This week in K-Entertainment was anything but idle. Four dramas claimed top ratings honors, BTS' V and Jungkook faced health challenges, a TXT member headlined a legendary LA stage, and the Grammy category dedicated to K-pop stirred controversy.
KBS 2TV's drama Love on the Menu achieved a historic 15 percent viewing share for its sixth episode, becoming the most-watched program of the night. Meanwhile, the finale of JTBC's The Husband secured a 8.5 percent rating, its peak performance.
The Recording Academy's new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category left BTS feeling underrepresented. The band's CEO acknowledged that some artists feel the category doesn't fairly represent their work, sparking a public debate about how K-pop should be judged.
TXT's Yeonjun delivered a star-studded performance at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, following in the footsteps of rock legends like Elton John and Harry Styles. The young star also performed at Z100's Summer Bash and dropped his music video.
V and Jungkook of BTS opened up about their health struggles during a Weverse Live. V revealed he has been dealing with hearing loss in one ear for two and a half years, while Jungkook disclosed a potential stress fracture in his shin. Both members called on fans for patience as they navigate their recovery amidst an intense touring schedule.
