BtoB to Have a Comeback in Late June
The group has announced that they will be coming back with their first full-album in late June, and that they have confirmed their title track. It is being reported that the group will be going through a transformation, and will show a completely different side to them with this coming comeback. Their latest album was the winter special album Winter's Tale in December of last year. Since then, they have had a successful debut in Japan, selling over 100,000 albums.

The album is still in production, and the exact release date has yet to be announced.

Sung Joon Looks Charismatic Yet Bitter in Stills for "High Society"
Sung Joon is handsome as ever in the still cuts for the new SBS drama High Society. In the images revealed on June 7, Sung Joon can be seen filming at Han River. He looks unapproachable and charismatic in his clean suit and stunning looks, especially in the dark of the night. Sung Joon plays the character of a man who is determined to bring himself up the social ladder. His bitter expression in front of the river makes viewers wonder what obstacle he faces this time and what choices he will have to make.

High Society is a drama that tells the romance between two people from very different social-economic backgrounds. While one is the beloved daughter of a rich family, the other is a social minority who wants to climb the social ladder to the top. It will bring messages of hope to the youth by looking into the true meaning of love as well. The first episode airs on June 8.

Can "We Got Married" Salvage Its Bad Ratings?
With the announcement of the new couples that will be joining We Got Married, the attention is now on whether these couples will be able to save the show's less-than-stellar ratings. MBC's long-running Saturday virtual marriage program, which saw an average of 5% ratings, saw its ratings drop to the 3% range when the show's stars were caught up in controversy in recent times.

Yewon, who was part of a high-profile feud with actress Lee Tae Im and was even accused of lying, became the target of criticism when she still appeared on We Got Married as a couple with Henry. After her appearance on the show, the ratings fell to the 3% range, while the show's comments board were filled with comments against Yewon being on the show. Furthermore, when rumours of Kim So Eun dating Son Ho Joon broke out, the viewers also took to the comments board to voice their concern for the "sincerity" of the Kim So Eun-Song Jae Rim couple.

Ultimately, these two couples will be leaving the show. A representative from MBC told the press that this coming broadcast on June 13 will be the last episode for the two couples. To replace these couples, two new couples, BtoB's Yook Sung Jae and Red Velvet's Joy, as well as actors Kang Ye Won and Oh Min Suk, will be joining the program.
