South Korean entertainment agency CJ ENM&nbsp;has confirmed its interest in acquiring iconic K-pop agency SM Entertainment on Thursday.
SM, a part of the Big 3 of Kpop, has been looking for buyers for several months now. Specifically&nbsp;to buy out founder Lee Sooman's shares of SM entertainment.&nbsp;
According to sources, CJ ENM&nbsp;calculated the stake, nearly 19%,&nbsp;at somewhere around 4 trillion won or $33 million. CJ ENM&nbsp;is a conglomerate that owns major TV networks in South Korea including Mnet, tvN and OCN.

Imitation is the sincerest&nbsp;form of flattery but this one takes the cake!
China will be launching a new variety program titled Squid&rsquo;s Victory sometime in 2022. Premiering on YOUKU, a Chinese video hosting service, the promotional poster of the upcoming show was recently revealed. But the font, the shapes, and the colors looked far too familiar to fans of the popular Netflix&nbsp;show Squid Game.&nbsp;
Just like the K-drama&rsquo;s plot line, the Chinese variety program is also set to revolve around children&rsquo;s games. The show will have contestants who will compete with one another in different challenges featuring numerous Chinese children&rsquo;s games.
This news has been receiving immense backlash from both Koreans and Chinese&nbsp;since China banned all K-Pop and K-Drama related productions since 2016. People on the internet&nbsp;have been calling out YOUKU&nbsp;for its hypocrisy.&nbsp;
YOUKU has yet to respond to the ongoing backlash, as audience&nbsp;ask for the logo and the premise of Squid&rsquo;s Victory to be changed.

Just days before the finale of girl group show 'Girls Planet 999', Mnet has revealed the current Top 9 ranking and 'shocking' doesn't do the reaction justice.
On October 15, 'Girls Planet 999' held its semi-final round, which saw just 18 contestants survive to the finale. The episode also brought with it a new Top 9 ranking: Shen Xiaoting in 1st place, Kim Dayeon in 2nd place, Sakamoto Mashiro in 3rd place.
Just three Korean contestants had made it to the Top 9, with the remaining split being two trainees from C-Group and four from J-Group. Shockingly, this turns the previous ranking&rsquo;s group split on its head, with a staggering eight out of nine Top 9 contestants being Korean trainees.&nbsp;
Unsurprisingly, across social media, numerous viewers were shocked to see the rankings change so significantly. While some of these changes can be accounted for by the new voting system, many fans also think that viewer voting tactics could be having an effect.
For example, with Shen Xiaoting ranking 1st for three weeks and never leaving the Top 3 since the show&rsquo;s first elimination round, fans believe many have seen her as a &ldquo;safe&rdquo; contestant who was guaranteed to get enough votes to debut. As such, fans say, some viewers have been voting for their less popular second-favorite candidate instead.
This interim ranking reveal is likely to have a major effect on how viewers are voting, which means the final lineup could mark another dramatic change in rankings. The Girls Planet 999 live finale, in which the lineup will be determined, will air on Friday, October 22, available for free viewing on Mnet&rsquo;s YouTube channel and the iQIYI app.

North Korean state media published images early Thursday of the country's latest rail-borne missile test, describing it as part of a "new national defence strategy".&nbsp;The North fired two ballistic missiles across its east coast, its first test with such missiles in six months and a fresh breach of UN resolutions.
The official account of the missile launch did not mention Kim Jong Un being present. Three of the four small images clearly show train tracks and train carriages.
Hours later, South&nbsp;Korea tested its first submarine-launched ballistic missile. The test of the missile known as SLBM was pre-planned and not in reaction to the North's latest launches. It makes South Korea the seventh country in the world with such technology.

Well deserved, hard earned: White House on Trump Nobel nomination

The nomination of Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the Israel-UAE deal is a "hard-earned and well-deserved honour," the White House has said

The White House has said the&nbsp;nomination of Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the landmark Israel-UAE deal is a "hard-earned and well-deserved honour,". Stating that the&nbsp;the US President has made peace a cornerstone of his foreign policy efforts, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said it was a historic deal and the first such deal in over two decades.&nbsp; Far-right Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde on Wednesday nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Any lawmaker serving in a national legislature can nominate a person for the Nobel Peace Prize.
&nbsp;

PTI,&nbsp;Washington: The nomination of Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering the landmark Israel-UAE deal is a "hard-earned and well-deserved honour," the White House has said, underlining that the US President has made peace a cornerstone of his foreign policy efforts.
Far-right Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde on Wednesday nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in mediating the deal between Israel and the UAE which is seen as a historic step towards peace in the Middle East.
Israel and the UAE announced on August 13 that they were establishing full diplomatic relations. The first commercial direct flight between Israel and the UAE landed in Abu Dhabi on August 31 after both countries announced normalisation of relations. The deal would be signed on September 15 at the White House.
The UAE is only the third Arab country to establish diplomatic ties with the Jewish state. Israel's neighbours, Egypt and Jordan, being the other two Arab states to recognise Israel.
"President Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his work in brokering an Israel-United Arab Emirates peace deal. It was a historic deal and the first such deal in over two decades. This is a hard-earned and well-deserved honour for this President," White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Wednesday.
President Trump has made peace a cornerstone of his recent foreign policy efforts, she said.
Any lawmaker serving in a national legislature can nominate a person for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Tybring-Gjedde was one of two Norwegian lawmakers who nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018 for his efforts to bring reconciliation between North Korea and South Korea. The 2018 prize was won by Denis Mukwege from Congo and Nadia Murad from Iraq for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.
In his nomination letter on Wednesday, Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament for the far-right Progress Party, also cited Trump's &ldquo;key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and &hellip; creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea,&rdquo; the Fox News reported.
Trump has repeatedly in the past offered to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue. However, India has maintained that the Kashmir issue is a bilateral one and no third party has any role.
McEnany said that the president's foreign policy will always be one of peace through strength, and that is what the American people are seeing abroad.
"Career politicians merely talk about the kind of results this president has achieved on the world stage," she said.
"These wins are possible because of the President's leadership and outsider perspective. President Trump addresses old challenges with new solutions and delivers results for the American people," she said.
Highlighting Trump's initiatives, McEnany said that the US has announced a drawdown of troops in Iraq from 5,200 to 3,000.
"We've secured better trade deals for the American worker. President Trump negotiated the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), the U.S.-South Korea deal; ended the Trans-Pacific Partnership; brought back manufacturing jobs," she said. "President Trump has stood up to China: the phase one China deal; also tariffs to hold China accountable; and actions to block Huawei," she said.
President Trump has also defeated terrorists. The ISIS caliphate is destroyed. Al-Baghdadi is no longer on the battlefield, along with Iranian General Soleimani, she said.
He has also brokered economic normalisation between Serbia and Kosovo, a major breakthrough in this decades-old conflict, McEnany added.&nbsp;

The study, presented at the virtual European and International Congress on Obesity, observed similar risks for women except for a slight dip in metabolic syndrome associated with half to one daily drink.&nbsp;
