Singer Gummy shared a funny but relatable story about her husband, actor Jo Jung Suk, and her mother being a little too close.

On the March 23 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Gummy appeared as a special guest, and the hosts couldn’t help but bring up her husband’s relationship with her mom.

Shin Dong Yup commented, “I heard Jo Jung Suk is really close with your mother-in-law. He treats her so well that you even get jealous sometimes?”

Gummy laughed and clarified, “It’s not jealousy—it’s just that the two of them gossip about me.”

She explained, “One night, I went to bed with my baby, and my mom and husband were drinking downstairs. From my room, I could hear them whispering."

She added, "Then, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I suddenly heard, ‘Jiyeon (Gummy’s real name) is…’ but the moment I asked, ‘What are you talking about?’ they both froze!”

Hearing this, the Mom Avengers on the show admired Jo Jung Suk, saying, “He treats your mom well because he thinks you’re beautiful.”

Gummy then playfully turned to comedian Kim Ji Min’s mother and asked, “Junho oppa is good to you too, right?” referring to Kim Ji Min’s fiancé, comedian Kim Jun Ho.

Kim Ji Min’s mother laughed and said, “I can only hope.”

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.
