Solo artist AIVAN revealed to be Mensa scholar with impressively high IQ

Singer-songwriter AIVAN made a surprising confession when he appeared as a special guest during the April 19th recording of 'Cultwo Show.'

During the broadcast, DJ Kim Tae Gyun revealed the singer's impressive academic history to listeners, stating that not only had he graduated from Yonsei University's Department of Media and Public Relations, but was admitted into the university's Master's program for Media Promotion as well.

"At the beginning of the year, I was able to become a Mensa scholar after taking the Mensa exam and landing in the top 1% percentile with an IQ of 156," AIVAN explained before humbly adding, "However, if I tried to take it again, I probably wouldn't be able to get the same score. It seems like I was lucky."

Meanwhile, AIVAN is currently promoting "Curious," the title track off of the mini album he released on August 9th.

Mob Psycho 100 Sequel Stage Play Reveals New Visual

The official website for the sequel stage play adaptation of ONE's Mob Psycho 100 manga revealed a new visual on Friday.

https://cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/max700x700/cms/news.2/135605/mob-psycho-100-stage-play.jpg

The website also announced that Marina Inoue would reprise her role as the character Tome Kurata in a video appearance.

Marvelous recently opened an English-language ticketing website for the play.

The cast also includes:

Setsuo Ito as Shigeo "Mob" Kageyama (Ito previously played the character in the manga's television anime adaptation)

Gaku Matsumoto as Ritsu Kageyama

Ryōma Baba as Arataka Reigen

Yūichirō Hirata as Shinji Kamuro

Yūta Hoshino as Hikaru Tokugawa

Takeshi Nadagi is similarly reprising his role as Dimple

Takuya Kawaharada as Teruki Hanazawa

Shoichiro Oomi as Tenga Onigawara (replacing Yūya Kido)

Miyu Suenaga as Ichi Mezato

Kentarō Kanesaki as Musashi Gōda (replacing Naoya Gōmoto)

Seiichirō Nagata as Shō

Yūki Kamisato as Sakurai

Kazunari as Koyama

Ito, Matsumoto, Hoshino, Nadagi, Suenaga, and Baba are all reprising their roles from the previous stage play.

Keita Kawajiri (Sugarboy) is again directing and writing the script. The new play will run at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo from September 13-17 and at Shinkobe Oriental Theater in Hyōgo from September 20-23.

The first stage play (seen right) ran from January 6-14 at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo.

The original manga creator ONE (One-Punch Man) launched the Mob Psycho 100 series on Ura Sunday in 2012 and later in Shogakukan's Manga ONE app in 2014. Shogakukan published the manga's 16th and final compiled book volume on July 19.

The anime adaptation of ONE's original manga premiered in Japan in July 2016 and Crunchyroll streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired in Japan. Funimation streamed an English dub for the anime last December.

Funimation describes the story:

Kageyama Shigeo (a.k.a. Mob) is an 8th grader with powerful psychic abilities. Workingunder his not-so-capable master, Reigen, Mob uses his powers to exorcise evil spirits. But his will to be normal causes him to suppress his powers and feelings until he hits 100 percent — a point where his pent-up emotions are unleased and a darker power takes over.

The manga also inspired a live-action drama starring Tatsuo Hamada in January. TV Tokyo produced the live-action show in collaboration with Netflix. In addition, the anime received an event centered on the character Reigen in March, and Crunchyroll is streaming the event anime. The event revealed the main anime's second season.

The official Twitter account for the live-action Kakegurui series announced on Friday that Nogizaka46 idol group member Sayuri Matsumura will play the character Yumemi Yumemite in the show's second season.

The second season will premiere on MBS and TBS' Dramaism time slot in spring 2019. The franchise is also getting a second live-action that film will also premiere in spring 2019.

The cast members will reprise their roles for the second season of the series.

The 10-episode show premiered in Japan on MBS on January 14, and on TBS on January 16. Tsutomu Hanabusa (Heroine Shikkaku, Asahinagu) directed the series. Netflix is streaming the series outside of Japan.

Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura's Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler manga launched in Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine in March 2014. Yen Press licensed the manga and describes the story:

Hyakkaou Private Academy. An institution for the privileged with a very peculiar curriculum. You see, when you're the sons and daughters of the wealthiest of the wealthy, it's not athletic prowess or book smarts that keep you ahead. It's reading your opponent, the art of the deal. What better way to hone those skills than with a rigorous curriculum of gambling? At Hyakkaou Private Academy, the winners live like kings, and the losers are put through the wringer. But when Yumeko Jabami enrolls, she's gonna teach these kids what a high roller really looks like!

The manga inspired a television anime series that ran from last July to September in Japan. The series premiered outside of Japan on Netflix in February. The anime is getting a second season.

Kim Jin Woo humorously informs fans he is the 'G-Dragon of WINNER' at recent concert

WINNER member Kim Jin Woo made fans laugh when he revealed why he chooses a certain artist's songs when he performs solos during the group's shows.

The group recently held the 'WINNER 2018 EVERYWHERE TOUR IN SEOUL' on August 19th at the Olympics Gymnastics Arena in Seoul's Olympic Park.

During the show, Seunghoon commented that Jinwoo would be performing G-Dragon's "Untitled, 2014" for his solo song that evening, and last time the group held a concert in Seoul, he performed "Crooked," another G-Dragon song.

In response, Jinwoo joked that he was the "G-Dragon of WINNER," causing laughter among fans and his fellow members.

"Wasn't it [G-Dragon's] birthday yesterday?" he asked before explaining his real reason for the song choice. "I really miss him. I miss him, but I don't get to see him unless I'm looking at a photo. I've become really emotional. I almost cried."

Meanwhile, WINNER will be bringing their concert series to Japan at the beginning of September.
