Hit South Korean boy group EXO is putting on two shows at the Taipei Arena again Saturday and Sunday. Due to high demand for tickets, Taiwan’s Super Dome, the event organizer, has announced that extra tickets will be released for seating with partially blocked views.
The event organizer said eight EXO members are set to perform in Taiwan, and to spend an early romantic Valentine’s Day with their Taiwanese fans. Unfortunately, the only Chinese member of the band, Lay, will not be joining them for this tour. The group also released its latest winter special album Universe in Taiwan on Wednesday.
In their newest music video, the group members dressed up as “warm baristas,” and their record label decided to cooperate with Cross Cafe in Taipei’s East District, selling limited EXO Universe pancake sets. The event starts today and will run until Feb. 25.

南韓男子夯團EXO將於週六、週日再度於台北小巨蛋開唱，由於門票太熱門，主辦單位超級圓頂稍早宣布將釋出視線遮蔽區域門票。
主辦單位說，EXO中的八位團員將來台，和台灣的粉絲提前共度浪漫情人節，但唯一的中國籍團員張藝興並未參與這次巡演。而該團的最新冬季特別專輯「Universe」，已於本週三在台灣發行。

The new generation born between 2025 and 2039 has been officially named “Generation Beta,” or simply “Gen Beta.” This generation will be the first to experience a world where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in daily life.

These experiences, often influenced by significant events and technological advancements, shape the values, attitudes and behaviors of each generation. The concept of generations helps us understand how different age groups interact with their environment and contribute to societal changes over time. The previous generational transition from Gen
In late 2024, the suicide of acclaimed Taiwanese author Chiung Yao at 86 sparked a societal debate. She expressed her desire to avoid the difficult aging process and sought to govern her own death rather than leave it to fate. Her statements propelled the issue of “euthanasia” back into the public arena, posing the question of whether Taiwan should legalize euthanasia to grant patients and the elderly the right to die with dignity. Euthanasia, the intentional ending of a life to relieve suffering, is legal for humans in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium but remains prohibited in Taiwan.
