Time for some K-entertainment news with Bella Kim. Bella, today is a big day for all Squid Game fans.

The day has finally come! Netflix's global phenomenon "Squid Game" returns for its highly anticipated third and final season today.

The final season will feature six episodes, a shorter run compare to Season 1's nine episodes and Season 2's seven episodes.

The third and final season will be released on Friday at 4 p.m., Korea time, on Netflix.

For "Squid Game" fans in Korea, after you enjoy the final season on Friday, you can catch a parade, featuring Younghee, the pink guards and other characters from the series, at Gwanghwamun in Seoul on Saturday. The director of the series Hwang Dong-hyuk and the main actors, including Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun will be present at the event as well.

We know what many people will be watching this weekend.

Let's now move onto a story that will thrill BLACKPINK fans.

BLACKPINK are getting ready for their reunion with the upcoming world tour "DEADLINE." On Thursday, the group's agency, YG Entertainment, released the teaser for this upcoming tour on the group's official social media.

The video opens with Rosé at a phone booth in the middle of the desert, calling up the other members. The camera then cuts to quick highlights of each member, before the group hop in a pink convertible and take off on a roadtrip.

"DEADLINE" will kick off at Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on July 5th and the group will perform 31 shows across 16 places around the globe.

Before the tour, BLACKPINK will comeback with their first new release in about three years. They will perform it for the very first time at the Goyang concert.

Lucky for those going to the concert.

And we'll end off with another girl group!

Aespa have just dropped a new single "Dirty Work."

They released the new single just before our show today.

"Dirty Work" is a dance track characterized by synth bass sounds. The single album features four different versions of the song.

The new single also achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing 1.01 million pre-orders, which will make it aespa's sixth million-seller.

As the fans may know, aespa have become associated with the term 'iron taste,' referencing the group's edgy, futuristic concepts and industrial musical style. Well, the music video for "Dirty Work" amplifies their 'iron taste' concept as they perform inside Hyundai Steel's steel mill in Dangjin, with 225 extras and large-scale heavy machinery.

Aespa's songs are always so catchy, so make sure to give it a listen!

I was able to give it a listen right before the show, and I have to say they did some "great work" with "Dirty Work".
