day of ticket sales.

    On March 5 (KST), the first round of ticket sales for Jungkook’s highly anticipated exhibition, "GOLDEN: The Moments," opened through the official Fever website. Within hours, it soared straight to the No. 1 spot in the best rankings, showing just how massive Jungkook’s influence is in the U.S.

    The exhibition, which will take place from April 11 to May 11 in Wall Street, New York, has already generated huge excitement among fans. But what’s even more impressive? Jungkook’s exhibition ranked higher than "Squid Game: The Experience NYC," a popular event that had been sold out for eight consecutive weeks!

    With this achievement, Jungkook has once again proven his unmatched global impact and box office power.

    Even before its New York debut, "GOLDEN: The Moments" was already a massive hit in Korea.

    The exhibition topped the 2024 July Monthly Bestseller list in Interpark’s Exhibitions/Events Ranking category, South Korea’s largest ticketing platform.

    It was the only HYBE INSIGHT exhibition to take the No. 1 spot in Interpark’s 2024 Monthly Bestseller rankings.

    Since its first domestic ticket sale in July last year, it has dominated Interpark’s daily and weekly rankings, proving its consistent popularity.

    And that’s not all—when the limited-edition GOLDEN music frame ticket was released as part of a special package, it sold out in just three minutes! The exhibition’s exclusive merchandise also sold out quickly, leading to huge demand and shortages.

    With Jungkook’s unstoppable success, fans are eagerly anticipating "GOLDEN: The Moments" in New York. Will it sell out completely like in Korea? Given Jungkook’s track record, it seems highly likely!

    Stay tuned for more updates on Jungkook’s exhibition and upcoming activities.

  • Son Ye Jin builds a massive 24.4 billion KRW building in Gangnam, but it’s been empty for months - What happened?

    Top actress Son Ye Jin made a huge real estate move by building a brand-new commercial property in one of Seoul’s busiest areas—but shockingly, the building has been sitting empty for over six months!

    According to a report by News1 on March 9, Son Ye Jin purchased an old two-story commercial building near Gangnam Station in 2022 and transformed it into a modern five-story structure by June last year. However, despite the prime location, the building hasn’t secured any tenants yet!

    In August 2022, the actress spent 22.4 billion KRW to buy the 277.7㎡ (about 84-pyeong) property near Gangnam Station (Line 2). She immediately began reconstruction, and now, the new building spans five floors above ground plus a basement level, covering a total 724㎡ (219 pyeong).

    To fund the project, Son Ye Jin reportedly took out a 15 billion KRW loan, with the building’s maximum bond amount reaching 18 billion KRW.

    Even though Gangnam Station is one of the busiest areas in Seoul, real estate experts say the high rental prices are making it hard to find tenants.

    For example, the second floor rent is around 300,000 KRW per 3.3㎡ (one pyeong). That means a 30-pyeong space would cost about 9 million KRW per month, plus an additional 1 million KRW in management fees!

    Because of these steep rental costs, industry insiders believe potential tenants are hesitant to move in, causing delays in leasing out the space.

    With the building sitting empty for months, many are wondering if Son Ye Jin will adjust the rent to attract businesses. Will she strike a deal soon and turn this investment into a huge success, or will the property remain vacant even longer? Stay tuned!
