Seventeen, Earthshaking Speech at UNESCO Headquarters "Too Young to Give Up... Will Keep Moving Forward"
- The group Seventeen made history as the first K-pop artists to take the stage at the UNESCO headquarters. On the 14th in Paris, France, at the main hall of the UNESCO headquarters, Seventeen delivered a speech and performance at the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum. Seventeen became the first K-pop artist to be allocated an entire session during the UNESCO General Assembly, conducting a session for approximately one hour. On this day, Seventeen spoke on the theme of "Youth Solidarity and Education Changing the Future of Youth and the Earth." The member who began the speech first, Seungkwan, mentioned his hometown, Jeju Island, stating, "I grew up with my own dreams on this beautiful island, although it's a faraway island from the capital, Seoul. Dreaming of a bigger world and the dream of becoming a K-pop star, performing in front of countless fans someday." He expressed his overwhelming emotions by saying, "The little boy who dreamed of the future on the island designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site is now standing at the UNESCO headquarters today." Continuing, member Jun delivered his speech in Chinese, mentioning the other members, "We are each other's teachers. We practice together, create together, and have become better individuals gradually. Today, Seventeen is standing here because we faced difficult situations and didn't give up. The 13 of us have helped each other, step by step, to come this far, and we will continue to move forward," expressing their determination. Woozi reflected on the journey to this day, saying, "There were people who thought Seventeen would fail in the early days, but today, I think we are here because we didn't give up. We were too young to be discouraged. Success didn't come quickly, but the time spent burning with passion with the members was always enjoyable. The members were always cheerful, never losing their laughter in any situation. Our practice room was always filled with positive words like 'fighting' and 'a little more.' Believing that focusing on the cheerful voices of the members rather than the negative external words, I became more convinced that things would go well with these friends," mentioning each member's name with confidence. In the fall of 2016, Mingyu revealed an episode where, after receiving his first settlement, he donated 13 goats to children in Tanzania, Africa. Mingyu received a letter from the children, and he shared, "The message said, 'I will raise the goats well for my dreams.' This message stayed with us for a long time. It reminded us of the journey we've been on for our dreams. Sharing dreams is, in essence, sharing positivity and hope." Joshua promised to actively participate as a UNESCO ambassador to raise awareness about the importance of education in the current era. Vernon continued by reading the lyrics of Seventeen's songs. In the subsequent performance, Seventeen selected a total of five songs, including "World," "Darling," "Headliner," "Music's God," and "Let's Go Together," eliciting a passionate response from the audience.

Taking over the charts with New Jinses and also dominating with Blackpink! The 'Cupid' craze is sweeping the UK and US charts with Fifty Fifty.
- P1Harmony's "Cupid" rose to 19th place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, up 22 spots from the previous week. Currently, the K-pop girl group song that has spent the longest time on the Hot 100 chart is "Ice Cream," a collaboration between BLACKPINK and American pop star Selena Gomez, which stayed on the chart for a total of eight weeks and reached a peak of 13th place. If P1Harmony enters the chart again next week, they will tie with BLACKPINK for the top spot. It is also possible for them to break the record for the highest ranking achieved by a K-pop girl group, surpassing "Ice Cream"'s peak of 13th place. "Cupid" is particularly significant because it is a solo track by P1Harmony and not a collaboration with a pop star like "Ice Cream." As a result, "Cupid" is the highest charting song by a female K-pop artist in history, based on pure artist performance.

It was a surprising revelation that Jang Hyuk and his colleague Chae Jung-an were actually members of the same 'Family' constellation.
- The 8th episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Family" (directed by Jang Jung-do, written by Jung Yoo-sun, produced by Studio Dragon ITBV) that aired on May 9th (Tue) featured a shocking ending with a face-off between "NIS black ops agent husband" Kwon Do-hoon (played by Jang Hyuk) and "killer wife" Kang Yoo-ra (played by Jang Nara), who have been confronted with a common target for different reasons. Yoo-ra seized the opportunity while Do-hoon was out of the house and her daughter Kwon Min-seo (played by Shin Soo-ah) was asleep, and attacked Jo Tae-goo (played by Kim Nam-hee), who is putting her family in danger. Yoo-ra swung a dagger silently towards Tae-goo to avoid waking Min-seo, but she was powerless in front of Tae-goo, who had her family as hostages. Unable to reveal the fight with Tae-goo to Min-seo, Yoo-ra eventually surrendered to him, and in exchange for not harming her family, Tae-goo demanded her to eliminate Nabi (played by Lee Mi-sook), a founding member of the organization. Yoo-ra's lamenting appearance, realizing that she has to once again get her hands dirty to protect her family, evoked sympathy. Later, Do-hoon got closer to the secret of the "Association," the killer organization where Yoo-ra used to be. First, he discovered the true identity of O Cheon-ryeon (played by Chae Jung-an), who is a National Intelligence Service agent and his colleague, and was shocked. Do-hoon also learned that the people in the photos given by Nabi were the original members of the Association and the children who were trained to be killers by them.

Kim Nam-hee, in the drama 'Family,' makes a stunning impact with her first appearance... Her high-quality acting takes the viewers by surprise, making a remarkable debut on the small screen!
- Kim Nam-hee made a breathtaking impact with her first appearance in the tvN drama 'Family.' Without any prior notice, her unexpected arrival as an unwelcome guest at the Kwon family's house brought a fierce storm, shaking up Jang Nara's life and intensifying the suspense. In the 6th episode of 'Family,' which aired on the 2nd of this month (Monday), the impending eightieth birthday celebration of grandfather Kwon Woong-soo (played by Lee Soon-jae) caused the united front of the Kwon family to be disrupted by the rebellious youngest member. Meanwhile, Jo Tae-gu (played by Kim Nam-hee) approached to unsettle the life of Kang Yoo-ra (played by Jang Nara), a 'killer' leading an ordinary life. On that day, as Tae-gu entered Yoo-ra's happy family routine, dark clouds began to gather, and she couldn't hide her restlessness. Unforeseen phone call from Tae-gu brought back memories of her past training as a killer in the snowy mountains, causing her pupils to dilate in a quiver. In a hurry, she put her daughter, Kwon Min-seo (played by Shin Soo-ah), to bed and prepared various household items that could serve as weapons, taking every precaution. Especially, Yoo-ra's extreme anxiety, wondering what might happen to her husband, Kwon Do-hoon (played by Jang Hyuk), and the rest of the family, heightened the tension for those watching. On the other hand, tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Family' is a thrilling family spy comedy that revolves around a sweet yet fierce wife who dreams of a perfect family while disguising herself as an undercover agent for the National Intelligence Service (NIS), with her husband being a black agent. It airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:40 PM.
