Recently, Psy announced that he would be giving out 30,000 free copies of his album if his concert manages to completely sell out. Considering that each album costs about $8, he’ll be giving out $240,000 USD worth of CDs to the audience.

The album he’ll be giving out is slated for release mid-July so it’s chock full of new songs that nobody has heard of yet. Representatives expressed, “Psy wanted to give a present to people willing to come out and have fun instead of letting the summer heat get to them. Last year, he sold out 25,000 seats so we’re looking forward to similar results this year. Psy will purchase the albums himself and pass them out on the day of the concert at the hall.”

The concert will be held on August 11th.

With just one day of rest after wrapping up filming on his drama Bad Guy, actor Kim Nam-gil began his military life on July 15. He reported to the Chungnam, Nonsan, training center on Thursday afternoon, where he will undergo four weeks of training.

It’s a little jarring to see him looking so different when his drama is still ongoing — especially when the character he portrays has such as strong image. With all his hair shaved off and dressed down, he looks like a dorky little boy, not the suave, calculating mastermind.

As a result of Kim’s draft notice, the drama production scrambled to complete filming on time but in the end opted to cut the length from 20 planned episodes to 17.

Kaito Daimon would be a completely average high school student except for one thing: he's a 'demon' at solving puzzles. Kaito is so brilliant, in fact, that when he's asked to take some 'special' tests of his unique ability, he immediately suspects that the test itself is a test.

Kaito suddenly finds himself caught up in a lethal Philosopher's Puzzle made by the sinister group POG, a murderous maze of trap upon trap, where failing to solve the secret correctly will result in death!

Fortunately, Kaito's skills prove up to the first test, both for himself and his childhood friend Nanoha, who is also caught up in the deadly scheme. But now that he has been designated as a Solver, he is pulled into a new life where he must travel the world with other Solvers, attempting to solve the latest deadly riddles left by POG. There's a new conundrum around every corner and each deception could lead to death, but once a riddle has been posed, you can count on Kaito to unfold, unravel and unlock it!
