Huh Yunjin of K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM couldn’t keep her fangirl feelings at bay as she interacted with jazz singer-songwriter Laufey. 

On X (formerly known as Twitter), a fan shared a brief exchange between the LE SSERAFIM member and a fan about Laufey’s music on the platform Werverse. 

“Yunjin, I would die if you’d cover a Laufey song,” the fan’s comment read. To which Yunjin replied that she’d love to do it. 

Initially, the exchange was well-received by fans alone. Some were even giving suggestions as to which Laufey song should Yunjin cover. 

However, fans online were surprised when Laufey herself took notice of the exchange. “Wait, what is happening,” the Icelandic vocalist said. 

Then, in another surprising development, Yunjin took the reins in explaining the situation using the official LE SSERAFIM account,“Hi. I’m Yunjin. I love you, I love you, I love you,” she wrote. 

In her response, Laufey also reciprocated the adoration presented by the K-pop star. “Yunjin, hi! I love you too, let’s sing together sometime,” she said. 

A Yunjin x Laufey collaboration?

Since the interaction between the two artists gained traction, both of their fans have expressed their hopes in seeing a possible collaboration. 

On social media, the fans are discussing how they’d like to hear a collaboration from two talented artists. Or, if it’s not new music, the fans are also eager for a chance of the two doing a cover of each other’s song, or featuring in remixes or new tracks. 

For those unfamiliar, Laufey is a 24-year-old Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter who rose to fame through Island Got Talent and The Voice Iceland. Also known as a jazz prodigy, the singer is famous for her songs that are of jazz tunes. She released her sophomore studio album Bewitched in September. 

Meanwhile, Yunjin has also explored doing solo music aside from just being a part of LE SSERAFIM. In 2023, she released her solo digital singles “I =/= DOLL,” “i love you twice,” and “blessing in disguise.”

The nine-member girl group is scheduled to perform their “Ready To Be” shows on September 30 and October 1 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.

Lisa of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK made history anew as she officially became the first idol to perform at the prestigious Crazy Horse in Paris.

What we know about Crazy Horse

For those unfamiliar, Crazy Horse in Paris is a well-known cabaret famous for its alluring stage performances featuring nude female dancers. 

Aside from Lisa, international celebrities like Beyonce, Aubade, and Frederick Wiseman, have all previously performed at the art theater.

In an interview with ELLE, Andrée Deissenberg, the show’s chief creative and brand officer, shared how Lisa’s participation in Crazy Horse came to be.

S.Coups Drops by Weverse to Update Fans

S.Coups, the charismatic leader of SEVENTEEN, recently took to Weverse to update fans about his day, particularly his ongoing rehabilitation. He began by reassuring CARATs, the fandom name for SEVENTEEN supporters, that he had completed his rehab for the day. Emphasizing the need for strength, he encouraged fans to stay strong, mirroring his own determination.

A concerned fan reached out, highlighting the challenges and pain associated with rehab. In response, S.Coups admitted that the process was more demanding than anticipated. This candid exchange was soon joined by fellow SEVENTEEN member Jeonghan, who playfully suggested a run together once S.Coups fully recovers. Jeonghan boasted about his improved stamina, saying he can now run for approximately six minutes. In response to another fan’s query, Jeonghan emphasized that the proposed run would take place after S.Coups‘ complete recovery.

SEVENTEEN SCOUPS WEVERSE LIVE || 🙂 || (230927)

S. Coups later went live. He greeted fans and spoke about his rehabilitation journey. “Hello. I worked hard on my rehab today. Rehab is always painful, but we have to overcome it. Talking isn’t bothersome; I just have to work hard. My muscles have deteriorated a lot. Anyway, it’s been a long time. I feel like I haven’t shown my face in a while. I thought briefly showing my face would be nice, so I turned this on for a moment.”

He also touched upon his sleep patterns, saying, “Certainly, someone who used to be physically active and now isn’t can’t sleep well at night. I fall asleep early and wake up early, so I couldn’t sleep. I’m always sleepy in the evenings. But I wanted to show my face briefly before I doze off. Let’s talk about good things. Let’s just chat.”

What has S.Coups been up to?

S.Coups revealed, “Lately, I’ve had a lot of free time, so even if I don’t release it, I wanted to do something productive. Being at home all the time makes me feel a bit down. So I ended up working on personal projects. I finished making a song, but recording is quite challenging, so I recorded twice. I made the song too difficult because I was too ambitious. But Bumzu-hyung and I are looking for a solution.”

Addressing fans’ curiosity about his appearance, he playfully teased, “Did I dye my hair? I dyed it, but the color faded. So I’m wondering what I should do with it now. My eyes are red, but that’s because my bangs are getting in my eyes after I cut them short.” He also touched on his diet: “I don’t drink much coffee, but I always leave some behind. I never really hated mint chocolate ice cream. I just never ate it often. Was it the ‘Superdad’ pack from Baskin Robbins? You have to order a few flavors, so I was like, ‘Let’s try the mint choco!’ And it was good.”

Hope and encouragement

Concluding his heartfelt session, S.Coups left fans with a message of hope and encouragement: “I have to go now, but I hope you all got a good look. I’ll work hard on my rehabilitation and show you a healthier side of me. CARATs, take care. The weather has been on and off with rain lately, so don’t get caught in it. We’ll see each other again when we can. I’ll come often. Everyone, rest well. I’ll go now. Bye-bye.”

His live broadcast lasted less than 12 minutes, but that was more than enough for the fans who missed him dearly. Here’s hoping he recovers from his injury soon! – K-Pop News Writer

She made a startling revelation ahead of the show’s October 5 premiere. This Japanese adaptation of CJ ENM x Mnet’s renowned reality audition show is entering its third season.

As they introduced themselves, Miu‘s familiar face captivated the K-pop stans who knew her from her previous survival shows. As she entered the audition venue, she dropped a bombshell via voiceover. She startled viewers when she revealed, “I was in NewJeans‘ debut group. We practiced together.”

This revelation sent waves online, making Miu a trending topic. Fans began speculating why she didn’t debut with NewJeans. Given her striking visuals, many believed she would have seamlessly fit into the good-looking, talented group.

All about Sakurai Miu

Originating from Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, Miu is a Capricorn, and her Chinese Zodiac sign is the Horse. This suggests she’s determined and free-spirited. Her Instagram handle, @beauty_feather0, is a nod to the Chinese meaning of her full name, “beautiful feathers.”

Her close ties with her Girls’ Planet 999 and Nizi Project, especially Kim Dayeon, Oguri Kako, and Wu Tammy, underscore her ability to forge meaningful relationships.

Will Miu’s third time be the charm?

On Mnet’s Girls Planet 999, Miu was hailed as one of the most beautiful Japanese trainees. Fans believe she would have been a stellar addition to NewJeans, given her commendable performances in shows like JYP Entertainment’s NiZi Project. J.Y. Park, JYP’s founder, even lauded her singing. When she tried out for Produce 101 Japan: The Girls, she became the center of the signal song.

Beyond the stage, Miu is a film aficionado, cherishing classics like The Shawshank Redemption and Titanic. She starts her days with TWICE‘s discography and admires IZ*ONE alum-turned-soloist Kwon Eunbi. Interestingly, if given a chance to time travel, she’d prefer revisiting the past over venturing into the future.

With her recent disclosure, netizens are rallying behind Sakurai Miu. They hope her third stint on an idol survival show culminates in a triumphant debut. – K-Pop News Writer

Jungkook of BTS Drops Teaser for ‘3D (feat. Jack Harlow)’

His foray into the solo music scene began not long ago with the release of the English track “Seven.” This song garnered immense popularity and clinched the coveted VMA award for Song of the Summer. Now, with “3D,” Jungkook is set to embark on a new musical journey.

정국 (Jung Kook) ‘3D (feat. Jack Harlow)’ Official Teaser

When Jungkook met Jack

Releasing just two days before its official launch date on September 29, the teaser for “3D” provided fans with a sneak peek at the song. The video portrays Jungkook in various looks, from an all-white suit to boots, pants, and a sleeveless shirt, all in black. He also wields a hammer in one scene. The upbeat tempo hinted in the teaser suggests that “3D” will be a real chartbuster.

In an exciting twist, Jungkook collaborated with the talented Jack Harlow on his second solo venture. This partnership promises a unique blend of musical styles, offering listeners a fresh and enthralling experience. In the teaser, the duo is playing chess on a sidewalk. While they didn’t share much screen time in the teaser, both artists gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the music video shoot on social media.
