SuperM will be releasing a show that will include behind the scenes content from their preparations and performances here, and include their first Korean concert. Looks like it’ll be done kind of in the style that KBS used to do when following debut groups, which I always loved and will be definitely watch.
I don’t want to talk much about this, as it is something I don’t feel like I can mentally do, but I did want to leave this piece that Jeff Benjamin wrote for Billboard about Sulli. She deserves to be known for what she contributed to this world.
Since their comeback is soon, I thought this article was a good one for anyone who doesn’t know the group that well.
There will be a movie of the jdrama, Caution Hazardous Wife. I didn’t watch the drama because I was spoiled to basically every plot of the first season, but I know that a lot of people really enjoyed it.
Webtoon and Crunchyroll have teamed up to produce new animated content based on Webtoon’s catalog.
A fun interview with SuperM.
