RM Beats His BTS Bandmate J-Hope's Record With A New No. 1
"Stop the Rain" debuts at No. 1 on one of the four tallies on which it arrives this frame. The collaboration between RM and Tablo launches in the top spot on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. It enters in first place on the list of the bestselling rap-only tunes in the U.S., with a little more than 3,500 copies purchased, according to Luminate.
This new tune gives RM his third No. 1 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. He first led the charge alongside Anderson .Paak on "Still Life" in December 2022. Last year, he doubled his total sum when he joined Megan Thee Stallion on "Neva Play."
With a trio of champions now to his credit, RM breaks a tie with J-Hope for the second-most leaders on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart among South Korean musicians. He trails behind only Suga, his BTS bandmate, who has led the ranking both under that name and as Agust D.
"Stop the Rain" earns RM his lucky thirteenth top 10 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart. That figure includes a pair of tracks — "Yun" with Erykah Badu and "Nuts" — that missed out on ruling by just one space. Impressively, RM has never appeared lower than No. 7 on this genre-specific list. He settled into that space in June 2024 alongside Domi & JD Beck on the track "?" (Interlude).

Cast Of ‘Law And The City' Had Fun Filming And Dining Together
Law and the City is a legal drama about five friends, all lawyers, who meet to discuss their lives and cases over a series of meals. Lee Jong-suk, Mun Ga-young, Kang You-seok, Ryu Hye-young and Im Seong-jae play the friends who share professional and personal challenges, and in real life, the cast also had no problem getting close, despite differences in age or professional seniority. 'This might be hard to believe,' said Im Seong-jae (Newtopia, When The Stars Gossip) . 'But near the end of the filming I actually realized and was surprised by the ages of our five associate friends. We got so close, like real friends that I completely forgot about our ages." Im plays Ha Sung-gi, a talented lawyer who takes a special interest in helping interns, but avoids talking about his own past. 'Jong-suk and Ka-young have such a strong presence you hardly notice their age,' said Im. "Hye-young approached every scene like a veteran and You Seok often leads like a senior, even coming up with unexpected ideas. Because of this close bond, we didn't really think about age while working together.' At almost every meal Im's character posted photos of the food they shared, but in real life, he rarely takes food photos. 'Probably because I don't relly use social media,' he said with a laugh. 'Honestly, I rarely ever turn on the camera.' There are so many eating scenes in the drama it's practically a mukbang and Mun Ka-young (My Dearest Nemesis, True Beauty) did have a favorite. 'There's a famous tofu restaurant right in front of the Seoul Arts Center,' said Mun. 'Since we started filming early in the morning, I had tofu stew and pan-fried tofu for my first meal pof the day. I remember suggesting to the cast that we should come back some time just to enjoy the food together, aside from filming.' Kang You-seok (Resident Playbook, When Life Gives You Tangerines) notes that the frequent meal scenes did make them hungry. The cast met at restaurants, like their on screen counterparts, when they were not filming. 'We'd chat, review the script, and at other times just eat together,' said Kang. 'Those moments definitely helped us grow closer.' Kang plays Cho Chang-won, a lawyer unhappy with his current job and often abusive boss. His character occasionally says things without thinking, which can make things awkward. 'I think that's one point where I'm similar to him,' he said with a laugh. 'As I've gotten older I try to think before I speak, but even now there are still times when I say things before fully thinking them through. Another similarity is that we're both cheerful and enjoy being around people.' Ryu Hye-Young (The Nice Guy, Gangnam B-Side) plays Bae Mun-jeong, an attorney with a strong sense of justice. 'I think it comes from her deep affection for people,' said Ryu. 'Bae Mun-jeong is full of love for others. Because she views the world positively, that belief seems to be her driving force.' She was drawn to the script because her character is very clever at using the legal system to achieve personal justice for her clients. 'What's most appealing is how the law lets you protect justice in many different ways within an established system," said Ryu. "That makes it truly meaningful for me.' Mun's character Hui-ji became a lawyer because she wanted to protect the people she loves. Her own family went through a difficult incident. 'Hui-ji grows a lot through meeting many people and handling various cases,' said Mun. 'She naturally listens to others' stories with warmth and a genuine heart because she knows these stories are not so different from her own.' Lee Jong-suk (Romance Is A Bonus Book, W: Two Worlds) plays Ju-hyeong. He's an excellent attorney, the person his fellow lawyers consult when they're in a quandary. It's the first role for Lee since he appeared in Big Mouth in 2022. 'I had been thinking about what kind of project to take on next and I wanted to try something more relaxed and relatable—something I hadn't explored before,' said Lee. 'I was looking for a drama that viewers could comfortably watch at any time without feeling lost, even if they missed an episode, and Law and the City felt like the perfect fit.' The title itself was appealing to him, and although the story centers on lawyers, it leans more toward a slice-of-life and office drama rather than a traditional legal series. 'It highlights the small moments of every—friends sharing concerns, encouraging each other, and chatting over lunch," said Lee. "I believed this was a story many people could relate to, which is why I chose to be a part of it.' Ju-hyeong may be a brilliant attorney because he keeps his emotions in check. According to Lee, these traits help him judge cases more rationally. Because he approaches each case without bias or emotion, he can handle work objectively. However, he wasn't always like this. 'There were times when he was deceived by clients and couldn't understands their true intentions," said Lee. "Times when he defended a case he believed in only to discover the truth. His logical and emotional control didn't come naturally but developed over time. Through the challenges and experiences of being a lawyer he gradually learned to manage his emotions and began approaching cases more logically rather than seeing them solely from the client's point of view. This approach likely proved to be more effective.' This survival strategy developed after nine years of navigating the challenges of working life. Outside of his work, Ju-hyeong fortunately has supportive friends he can trust and relay on. 'Outside of work, I imagine he also views situations more objectively,' said Lee. "Ultimately, we can learn that avoiding unnecessary emotional drain helps us focus on the core issues that need to be resolved. I hope everyone finds happiness.' Happiness is what the five characters in this drama are striving for and they do find some happiness in sharing with each other. Law and the City airs in the U.S. on the drama was directed by Park Seung-woo and directed by Seung-hyun.

Four years strong: The Mthombenis mark anniversary with romantic adventures in Asia
Dr Musa and Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni celebrate 4 years of marriage in Asia. The couple shared their sweet anniversary messages on their socials. The Mthombenis tied the knot in 2021. Four years into their fairytale marriage, Dr Musa and Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni are still serving nothing but pure relationship goals. Their latest anniversary celebration proves that some love stories keep getting sweeter. The power couple has been displaying their adoration for each other, turning social media into a love letter platform. Taking to Instagram to mark their special milestone, both stars melted hearts with deeply personal anniversary tributes that showcase exactly why South Africans can't get enough of their romance. 'Happy 4 years of marriage to this shooting star of a woman, Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni. Literally the best 4 years I've been doing anything. It's our anniversary, naughty girl. We did it and continue to do it,' Dr Musa wrote, with his signature playful tone. But the beloved TV personality didn't stop there. True to form, he continued singing his wife's praises: 'To the lady that acts like she's full so that I can eat the last of the food on her plate. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni (@liesllaurie) 'To the lady who eats the crust off my pizza slices. To the lady who owes me R500 that I know I'll never get back.' Liesl's response was equally heartwarming: 'You know I'm a shy person who isn't good with words, so I have little to say on a special day such as this, except that marrying you was the best decision I've ever made. I'll continue to choose you every day until the end of time,' she shared. Their anniversary celebrations aren't confined to Instagram posts alone. The married couple is currently living their best life on holiday, celebrating their four-year milestone with a romantic escape that spans from Hong Kong to an idyllic island getaway in the Philippines, because why settle for one destination when you can have two? Dr Musa Mthombeni and Liesl have become synonymous with wanderlust, earning their reputation as South Africa's ultimate globetrotting power couple. They've mastered the art of putting the fun back into travel, turning every trip into content that leaves their followers with a serious case of fomo (fear of missing out). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr Musa Mthombeni (@drmusamthombeni) The secret to their jet-setting lifestyle? An uncompromising approach to adventure that many couples could learn from. When previously asked about how they manage to travel so extensively despite their busy schedules, the couple revealed their travel philosophy. 'Once it is in the diary, it is in the diary. We will then move all our work commitments, shoots, family time, and all our other important things in our lives in and around that travel time because once the trip is booked, we are going, and we will make it happen,' Laurie-Mthombeni explained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr Musa Mthombeni (@drmusamthombeni) Dr Musa said, 'You will never reach a point in your life where you find yourself available to travel. Retirement is too far for you to say you will travel then. I'll have too many broken bones to really enjoy travelling. So, I make the time.' 'Even if you find yourself losing money in the short run, do it. If you have leave days, take the leave days. So, do as much as you can while you're still young and able to travel, because the future isn't guaranteed, and anything can happen. If you can travel, do it.'
