Another three knocks, same speed and rhythm as before, if not a little bit more insistent, just before Elphaba pulls the door open, hand extending forward, eyes hard, only to be met with a dark sky and the barely visible tree line, until she looks down, her eyes meet wide, bright, brown eyes. “Hi!” Said the child, voice high pitched with excitement. _____________________________________________________ Elphaba might have left Oz but she left more than just Glinda behind her, now the consequences of her actions are coming back to her and this might just be what she needs to go back to Glinda, For Good.

Red Meat Market: Global Dynamics: What's Driving Demand and Trade?

Red Meat Market Growth & Trends

The global Red Meat Market is projected to reach an estimated USD 1,208.46 billion by 2030, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This rising demand for red meat globally is attributed to several interconnected factors.

Economic Growth

One of the primary drivers is economic growth. As disposable incomes increase, particularly in emerging economies across the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and parts of Africa, consumers are better able to afford higher-priced protein sources like red meat. This economic uplift allows families to incorporate a wider variety of premium food options into their diets, making red meat a more accessible choice.

Urbanization and Dietary Shifts

Additionally, urbanization has significantly shifted dietary patterns. City dwellers are increasingly adopting Western eating habits that favor red meat consumption. This trend is especially pronounced among middle-class populations who have greater access to diverse food options and are willing to spend on quality protein sources. The combination of urban living and increased income leads to a greater prevalence of red meat in everyday diets.

Health and Fitness Trends

Health and fitness trends also play a crucial role in driving demand for red meat. There is a growing awareness of the importance of protein in diets, with red meat being recognized as a nutrient-dense source of high-quality protein, iron, and essential vitamins like B12. Health-conscious consumers, including fitness enthusiasts, view red meat as beneficial for muscle growth and recovery, despite some concerns about saturated fat. This perception positions red meat as an attractive addition to a balanced diet for those looking to enhance their protein intake.

Cultural and Culinary Traditions

Moreover, cultural and culinary traditions significantly sustain the demand for red meat. In many regions, red meat holds cultural value and features prominently in traditional meals, celebrations, and family gatherings. Even as global diets diversify, it remains central to various cuisines—such as steaks in North America, lamb dishes in the Middle East, and beef barbecues in Latin America—reinforcing its role as a staple food choice.

Red Meat Market Report Highlights

The sheep & goat segment is expected to growth with a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030. Sheep and goat meat holds significant cultural importance in various regions, especially in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, where they are integral to traditional dishes. This cultural relevance not only sustains demand but also encourages culinary innovation that incorporates these meats into modern diets. For instance, lamb is often featured in festive meals and religious celebrations, ensuring a steady market presence throughout the year. The versatility of these meats in various cooking styles further enhances their appeal across diverse demographics.

Sales through B2C channels are expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2030. The shifts in consumer preferences and awareness within the Europe region are poised to drive demand, particularly fueled by the introduction of new products and a growing recognition of organic options in meat categories.

Countries like Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Belgium are expected to play a significant role in this trend due to evolving dietary preferences among their populations.

“Make me make—BAD DECISIONS.”

✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀-✴-☀

You had talked for a few years, dated for a while, and—as recently as 2 years ago, been married to the love of your life: Hyun.

You still remember the day you met. The overnight flight, stuffy conference room, and brief introductions. His broad shoulders, kissable lips, and bright brown eyes. A sharp three-piece suit, honey toned skin, and a confident stride. He immediately caught your eye, but he was an associate of the company that your own boss was interested in collaborating with. Unreachable. Completely off limits. You knew better than to mix work with pleasure.

But he was so charming. Always a gentleman. He opened doors for you and never looked down on you, knowing full well that you were his equal in the field. A woman worthy of her position after the many years it took you to get there. He listened to you: your marketing ideas and operational insight. The thoughts that swam laps around your mind.

Contract coworkers became acquaintances. Acquaintances became good friends. He drove across 4 districts to pick you up when your car broke down in the middle of the road. He pulled you back from the crosswalk when a truck ran the red light. He was a listening ear for you on the nights that you couldn’t hold the weight of the world on your shoulders all by yourself. And you did the same for him. Tenfold.

Over the years, you laughed at each other’s jokes, leaned on each other’s shoulders, and grew not only as individuals, but as a team. A pair. A couple of 9 to 5, caffeine high, and sleep deprived people who somehow figured out everything right. Not perfect, but for the both of you? Just right.

It wasn’t love at first sight. Sparks didn’t immediately fly. It was slow. Gradual. Continuous. Endless. Then one day, he looked over at you from across his living room and said, “I’d like to hang out with you for my whole life.”

Things have always been steady with Hyun. You both built a foundation together. A sturdy structure of mutual love, trust, and respect. Dating a business partner is not always a great decision—it’s more often than not a bad decision, but you wouldn’t have the life you’ve built with him any other way.

Life is better. School is going great. I finally found my 'creative vision' again after months of healing. I've found myself again, and with that, I'm ready to begin sharing my bbh stories with the world again.

The 40 Best K-Pop Songs of 2021 (by PAPER Magazine) (full article → HERE)

#16 Advice by TAEMIN

Nobody loves drama the way Taemin loves drama. He embodies it fully, visually and physically. The patron saint of carnal pop released just one single this year before he was called to fulfill his enlistment duties, but it left an immeasurable impact. In many ways, "Advice" is classic Lee Taemin, otherwise known as SHINee's eternal maknae and SuperM's sage chaos master. Baroque and intoxicating, the song itself is a harmonious dance between major and minor, of rhythmic arpeggios and mesmerizing EDM riffs. "Advice" is luxurious. It sounds expensive. As if Taemin would have left us any other way.

#12 Don’t Call Me by SHINee

It's one thing to push pop into the future; it's another to dismantle it completely and play with the parts. K-pop legends SHINee fall into the latter category. For 13 years, they've eschewed trends to define their own distinct musicality — from pristine electropop to rhythmic bangers. On "Don't Call Me," their first release as a unit since 2018, SHINee takes a hard-spun K-pop sound as it's currently being expressed — dark synths, clattering hi-hats and weighty beats — and renders it bolder, edgier and more dynamic. And that piano breakdown? SHINee's back, indeed.

#5 BAD LOVE by KEY

Synthwave clearly has K-pop in a chokehold, but there's not a single artist who embodies this style of exuberant dance music like Kim Kibum, SHINee's elusive chanteur. "Bad Love" is as much an extension of himself and his artistry as the wardrobe he painstakingly curated for his album rollout, or the pulpy, retrofuturism concept he conceived and fought for. Key knows exactly who he is and what he wants to bring to the pop ecosystem, and that's genuinely thrilling in an industry where control is rarely conceded. He's been a student of pop his whole life — Bowie, Gaga, those are his muses. With "Bad Love," Key is now the master.

Pairing : Jisung x Reader

Genres : Angst, Spy!

Summary : What will happen when a explosive boyfriend finds out that his girlfriend follow him in his dangerous activities?

words: 822 words

A/N: Hello moonlights! Welcome to my first serie “How to break a heart”, It’s been a while since I’ve written long fics so sorry if it’s not so good, Thank you for reading this!Hope you enjoy, follow me, be a moonlight 🌙

Networks: @knet-bakery @hotpink-ent @superm-net

Park Jisung has always been explosive since he was quite young, and you knew it.

You and jisung have known each other since you were 3 years old, you were neighbors so you guys were always very close to each other, your relationship evolved into another category when you became teenagers and started dating.

Jisung was very affectionate and protective but had zero patience for stupidity and was very explosive, in adolescence he went through several fights due to his sharp tongue , going home all hurt, although explosive jisung was very intelligent and that's why he was recruited to a team of elite spies. Right after graduation Jisung entered the best spy team in the country, in just one mission he managed to raise money to buy a nice apartment for both of you.

Despite jisung being very well paid, his job was, full of secrets and dangerous, he spent a lot of time away from home, sometimes even months. Jisung always tried his hardest to let you know the least about his work, he didn't tell you about what he was doing until you agreed to live with him, but you weren't a fool it was impossible for a bakery worker to raise so much money to an apartment in a well-known neighborhood and buy so many expensive things for you. He didn't tell you much just that he was some kind of spy and that his job was dangerous and he couldn't go into details.

Today Jisung hasn't been home for exactly 2 months now, you know he's alive, he texted you on a disposable phone.

“I'm fine, don't worry, take care. I love you PJS"

You were watching any program that was on TV just to distract yourself from thinking about it when you hear the door close, you get up straight away and see a black hair, that's him.

He's a little startled to see you up so late, but then breaks into a smile.

"Isn't it a little late for you to be awake?"

His black hair is long, he is more thinner although you can still see the muscles in his arms, he looks taller or maybe it's because you haven't seen him in a long time.

You walk towards him, if you want to look him in the eye you have to look up, he pulls you into a hug.

"I returned"

"I thought you were dead"

He laughs but doesn't respond.

After you spent almost hours hugging, when he walked away and said:

"I'm hungry, let's order something and watch a movie!"

You agreed and now you were watching a movie he chose.

"Is that a deer?" You say pointing to the animal that appeared.

"It's an otter, idiot"

He always did that, whenever you made a mistake Jisung was always there to insult you, get you down, that was one of his problems.

You were halfway through the movie when Jisung's phone rings, he goes to the balcony to answer it and after a short conversation, he comes back:

"I'm sorry but it looks like I have an urgent job, as here in the area I'll be back in short time"

And then he disappeared from the apartment, you were always curious to know what exactly he was doing so for innocence you followed him. Jisung went to a dark neighborhood, there was Mark and Jaemin, they walked a little to another alley, another man appeared, they were having a calm conversation until this man pointed a gun at Jaemin, then Jisung and Mark pulled out their guns, you were shocked you had never seen Jisung hold a gun.

The man walked backwards, and at a speed he caught you and pointed the gun at your head.

"Now gentlemes, I wouldn't want to have to kill an innocent girl"

"Let her go let's talk peacefully"

"Hmmm A conversation doesn't seem ideal right now Lee, I want the 20 kg now or she dies."

"Okay that's it, here's the 20 kg now let go of the girl." Mark said, giving the white package to the man who fled soon after”

“The boss will not be happy” Jaemin said

You looked at Jisung waiting for some affection from him, but was met by a furious look.

"You are stupid? Why did you follow me, idiot? Do you know what I do is dangerous and you still follow me? You are an idiot?" Jisung screamed at you

“Dude, I think she's already understood, stop yelling at her” Jaemin continues “I'll take her home you'll talk to the boss”

Halfway through you apologize to Jaemin, and he smiles and says it's okay.

After Jaemin dropped you at home, you started packing, you were tired of everything, Jisung's insults, his absence because of his job.

You left a farewell note and left for good.

[BREAKING NEWS] NCT's Lily wins a Grammy!

NCT's Lily (also part of supergroups SuperM and Girls on Top) made history on April 3rd as she won the 'Song of the Year' at this year's Grammy awards beating out names such as Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, Bruno Mars, Lil Nas X, and Justin Bieber. She also performed her song 'INVU' as part of the ceremonies as well.

Lily also won 'Favourite trending song' and 'favourite female artist at this year's AMA's, making her the second K-pop act, first female k-pop artist, and first K-pop female soloist to be nominated and win the awards. 'We and Us' also won Lily SOTY at the VMA's, as well as 'Best kpop video'. At this year's 42nd BRIT awards, Lily also swept her nominated categories with 'British Artist of the Year', 'International solo artist', and 'Songwriter of the year' which made her only the second Korean act to be nominated and the first to win at only 21 years old.

Even though Lily (full name being Lilibeth Bae) is but one member of NCT, she won with her hit song "We and Us" off her solo self-titled debut album. Her title song 'We and Us' went viral on the internet at its early 2021 release and remains a fan-favourite nearly a year later. Lily connected with fans all over the world as she released two versions of her hit song, one in English and the other in Korean. When Lily performed her song at this year's awards, the crowd sang along with her, proving the song's reach. 'We and Us' has since sold 800k+ copies worldwide.

Nicknamed Korea's "It girl", Lily has made her steady upclimb in the Korean industry, transforming from one of the most hated idols to one of the most beloved in the nation. Interestingly, she is the first and (so far) only British-born idol in the industry so making history is nothing new for the 22-year-old. Lily has impressed fans throughout her many debuts (NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, SuperM, Solo, and Girls on Top) and shows no signs of stopping. NCT Dream recently released their second full-length album "Glitch Mode" which she promoted several times during the night. She made her initial debut in 2016 with NCT U's '7th sense' and became one of the founding NCT members and has become a respected senior and "idol of idols" as many other idols claim to be fans.

Some BTS fans (ARMY) voiced their displeasure at BTS for not winning a grammy despite their second nomination in as many years and went as far as to send hate to the young idol. But rest assured, BTS themselves reveal that they're extremely happy for their junior and claimed that "no one deserved it more" on a Vlive later that night. Suga hilariously revealed he's cried to that song more than once. Lily also made more headlines that night as she and BTS's V shared a moment as she participated in their performance. V later states in the same Vlive that they are just friends, that he has nothing but respect for Lily, and that he only whispered an "I'm so nervous".

Lily also made sure to give a special shout-out to her members and fans in her speech. She recently also gained a nomination at this years billboard music award.

Congratulations to Lily!
