Last update: 8 hours ago

BTS Backlash Meets Official Warning: President Lee Jae-myung stepped into the spotlight over Busan “price gouging” tied to BTS concerts, urging businesses not to tarnish the city’s image ahead of the June 12-13 shows, with temples, churches and schools reportedly offering low-cost stays for fans. Global Pop Power: BTS also cemented its reach at the 2026 American Music Awards, winning Artist of the Year again and sparking fresh talk about whether fan-driven momentum can finally translate into a Grammy breakthrough. AI & Culture Tech: Sejong University opened Team Studios Sejong, billed as Asia’s biggest AI virtual media studio, in an industry partnership with SK Telecom. Chip Boom: SK hynix joined Samsung and Micron in the $1T club as AI-driven memory demand keeps lifting valuations. World Cup Build-Up: South Korea’s Hwang In-beom played down fitness worries while preparing for pre-tournament friendlies.
