Promotional graphic for K-Pop Fandom: Performing Deokhu from the 1990s to Today by Areum Jeong. The book cover appears on the left, showing a green-lit K-pop concert scene with a large crowd and stage lights; the title is in bold neon-green text. On the right, a pull quote reads, “Smart and immersive, this is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the passions and practices of K-Pop fandom.” — Matt Hills. The University of Michigan Press logo appears at the bottom.

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.
For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.
Since this is going to be an issue, and I don't like doing it, a bit of a clarification is necessary.
Tubi is NOT owned by FOX News, but the two units share the same corporate owner, Fox Corporation.
They are completely autonomous from each other nor directly financially support each other.
