A "Shark Tank" alum found himself navigating a shadowy lending world last year, scrambling for cash to pay unexpected tariff bills, according to NPR News. Simultaneously, the success of the Netflix superhero series "Cashero," starring Lee Jun-ho, highlighted the actor's ability to reinvent himself, as reported by Variety. Meanwhile, political tensions and fears surrounding election integrity continue to grow in the United States, as detailed by Vox.
Joshua Esnard, a small business owner and "Shark Tank" alum, was inundated with urgent offers of quick cash from strangers, according to NPR News. These offers, often promising approval in an hour and money in a day, ranged from $350,000 to over $900,000. The pitches, which began in the middle of last year, were a response to the financial strain caused by unexpected tariff bills. "No gimmicks, Joshua," one lender reportedly said.
Lee Jun-ho, the star of "Cashero," which reached No. 2 globally and cracked the Top 10 in over 70 countries, is planning his next reinvention as a villain in "Veteran 3," according to Variety. The actor, a member of the group 2PM, has demonstrated a mastery of pivoting in his career.
The political landscape in the United States is also facing significant challenges. According to Vox, the deep divisions between Democrats and Republicans are evident in their disagreements on fundamental issues such as the status of a fetus, immigration, and climate change. Furthermore, Vox reported that many Americans have feared for the integrity of future elections since January 2025.
