After exiting a Seoul arena full of 5,000 screaming fans, the members of GOT7 walk straight into the arms of their biggest fans of all — their families.

You can spot actor-handsome vocalist Jinyoung’s father a mile away — not so much by his face, but rather by his striking full eyebrows, which arch down in mirth as he hugs his 27-year-old son. Much like their soft-spoken middle child, the parents of rapper Mark, here from all the way across the world in L.A., quietly radiate warmth and pride. And one...

GOT7 are officially coming back, Ahgase! On Sunday, May 8, the group announced their self-titled EP, "GOT7," will drop later this month. The project will mark Jay-b, Mark, Jackson, Jinyoung, Youngjae, BamBam, and Yugyeom's first release since they left their agency, Jyp Entertainment, in January 2021. At the time, Mark Tuan reassured fans the guys would be sticking together by tweeting, "Nothing is coming to an end, just the beginning." Ahgase didn't know when they would return, but on April 22, the Korean website JoyNews24 reported GOT7 were expected to release new music soon. Then, on May 6, the septet opened up new social media accounts, which only added to the comeback rumors.

Finally, GOT7 confirmed the rumors on May 8 (May 9 in Korea), which marked the eight-year anniversary since the group named their fans Ahgase in 2014. To celebrate their return, here's everything you need to know about GOT7's new EP, "GOT7."...

This Hellbound article contains Major spoilers for both the Netflix series and Train to Busan.

While the tradition K-drama model is a one-and-done format, with one full story spanning an entire season and coming to a definitive conclusion, Hellbound feels different. The Netflix series ends on a massive cliffhanger that puts all of the supernaturally driven deaths that took place over the course of the first season in a new light. I’m referring, of course, to the apparent rebirth of Park Jungja. In the first season’s final moments, the woman and mother who died at the hands of the terrifying monsters apparently sent by God is brought back to life in the place that she died. Let’s discuss the possibility of a second season, and how Park Jungja’s story must be at its heart…

The Likelihood of Hellbound Season 2

While there has yet to be an...

Hellbound is an interesting speculative fiction piece in that, while it initially presents its central conflict as one between humanity and something supernatural and/or divine, it is actually much more ambitiously interested in exploring the very human reactions and systems that spring up as a result of the supernatural phenomenon. That being said, there are still monsters in this show, and therefore we still have many questions about what they might be—especially given that, by the first season’s conclusion, we still don’t have any in-world conclusions. That means we have to extrapolate some conclusions from the evidence we do have. Let’s lay it out…

What Are the Hellbound Creatures?

While the Hulk-like killers get most of the press, there are actually two kinds of supernatural entities in Hellbound: the “angels” and the “demons.” The “angels” are the creatures that deliver people’s death sentences.

Hellbound has a stellar script and gorgeous directorial execution from creator Yeon Sang-ho, but those elements would only go so far without a good cast to support the dramatic story. Luckily, the six-part Netflix series has an impressive ensemble to ground its supernatural narrative. Let’s talk about who all of these actors are, and where you might have seen them before—or where you should watch them next…

Yoo Ah-in as Jeong Jin-soo

Hellbound character: Yoo Ah-in plays New Truth cult leader Jeong Jin-soo with disturbing charisma, constantly keeping the characters and viewers on edge as to what his true motives might be. For me, Yoo was the standout performer in a stellar cast.

What to watch next: Yoo Ah-in is a 35-year-old actor who has appeared in a variety of roles prior to his unsettling turn on Hellbound. If you’re looking to see him in another role,...

This Hellbound article contains major spoilers through Episode 3.

Hellbound creator Yeon Sang-ho may come from a feature film background, but you wouldn’t know it from the six-part supernatural horror series’ impeccable pacing, including a mid-season time jump that gives the drama new narrative life just when the world’s horror is perhaps becoming too much. Whether you’ve completed all six episodes of the Netflix series or are looking for some mid-season guidance following the end of Episode 3, here’s what you need to know…

When is Hellbound Set?

The first half of Hellbound is set in 2023. In Episode 1, it is mentioned that the New Truth Society has been investigating “demonstrations” for a little over 10 years. It is also mentioned that the society was founded in 2012.

How Much Time Passes in the Hellbound Time Jump?

At the end of Episode 3, Hellbound jumps abruptly into the future. In the episode...

This Hellbound article contains Major spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here.

If you think you know where Hellbound, Netflix‘s new supernatural horror series, is going, you’re probably wrong. At the end of six, high-intensity episodes, the Korean drama races towards its unpredictable, snowy conclusion in the backstreets of Seoul, leaving fans with both a satisfying (and surprisingly hopeful) ending to the first season as well as so many lingering questions about what might happen in a potential second season. Here’s everything that went down in the Hellbound season finale…

Sohyun’s Baby Survives the Demonstration

If you went into the final episode of Hellbound believing that this show was actually going to show a baby getting murdered by monsters, then you weren’t alone. The brutality of this Netflix series is noteworthy, and I wasn’t sure where they would draw the line. In the end,...
