Last update: 7 hours ago

Cannes Buzz—Na Hong-jin’s “Hope” is turning heads with monster-movie mayhem and a polarizing CGI debate, while the teaser now locks in a Fall 2026 release window and the director openly cites classic Hollywood thrills for inspiration. K-Drama Fallout: IU and Byeon Woo-seok apologized for “Perfect Crown” after viewers flagged historical inaccuracies in its finale. Inter-Korean Sports: North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC arrived in Incheon for a rare South visit, and Suwon FC Women are set to host them in the AFC Women’s Champions League semifinal. Tech & Culture: Korea’s culture ministry released an English AI fair-use guide for generative AI, and LG CNS and Kurly are testing humanoid robots in live logistics warehouses. Music & Pop: ITZY returns with EP “Motto,” and Day6 will wrap its tour with three Seoul shows.
