friday roundup: 2.7.20
Since I’m starting my crazy busy time at work, I’m dropping back the Friday updates to every two weeks, possibly even less. We’ll have to see, but here’s what I had found around the past couple of weeks that seemed interesting. Not much in the way of drama watching, so I’m skipping it this time.

Some castings:
-Dasom (SISTAR) is confirmed for the drama, Did We Love with Song Ji Hyo.
-Ji Chang Woo and Kim Yoo Jung for the drama Convenience Store Saet Byul.
-Jang Ki Yong and Lee Soo Hyuk for Born Again.
-Shin Sung Rok for Penthouse. Ha Seok Jin also considering a role.
-Kim Soo Hyun confirmed for Pyscho But It’s Okay.
I talk about Korean entertainment people starting YouTube channels, might as well add Japanese to the mix. Kiko Mizuhura started a channel, and so far it look like they will be subbed in English.
-Most Copyrighted Songs
This list was floating around the last week, but felt I would bring it up again because it is good to look at, and to see what idols are producing their own works. I’m biased, and have a good majority of my top faves on there too.
YG released a statement confirming that part of the new iKON album will contain songs written by BI. It’s kind of surprising that they made a statement, considering they are the reason he is gone because they didn’t support him, but I do think that it is a right step in the direction to be very clear and upfront.
I love any article that highlights behind the scenes of theatre, and this one is a good one about Korea’s steps towards implementing new technology and how that works to create shows, and using that tech during the show.
Netflix has officially ordered the live action One Piece series (based on the long running manga). It’s being written by Steven Maeda, who did work on the later seasons of The X-Files.
The 2016 tvN drama, Memory, is being picked up for an adaption.
My ult, my favorite person. The one with the most amazing voice is finally free of Banana Culture. The future doesn’t look bright for EXID, but it is finally looking bright for all of the members to be able to work on solo ventures. I need a Solji solo album!
-Dara
Dara (2NE1) has been cast in her first musical, Another Miss Oh Haeyoung (based on the drama).

-Have you listened to Siyeon’s Paradise 100 times? No? GO DO IT.
-We got some other songs for eaJ, first Otherside
-And then Pinocchio
-I really love these playlist videos, and the SuperM one is no different.
-Epik High is doing a documentary style video series on their channel, and I’m really into it.
-JYPE keeps giving us more bonus content from 2PM as they keep being amazing and doing well on the charts (so crazy). Honestly, 2PM is the best when they are doing a concert so be sure to check out all these videos.
