Seventeen logs 100m views with ‘Maestro' music video
It is the band's eighth music video to achieve the feat after those of 'Don't Wanna Cry,' 'Super,' 'Clap,' 'Very Nice,' 'Left and Right,' 'Hot,' and 'Rock with You.'
The R&B based dance number is the main track from its best-of album '17 Is Right Here,' which was released in April last year. The single topped the iTunes Top Songs Chart in 32 regions and exceeded 100 million streams on Spotify in one year, becoming its 14th song to reach the milestone on the platform.
The album debuted on Billboard 200 at No. 5 and sold over 2.96 million copies in the first week, setting a record for a K-pop compilation album.

Cambridge Dictionary adds 'skibidi' and 'tradwife' among 6,000 new words
LONDON — What the skibidi is happening to the English language? 'Skibidi' is one of the slang terms popularized by social media that are among more than 6,000 additions this year to the Cambridge Dictionary. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,' said Colin McIntosh, lexical program manager at Cambridge Dictionary, the world's largest online dictionary. 'Skibidi' is a gibberish term coined by the creator of an animated YouTube series and can mean 'cool' or 'bad' or be used with no real meaning as a joke. Other planned additions including 'tradwife," a contraction of 'traditional wife' referring to a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media, and "delulu,' a shortening of the word delusional that means 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to.' An increase in remote working since the pandemic has created the new dictionary entry 'mouse jiggler,' a device or piece of software used to make it seem like you are working when you are not. Concerns over climate change are behind the addition of 'forever chemical,' a harmful chemical that remains in the environment for a long time. Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than 2 billion words of written and spoken English, to monitor how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used, the company said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power," McIntosh said. (AP)

'Running Man' star Kim Jong-kook, 49, to wed in private ceremony
Singer, TV personality reveals wedding plans in handwritten letter to fans Monday Kim Jong-kook is officially off the market. The 49-year-old singer and television personality announced his wedding plans Monday via a handwritten letter posted to his official fan forum, revealing plans for a private ceremony in Seoul. "I'm getting married," Kim wrote in the letter, saying that while he had "tried dropping hints here and there," the news would likely surprise many fans. The wedding is to take place "in the near future" with family and close friends in attendance. The announcement comes just as Kim marks 30 years in entertainment. "This year's my 30th debut anniversary, and instead of making the album I wanted, I made my 'other half' instead," he wrote. Kim first made waves as part of the duo Turbo in 1995, before going solo as a singer and eventually winning artist of the year awards from all three major Korean broadcasters in 2005 — making him only the second artist to achieve that sweep since the 1980s. Fans abroad know Kim best from SBS' "Running Man," where he's been a main cast member since 2010. The variety show has become a global hit, particularly across Asia, with Kim's buff physique and no-nonsense attitude making him one of its most recognizable personalities. His fitness-focused YouTube channel, Gym Jong Kook, has also accumulated 3.2 million subscribers since its 2021 launch. The identity of Kim's bride-to-be was not disclosed. In May, Kim purchased a luxury apartment in Seoul's Gangnam, which he later referred to as his "newlywed home" during a variety show appearance in June, sparking speculation of possible upcoming nuptials. "It's very late, but it's such a relief I'm going like this ... right?" Kim wrote, addressing his longtime bachelor status. "I will work hard to live well."
