In a very latest post on Studio Wabi Sabi's social media accounts, they've announced that they will end their Artist Management and Development Department starting today, September 30, 2026. This follows after the agency becoming GMMTV's subsidiary a few weeks later, by 51%.

UPDATE: It seems as tho most of the Studio Wabi Sabi artists are gonna transfer to SOH (Studio Outside Hitters), a new agency handled by Wabi Sabi I guess, based from some recent updates by other netizens. Yet, the agency hopefully can provide a separate announcement confirming this to avoid any further speculation.

In this week's episode, Miyata and Iwanaga are back in action together but the first of the three or many exes, Prof. Hibino, showed up to stir some drama to the gays' lovelife! And Miyata is about to show up in the office, what chaos could it bring??? 👀

SYNOPSIS:

Kanda and Ueno seem like complete opposites: the charming Kanda is the superstar of the sales department, while the stern Ueno is a well-known stickler in accounting. But over time, the unlikely pair have become good friends outside of work. One day, while Kanda is crashing at Ueno’s place as he often does, Ueno confesses that he’s gay—but says Kanda isn’t his type, in case Kanda was wondering. The news makes Kanda see their closeness in a new light. Should he stop casually touching Ueno all the time? But also…why is he so bothered that Ueno isn’t into him? Maybe one of them will act on the attraction growing between them!

In a recent livestream, Park Siwoo of The Prosecutor's Proposal revealed that he's very proud of being a main lead in a BL series and that HE WILL NEVER ERASE IT ON HIS CAREER.

As bare minimum as it is, the fact that he's confident about being in a genre where it is still heavily criticized in SoKor, we have to give him props and flowers to that dkdkdmdns 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is bewildering me because according to the info that I got and read, especially to this news clip, the main leads of "Duty First, Kiss Later", Watanabe Shu (Takoi) and Saito Ryu (Shiono) were invited to a courtesy visit in the Akira Prefectural Police Department and the General Manager of the police department APPROVES THE SHOW AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS!!! 🫠 It just shows how J-BLs are starting to hit mainstream, to the point that even other professions are starting to acknowledge them in a very positive way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Anyone here already watched the latest queer film on Netflix, "Here the Whole Time" or "Quinze Dias" on Netflix??? It is from Brazil, known to also many films such as "The Way He Looks" & "Hard Paint". It's interesting tho that they collaborated with Netflix this time around for this film. 👀

Without spoiling too much, I will say it was a sweet and lovely film! Altho we had bits and pieces of drama, it was generally lovely and the two main leads are so cute too. Go watch it if you haven't yet hehehe, your more than an hour and forty-minute experience won't be a waste I assure 🥰🫶🏻

Yup, Crave Canada had announced that Heated Rivalry is now in production with their second season! 🏒⛸️ Hopefully they premiere it next Spring as what they've announced 🤞🏼🙏🏼

Because someone on my recent Reddit posts requested an on-air for the Japanese version of Your Sky and it seems that no one is picking it up, I decided to pick this one up to try making on-airs here on Reddit!!!
