For our #2 news, we have Tablo's comeback after an 18th-month break.

Tablo, the singer-songwriter and Epik High member, recently released his new solo album and is planning his comeback on a TV music program.

His comeback is a big issue because he had been involved in a scandal regarding his educational background.

His fellow musicians supported him by featuring on his album and sending him words of encouragement.

His hardships have made him stronger, and his music deeper, than before.

Our top news of the week is about a video that was released by idol group JYJ.

That's right. Rain would not stop a lot of people from getting a signature from Lee Hyori.
And great to see that Tablo is coming back strong with a new album. There have been many fans waiting.
Yeah. Very proud of you buddy.
And I'm so glad that JYJ has really reached out to Thailand during their time of crisis.
