'K-Pop Big 2 Super Concert' Featuring GOT7's BamBam & I-DLE Cancelled; Organiser Issues Statement
It's only the first week of June, and things are unfortunately not off to a good start. Back in April, it was announced that GOT7 member BamBam (뱀뱀) and members of I-DLE (아이들)(formerly (G)-IDLE) would be performing in Malaysia at a joint concert on 14th June. The idols were scheduled to take to the stage at the K-pop Big 2 Super Concert at Stadium Merdeka, and fans have been eagerly anticipating the event. Sadly, concert organiser Live Universe Ent announced yesterday (Monday, 2nd June) that the concert has been cancelled. Here's what happened: Live Universe Ent issued an official statement informing fans that the K-pop Big 2 Super Concert featuring BamBam and (G)I-DLE will no longer proceed, as the concert permit was not approved. The statement reads: 'Despite our best efforts and full compliance with all regulatory requirements, the concert permit application was unfortunately not approved, leading to the cancellation of the event. We sincerely apologise to all fans, artists, sponsors and partners for the disappointment, and thank you for your unwavering support.' The organiser also stated that all ticket holders will receive full refunds via Ticket2U, and details of the refund process will be sent by email. Shortly after the announcement was posted, fans were understandably upset by the news, with many beginning to speculate about the real reason behind the cancellation. Some questioned how the concert could have been announced and ticket sales launched in the first place if the organiser was still awaiting permit approval, describing the move as extremely risky. Others suspected that the event was cancelled due to poor ticket sales, as Stadium Merdeka was simply too large a venue for a two-act K-pop concert. Regardless of the reason, fans were looking forward to the show and had booked flights and accommodation, only for it to be cancelled. At the time of writing, neither BamBam, I-DLE, nor the agencies have commented on the cancellation. We hope that this doesn't affect future plans of performing in Malaysia, as we're not always considered during tour announcements.

Park Bo Young reveals WHY she blocked her company's number for 7 days after filming Our Unwritten Seoul: 'I had to…'
In a move as unexpected as a K-drama plot twist, Park Bo Young vanished from the radar after wrapping up filming for Our Unwritten Seoul. During a candid appearance on the YouTube show Halmyungsoo, she casually revealed that she told her company not to contact her, and then blocked their number. As soon as she dropped that bombshell, her co-stars, GOT7's Park Jinyoung and Ryu Kyung Soo, stared at her in astonishment. But what made the lead actress go full ghost mode on her team? Well, the reason is hilariously relatable. Park Bo Young shared that she just wanted one week of peace after filming ended. 'My MBTI is ISFP. The biggest ISFP flaw is that we don't leave the couch,' she admitted with a laugh. She went on, 'It was my dream to spend a whole week at home just ordering food and watching OTTs.' Park Bo Young explained that she's a 'big MIA (Missing In Action) person' and absolutely loves being at home on her couch. And it seems that the dream finally came true. What's Our Unwritten Seoul All About? At the heart of Our Unwritten Seoul are identical twins Yoo Mi Ji and Yoo Mi Rae (double role played by Park Bo Young), who share the same face but live completely different lives. Mi Ji, the younger sister, is a former rising star in track and field, now enjoying a laid-back, free-spirited lifestyle. Meanwhile, her older twin, Mi Rae is a perfectionist through and through, building a stable career at a public corporation. On the surface, they couldn't be more different — but for reasons yet to be revealed, they decide to switch lives, diving headfirst into a bold and risky charade. Then there's Lee Ho Su (Played by Jiyoung), a lawyer at a prestigious law firm. He may appear easygoing, but beneath the surface, he hides a complicated past. He lives quietly, never fully revealing his emotions… until a fateful encounter begins to stir something deep inside him. He meets Mi Ji, who is living his sister's life. Will things change between Lee Ho Su and Mi Ji? Full of secrets, identity twists, and emotional undercurrents, Our Unwritten Seoul is set to release episodes 3 and 4 on May 31 and June 1 2025, at 5:30 PM KST.

Our Unwritten Seoul first impression: Does Park Bo Young even need a male lead in her K-dramas anymore?
Park Bo Young may not be riding a major winning streak lately, but she never fails to surprise with her genre-hopping choices and magnetic chemistry with co-stars. In Our Unwritten Seoul, Netflix's latest K-content drop, she proves she's not just the queen of rom-coms for her leading men, but she also can have crackling chemistry with herself as well. The story revolves around twin sisters, Mi Rae and Mi Ji, both played by Bo Young. The show debuted to a modest 3% viewership in Korea, but pulled a dramatic U-turn, soaring to No. 1 on Netflix Korea's Top 10 Series list just three days post-premiere. Globally, it's already pulling more heat than her Daily Dose of Sunshine and the Melo Movie (her last two OTT hits). And what's a Seoul story without a little swoon? GOT7's Jinyoung is a scene-stealer in a sea of the same. Also read: Go Min Si's school bullying controversy explained: Is her new Netflix K-drama being axed? A typical twin story in the K-drama world would've gone the Shakespearean route, a modern-day Comedy of Errors spin, with rivalry and chaos between two identical sisters separated at birth. But when the maker is Park Shin Woo (Our Beloved Summer, Romance Is a Bonus Book), you know the script won't play by the rules. And though Seoul might be the backdrop, it's the soul of the two sisters that's truly interlinked. These sisters, who, as kids, playfully swapped lives to dodge punishments, always stayed in sync—Mi Rae, the studious one, would study for Mi Ji, while Mi Ji, who oddly enjoyed gulping medicines, would return the favour. But life, as always, had other plans. A tragedy hits the younger sister. Mi Rae moves to Seoul, and distance creeps in; soon, they're no longer the inseparable duo they once were. And just when they think they've drifted too far, fate brings them back together. Mi Ji sees the cracks in her sister's façade and proposes a familiar solution: swap lives again. Only this time, it's not a game, it's a high-stakes gamble. And there's way more at risk. Also read: Good Boy: Park Bo Gum says he'd 'love to do an Indian musical', talks Muhammad Ali as he gears to pack a punch in upcoming K-drama There's something oddly poetic about the names Mi Ji and Mi Rae. Maybe it's how they sound—or what they mean: 'unknown' and 'future'. Fitting. Like the names, they grow up, drift, bend, and break. Just two episodes in, and it's already circling the space that Kim Ji Won, Son Suk Ku's My Liberation Notes once held. Our Unwritten Seoul taps into that gut-level feeling of being an adult who suddenly realises they've stopped dreaming, not because they don't want to, but because the rent's due and survival is the dream now. Two sisters, two lives, carrying different kinds of weight. One's chasing a dream. The other's already in it, burnt out, stuck, can't quit, can't complain. If we have to to classify, Our Unwritten Seoul leans slice-of-life over rom-com or your usual sibling-centric K-drama. Life takes away Mi Ji's only talent, running, gone after a brutal injury kills her shot at becoming a national athlete. Mi Rae, meanwhile, climbs the ranks to become a senior specialist in Korea's finance department. She's got the title, the paycheck, the sharp wardrobe, while her twin's back in the village, juggling jobs, farming, cleaning schools, caring for their grandmother. Same face. Different worlds. But while Mi Rae quietly endures it all, drowning in thoughts she can't speak, Mi Ji still burns bright. Park Bo Young's switch-up is a rare move in her rock-solid career. She's always been familiar, safe, Healer, Strong Girl Bong-soon, Oh My Ghost. Not anymore. While it's too early to judge JinYoung's character, what we do know is this: he's the boy with partial hearing loss from an accident, burns from childhood, and a quiet place in the sisters' orbit. The only one who can tell Mi Ji and Mi Rae apart, even when their own mother can't. He carries a soft spot for Mi Ji, but something tells me he's going to carry a lot more by the time this wraps. His arc is far from done. Our Take Our Unwritten Seoul is a must-watch, especially if you've seen Bo Young's journey from the bubbly, petite girl next door to someone who still carries that charm, only now she's carrying the whole drama. This isn't just another pretty K-drama dipped in soft lighting, it digs into burnout, emotional fatigue, the daily job grind, and still makes space for love. And when the sisters start swapping places, you almost feel like you're switching with them, one moment you're Mi Ji, the next, Mi Rae. Torn between dreams and duty, burnout and hope, but somehow still whole. On the surface, it's a beautiful tale, but when you zoom out, it's a heartbreak. And yes, we'll absolutely be back for episode 3.
