KPOPWORLD #2

O NewJeans não lança música há quase dois anos — mas, mesmo assim, sua marca está por toda parte no K-pop nesses últimos dois anos. Agora, com a ADOR confirmando que o grupo está em Copenhagen trabalhando em novas músicas, a questão não é apenas quando elas voltarão

Como o possível comeback do NewJeans pode mudar toda a indústria do K-pop

Dois incidentes, duas respostas muito diferentes — e um padrão que continua se repetindo. @chyandblack analisa as polêmicas em sequência envolvendo G-Dragon e Eunseok, do RIIZE, e faz a pergunta que fãs de K-pop vêm fazendo há anos: em que momento a ignorância vira negligência?

Quando ídolos do K-pop se tornam ofensores culturais recorrentes — quando isso vai parar?

Ten está, discretamente, construindo algo próprio — uma empresa de produção sediada em Bangkok lançada nesta semana com o nome dele estampado por todos os lados, mesmo sem um comunicado oficial

Featured MV of the Day: “You Know (feat. Okasian)” by Jay Park

The chorus-effected guitar on this song is so rich and distinct I initially thought it was an organ. It makes the entire song feel infused with soul as the bass and drums lock together in perfectly groovy synchronicity. The female vocal is sweet but bold as it soars above the band during the chorus. In the verses it’s intimately coy, with a mysterious delivery. This was the first song I ever heard from Bosudong Cooler, and it got me hooked on the band forever. Make sure to check it out!
