Ten years ago, Samsung set out to create a signature sound that would motivate people to challenge their limits and open them to greater possibilities. Though “Over the Horizon” has evolved over time, its impact remains just as important today as it was a decade ago.
As the world begins to open back up, the global community is embarking on a new journey that will require us to advance together and push ourselves to find new ways forward. And it was from this that world-class performer SUGA of BTS took his inspiration when he made his own version of “Over the Horizon”.

Watch the video below, hear from SUGA about how and why he reimagined the song that has been compelling users to explore endless possibilities for the past decade.

Netflix has unveiled the first poster and pre-teaser trailer for its new show Squid Game, an imaginative, unorthodox story in which 456 contestants risk their lives in a mysterious survival game for a chance to win 45.6 billion won.

The tagline “45.6 Billion Is Child’s Play” makes a powerful first impression alongside the imagery of the shapes that are used in the ‘squid game,’ the fallen man in the green tracksuit, the man in pink dragging him away, and the large box with the pink ribbon. The title is a reference to a simple yet physical and aggressive children’s game played in neighborhood alleyways. How will this symbol of childhood fun drive the adult players into peril? Every piece of new information provides more tantalizing hints.

Unveiled alongside the poster, the first pre-teaser trailer features tense sequences of participants putting their lives on the line in the games. Driven to desperation and gathered at an unknown location, the 456 participants play one game each day as they race towards the prize of 45.6 billion won. The price of failure is death, and only one contestant can survive to claim the prize. How did this diverse group of people end up here, and who is the mastermind behind these games? The striking juxtaposition between the pandemonium and the colorful, nostalgic art direction of Squid Game further heightens anticipation for the distinctive visuals and story of this show.

Squid Game has garnered much attention since production was first announced, for its atypical title and premise, unprecedented scale, and the shining track records of its cast and crew. Spearheaded by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the versatile and socially-conscious director of The Fortress, Miss Granny, and Silenced, this unconventional combination of classic childhood fun and the contemporary rat race tells a story like none other. Cast members Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Oh Young-soo, Wi Ha-Jun, Jung Ho-yeon, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam and Kim Joo-ryoung draw viewers into the macabre show by delivering deep, nuanced performances that vibrantly convey the humanity of the diverse characters who have no choice but to take part in the game.

The striking visuals and exceptional creativity of Squid Game will be available for streaming in 190 countries on September 17, only on Netflix.

K-pop group Omega X (Jaehan, Hwichan, Sebin, Hangyeom, Taedong, Xen, Jehyun, Kevin, Jeonghoon, Hyuk and Yechan) released the “Vamos” music video, the title track of their first mini album, on the large digital display signages around COEX starting August 9th, connecting with the K-pop fans once again.
Prior to their official debut in June, Omega X promoted the “Blossom the Hope” public campaign as supporters and helped overcome the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign was hosted by the COEX MICE Cluster (CMC) committee consisting of 16 trade centers including the Gangnam district office and COEX.

Along with supporting the campaign, Omega X was the first rookie K-pop group to be covered on the digital display signage at Starfield COEX Mall in Gangnam-gu Seoul, South Korea, which is Korea’s largest signage and often referred to as “Korea’s Times Square.”

Omega X and their “Vamos” music video will be shown to citizens of Seoul on the mega-sized K-pop Square display that is 81 meters wide and 20 meters tall, as well as on CMC committee’s signages at COEX Media Tower, Parnas Media Tower, Hyundai Department Store’s H-Wall, Millennium Plaza Media, COEX Xpace, COEX Mall DID, Megabox, and Underworld Panorama.

Omega X’s digital signage advertising is the first case of K-pop group’s contents being exposed through all channels since the COEX and the Trade Center area have been selected as the first unlimited outdoor display advertising zone.

K-pop group Omega X successfully completed their activities with their first mini-album “Vamos,” and the members are communicating with fans through digital content. Omega X plans to support CMC through their second collaboration and stage a comeback in the second half of the year.
