In addition, Jun Hyun-moo hosts a celebratory dinner to fulfill a promise made to "weightlifting fairy" Park Hye-jeong, who surpassed a total of 300 kg to claim a silver medal. Jun confesses his emotional reaction at the time, saying, "The moment '300' flashed on the screen subtitles during the competition, I almost burst into tears." Park Hye-jeong candidly opens up about everything from her special relationship with her rival, China's Li Wenwen, to her retirement plans, while also taking on the dance challenge for group RESCENE's "Pretty Girl" alongside Jun Hyun-moo.

Capturing the lingering emotions of the games and the honest stories of the national athletes, Part 2 of "Nagoya Galgoya" airs on Thursday, October 8, at 9 p.m.

Rapper Northfacegawd (real name Han Sang-hoon) has apologized for inserting an AI-generated likeness of professional gamer Faker (real name Lee Sang-hyeok) into his new music video.

Northfacegawd wrote on his social media, "I am sorry for causing confusion and inconvenience to many people by inserting an AI of player Faker into the final part of the music video for my song 'Faker.'"

He stated, "I had no bad intentions, such as trying to monetize a celebrity's face. This happened 100% due to my ignorance," and explained, "The video in question was deleted immediately." He added, "I sincerely apologize to player Faker and the SKT T1 fans who must have felt uncomfortable. Going forward, I will review things carefully before taking action."

"Faker" is the fourth track on the new album released by Northfacegawd on October 4. As an AI-generated appearance of Faker was included in the final part of the song's music video, criticism was raised over using a celebrity's face without consent.

Northfacegawd appeared on Mnet's "Show Me The Money 12," where he passed the Seoul preliminary round but was eliminated in the second preliminary round. He later appeared on "Show Me The Money 12: World of Yacha," where eliminated contestants competed again, and engaged in a 1-on-1 battle against rapper untell, losing by a single vote.

Northfacegawd has been sharing the reality of living as a rapper on social media. In August, he posted about working at a construction site, writing on social media, "I am 35 years old, and it has been about half a year since I started working as a general laborer doing manual work." He also revealed that he has been delivering milk for three years.

This album features 12 tracks, including the title track "Flyest Unc (Feat. 100kgold)," as well as "Glo to Your Grind (Feat. Namgoong Man)" and "With You (Feat. Skinny Brown)."

As the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" marks the 40th anniversary of its world premiere, actors Kim So-hyun and Yoon Young-seok, who starred in the 2001 original Korean premiere, have shared their congratulatory messages.

Kim So-hyun said, "Hearing that 'The Phantom of the Opera,' the production that changed my life, has reached its 40th anniversary makes me feel truly joyful and deeply moved. It has endured for 40 years as one of the most beloved productions in the world, and I hope it continues to be cherished and loved by even more people and shines on stage forever."

"The Phantom of the Opera" first raised its curtain in London's West End on October 9, 1986. The Korean-language production began in 2001 and celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

For both Kim So-hyun and Yoon Young-seok, this production served as their musical theater debut. During the 2001 original Korean premiere, the auditions to cast the Phantom drew attention at every phase. Yoon Young-seok was selected as Korea's very first Phantom after undergoing nine rounds of auditions over four months. Kim So-hyun, a vocal music graduate of Seoul National University, made her musical debut on this stage in the role of Christine.

Yoon Young-seok went on to participate in every Korean-language production since, taking the stage more than 600 times. Following the 2023 season, he will return for this 40th anniversary special season in the role of Monsieur André.

Yoon Young-seok reflected, "It is a production that feels like home, having allowed me to be reborn as a musical actor. I was incredibly lucky to begin my debut with 'The Phantom of the Opera,' which also came with tremendous pressure. I still vividly recall the immense happiness I felt after completing the first performance." He added, "I offer my heartfelt congratulations on the 40th anniversary of 'The Phantom of the Opera' and feel honored to add 25 years to its magnificent journey."

The 2001 Korean premiere attracted an audience of 240,000. According to the production company, the musical is recognized for introducing comprehensive industry systems—including production, sales, and marketing—to the local market, serving as a catalyst for the industrialization of Korean musicals. It later reached a cumulative audience of 1 million in 2012 and surpassed 1.5 million with the 2023 Busan production.

As Andrew Lloyd Webber's signature masterpiece, "The Phantom of the Opera" has been performed in 23 languages across 217 cities in 52 countries, drawing an audience of more than 160 million people. It depicts the story of the Phantom, a musical genius who hides his face behind a mask, Christine, who grows through his music, and Raoul, who loves Christine.

For the 40th anniversary special season, Choi Jae-rim, Jeon Dong-suk, and Park Kang-hyun have been cast as the Phantom; Lee Hae-won and Choi Sun-ho as Christine; and Song Won-geun and Kim Sung-sik as Raoul. Yoon Young-seok will portray Monsieur André, Lee Sang-joon will play Monsieur Firmin, Kim Ah-sun will appear as Madame Giry, Evelyn and Han Bo-ra will share the role of Carlotta, Lee Sang-moon will play Piangi, and Jo Ha-rin will take on the role of Meg Giry.

The 40th anniversary special season of "The Phantom of the Opera" will run from December 22 to February 28, 2027, at Blue Square Woori Bank Hall in Seoul.

Seo Jang-hoon, once celebrated as Korea's "national treasure center," is set to reveal his passionate basketball journey—ranging from behind-the-scenes stories of his 2002 Busan Asian Games gold medal to accurately predicting the 2026 national team's gold medal triumph.

On the upcoming episode of the SBS variety show "My Genie Secretary", airing Friday night on October 9, Seo Jang-hoon's untold stories will unfold as he appears as the featured "My Star."

During the shoot, Seo Jang-hoon gave an update on his life as an entertainer, bringing laughter to the set by quipping, "Little kids think I'm just a tall comedian," noting that younger generations often overlook his legendary athletic career. His past reputation as a "national treasure center" was then brought back to light, leading into the untold stories behind the legendary 2002 Busan Asian Games.

Back then, South Korea fought a grueling battle against China, led by 227-centimeter giant Yao Ming. Thanks to Seo Jang-hoon's dramatic three-pointer in overtime, Korea clinched the gold medal for the first time in 20 years. Watching archival footage of Seo shedding tears during an interview while crediting his teammates, host Lee Seo-jin also recalled the emotional moment, sharing, "It made me choke up too."

In particular, Seo had previously expressed confidence in the national team competing at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, declaring, "Right now is the golden generation," and predicting a gold medal. His prediction came true when the team indeed took home the gold, sparking admiration from everyone on set.

Additionally, Seo will reveal his unique approach to mental management, honed through his entertaining "extreme rage character" persona on variety shows. Explaining his personal "mental reset method," he said, "I immediately forget it and shake it off once it's over so it doesn't interfere with the next day's taping."

Seo Jang-hoon's gripping sports stories and personal charm will be unveiled on "My Genie Secretary," airing Friday, October 9, at 11:10 PM.

"Maestro Jang" has heightened anticipation by releasing a teaser video featuring enthusiastic love calls from top stars.

SBS's new variety show "Maestro Jang," premiering on Thursday, October 15 at 9:00 p.m., follows Jang Hang-jun—who was at times pathetic and at times servile, yet more brilliant than anyone—as he holds a secret audition to cast top actors in his autobiographical film "Maestro Jang," unfolding a witty, give-and-take talk show between the master director and the stars.

In the newly released third teaser, the stars drew attention by continuing to show their respect and affectionate support for director Jang Hang-jun.

First, actor Song Joong-ki referenced the box office numbers of director Jang Hang-jun's film "The King's Warden," saying, "What do you mean 10 million? It's 16 million." He then showed special respect, adding, "(When he calls) I find myself answering the phone with both hands without even realizing it."

Next, Seolhyun brought excitement by confessing, "I really want to work with you at least once. I'll wait for your call," while close friend Jang Hyun-sung drew laughter by asking, "Please don't forget me." Kim Min-jae appealed with a back-to-basics attitude, saying, "There is an actor named Kim Min-jae," and comedian Jang Doyoun drew big laughs by pleading, "Please cast me just once!"

With top stars ranging from actors to comedians sending love calls to earn a spot in "top choice director" Jang Hang-jun's autobiographical film, attention is focused on who will ultimately take the honor of being cast.

SBS's new cinematic talk variety show "Maestro Jang" premieres on Thursday, October 15 at 9:00 p.m.

SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: Mafia in White" has raised anticipation for its premiere by releasing a 4-minute highlight reel.

Premiering on Friday, October 9, "Doctor X: Mafia in White" is a refreshing medical noir depicting the journey of Gye Soo-jung (played by Kim Ji-won), also known as "the crazy Gye of the operating room," who breaks down massive absurdities with genius surgical skills that know neither failure nor compromise.

The 4-minute highlight video released on October 7 begins with the extraordinary entrance of mercenary physician Gye Soo-jung, dispatched to Guseo University Hospital. As the top ace working under Jang Hee-sook (played by Lee Jung-eun), the head of a physician staffing agency, Gye Soo-jung throws the hospital into chaos through radical actions—declaring her refusal to participate in patient rounds, department dinners, and ghostwriting research papers, while also pushing a patient arriving with excessive security out of a wheelchair to speed through carrying a critically ill patient instead.

Following this, Gye Soo-jung's god-like surgical skills are revealed. Watching Gye Soo-jung prepare to leave mid-surgery, intern Park Tae-kyung (played by Kim Woo-seok) misunderstands, believing she is abandoning the patient for personal advancement and profit. However, it is soon revealed that Gye Soo-jung had already completed the surgery flawlessly, leaving everyone stunned.

Additionally, actor Jang Seung-jo is set to make a special appearance as Doctor Na Dae-il, forming a new dynamic of conflict with Gye Soo-jung.

In particular, glimpses of Gye Soo-jung's mysterious past were also captured. Along with scenes in a tense war zone, the shocking revelation that "a patient she operated on died after two months" amplified curiosity regarding her hidden backstory.

Toward the end of the video, Hospital Director Boo Seung-kwon (played by Son Hyun-joo) tries to check her, remarking, "You can't go without failing forever." To this, Gye Soo-jung's resolute charisma shines as she firmly states, "Don't worry. Because I never fail," previewing an exhilarating, satisfying catharsis for future viewers.

Drawing attention as SBS's biggest tentpole drama of the second half of the year, "Doctor X: Mafia in White" will premiere on Friday, October 9, at 9:50 p.m.

Former LABOUM member YUJEONG (34) will tie the knot this December.

On October 8, YUJEONG personally shared the news of her marriage by posting a handwritten letter on her social media, writing, "This coming winter, I am getting married," and "I have met a wonderful partner with whom I have decided to spend the rest of my life, and we plan to move forward together."

Her agency, DCL ENT, also officially announced via a press release on the same day, "YUJEONG will hold a wedding ceremony with her partner of the same age on December 12 at a venue in Seoul." According to the agency, the groom-to-be is of the same age and works in the securities industry in Yeouido, and the two promised to marry after dating for about two years.

YUJEONG introduced her fiancé by saying, "He is someone who cherishes me like a daughter, even though I always thought I had lived bravely and well on my own, and someone who makes me feel every single day just how much I am loved." She added, "I have met a good, dependable person who brings me peace of mind whenever we are together." YUJEONG has been preparing for the wedding over the past year.

YUJEONG shared that words of support from fans saying, "I hope you now meet a good person and become even happier," had stayed in her heart for a long time. She said, "Thanks to that encouragement, I think I was able to gather the courage to begin a new page in my life," adding, "Just as you supported my new beginning five years ago, I would be deeply grateful if you could warmly support my new life this time as well." She continued, "I will also continue to live diligently just as I do now and strive to greet you with even better sides of myself."

YUJEONG debuted in 2014 with LABOUM and served as the group's leader. In September 2021, when her seven-year exclusive contract with her agency expired, she decided not to renew and parted ways with the group. At the time, YUJEONG stated, "I am putting a period to my life as the leader of LABOUM and will continue to move forward with new challenges." The remaining members renewed their contracts and continued their activities as a four-member group.

Since leaving the group, YUJEONG has worked as a broadcast host and plans to continue her broadcasting activities even after marriage.

Singer Seo Inyoung, who is preparing for her remarriage, expressed her apologies to singer Lyn, who sang the congratulatory song at her first wedding.

On October 7, a video released on Seo Inyoung's YouTube channel showed Seo Inyoung visiting the home of senior singer Baek Z Young. Seo Inyoung opened up about being scolded by Baek Z Young in a waiting room during her rookie days, and Baek Z Young personally cooked the sujebi (hand-pulled dough soup) Seo Inyoung had requested while apologizing for the past incident.

On this day, Seo Inyoung playfully complained, "Unnie, you adored Lyn unnie and Jung-ah unnie [from Jewelry], so I felt it was unfair because I wanted to be loved too." Explaining the situation back then, Seo Inyoung said, "There was someone younger whom Jiyoung unnie cared about who had an awkward relationship with me, and because she is so loyal, she did not view me favorably."

The decisive moment Seo Inyoung remembered occurred in a waiting room. Seo Inyoung had entered the waiting room shared by Lyn and Baek Z Young to see Lyn, where she was laughing and chatting loudly with Lyn, until Baek Z Young could no longer hold back and told her, "Seo Inyoung, I don't think this is the time for you to be acting like this." Baek Z Young recalled, "Looking at her now, she is kind, soft-hearted, and easygoing, but back then we had never really talked properly, and she did not appear humble."

The two decided to call Lyn directly to ask about what happened back then. Regarding Lyn, Seo Inyoung felt apologetic, saying, "She sang the congratulatory song at my first wedding. I feel so embarrassed that I couldn't reach out to her." When Seo Inyoung told Lyn, "Unnie, I'm getting married again," Lyn responded coolly, "Then call me," while belatedly confiding that she "felt bad" when hearing the news of Inyoung's divorce.

Seo Inyoung is scheduled to remarry a businessman six years her senior in the second half of this year.

Boy group ATEEZ is releasing a new album after five months, following the strong success of their previous release on the US Billboard charts and domestic music shows.

At midnight on October 8, agency KQ Entertainment released a comeback spoiler video for ATEEZ's new album "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6" on their official social media channels, confirming their return on November 13.

The video unfolds around a ship, which symbolizes ATEEZ. It shows a ship reflected on a monitor inside a frozen space with a skull resting in front of it, followed by a massive ship appearing in an everyday setting. Scenes following an impact then continue, and the clip concludes with the ship forging ahead through huge waves.

Along with the video, the phrase "CRASH TO BEGIN" was also revealed. Delivering the message that a collision leads to a new beginning, it appears to hint at the direction of the upcoming album.

With their 14th mini album "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" released in June, ATEEZ achieved their third career No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the main album chart in the US, and marked their ninth overall entry into the Billboard 200 top 10.

The title track "BAD" also enjoyed lasting popularity in South Korea. Although ATEEZ did not make appearances on music programs after concluding official promotional activities, the track claimed first place for two consecutive weeks on SBS' "INKIGAYO" in September, about three months after its release.

ATEEZ's new album "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6" will be released on November 13 at 2 PM.
