Vengeance can be sweeter in Korea. Netflix's hit K-drama, "The Glory" Parts 1 & 2, take us on a wild revenge fantasy. Starring Song Hye-kyo and written by Kim Eun-sook, this series shows the audience that once-in-a-lifetime trauma must be healed through forgiveness or revenge. Want to choose the path of revenge?

With more money in the bank, Kakao Entertainment emerged the winner. But can we really rest easy that another twist in this real-life K-drama saga won't turn up at the last minute?

Though an eventual merger with Hybe could make the home of BTS one of the most powerful music labels on the planet, gaining SM through a hostile takeover could come with the winner's curse.

The young entertainment executive announced plans to step down from his role as Co-CEO and return to his roots as a music producer. Is the battle over or is the second act about to begin?

In an explosive new YouTube video, CEO Lee details intense allegations of corrupt business practices, corporate sabotage, making AESPA cry and other accusations against Lee Soo-man.
