Time for the latest in the world of K-entertainment with Walter Lee.

We have updates on two artists doing well in the UK charts.

Another week has passed, and Rosé still remains at No. 2 on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 for a third consecutive week, continuing her outstanding run with her song "APT" feat. Bruno Mars. For anyone who may not be familiar with the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100, it is the equivalent to the U.S. Billboard Top 100, where Rosé is at no.5 at the moment.

There was speculation that the single might actually reach No. 1 last week, but we might just have to wait until the next chart update to see if she can grab that top spot. Let's all hope she can top the charts this week! Standing in her way is Gracie Abrams' "That's So True."

And who is our other artist?

Staying with the UK charts, BTS Jimin’s song titled “Who” remains strong. It is in the UK Official Singles Chart for its 20th consecutive week, currently sitting at no.13. But this is a special moment for Jimin, as his song surpasses PSY's "Gentleman" to make it the second longest-charting K-pop solo song in UK chart history, second only to PSY's legendary 2012 hit "Gangnam Style."

We are sticking to a K-pop theme today and we want to give a review of NCT 127's latest tour.

Let's talk about NCT 127's fourth world tour, "Neo City: The Link – The Moment", which started with two sold-out shows at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome on Saturday and Sunday, drawing 37,000 fans. The concert showcased their explosive energy and iconic performances, featuring hits like "Gas," "2 Baddies," and "Sticker,". Despite performing as six members due to enlistments and departures, the group displayed unwavering unity, impressing fans with their sharp choreography and powerful live vocals across a 26-song setlist.

The production was equally mesmerising, with massive LED screens, lasers, lifts forming pyramids, and cinematic VCRs that added to the show. After a successful Seoul run, NCT 127 will continue their tour across 14 cities worldwide, including Jakarta, Bangkok, Toronto, Osaka, LA and more.

Ending off with some K-drama news.

The trailer for the Netflix series "The Trauma Code: Heroes On Call", starring Ju Ji-hoon , has been released.

The medical drama series follows the story of Baek Kang-hyuk , played by Ju, a brilliant surgeon who served in war zones and now takes on the task of reviving a struggling trauma team at an infamous hospital.

The K-drama is based on a popular webtoon of the same name, which gained widespread love for its inventive storyline.

The Netflix series The Trauma Code will premiere worldwide on Netflix on the 24th.

That's going to be later this week. Alright, thank you for your K-enter updates Walter. Stick around.
