Time for our daily dose of K-entertainment with Walter Lee.
Starting off with K-pop stars on a big fashion stage!
K-pop idols took centre stage at one of New York fashion's biggest nights, the 2025 Met Gala. Held on Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year's event embraced the theme of 250 years of "Black Men's Fashion History," with global stars donning bold, black and white looks.
BLACKPINK's Jennie wore a classic Chanel black dress, with oversized pearls and a white-ribboned hat. Lisa donned a Louis Vuitton glittering lace jacket and logo-embroidered mesh stockings, and Rosé in a flash Saint Laurent tuxedo.
Making his Met Gala debut, SEVENTEEN's S.Coups delivered a twist on tradition, cladding a hanbok-inspired gray suit with a flowing overcoat and silver hair.
They all certainly looked wonderful. Next up we have news on the final chapter of the Squid Game saga.
Netflix dropped the teaser for Squid Game Season 3, and fans are losing it!
The teaser kicks off with those infamous pink guards marching in carrying a mysterious coffin. But who is in the coffin? It's Gi-hun . Then suddenly. Eyes open. Game on.
For the final season, Gi-hun returns to the game with a new mission but he's not the only one hiding something. The enigmatic Front Man is back, still in the shadows, and the few survivors are clinging to whatever hope they've got left.
As we know, Squid Game shattered records back in 2021, becoming Netflix's biggest hit ever. Season 2? Over 165 million views in just three months! Season 3 was filmed right alongside Season 2 and hits TV screens on June 27 just six months later.
Probably the most anticipated K-drama of the year and fans can't wait. Lastly, K-movie news.
Speaking of hits, the Korean film "Yadang: The Snitch", starring Kang Ha-neul , is officially the biggest domestic hit of 2025 so far!
Released on April 16, "Yadang" held onto the number one spot throughout the recent holiday weekend, topping the box office for five out of six days and drawing in over 830,000 viewers from May 1 to 6 alone. Its total audience reached more than 2.67 million, knocking "Hitman 2" out of first place for the year.
Kang Ha-neul plays Lee Kang-soo , a broker who sells drug intel to the authorities for profit. Alongside him, a morally gray prosecutor played by Yoo Hae-jin , and a determined detective who'll risk everything to take down a drug cartel.
Thank you for that Walter.
