-Whoa, I wasn't even thinking about it...

-Ticketing is going to be toughㅜ

-My favorite artist isn't there, but if that's the confirmed lineup, I kinda want to goㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The venue is too small...

-Please, just give me one ticketㅠㅠㅜㅠㅠ

-Seventeen alone is more than enoughㅠㅠ

-3/30-31 Encore Concert at Asiad Main Stadium, another encore concert in April, a concert in Japan in May, and then Weverse concert in June. They're also going to release a new album... Fan meetings will probably be in July or August, right? Since a new album is coming out, maybe they'll have a new tour in the fall...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Let's stay strong, Seventeen and Carats:)

-Ugh. I probably won't get ticketsㅠㅠ

-I'm freaking out, I wonder if I can even go.

-Wow, this is going to be funㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They're really active this year, impressive.

-Wow, there are going to be so many idols, ticketing is going to be tough.

-Wow, Seventeen is working so hard...

-Wow, does Seventeen ever take a break? They're really working hard.

-They get no break in the first half of the year; they're working so hard.

-When does Seventeen ever take a break?

-Even the early bird tickets sold out instantly, so ticketing will be even tougher...

The Drama That Gained Positive Reactions for its Premiere Today

 

It gained positive reactions for its amazing cast and acting skills. 

Many reviews say it's sad rather than scary for the first episode.

Now I understand why the actors cried during the reading session ㅠㅠ

I thought 'The Midnight Studio' would be horror, but it's so sad?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ  

I just watched 'The Midnight Studio' and it seems like every episode is going to make me cry... ( o̴̶̷̥᷅⌓o̴̶̷᷄ ) As expected, Song Hyunwook's fantasy directing quality is great and the script is also excellent ♡

Joowon Reveals, "40 People Burst into Tears During the Script-Reading for 'The Midnight Studio' ... Eum Moonsuk cried the most."

Joowon showcased his exceptional empathy as he stated, "While reading the script, I imagine the characters. There were scenes in 'The Midnight Studio' that made me cry." He added, "During the script-reading, there were about 40 staff present. There was a scene that moved everyone to suddenly look for tissue." He continued, "Actually, the person who cried the most was Eum Moonsuk. Even though it's not something that should make him cry, he still cried."


theqoo

-I cried while watching it too todayㅠㅠㅠ

-The problem is where you can watch the drama?ㅜㅜㅜ

-It's really good from the first episode. The cast's acting skills are amazing and the drama was well-shot.

-In which OTT platform can I watch this?

-Is it like 'Sell Your Haunted House'? I'm curious...

-The accessibility of the OTT platform they use is so bad, though

-I shed a bucket of tearsㅜ

-Wow, I thought I'd give it a try since I know all the faces, but it's my first time hearing about 'Genie TV'...

-What's GenieTV..

-I watched the first episode and it was good, but it might be difficult for those without a TV to watch.

-Why didn't they sell it to Netflix?

-You can watch it on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA!!!

-I want to watch it, but it seems that there are very limited places where you can watch it.ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Can you only watch it on the GenieTV... written on the poster?
 ㄴYou have to wait for the live broadcast or re-broadcast on ENA, except if you are subscribed to GenieTV...

'Exhuma' Surpasses 1.3M Viewers in indonesia

 

theqoo 

-Hul... I just saw a post celebrating 1.2M viewers in Indonesia, though...?

-What?? I just congratulated them for surpassing 1.2M viewers a while ago...? Hul...

-?? I just saw a post that they surpassed 1.2M viewers like 10 minutes ago?? Wow~

-Didn't they just hit 1.2M viewers??ㅋㅋㅋ I really want to hear Indonesians impression about this movie. What points did they find interesting?

-Hul... Congratulations! Let's go for 2M viewers

-Yes?? Already?? They just reached 1.2M viewers recently...?

-Just how many thousands of people watch this movie every day in Indonesia?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-100,000 viewers in such a short time?? Impressive

-I hope it will surpass 2M viewers soon!!

-They keep breaking records...

-When it reached over 1M viewers, I asked Korean and local YouTubers living in Indonesia about their reactions to 'Exhuma.' They said that because the population is so large, hitting 1M viewers isn't that big of a deal. However, they mentioned that among Korean enthusiasts in their circle, some watched it twice.
 ㄴIndonesia has a relatively small number of moviegoers. They mentioned that the highest record for an Indonesian domestic film was around 7M views.

-It's unique how they use '.' instead of ',' in between the numbers... Anyway, it's really fascinating how this movie is doing well in Indonesia

-That's really fast...

theqoo

-That's really amazing??

-What's going on...

-Whoa... It's doing really well in Indonesia

-It seems there's something in the movie that resonates with Indonesians. It's great that it's doing well!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Thank you, Indonesian Unniesㅎㅎ

-If you look up 'Exhuma' in Tiktok, they're all Indonesians...

-It's Monday today and yet it gained a lot of viewers...

-Whoa... Looks like around 100,000 to 200,000 people watch this every day...

-Hulㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is there something in this movie that resonates with them??

-Wow, that's amazing... Do they like horror movies?

-The caption in that picture says '1,200,000 people are caught in a dilemma of whether to open the door or the window'

-Whoa... I'm really curious about their review about this movie

-I heard Indonesians are really interested in shamanism...

-Southeast Asia shows great interest in shamanism, and Thailand is also strong in this area. Indonesia shares the experience of Japanese invasion during World War II, especially in the Pacific War.

-That's twice of the number of viewers Parasite achievedㄷㄷ

-Do they also have ancestral numerology? It's interesting that they understand this movieㅋㅋㅋ

-I heard Indonesians really enjoy horror moviesㅋㅋㅋ Most of their blockbusters are horror movies

-Do they have funeral customs or rites like ours? They probably do, but I wonder if the meaning was translated well?

-Bali happens to be celebrating Nyepi today...perfect timing for preparing these things like festivals.

-I'm endlessly grateful for the high consumption of Korean content...

-Indonesia is an Islamic country, but do they understand concepts like numerology? 

-If more viewers show up, it would be fun if the director and actors did a stage greeting in Indonesiaㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, impressive! I'm so curious about what aspect of our culture is similar to Indonesia's?! So curious!

-Even in Muslim countries, the concept of shamans seems okay.

Chinese Viewers Fussing Over the Chinese Characters Written on People's Faces in 'Exhuma'

 

Seems like they're regarding it as illegal and making a big deal out of it. Hanja characters =/= Chinese characters

What do they expect us to do?? In South Korea, behaving like you (only thinking about your own culture and boasting about it) is considered very insulting and disgraceful behavior.

theqoo 

-It's not insulting in South Korea. Why are they telling us what to do??

-So what? Who asked for your opinion?

-What's written on their faces is not Chinese characters. Stop creating a fuss about other countries' matters. Why should we pay attention to Chinese culture when it's a Korean movie?

-So what...? This is not a Chinese movie. You must be kidding me.

-I seriously don't know what's the problem with themㅋㅋ Seems like they just want to start a fight...

-So what...? Are they watching 'Exhuma' illegally???

-Why does it matter to us if it's insulting or not in your country?? Those are Hanja characters...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Many countries use the alphabet for their own language writing, but it doesn't mean they're all English.

-I don't care if it's considered insulting or not in their countryㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is a Korean movie, you know??

-So pathetic...

-In South Korea, watching movies illegally is very disrespectful...

-They're being so narrow-minded, thinking that Hanja belongs only to them, idiots. Pay to watch the movie, you pathetic losers.

-Not Chinese people saying that when they're the ones who slap nonsense Korean words on their products to make them look Korean. We've been using Hanja for thousands of years in our own way, not Chinese.

-They're blabbering, and within a few years, there will definitely be a knockoff movie or drama with Hanja written on faces.

-What do you mean? It's not insulting in Korea.
