Group BIGBANG has signaled a spectacular return by officially confirming the release of a new song on their 20th debut anniversary.

YG Entertainment released the title poster for the BIGBANG Digital Single [BiiiG] through its official blog on the 10th, announcing that the new digital single "BiiiG" will be released at 6 PM on August 19. The released poster captures BIGBANG's signature intense aura, featuring blue, red, and yellow lights blending in pitch black darkness, with the members' silhouettes and stylish "BiiiG" typography placed underneath.

The new song title "BiiiG," which had been shrouded in veil, was also revealed for the first time through this poster. Derived from the word "big," the title naturally connects with the identity of the team, BIGBANG. The unique spelling, which twists a familiar word in their own way, draws attention and raises expectations for the expanded musical world and scale they will unfold through it.

YG Entertainment stated, ""BiiiG" is a song that most vividly shows the present of BIGBANG, who is celebrating their 20th debut anniversary," adding, "You can look forward to another musical spectrum that BIGBANG, who has built their own unrivaled musical world for a long time, will show."

This new song release by BIGBANG comes approximately four years and four months since their digital single "Still Life," released in April 2022. At that time, BIGBANG swept the top spots on major domestic and international music charts without separate broadcast promotions and proved their unchanging influence by winning the Digital Song Division Bonsang at the 37th Golden Disc Awards.

BIGBANG has produced numerous mega-hit songs such as "Lies," "Last Farewell," "Haru Haru," "FANTASTIC BABY," "LOSER," "BANG BANG BANG," and "BAE BAE," and is evaluated to have laid the foundation for the global K-pop craze with their unrivaled musicality, producing ability, and cultural influence encompassing fashion and performance. Global music fans' attention is focused on their new steps to be unfolded through this new song.

Meanwhile, along with the release of the new song "BiiiG," BIGBANG will embark on their 20th debut anniversary world tour, "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR <XX : COSMOS>." Starting in Goyang on the 21st, they will embark on a grand journey of a total of 33 shows across 19 cities worldwide, including North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. They plan to sequentially reveal additional hosting regions to expand the heat of the global tour.

BLACKPINK member JISOO has spoken out about the tears she shed following their 10th-anniversary event.

Late at night on the 8th, JISOO shared a long message on a fan platform, saying, "Hello! I think this is my first time back in Beijing since a family trip when I was in middle school! Thank you everyone for welcoming me." She continued, "Because the boundaries of what we want to say, what we can say, what we are allowed to say, and what we don't necessarily need to say are difficult, I think everyone had a hard time bringing up words yesterday." She added, "I just wanted to say that I love all four of us so, so, so much, and express how much we cherish each other."

JISOO's message drew particular attention because she was caught crying heavily in a vehicle after finishing the 10th-anniversary event. JISOO is known as a member who rarely cries, famously asking other members "Why are you crying?" when they shed tears at concerts. Because of this, some interpretations suggested there might be other meanings behind her tears.

In response, JISOO guarded against overinterpretation, stating, "I hope you don't read too many meanings into my tears." She explained, "I just want to gather these various emotions and sum them up as the overwhelming feeling of us spending 10 years together." She also drew a line against comparisons with other members, saying, "Just because I cried publicly for the first time, does it mean I was the most sincere or the most upset this time..? I don't think it's right to think that way," and adding, "Just because I didn't cry during the tour doesn't mean I wasn't moved."

JISOO also shared her feelings regarding the controversies surrounding this 10th anniversary. She reassured fans, saying, "The misunderstandings and disappointments that arise from not talking... it might be frustrating, but for our 10th anniversary, which we should have been celebrating together, I mostly just hope that even though we've already made each other feel disappointed, no more negative stories or endless speculations will come out."

Concluding her message, she expressed her affection for the fans by saying, "Anyway, I rambled a lot, but a bit late, I love you, and happy 10th anniversary! I wanted to greet you late! Working for 10 years, wow, liking each other for 10 years, wow, we must be amazing people! Thank you."

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK debuted on August 8, 2016, and celebrated their 10th anniversary on the 8th. Ahead of the anniversary, there had been fan complaints questioning whether BLACKPINK was preparing a fan communication event. Following the controversy, a 10th-anniversary live broadcast featuring all the members and a meet-and-greet event at the National Museum of Korea were successfully held. JISOO had previously delivered an apology to fans through a separate long letter at midnight on the 8th.

Ryu Seung-ryong, Ha Jiwon, and Kim Si-a, the main stars of the upcoming film "Portrait of A Family", have personally shared the special meaning behind the title.

"Portrait of A Family" is an intense family saga directed by Lee Jee-won ("Miss Baek"). The film follows top-star couple Jung-gu (Ryu Seung-ryong) and Nam-mi (Ha Jiwon), whose marriage collapses following the unexpected appearance of Jung-gu's daughter, Dong-ju (Kim Si-a). Eight years later, when Dong-ju gets caught in a shocking incident, the couple risks everything they have left to uncover the truth and save her.

The intriguing original Korean title, "Bi-gwang" (the Korean title of "Portrait of A Family"), was inspired by Director Lee Jee-won watching a family gathered together playing Go-Stop. Bi-gwang, one of the cards in Hwatu (Korean playing cards), holds a unique position—it is neither a regular card nor a fully standard "Bright" card on its own. While a set of three Bright cards excluding Bi-gwang is worth 3 points, three Bright cards that include Bi-gwang yield only 2 points. However, Bi-gwang is essential to complete the ultimate "5 Brights" hand. Although incomplete on its own, Bi-gwang attains its full meaning only when combined with others, serving as a key thematic element that symbolizes family solidarity and hope.

The actors also deeply connected with the symbolism of the title and shared their personal interpretations. Regarding the title, Ryu Seung-ryong stated, "It carries a dual meaning—that while incomplete on its own, coming together creates true strength." Ha Jiwon commented, "It is a succinct title that captures the movie's message and fits the project so well. It represents something that might not always feel precious in everyday life, but is an indispensable presence that must be there in critical moments." Kim Si-a also expressed her affection for the film, offering her take: "It represents an existence that may seem humble alone, but shines even brighter when together."

Furthermore, Nam-mi's narration in the film expands on this title's meaning even further. The narration—"On a rainy day, a frog was leaping to catch hold of a weeping willow so as not to be swept away by the raging current. It leaped and fell, and fell again, but the frog did not give up and finally caught the willow to survive"—shows that Bi-gwang is not merely an image of a rainy day, but a symbol of perseverance and effort in overcoming adversity.

This resonates directly with the narrative of Jung-gu, a former star baseball player who fell to rock bottom in an instant, before risking everything to stand back up to protect his daughter. True to the message and sentiment carried in its title, "Portrait of A Family" promises to deliver deep emotional resonance through the story of people who become each other's pillar of strength in moments of crisis.

Portraying a poignant story of individuals who shine brighter together, just like its title, "Portrait of A Family" is scheduled to hit theaters on September 2.

Hwa Sa shared her thoughts on receiving a shout-out from Jensen Huang.

On the August 9 broadcast of SBS's "My Little Old Boy", Han Hye-jin was shown meeting up and spending time with Hwa Sa.

During the broadcast, the two enjoyed shopping at Namdaemun Market before visiting Hwa Sa's favorite restaurant. Hwa Sa raised expectations by saying, "This place is the origin of deokjajjim. After trying it here once and finding it so delicious, I looked around for other places that make deokjajjim, but there are none. There is no other cooking method like this."

Eating deokjajjim, which got its name because it gives you a lot of blessings, Hwa Sa showcased her unique eating broadcast. In response, Han Hye-jin brought laughter by saying, "It makes me think of when you ate gopchang (beef tripe)," and adding, "Aren't you the only person on Earth to win an award for eating something?"

In the past, Hwa Sa became a hot topic for her gopchang eating broadcast, which even led to a gopchang shortage. Commenting on this, Han Hye-jin caught attention by saying, "Back then, you ate gopchang and gopchang ran out across the country, and now Deok-ja is going to dry up."

Hwa Sa, who shared that she has been eating well since she was a child, said, "I wondered if I received blessings because I ate well. When I went to the cafeteria back in school, the ladies would give me a lot if I greeted them well. I would greet them in a booming voice so they would give me one more sausage, so I always greeted them well to get a lot of food."

When Han Hye-jin asked why she went that far, Hwa Sa confessed that she had no choice as she grew up in a household with many daughters where food competition was fierce.

Hwa Sa continued, "I always greeted them loudly in the cafeteria, and the kitchen ladies grew fond of me. Then, a musical offer came in." She recalled, "An acquaintance of the cafeteria lady was a musical planning director, and the lady recommended me, saying there was a kid at our school with a clear voice. So I went to audition right away and immediately landed the role of Patjwi. It was a huge musical. The other friends who auditioned together all had a lot of career experience."

Hearing this, Han Hye-jin remarked, "So you were drafted straight from the school cafeteria." Hwa Sa brought laughter by saying, "I just greeted people because I wanted to eat a lot of food, and that's how it turned out."

Han Hye-jin then asked, "Do turning points in your life happen every time you eat something?" Hwa Sa answered seriously, "Seeing the gopchang phenomenon, I seriously wondered back then if there really was something about me."

Following this, Han Hye-jin brought up Jensen Huang's shout-out to Hwa Sa, saying, "What happened with Jensen Huang? I doubted my eyes." Hwa Sa replied, "They said everyone thought it was all AI. Actually, I received more text messages than when I hit number one with 'Good Good'. People were congratulating me, but at first, I didn't think much of it because he wasn't someone I knew well. I was clueless about economics."

Hwa Sa added, "At first, I thought he must have studied K-pop. Because I couldn't believe it." She mentioned Jensen Huang expressing his fandom for her, saying, "After that, I wrote him a letter and gave it to him along with an album. But before he left, he spoke to me again. That's when I realized he was truly sincere."

Han Hye-jin then joked, "Didn't he say if he has a favorite model? I've put on a little weight, but I still look pretty good." Hwa Sa responded with a straight face, "Unnie, you're embarrassing me."

Han Hye-jin then joked, "Didn't you ask him to give you about 100 shares? They're not that expensive. Tell him to give you 500 shares again." Hwa Sa turned serious again and said, "Unnie, you're embarrassing me."

SUPER JUNIOR member HEECHUL issued an apology on the 9th regarding his criticism of the South Korean flag pattern on a Liberation Day commemoration banner posted by Incheon City.

Through his social media that day, HEECHUL stated, "It might seem absurd for you to see an apology just a day later, but this is clearly my fault. I failed to properly recognize the shape of a person holding something and reacted angrily just at the sight of the Taegeukgi drawing. This is clearly my fault caused by a lack of spatial awareness and impatience."

He added, "Once bitten, twice shy... Lately, I must have built up a lot of anger inside as I keep frequently seeing people, videos, and photos hanging or drawing the Taegeukgi upside down. However, it is my fault for not looking closely at the drawing, and since making a mistake naturally calls for an apology, please scold me for not being cautious."

HEECHUL conveyed, "Starting with myself, I hope the Taegeukgi will not be distorted into other meanings or misunderstandings in the future." At the end of his post, he also added the sentence, "And I am truly Korean.. I was born in Hoengseong, Gangwon Province.."

Previously, Incheon City posted a commemoration banner on the 6th at a crosswalk near the rear gate of City Hall to mark the 81st Liberation Day. The banner included the phrase "The 81st Liberation Day, the day light was reclaimed" along with an image of an independence activist waving the Taegeukgi with both hands.

However, criticisms continued online pointing out that the Taegeukgi pattern and the positions of the four trigrams on the banner were flipped vertically. HEECHUL joined the controversy by leaving a comment on the post saying "You've lost your mind" along with a Taegeukgi emoji. Fellow group member SIWON also responded with a Taegeukgi emoji.

As the controversy grew, Incheon City explained, "The Taegeukgi was not drawn incorrectly; rather, it was expressed in a perspective looking up from below at an independence activist waving the Taegeukgi." The city clarified that the basic shape of the Taegeukgi itself, including the positions of the four trigrams, was normal. However, judging that it could cause misunderstandings, the banner was removed on the 8th. An Incheon City official stated, "We were not meticulous enough about the parts that appeared in two dimensions. We will look into things more closely moving forward to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings."

Meanwhile, HEECHUL has repeatedly stated his stance regarding his comment being interpreted politically. He stated, "Many people are expressing political concerns regarding the Taegeukgi talk, but isn't it our country's national flag regardless of left or right?" and as the controversy persisted, he repeatedly emphasized, "It has nothing to do with left or right. Something even a kindergarten student knows is neither something to be praised nor something to be cursed at, and it's just absurd to make a fuss over the position of the Taegeukgi that even foreign fans all know."

HEECHUL stepped down from the JTBC program "Knowing Bros" last May due to health issues, and on the 13th of last month, he released the SUPER JUNIOR-83z mini 1st album "Promise to You" with LEETEUK and continues his activities.

Yu Jae-seok claimed three penalty honors.

On the August 9 broadcast of SBS "Running Man", guests Kim Ji-yu and Hong Jin-ho made an appearance.

On this day, the "Running Man" members and guests engaged in a Jongno marble race. After completing all the missions, they rolled the dice for a final chance to escape.

Yu Jae-seok's team could escape with a single die roll, whereas Kim Jong-kook's team could not escape even if a 6 was rolled. However, if Yu Jae-seok's team kept rolling low numbers, Kim Jong-kook's team still had hope.

Accordingly, Kim Jong-kook's team prayed that Yu Jae-seok's team would roll a 2 or lower. Meanwhile, since Yu Jae-seok's team would be satisfied with anything 3 or higher, they threw the dice with relaxed composure.

Rolling a 3 meant winning the tablet PC they had been eyeing so desperately, and rolling a 5 or higher meant successfully escaping. However, the number Yu Jae-seok rolled happened to be a 2.

A 2 meant drawing a golden key. With dimensional relocation hanging in the balance on the golden key, Yu Jae-seok's team entered a state of extreme tension. Yang Sechan drew the golden key on behalf of the team. Before the result was even revealed, Yang Sechan and Hong Jin-ho checked the slip first and were horrified. What Yang Sechan drew was dimensional relocation, the worst-case scenario.

Yu Jae-seok's team fell into despair as their spots were swapped with Kim Jong-kook's team right before escape. In response, the team members complained, "Out of all things, why did we draw this?"

With the positions swapped, Kim Jong-kook's team had to draw the golden key. The team members suggested that Song Jihyo draw it instead of Jee Seokjin, who was known for having bad luck. However, Jee Seokjin, who wanted to play a decisive role, expressed his disappointment, and ultimately Jee Seokjin stepped up to draw the golden key.

Miraculously, he drew a double dice. If they did not roll back-to-back 1s on the subsequent dice roll, they would succeed in escaping. With positive mindsets, Kim Jong-kook's team rolled the dice, and as a result, they barely managed to escape after rolling a 1 and a 3.

Kim Jong-kook's team rejoiced greatly over the victory achieved after overcoming three instances of exile to a deserted island. On the other hand, Yu Jae-seok's team expressed regret over missing out on the win right at the finish line. However, they found comfort upon seeing that Kim Jong-kook's team had bypassed all the prize spaces and ended up with zero final prizes, bringing laughter to everyone.

The losing team, Yu Jae-seok's team, drew running balls to choose the people who would carry out the penalties. Yang Sechan and Yu Jae-seok, Hong Jin-ho and Yu Jae-seok, and Yang Sechan and Yu Jae-seok were respectively chosen to perform the three penalties: getting hit with water, drinking an extremely bitter herbal tea, and getting drenched with a bucket of water. Notably, Yu Jae-seok drew laughter by earning the dishonor of sweeping all three penalties.

SBS variety show "Running Man" has proven its solid popularity by ranking first in its timeslot for the 20-49 target viewership rating for six consecutive weeks.

Aired on the 9th, SBS "Running Man" recorded a target "20-49 viewership rating" of 1.5% (based on Nielsen Korea's Seoul metropolitan area household standards) and peaked at a high of 1.8%, maintaining its top spot in its timeslot.

The episode featured a "Jongno Marble" race spanning various locations in Jongno. Hong Jin-ho, making a rare guest appearance, delivered top-tier entertainment with his upgraded visual styling and his signature "pronunciation issue," bringing big laughs to viewers.

Making her first appearance, comedian Kim Ji-yu targeted the next "Yu-line" by closely shadowing Yu Jae-seok, turning the set into a sea of laughter. Kim Ji-yu expressed her excitement by saying, "It feels like my dream has come true," and upon hearing that she needed to stay next to Yu Jae-seok to get screen time, she boldly rushed over to him uncalled and showed off her shameless friendliness by asking, "Senior, why?" When Yu Jae-seok firmly turned her down, Kim Ji-yu playfully quipped, "You're saying so many good things that I feel like crying," proving her exceptional variety skills.

Meanwhile, the "Jongno Marble" race ended with a victory for Kim Jong-kook's team after a close battle between Yu Jae-seok's team and Kim Jong-kook's team.

With three spicy penalties awaiting them—water slaps, drinking bitter Gosamcha tea, and water buckets—Yu Jae-seok drew all three penalties during the running ball draw, showcasing his unrivaled "unlucky hand" charm and bringing strong laughs until the very end.

Actor Choi Minsik is returning to the screen in the Hollywood remake film "The Intern" following the box office success of "Exhuma," which drew 10 million moviegoers.

"The Intern" tells a workplace story that transcends generations and job ranks, beginning when Keeho (Choi Minsik), a 37-year veteran senior intern, joins the company of Sun-woo (Han Sohee), who rapidly emerged as a dark horse in the fashion industry three years after launch.

Choi Minsik is widely recognized as one of Korea's representative acting powerhouses. He earned the title of the original "man of Cannes" through deep ties to the Cannes Film Festival with "Happy End," "Painted Fire," "Oldboy," and "Crying Fist." He also led films that rewrote Korean box office history, including "Shiri," "Nameless Gangster: Rules of the Time," "New World," and "The Admiral: Roaring Currents," which recorded the highest box office attendance in Korean film history. Notably, his recent work "Exhuma" (2024) drew 11.91 million viewers, achieving another 10-million milestone.

Attention is focused on his choice of "The Intern" as his new project. This work is a remake of the same-titled film starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, which attracted 3.61 million viewers domestically. In this film, Choi Minsik takes on the older intern role played by Robert De Niro.

Keeho, played by Choi Minsik, is a silver intern embarking on his second act in life as the youngest member of the fashion startup Oututu. As a veteran with 37 years of experience and plenty of age and background, Keeho wears a suit complete with sleeve protectors, adapting to unfamiliar digital culture and a free-spirited company atmosphere with his signature diligence and warm humanity while unfolding a cheerful K-office survival story.

In addition, as he is assigned as the direct intern to the young and capable rookie CEO Sun-woo (Han Sohee), the story is set to deliver deep empathy and comfort to audiences through communication and friendship that cross generations and job ranks.

Han Sohee, who worked alongside him, stated, "He is warm, affectionate, and even cute," raising anticipation for the charm Choi Minsik will portray as Keeho. Meanwhile, director Kim Do-young expressed admiration, saying, "Actor Choi Minsik is a complete genius. His ability to interpret and express characters is simply astounding and amazing," heightening expectations for another all-time great performance by the peerless actor Choi Minsik.

The must-watch performance of veteran actor Choi Minsik returning as a silver intern can be seen through the movie "The Intern," opening on Wednesday, September 16.

Shin Dong-yeob revealed his parenting approach on the latest broadcast.

On the August 9 episode of SBS's "My Little Old Boy", broadcaster Park Kyung-rim appeared and shared her own experiences as a mother preparing her child for college.

During the episode, Park Kyung-rim surprised everyone by revealing that her son is already 18 years old and will be a high school senior next year.

In response, Seo Jang-hoon asked, "As a mother preparing for the senior year, do you have any care secrets?" Park Kyung-rim replied, "Actually, I am not good at other things, but I believe that eating well and having energy from meals is the most important thing, so my principle is to prepare good meals for him."

Park Kyung-rim added with a witty remark, "Since it is vacation time these days, I pour my time and care into cooking with meal kits made by artisans," bringing laughter to the set.

Watching this, Seo Jang-hoon turned to Shin Dong-yeob and asked, "As a father who sent his daughter to Seoul National University, please pass on your know-how."

Shin Dong-yeob responded, "Ah, for me... a father's indifference?" He continued, "I told her that story. Meet a good man. You need to meet a good man as a boyfriend and also when you get married later. I told her what kind of men she should avoid."

Then Seo Jang-hoon said, "I heard that you only met your daughter once a month. You thoroughly waited to go inside until she fell asleep," and Shin Dong-yeob joked, "Because if she feels like I am paying attention, it might be a burden."

Shin Dong-yeob and Park Kyung-lim shared their long-standing connection.

On the August 9 broadcast of SBS "My Little Old Boy", entertainer Park Kyung-lim appeared while singing her hit song "Illusion of Swamp".

During the broadcast, Shin Dong-yeob expressed admiration, saying, "She has been singing it continuously for 24 years, and she has gotten even better than when she first started."

In response, Park Kyung-lim joked, "This is live performance that swallowed the album, live performance that devoured the album."

Park Kyung-lim then shared that she had known Shin Dong-yeob even before her debut, saying, "Shin Dong-yeob is friends with my oldest sister and brother-in-law. My oldest sister said her friend was debuting and watched the first broadcast with me, and that person was Shin Dong-yeob. At the time, my sister said that if he couldn't become a comedian, no one in our country could become one," drawing attention.

Shin Dong-yeob responded, "Her sister said her younger sibling had incredible talent, and that turned out to be Park Kyung-lim. After her debut, she soared to success, and I really felt that talent simply cannot be hidden no matter how hard you try."

Park Kyung-lim said that when she hosted programs alongside Shin Dong-yeob after her debut, it felt so surreal and like she was dreaming.

Park Kyung-lim has been making a major mark as an MC for entertainment events. Dominating the MC spots for nearly all press previews and production presentations of domestic releases, she is also well-known for preparing different outfits for each project.

Regarding her concept-tailored outfits, Park Kyung-lim showed her professional side, stating, "Because these are projects created by pouring one's soul into them, I prepare them so people can tell just by looking at the outfits."

At this, Shin Dong-yeob caused an outburst of laughter by saying, "She is practically like a pig's head in the entertainment industry."

Watching this, HAHA advised her, "Ji-yu, don't stay here, go over to Yu Jae-seok's side. Staying next to Yu Jae-seok gets you the most airtime."

Following this advice, Kim Ji-yu immediately ran over to Yu Jae-seok's side and playfully joked, "Sunbaenim, why? Did you call me?" Looking taken aback, Yu Jae-seok made a bewildered face and asked, "Me? When?"

Kim Ji-yu playfully kept up the act, saying, "You called me." To this, Yu Jae-seok replied, "I didn't call you, Ji-yu."

Kim Ji-yu then quipped, "Thank you so much. For saying so many nice things to me. Ah, I feel like I'm going to tear up," causing laughter as Yu Jae-seok vehemently protested, "I haven't said a single nice thing!"

Hong Jin-ho revealed his recent changes over the past six months.

On the August 9 broadcast of SBS "Running Man", Hong Jin-ho and Kim Ji-yu appeared as guests.

During the broadcast, it drew attention when the "Running Man" cast revealed that this was already Hong Jin-ho's 10th guest appearance on the show. Yu Jae-seok asked Hong Jin-ho, "When you appeared last time, you lost a lot of weight. What happened?"

In response, Hong Jin-ho shared his changed appearance over the past six months, saying, "Back then, I lost weight using Mounjaro, but after experiencing a severe yo-yo effect, I am taking Mounjaro again."

Jee Seokjin then pointed out Hong Jin-ho's eyes and asked, "What happened to your eyes?" This brought laughter as Hong Jin-ho explained that the swelling is currently going down after his blepharoptosis revision surgery.

He also mentioned that his daughter Ji-ah has turned 20 months old and he is spending busy days with childcare, eliciting envy from the single cast members.
