Eye-catching signal song
Hit 10 million views in no time
There was a tremendous buzz about I-LAND 2 N/α from the start. The performance video of its signal song "FINAL LOVE SONG," produced by Teddy, hit 7.5 million views soon after its release. Short clips of their stage performances recorded over 10 million views, and the global real-time streaming views of the first two episodes even surpassed that of Boys Planet. So, how did I-LAND 2 N/α captivate the hearts of Gen Z?
The collaboration between the best trainees and BLACKPINK's Rosé captured Gen Z's enthusiasm!
I-LAND 2 built up people's anticipation by introducing trainees with impressive backgrounds. Unlike the typical bubbly signal songs from many audition programs, I-LAND 2 filled the stage with imposing sounds that expressed the trainees' determination and made Gen Z's hearts race.
The performance shined even more, thanks to the outstanding teamwork between the trainees and BLACKPINK's Rosé. The lyrics, full of determination to achieve their dreams, the addictive melody, and a unique shoelace-tying performance garnered explosive attention. Upon coming all together, the greatest performance of all time was born.
Everything but the title has changed
I-LAND has returned all new and better
Thanks to the speedy development and the trainees' incredible talents, people can't take their eyes off I-LAND 2 N/α for even a second. The new season introduced an iconic producer and adopted a new voting system where the trainees were each given the right to vote based on their talents. This new system has garnered a positive response from K-POP fans as it appears fresh. Stay tuned until the end to see if your favorite trainee will survive in I-LAND!

Highest Viewership Rating
Clichés are classic for a reason
Exceeded 500 million cumulative hours in views
Queen of Tears recorded the highest viewership rating in tvN drama history after its final episode recorded a phenomenal viewership rating of 24.9%. It's also generating a heated response worldwide, with videos related to the drama recording 1.76 billion views, and it exceeded 500 million global viewing hours on Netflix. Not only that, it landed at No. 2 on the "Most Talked-about K-dramas in the Past 10 Years List," and its popularity shows no signs of slowing even after the show's finale.
I liked the perfect combination of clichés and reverse-clichés!
The drama is built on "familiarity based on clichés," which is one of the strengths of tvN dramas. However, it also adds originality by offering "variations with reverse-clichés," resulting in an irresistible story. People were caught by this cliché-ridden drama and ended up sitting in front of the TV to watch it live.
Queen of Tears brought Gen Z to tears with every episode as it told a heartbreaking story of fate. Just like the reviews posted by K-pop idols, including aespa's Karina, NCT's Hae-chan, IVE's Yu-jin, and Liz, ZEROBASEONE's Zhang Hao, lots of viewers said they couldn't escape from the Queen of Tears world even after the final episode.
It's familiar but fresh!
Queen of Tears move even global fans to tears
The Times Magazine commented on Queen of Tears as "a fresh K-romance that breaks old customs and is worth watching," while the Japanese media even predicted "the fifth Korean Wave craze." Queen of Tears is breaking new records with its famous K-drama charms and is moving global fans to tears. There is a lot of anticipation for the phenomenal records it will continue to set in the future.

I wait for Monday to come, surviving on the easter eggs given!
Sun-jae continues to be charming, not just in the drama but also in behind-the-scenes videos! The behind-the-scenes videos exceeded 1.3 million views, thanks to the sweet chemistry. Lovely Runner fans make it through until Monday with still images, pre-releases, and trailers.
Drama fans learned what happens when a production team and an actor who is great at singing come together. Many viewers said they felt like it wasn't just a soundtrack for the drama but that ECLIPSE actually existed and that they were promoting their own album. It made them feel like they were fans of the actual group, ECLIPSE. Thanks to their support, the song ended up in the top 10 on digital charts!
A teen romance where both become each other's saviors
A well-made time-travel dramedy
They say the time-travel setting required more diverse scenes, which is why the script was changed multiple times, and they had to re-film scenes. Although it was a risk, they worked together to make it a well-made drama. Perhaps that's why the story played out smoothly without awkward interruptions despite all the back and forth in the timeline. As the perfect "Monday Blues Cure," Lovely Runner became the most buzzworthy drama.
