Rm of BTS has released a new single, titled “Come back to me,” ahead of his full-length project, Right Place, Wrong Person.
Nearly seven minutes long, the expansive track was accompanied by a music video framed more as a short film — directed by Lee Sung Jin, creator of Netflix’s Beef, the visual was teased with movie posters. The music video co-stars South Korean actress Kim Minha, who recently gained international recognition for her role in the Apple TV+ series Pachinko.
Although all the members of BTS are still in the midst of enlistment (with just over a month remaining until Jin’s discharge date), Rm recorded and prepared Right Place, Wrong Person prior to leaving to complete his mandatory time in the South Korean military. The album is set to land in full on May 24th and follows the rapper’s 2022 solo project, Indigo. In classic Rm fashion, “Come back to me...

When it comes to gleaming streams, Kai Cenat is not the first to come to mind. However, being one of the biggest streamers on the internet right now, it makes sense for him to jump on the trend. After all, it keeps the audience entertained with a fun time.
The streamer has recently been going through one of the best titles on PlayStation, Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch’s samurai adventure was beloved by many for its gorgeous world, compelling story, and amazing fights. One of those fights is proving to be extra challenging for the streamer.

Shōgun season 1 is in the books, and the historical epic has garnered both critical and commercial success, with its premiere pulling in 9 million views (the most ever for an FX series) and its ten-episode run earning nearly unanimous positive reviews (it’s currently sitting pretty at 99% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). The problem is, if you’re one of the millions captivated by the sprawling mini-series, a second season is anything but confirmed. In fact, at this point, it’s unlikely to happen.
The good news: there are plenty of terrific pieces of Feudal Japanese fiction to explore, and one of the very best is the breathtaking Ghost of Tsushima. The PlayStation exclusive is just as grand in scale as Shōgun, and while it’s a different kind of samurai story entirely, it’s a perfect complement to the show in that it focuses on aspects of the setting that the show doesn’t.

„Smugglers” is a pretty bright and fun crime film that also delivers some really insightful look at Korea as a Western-aspiring country and at the pains of poverty. Most impressing is perhaps that it manages so well to do all of it at once, without slowing down the pace. The main characters of this female-led story are far from mysterious, dark, Scorsese-like figures that would encourage us to ponder the intricacies of human psyche in its never ending lust for power. In “Smugglers”, going against the law is a pragmatic decision born out of economic despair. Struggling fisherwomen of 1970's Jeju town face the choice in the film's opening minutes – keep diving for stinky snails of diminishing quality, trying to make ends meet, or take a chance at moving Western merchandise left on the sea bottoms of the Korea Strait.

PlayStation has given its fans some very exciting games over the years. But their first-party studios are mostly known for developing some very story-heavy games. These titles would feature a linear progression system, which does not give fans much freedom in exploration. But the developer of Ghost of Tsushima changed this.
A truly open-world game where players can go anywhere and do anything. It took some ideas from this developer’s previously released Infamous series of games. The idea of walking two paths was described in this game as the path of a ghost or a samurai. And now, years after this game’s launch, some suggest that they can use this idea to take this franchise in a whole new direction.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 257, an unexpected truth emerged concerning the link between Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna. Before this chapter, numerous theories were circulating among fans who thought that Yuji could be either Sukuna’s sibling, a clone of him, or even his twin.
However, the latest part of this story is different from previous speculations. It doesn’t show Yuji as having a direct link with Sukuna, but rather reveals his father Jin, who turns out to be the twin brother of Sukuna.

Sukuna is, alongside Kenjaku, the biggest villain in Jujutsu Kaisen and the most dangerous character in the whole series. Due to his immense importance, Sukuna has, despite being a villain, collected a solid amount of fans and there have been many theories related to him and his relation to the series’ protagonist, Yuji Itadori. We have already written about some theories about the relationship between Sukuna and Yuji, with some even claiming that they are one and the same, but the most recent Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 257 seemingly reveals the true connection between these two characters.
The character is officially out on Sunday, but the leaks are out – as we have reported – and we have finally received an update to Itadori’s family tree, an update that fills in a lot of the blanks and provides us with some details that we had suspected, but did not know until this point.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans recently got the surprise of the spoilers for chapter 257, which is scheduled to be released on April 21. The spoilers were a collection of raw scans of the chapter, and although they were a little hazy, they gave a decent understanding of the narrative of the upcoming Jujutsu Kaisen chapter.
Jujutsu Kaisen
As seen in the previous chapter, Yuji Itadori, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, was finally awakened and was ready to fight the King of Curses, Sukuna, in a one-on-one battle. Sukuna has battled and defeated almost every sorcerer, and while he was enjoying his previous fights, it looks like his battle with Yuji might not go in his favor this time.

A large open-world map warrants excellent traversal in a game, goes without saying. But players can’t do it alone. They need a buddy, a companion. And what better than a trusty old steed? Ghost of Tsushima lets its players pick their companion’s name as well, adding that extra personal touch.
Whether you named him Sora, Nobu or Kage, you could see Jin have short, heart-warming moments with his horse between missions. And it was these little sprinkles of bonding that wrecked every player’s heart when Jin’s horse died after they escaped from Castle Shimura. 2020 certainly wasn’t a good year for horses in gaming— Remember Shimmer from The Last of Us Part II?

It’s not a stretch to say that Hidetaka Miyazaki’s tenure at FromSoftware has been nothing short of unprecedentedly successful, especially when you consider that the renowned auteur had no prior experience in gaming before working at the studio.
Miyazaki took over the presumably-failed Demon’s Souls project and basically created an entire sub-genre out of it, a feat which massively propelled his career. In 2014, he was promoted to president of FromSoftware. However, he had one condition before taking on the role.

BTS is currently on hiatus due to all of its members being enrolled in the mandatory military service required for South Korean citizens.
Right now, all fans want to know is how long this hiatus could last and when it would be safe to start looking forward to the reunion of one of the biggest boy groups in the world. Well, we’ve just done the math and 2025 is our safest bet.
When Did BTS Members Join The Army
Even though fans continue to enjoy music from Jungkook and V – global superstars in their own right – we can’t help but feel that something is missing. And that something, of course, is BTS.
Okay, in 2022, all seven members of the k-pop group BTS were enrolled in the mandatory military program that usually runs for about 18 – 21 months.
Prior to the announcement, politicians had argued that BTS should be exempted from serving...

This week on Shōgun, Lord Toranaga is devastated by the death of his son Nagakado — and gets hit hard by another death, too — but he may not be as ready to give up as you think.
As Tuesday’s episode opens, a mournful and ailing Toranaga leads a procession on horseback following Nagakado’s undignified demise. The other lords will allow Toranaga to grieve his son for 49 days before escorting him to Osaka, but Blackthorne is still itching for battle: “At least Nagakado-san died fighting,” he mutters to Mariko. Ochiba learns that Toranaga has surrendered — and Ishido offers to marry her (!) to “strengthen our bond,...

Based on the manga Parasyte, this Netflix adaptation brings forth its own plot and a diverse array of characters who play a key role in progressing the narrative. In the form of a K-drama, Netflix brings us its own rendition of the anime, which centers around Jeong Su-in, a supermarket receptionist who becomes a mutant after a Parasite fails to merge with her completely. What follows is Su-in being pursued by both human authorities and fellow Parasites targeting her. Though reluctant, Su-in is accompanied by Kang-woo through thick and thin. Kang-woo’s own story is brought to light as the story progresses.
A gangster working for Mangnani, a local gang operating in the Namil-gun region, Seol Kang-woo is being targeted by a rival gang after a failed assassination attempt. Kang-woo himself has had a tough childhood and started mingling with the wrong crowd so that he could earn some money for his sisters.

Got science questions? Yeah, us too.
If you’ve raced through 3 Body Problem, the new series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and True Blood writer Alexander Woo, chances are you want to know more about everything from Sophons and nanofibers to what actually constitutes a three-body problem. After all, even the show’s scientists are stumped when they witness their well-known theories unravel at the seams.
But for physicists like 3 Body Problem’s Jin (Jess Hong) and real-life astrophysicist Dr. Becky Smethurst (who researches how supermassive black holes grow at the University of Oxford and explains how scientific phenomena work in viral videos), answering the universe’s questions is a problem they’re delighted to solve. In fact, it’s part of the fun. “I feel like scientists look at the term ‘problem’ more excitedly than anybody else does,” Smethurst tells Tudum. “Every...

3 Body Problem is a series with intricate timelines, character arcs, and mysteries to uncover. Based on the bestselling novels by Cixin Liu, the series has key moments early on that foreshadow how the story will play out later in Season 1. Below, creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones) and Alexander Woo take you through six key clues and revelatory scenes you might have missed on your first watch.
Meeting your partner’s parents is stressful and intimidating at the best of times, but at least it allows you a glimpse into their roots and values. That’s certainly the case when Jin (Jess Hong) meets her boyfriend Raj Varma’s (Saamer Usmani) family in Episode 3.

Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost of Tsushima, which was initially released on the PlayStation 4 in 2020, had mixed reviews upon release but the game’s story received a generally positive reception. Ghost of Tsushima was developed after Infamous First Light, as the developers wanted to create a new title that focused on melee combat. The game went on to become a critical and commercial success and is one of Sony’s fastest-selling original titles.
Ghost of Tsushima
By July 2022, Ghost of Tsushima sold more than 9.73 million units and was nominated for several awards, including the prestigious Game of the Year Award of 2020. Despite all the success, there are a few things from other open-world samurai action games that Sucker Punch can incorporate in Ghost of Tsushima’s sequel to make the game even better.

Sucker Punch and Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima still lingers in the minds of its fans even four years after its launch. The game introduces players to a breathtaking portrayal of feudal Japan. Besides, the intriguing tale of Jin Sakai transforming into a backstabbing warrior of darkness from a respected Samurai is hard to get out of the mind.
The fans are now sitting with great anticipation for the sequel. Although the developers have not yet officially announced Ghost of Tsushima 2, given the success of the first game, the sequel is likely to happen.
Ghost of Tsushima
Earlier the fans assumed that the game would naturally be called Ghost of Tsushima 2, just as most sequels are numbered. However, keeping in mind the ending of the first game looks like Ghost of Tsushima 2 may never happen (not literally!).

The essence of Netflix’s apocalyptic sci-fi series “3 Body Problem” is contained within the immersive VR game engineered by the San-Ti aliens. Using a headset, the VR game transports the player from China’s Shang Dynasty to Tudor England to Kubla Khan’s Xanadu, recreating the chaotic destruction of the alien planet as a result of living in an unstable three-star solar system.
In adapting Liu Cixin’s acclaimed novel, showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss (“Game of Thrones”) and Alexander Woo made the VR game the VFX centerpiece early on, particularly for Episode 3 (“Destroyer of Worlds”), directed by Pixar’s Andrew Stanton (“Wall-e”). Here cosmologist Jin (Jess Hong) and entrepreneur Jack (John Bradley) stand on the observation deck of the Kubla Khan Pleasure Dome and witness 30 million people getting sucked up into the sun because of reverse gravity. It’s a trippy CG effect from Scanline.

Developed by Sucker Punch Productions in collaboration with Sony, Ghost of Tsushima came out in 2020 and the game is inspired by events that took place in Japan’s history. The game takes the player back to the first Mongol invasion of Japan, where they take control of a samurai named Jin Sakai. Being a samurai, Jin has the duty of defending Tsushima Island from the Mongols.
Ghost of Tsushima
The Mongols first arrived at the shores of Tsushima Island in 1274 and the game is set in this era of Japanese history. Ghost of Tsushima with a large open world that can be explored by the players either on foot or on horseback.

j-hope of BTS has released a six-track special album titled Hope On The Street Vol. 1. Stream it below.
The follow-up to full-length solo album Jack in the Box shows the BTS dance leader return a bright, optimistic, and ’90s-infused sound closer to the energy in his first solo mixtape, Hope World. The project accompanies a new docuseries of the same name, in which each episode corresponds to the title of one of the tracks in the EP.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem was actually finished and ready to be released on the streamer in mid-2023.
But showrunners David Benioff, Dan Weiss and Alexander Woo realized their sci-fi epic adaptation of Liu Cixin’s acclaimed novels was missing something: Their first episode quickly plunged viewers into a mystery surrounding the suicides of top scientists and a mix of brainy characters — but too quickly and, even, rather confusingly.
So they crafted a scene to be shot and inserted near the very beginning, of Auggie (Eiza González) and Jin (Jess Hong) having a drink in a bar. The five-minute scene accomplishes an extraordinary amount of heavily lifting in a very short time. The scene introduces Auggie and Jin, gives them a chance to literally spell out their respective careers (when they’re approached by a drunken flirt), gives some sense of their romantic lives (like when Auggie gets a call...

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot developments in Season 1, Episode 3 of “3 Body Problem,” currently streaming on Netflix.
When David Benioff and D.B. Weiss first approached John Bradley about starring in their new series, “3 Body Problem,” they explained that his character would in many ways be the antithesis of the role that launched the actor’s career on their previous show, “Game of Thrones.” On that series, Bradley’s Samwell Tarly was a deferential and soft-spoken nobleman forced to forsake his fortune and standing for a life of anonymity. On “3 Body Problem,” Bradley’s Jack Rooney is a brash and self-possessed working class kid who chooses to give up a career in academia to build a fortune in snack foods.
It wasn’t until Bradley received the first set of scripts for “3 Body Problem,” however, that he understood that Jack had a more fundamental difference from Sam: He’s brutally murdered.

“3 Body Problem” production designer Deborah Riley is no stranger to creating epic environments — she won four consecutive Emmys for her work on “Game of Thrones.”
Netflix’s new series reunites Riley with creators David Benioff and D.B Weiss. “That show was vast insofar as cold and hot environments and in its scope and scale, but I had no idea what the term meant until ‘3 Body Problem,’” Riley says, comparing the two shows.
Adapted from the Chinese science-fiction saga by Cixin Liu, the series opens with the Cultural Revolution. Young scientist Ye Wenjie (Zine Tseng) watches as her father is beaten to death in front of a crowd by the Red Guard. She’s sent to a top-secret base on the Red Coast where she learns that the Chinese government has been sending transmissions hoping to make contact.

As quickly as it started, Netflix’s eight-episode “3 Body Problem” ends, in a blur of VR headsets and scientist murders and that one time they sliced up a ship like bologna.
Though it hasn’t been greenlit yet, creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo have plans for Season 2, and Cixin Liu’s book series is a trilogy. Even if this is the end for now, the story remains open-ended. So what should viewers make of the finale?
What matters most is the foundation laid in previous episodes. An alien civilization called the San-Ti is headed toward Earth, expected to arrive in over 400 years. Though their original goal was to conquer Earth and escape their own tri-solar system, they realized that human technology would advance and likely surpass the San-Ti’s by the time they arrive. “This is a funeral procession,” their VR avatar says in a previous episode.

Netflix’s “3 Body Problem” is based on a wildly popular book series by Cixin Liu — but how close does it come to the source material? Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have experience adapting dense novels with “Game of Thrones” — but they’ve also been in the position of having to branch away from the original text and disappointing audiences as a result. “3 Body Problem,” which they co-created and executive produce with Alexander Woo, could face the same issues.

This post contains spoilers for season 1 of Netflix's "3 Body Problem."
"3 Body Problem" is no "Game of Thrones." The new Netflix series may share two of its co-creators with the HBO fantasy epic (it's the first series from David Benioff and D.B. Weiss since that show signed off in 2019), but where that show's bread and butter was sword-slashing fantasy, this one offers a hefty dose of cerebral science fiction.
It's a story about scientists trying to save the world (and trying to decide whether or not it's even worth saving at all) by solving a strange series of intergalactic problems, and though it's densely plotted, it's also safe to say it's a bit of a slow burn. By the end of season 1, the aliens who have revealed themselves as the main existential threat to humankind are, after all, still 400 years away from touching down on Earth. "3 Body Problem...

Gone are the days of seeing Liam Cunningham as the trusted deputy of Stannis Baratheon! The knight has now embraced modernity, as he’s playing the suit-booted Thomas Wade, leader of the Planetary Defense Committee, in Netflix’s 3 Body Problem. The show is rightfully touted as the next big thing, considering it’s coming from Benioff and Weiss, the same duo who once created a little something called Game of Thrones. And like the HBO show, this one is also based on a series of super popular books—only the genre is science fiction this time.
Cunningham’s character, Thomas Wade, is the face of an organization fighting an alien race, San-Ti-Ti, whose primary agenda is taking over the world and ending humankind. Inarguably the sassiest character in the show, Wade is dynamic, very pragmatic, and also very courageous. He wouldn’t hesitate to murder a lot of innocent...

It’s go time. The plan to intercept the alien invaders is well underway in Episode 8 of 3 Body Problem, the sci-fi thriller series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and True Blood writer Alexander Woo. But will the ambitious plan work?
The Season 1 finale sees Project Staircase put into action, as a series of 300 atomic bombs scattered through space are deployed to propel a probe toward the thousand San-Ti ships en route to Earth. There’s one passenger on board, or, shall we say, a piece of one passenger: the frozen brain of a physics teacher, Will (Alex Sharp).
While Jin (Jess Hong) agonizes over the fate of the project — and, more importantly, of her good friend Will — Saul (Jovan Adepo) faces a new challenge when he’s recruited to join a mysterious project of his own.

The latest Netflix series, 3 Body Problem is a commentary on the struggles of human civilization as a whole, which have led to modern-day problems like genocide. Fed up by the cruelty of human expansionism for selfish purposes, Ye Wenjie initiates a domino sequence to ensure the end of this evil that our species has created. In 1960s China, working at an observatory, she invited the San-Ti. Decades later in the present day, five Oxford-trained scientists end up caught in this ring of fire after their mentor Vera Ye dies by suicide. Jack Rooney is one of these scientists, although he has given up on science.

This article contains spoilers for 3 Body Problem season 1.
Cixin Liu’s The Three-Body Problem is a tour de force of hard science fiction, but its deep dive into physics in passages that sometimes contain large information dumps must have been a true adaptation challenge to 3 Body Problem creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo. Fortunately, the writers were able to humanize the narrative by creating “the Oxford Five,” a group of scientist friends that divided the experiences of the novel’s single main character among them to create a more dynamic story filled with conflict, love, tragedy, and more.
The decision no doubt went beyond simply lending more emotional weight to the actions of the show’s protagonists; it also served to broaden the story from a singular Chinese experience that was the author’s focus to a more international, less male-centered perspective. Instead of merely following Professor Wang Miao,...

This post contains spoilers for the first season of Netflix's "3 Body Problem."
It's been nearly five years since "Game of Thrones" viewers said goodbye to the ambitious fantasy epic that headlined HBO's lineup for the better part of the 2010s. In that time, series co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss started developing a deeply controversial (now nixed) series called "Confederate," executive produced "The Chair" (a short-lived Netflix show about academia), directed a Leslie Jones standup special, and came under scrutiny for their lack of preparedness while making "Thrones."
Now, after five years of work on varyingly successful stray projects, Benioff and Weiss are back with co-creator credits on another ambitious genre story based on multiple beloved books. This time around, they're putting their spin on Liu Cixin's "3 Body Problem" alongside co-creator Alexander Woo. While the two shows actually couldn't be more different, it's impossible not to...
