Stray Kids garner 200m views with ‘Case 143' music video
Stray Kids generated 200 million YouTube views with the music video for 'Case 143' as of Saturday, label JYP Entertainment said Sunday.
The group now has seven videos that reached the milestone, including those for 'God's Menu,' 'Back Door,' 'Thunderous,' 'Maniac,' '5-Star' and 'Lalalala.'
'Case 143' fronted the group's seventh EP 'Maxident,' which was rolled out in October 2022 and cinched the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. The lead single was the band's first "love" song, and the visual showed the members solving a case in police uniforms.
Meanwhile, the band resumed its "Dominate" world tour in Santiago, Chile, last week. After the sold-out two-date show, Stray Kids will head to Brazil, where they will go live three times, in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday and in Sao Paulo on April 5-6.

'Hallyu' expert publishes 'Next Korean Wave' to present future vision
Saebit Publishing, a leading Korean publisher, said Monday it has published a new book, "Next Korean Wave: The Future of Hallyu Shaped by Entertainment and Technology," by Samseog Ko, a leading expert in Korean content and IT policy. This comprehensive volume explores the challenges and opportunities facing "hallyu," the Korean Wave or the global boom of Korean pop culture, in the era of artificial intelligence and digital transformation and presents a bold vision for Korea's future as a global cultural powerhouse. Over the past 30 years, hallyu has become Korea's signature brand, a powerful cultural asset and a key driver of national competitiveness and future growth. Dramas, K-pop and other K-content have achieved global success, making hallyu a defining cultural phenomenon of the 21st century. However, the Korean Wave now faces new threats: anti-hallyu sentiment due to cultural differences, lack of content diversity and fan fatigue. Experts have raised concerns about the "crisis" or "peak" of hallyu, warning of potential stagnation if these issues are not addressed. Additionally, the domestic content industry's heavy reliance on global streaming platforms like Netflix and YouTube has weakened its self-sufficiency and ecosystem sustainability, raising concerns about hallyu's long-term viability. The rise of generative AI and advanced technologies are also bringing revolutionary changes to the content industry, fundamentally transforming how content is created, produced and consumed. This book asks fundamental questions: "Can hallyu remain sustainable in the age of AI?" and "What roles should K-content and hallyu play at home and abroad?" Ko answers these questions through vivid accounts of his field research in Southeast Asia, the United States, China and other hallyu hotspots. The book consists of two main parts. Chapter 1 summarizes hallyu's past and present. It examines the path hallyu has taken over the past 30 years. Chapter 2 consists of content contemplating hallyu's future. It contemplates the future of hallyu centered on the combination of entertainment and technology, including content, and presents specific measures for what to do and how for sustainable hallyu. By introducing in detail the global content and IT trends that the author personally observed at CES, the world's largest IT exhibition, and SXSW, a content festival, it presents the direction that the domestic content industry and hallyu should take. Ko currently serves as chair professor at Dongguk University's AI Convergence College and standing representative of the National Assembly Entertech Forum. He served as chairman of the K-Culture Strategy Committee under the Global Responsible Power Nation Committee directly under Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung.

Starship Entertainment wins lawsuit against cyberbully 'Taldeok Prison Camp'
Notorious "cyber wrecker" operator faces continous defeat in lawsuits Starship Entertainment, the agency behind girl group Ive, has won a partial victory in its lawsuit for damages against cyberbully YouTube channel "Taldeok Prison Camp." On Tuesday, the court ruled in favor of Starship, ordering the channel operator, a woman surnamed Park, born in 1988, to pay 50 million won ($37,000) in damages. The verdict will serve as a strong warning to a growing number of so-called "cyber wrecker" channels, which profit from spreading malicious, baseless rumors and defamatory content about celebrities. From November 2022, Starship filed both civil and criminal suits against 'Taldeok Prison Camp,' citing the continuous spread of false claims that severely defamed the agency and its artists, disrupted business operations, and caused significant emotional distress to both the artists and their fans. The agency initially sought 100 million won in damages. To identify the anonymous channel operator, Starship utilized the US legal system's discovery process. They first obtained a disclosure order from a US court and demanded that the identity of the person behind "Taldeok Prison Camp" be revealed to Google's US headquarters. Park became the first anonymous Korean YouTuber to be unmasked and brought to court. Between October 2021 and June 2023, Park uploaded 23 defamatory videos targeting seven celebrities. Earlier this year, Jang Wonyoung also won a separate civil suit against Park, with the court ordering Park to pay another 50 million won in damages. Park has faced other lawsuits and convictions for spreading malicious rumors about other K-pop stars, including Kang Daniel, Karina, Suho, V and Jungkook. In one such case, she was convicted in the first trial and sentenced to two years in prison, with three years' probation. The appeal is ongoing. In a statement following the court's decision, Starship said, 'Through this ruling, we have pursued every possible civil and criminal avenue against the operator of 'Taldeok Prison Camp.' We believe this result holds her legally accountable beyond the financial gains she made from her illegal acts.' The agency added, 'This case sends a clear and powerful warning to so-called 'cyber wrecker' creators who profit from content that defames, insults or slanders others for clicks and revenue.'
