[REPORT]
The first girl group produced by entertain giant HYBE, LE SSERAFIM, will make a comeback with their 4th mini album titled 'Crazy' on August 30.

This comes 6 months after their 3rd album in February.

During a month-long fan meeting tour in Japan since late June, the group met with some 80-thousand fans.
==================
The film 'Mission: Cross' centers around a homemaker husband hiding his past and his criminal investigator wife, as the two get entangled in a major case.

Starring Hwang Jung-min and Yum Jung-ah, the film opted for an OTT release rather than the traditional silver screen.

The two stars coming together is also grabbing attention.

Hwang Jung-min / Role of Gangmoo
I've worked mainly with men so I was intrigued to know who would be cast for the female role.

Yum Jung-ah / Role of Miseon
It will be fun for the audience to see how two completely different characters cross each other certain points, including emotionally.

==================
'The Zone: Survival Mission,' featuring star entertainer Yoo Jae-suk is back with Season 3.

His costar Lee Kwang-soo is out this time and instead DEX and Kim Dong-hyun have joined the new season.

I felt the difficulty level rise because of new members like myself and Dong-hyun. All the strength I displayed until now may come to an end.

Many entertainment shows compete on various platforms. It's incredibly hard to gain viewer attention in this competition.
