Snowdrop reunion: Jung Hae In, Heo Nam Jun and more support Jisoo at BLACKPINK concert, Kim Hye Yoon missing
BLACKPINK's 2-day concerts at the famed Goyang Stadium in South Korea saw an outpouring of K-pop and K-drama celebrities. It seemed that everyone from BTS' J-Hope to members of groups TWICE, SEVENTEEN, Red Velvet, LE SSERAFIM, BABYMONSTER, TREASURE, WINNER, I-DLE, IVE, and more were in attendance. Meanwhile, the acting list included Jung Jae In, Jung Ho Yeon, Lee Soo Hyuk, Hyeri, Kim Jiwon, Lee Dong Hwi, and more. In a new update from backstage, the cast of Jisoo's debut K-drama Snowdrop had gathered to celebrate her performance at the historic venue. Snowdrop team gathers for BLACKPINK's Jisoo Actress Jung Shin Hye shared photos of the cast members posing with the singer-turned-actor. Yoon Se Ah, Jung Eugene, Jung Yi Seo, Choi Hee Jin, Heo Nam Jun, Ahn Dong Goo, and Jung Hae In could be seen in the photos. Noticeably, actress Kim Hye Yoon, who played Gye Bun Ok, Jisoo's Eun Yeong Ro's friend, turned enemy on the show. The two have previously shown how close and supportive they are of each other. So it is assumed that only another K-drama shoot or other filming schedule could have kept the younger actress, who is also known to be a fan of the BLACKPINK girls. Meanwhile, the actors seemed to have had a lot of fun at the concert, thanking Jisoo for the invite and celebrating her stadium show with loud cheers. They called it 'dream-like' and showered love over all four members, including Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. Other invites from Jisoo are said to have been to Hyeri, Lee Soo Hyuk, and BTS member J-Hope, whose attendance caused an uproar at the venue. He is the first from the septet to be spotted at a BLACKPINK concert, and anyone who is aware of K-pop lore would be shocked to see him in the audience.

K-Pop, Demons, and Shaman Magic - Why Everyone's Obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters
When Grim Reapers Dance in Leather Pants - The Craziest Idol Concept Ever Imagine a squad of grim reapers, not lurking in the shadows, but busting out synchronized dance moves in leather pants and see-through tops. Sounds like a skit from an old-school comedy show, right? But in 2025, this is the talk of the town. The animated film ' K-Pop Demon Hunters ' has taken the world by storm, with its demon idol group Saja Boys and their viral hit "Your Idol" topping charts, yes, even beating out BTS and Blackpink. The YouTube clip of their performance? Over 10 million views in just a few days, with thousands of comments in every language you can imagine. Fans are joking, "Just take my soul already!" and asking if their fan gifts should be funeral offerings. Only in K-pop could ghosts and idols blend so perfectly. K-Pop, K-Ghosts, and the Power of the Stage The real magic of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' isn't just the catchy songs (crafted by actual K-pop hitmakers) or the razor-sharp choreography. It's how the film mashes up K-pop stardom with Korea's wildest supernatural legends. The main girl group, Huntrix, moonlights as demon hunters, using their music to keep evil spirits at bay. Their rivals, the Saja Boys, are literal demons sent by the boss-level villain Gwi-ma, who's always lurking, ready to devour the souls of their fans. The soundtrack is so good, tracks like 'Golden' and 'Soda Pop' are topping global charts, not just in the movie but in real life. It's like if your favorite anime theme song suddenly became the summer's biggest club banger. But what really hooks viewers-especially those who geek out over Korean culture-is the way the film weaves in traditional folklore. You've got dokkaebi (goblins), water ghosts, and grim reapers, all reimagined as part of the K-pop universe. Even the show-stealing tiger-magpie duo is inspired by old Joseon dynasty folk paintings. Director Maggie Kang, a Korean-Canadian, said she didn't set out to make a K-pop movie, but wanted to showcase Korean culture in a way that felt fresh and epic. She even called shaman rituals "the original concert"-music and dance used to fight off evil spirits, just like Huntrix does on stage. Shamanism, Superheroines, and the Rise of K-Occult Here's where things get even more interesting. In Korea, shamanism (musok) has always been a part of the culture, but for decades it was seen as old-fashioned or even taboo. Now, it's having a massive comeback, especially among young people. Why? Because in a world full of stress and uncertainty, stories about spirits, rituals, and healing feel more relatable than ever. And unlike the scary, doom-and-gloom Western occult movies, K-occult mixes in fantasy, action, and even romance. Think of it as supernatural with a side of heart. Recent years have seen a wave of webtoons and dramas where shamans are the main characters-often young women who double as spiritual warriors and everyday problem-solvers. Shows like "Head Over Heels" and movies like "Exhuma" have made shamanic rituals and ghost stories cool again. Even in variety shows, MZ-generation shamans are popping up, offering comfort and advice to viewers. The old image of the shaman as a tragic outcast is gone; now, they're seen as healers, guides, and sometimes even pop culture icons. From Taboo to Trend - How Korean Ghosts Became Global It wasn't always this way. Back in the day, shamans in Korean dramas were usually side characters or even villains. But thanks to artists and filmmakers who started exploring shamanism as a source of creativity and community, the image has totally flipped. Modern artists like Park Chan-kyung have made documentaries and films about legendary shamans, showing how rituals are about healing, sharing blessings, and letting go of old grudges. In a way, these rituals are like the ultimate group therapy session-something that feels surprisingly familiar if you've ever been to a big Indian festival or watched a Bollywood movie where everyone dances away their troubles. Now, with 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' breaking records on OTT and its soundtrack dominating global charts, Korean ghosts and shaman stories are no longer something to hide-they're a source of pride and inspiration. It's a wild, emotional ride that proves the best stories are the ones that mix tradition with a little bit of pop magic.

Guwahati: A militant suspected to be a cadre of NSCN (K-YA) outfit was killed on Sunday in an encounter with the Assam Rifles in Arunachal Pradesh 's Longding district . A police officer who does not want to be named said that Assam Rifles troops effectively foiled a surprise ambush by suspected insurgents affiliated with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K-YA) faction. "The militants attacked the Assam Rifles patrolling party when the para-military forces were conducting routine patrolling between Khogla and Lyangche close to the India-Myanmar border .' The officer said, 'The Assam Rifles troops retaliated the attack forcing the extremists to retreat and abandon their position. A temporary hideout used by the insurgents was found in the area, he said. A significant cache of war-like stores, around 15 kg of improvised explosive device (IED), 34 detonators, two .22 pistols along with two magazines and other military-grade supplies were recovered from the mountainous areas. On April 27, three militants of the NSCN-K-YA faction were killed during a gun battle between the security forces and the extremists in the same Longding district. Live Events The NSCN-K-YA had earlier served an extortion notice of Rs 20 lakh to the public sector oil major Oil India Limited (OIL). The notice was signed by the outfit's self-styled Major, Tha Aung and sent to OIL's office in Manabhum, located in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh. The NSCN-K-YA has not signed a ceasefire agreement with the Centre even as several other Naga outfits including the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) had signed a ceasefire agreement with the government and are now holding talks.
