Come Back Home and Do You Love Me has different scenes, other than that it's almost identical to the Korean MV.
Upon releasing their debut album "Play," sibling duo Akdong Musician sent their breezy single "200%" to No. 1 on the K-Pop Hot 100, spending two weeks atop the chart. The K-pop stars (19-year-old brother Lee Chanhyuk and 16-year-old Lee Soohyun) sent two more "Play" tracks to the Top 10 and saw the LP hit No. 20 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart.
While the brother and sister relished in their chart success, their most pleasant surprise was the connection fans were making to their music – foreign fans, in particular.
"We believed that our music would only receieve love in Korea so we didn't have many expecations," Chanhyuk tells Billboard during an exclusive interview in AKMU's recording studio. "But when searching for us on YouTube, many of the replies were in English."
Soohuyn relates to her brother's findings. "Many people overseas did covers of '200%,'" she adds. "It was so interesting hearing foreigners covering our song and I thought, 'Wow foreigners are covering our song!'"
Watch the full interview to find out what they argue about, which artists they'd like to collaborate with and more.

Not that a lot of people care but oh well. The interview is interesting and the LUSH concert videos are really nice. He needs to release that new album though b/c I can only watch live performances of "It Would Be Good" so many times before I get a liii~ttle bored. (Also, it's been a while since I asked, so: Mods, would you maybe find it in your hearts to finally give him a tag?)
Last week's episode 5 was the first part of the murder case of the young division chief, and now the show continues with investigations, interrogations and finally the cast vote for who they suspect is the killer. If the majority of the cast is right, they get the gold prizes but if they're wrong and the killer got away with the crime, the murderer will collect the prizes.
Until now they've been wrong every time... hence why the staff added a real homicide detective to the game.
But did he really help?
In this episode the cause of death will finally be revealed, but with the increasing amount of motives and opportunies many of the cast had to commit the murder being unearthed, will they find the real criminal?
The guest for this case is CNBLUE's Min-Hyuk, who prided himself in his observation skills before filming.

So.. it isn't easy for the cast either; don't worry if you don't get it right (^_-)
There will be a change in the show's format as requested by the viewers: from the next episode on, the criminal will be revealed in the same episode. Also, lawyer Kang will replace lawyer Lim Bang-Geul.
The next guest will be Infinite's Sunggyu, and after him Sistar's Soyu.

It’s been four years since Gummy has made her comeback. A lot of people were surprised when she made her return as an artist not under YG Entertainment but through C-Jes Entertainment. In an interview with Newsen, the singer revealed the reasons for her big move.
“It’s been about half a year since I moved agencies and I think my old company has that certain tendency. YG is a company that doesn’t release albums that often,” Gummy started talking about her previous agency.
“They’re the type to release an album when there’s good music. The artists agree to that and each singer also has a lot of greed in wanting to perform with good music. When I was in YG, there were times when I made an album and then it was turned down once or twice. After some contemplating, I decided to move agencies,” explained Gummy.
Her move to C-Jes Entertainment has given Gummy an opportunity to release her mini album this June with the title song, “I loved… I have no regrets.”

Based on the memoir by Kang Chol-hwan, Aquariums of Pyongyang tells the story of the Kang family's 10-year imprisonment in North Korea's Yodok concentration camp.
From Wikipedia:
"Kang's family, while of Korean ethnicity, originally lived in Japan before emigrating to the DPRK at the behest of his communist grandmother. When Kang was nine years old, his grandfather was imprisoned for suspected activity against the State. As the policy at the time was to incarcerate the immediate family of political prisoners, Kang Chol-Hwan, his grandmother, father, uncle and younger sister Miho were all imprisoned at the Yodok concentration camp #2915. There they suffered and viewed many atrocities over a period of ten years including disease, starvation, torturous punishments and public execution.
Following his family's release (presumably upon the death of his grandfather, the original offender against the State) Kang worked in assigned occupations before becoming at risk of again being sent to a concentration camp. The end of the book details his subsequent escape to China and attempts to seek asylum before escaping to South Korea."
Yeun will star as Chol-hwan as well as co-executive producing the film. Radar Pictures, the studio that brought us Riddick and Spring Breakers, will be distributing.
