The Korean wave or hallyu that brought the country's culture to the world has now well and truly engulfed Latin America.

Netflix is currently negotiating with concert promoters to stage an arena concert tour in venues that hold 10,000 to 20,0000 fans. At the moment, plans have not been solidified and the entire thing could fall through if Netflix decides to scrap the plan to save cash or some of the creative ideas don't work out.

Netflix's smash-hit, Oscar-nominated animated film KPop Demon Hunters is returning for a sequel, with the fictional Korean girl group HUNTR/X coming back to lay down pop hits and smash evil boybands (and/or other demons). Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans will once again direct their first project in an exclusive multiyear writing and directing partnership with Netflix.

The spot leans into a long running internet joke suggesting that any basketball player who gets close to Jenner is subject to unfortunate consequences. Fueled by memes, real life coincidences, and fan speculation, the so-called Kardashian Kurse is not denied but addressed directly, with Jenner referencing her previous basketball relationships. With a self aware wink, the commercial suggests that while the internet has been busy theorizing, Jenner has been doing something more strategic and likely Kris Jenner approved, betting on it.

Korean culture has become a familiar presence in American life. K-pop dominates global charts, K-dramas have become staples on streaming platforms, Korean food has moved from specialty shops to neighborhood grocery stores, and K-beauty brands line retail shelves nationwide. As Korean culture reaches new audiences, Korean Treasures: Collected, Cherished, Shared traces the artistic traditions that have shaped today's cultural momentum.

Like those, it scours our culture's incessant preoccupation with physical beauty, both the lusting for it and the lengths we will go to get and keep it. But The Beauty possess a mind of its own as it expounds on rich themes that Murphy's been interested in, mixing humor with black humor while he comments on sinfully glamorous lifestyles and the dark side of human nature and desire.

ILLIT's Not Cute Anymore came out a couple of months ago. It's an incredibly impressive pop song. It has this kind of, like, light, lithe, rocksteady vibe to it. I also hear it as a little bit of a pointed rebuke to how a lot of girl groups are framed in K-pop. Innocent. Sweet. And maybe it's a bit of a broadside in the ongoing K-pop war between NewJeans and their parent label, Hybe.

It's Stephen! It's Stephen. And here they all come to chat a load of bollocks. So said Jessie Roux all the way back in episode four, spewing truth bombs while wearing sweetcorn-yellow eyeshadow. Yet here we are as I write this, on the day of the final with Stephen Libby still masquerading as a Faithful, looking th'innocent flower but being the serpent under't, as per Lady Macbeth's advice.

The announcement doesn't show any of the sets in full, but it does have a brief tease of what looks like a model of Derpy, the demon tiger and pseudo-mascot of the movie, knocking down a potted plant made up of Legos. Fans will know that one of Derpy's quirks is that he knocks down plants like a regular cat, but becomes fixated on trying (and, without thumbs, failing) to set them back up.

In their scene, Charli and Jenner have a brief conversation about fame and how to navigate the ever-shifting power dynamics of celebrity. Charli's on the rise, and, Jenner reveals, accidentally just stole a director away from the Kardashian family member. The subsequent discussion is peppered with some of the movie's slickest punchlines, which Jenner delivers naturally.

Over the last several years, Netflix has positioned itself as one of the few video streaming services focused on making an impact in the music industry. From the surprise revival of older songs like Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in shows like "Stranger Things," to streaming the most originally produced music documentaries, there's no doubt Netflix's audience is musically in tune.

Bobs, pixies, and other short cuts were the name of the hair game in 2025, and goth makeup had a major moment that is expected to continue into this year as well. This year, bold beauty looks once again graced the red carpet, but classic Old Hollywood glam was also a mainstay.

"I'm just not a judgmental person like that, so I try not to pay attention to it," she said. "But I think that no one knows unless they're in my shoes what I'm dealing with and how we have to manage certain things from the outside world or even in our life that we have to go through together." She tried to clear up how some may view her parenting style.
