Sentences Mode

And we will start off with a K-movie.

And it seems that one film is doing very well overseas, which one will you be talking about?

Today's film is "The Dark Nuns". A story of two nuns who perform a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit, it stars Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-bin , and has seen global box office success.

Released in Korea on January 24, the film has surpassed its break-even point of 1.6 million viewers domestically and has also exceeded 1 million viewers in Indonesia. Additionally, it has remained No. 1 at the box office in the Philippines for two consecutive weeks since its release.

The film continues to spread across the world, having been released in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar . It is set for further releases in Singapore and Malaysia on February 13, followed by Vietnam on February 21.

It's great to see people are still heading to the theatres to see movies and even better that K-movies are at the top of some viewers' lists. Moving onto some news about NewJeans or should I say NJZ? I'm confused. I remember how Bella introduced us to this new name but what's new?

Yes, you said it Soa, we are talking about NJZ or are we talking about NewJeans? Well that is the current dispute that is making waves in the K-pop world. The girl group are still embroiled in a law suit with record label ADOR over contractual issues.

On Monday, ADOR issued a statement to the media, saying something to the effect of, "On February 7, the NewJeans members announced plans to promote under a group name that was not agreed upon with ADOR."

ADOR urged media outlets to "use the official team name, 'NewJeans,' which is based on a legally valid contract." adding "The exclusive contracts between NewJeans members and ADOR remain legally valid."

This is a big issue and I am sure we will keep a close eye on developments as they happen. Moving onto another girl group and that is the brand new group Hearts2Hearts.

SM Entertainment's new girl group, Hearts2Hearts, has unveiled the teaser image for their debut single.

On Monday, the teaser image for their first single, "The Chase", was released through the Hearts2Hearts' official social media accounts.

You should be able to see the teaser images on screen now.

"The Chase", set to be released on the 24th of February at 6pm, has a total of two tracks: the title track and debut song "The Chase", along with the B-side track "Butterflies".

Only a couple of weeks left until their debut so I can't wait for that, and lastly a touching gesture by a member of Stray Kids.

I.N, a member of the boy group Stray Kids, donated 100 million Korean won, roughly 68,000 U.S. dollars to Samsung Medical Center in celebration of his birthday, which was February 8th, Saturday.

According to the hospital on Monday, the donation made by I.N will be used to cover medical expenses for pediatric cancer patients from underprivileged families receiving treatment at Samsung Medical Center.

Known for his continuous philanthropic efforts, I.N was appointed as the youngest-ever member at age 23 last year, of the "Green Noble Club", an exclusive donor society of ChildFund Korea for individuals who have contributed donations exceeding 100 million won.
