Making waves in the K-industry at the moment is Jennie from Blackpink. Is she back with a new style? A new look? Nope... she’s back with a new rap. And it goes something like this -

Sounds like a diss track.. Right? But who exactly is she dissing? Could it be her former agency YG entertainment?

When it comes to making waves on K-Food, one K-pop idol stands out. She’s been dubbed the Mukbang Queen. It's Hwasa from Mamamoo. Everything she’s caught eating on camera - sells out immediately. She’s famously known for selling out Gopchang - which is a popular dish made of cow intestine. But there’s another breakfast item that she made go viral.
