International appeal

Upon its release, minisode 3: TOMORROW debuted at number one on the Circle Album Chart (formerly Gaon Chart), with 1,542,718 copies sold in its first week. This achievement marks TXT’s ninth No. 1 album on the Circle Album Chart, bringing their total sales across all albums to 14.6 million units on this chart. The impact of TXT’s latest project extends beyond the South Korean music scene. minisode 3: TOMORROW is expected to debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in the US with sales of over 105,000 units in its first week.

As further proof of their international appeal, TXT recently appeared on NBC’s The Kelly Clarkson Show for the second time. Host Kelly Clarkson introduced them as “one of the most famous K-pop groups on the planet.” She also highlighted their performances at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards and the music festival Lollapalooza.

Their performance of “Deja Vu” on the show began with a scene where a coin marked “2019”—the year of the group’s debut—was displayed. It featured sand slipping through fingers and props meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia. TXT combined all that with their dynamic choreography and facial expressions to convey the mood of the song. The highlight of the performance was a dazzling dance break featuring all five members.

TOZ From ‘Boys Planet’ to Make Korean Debut in Early May

The Mnet survival show Boys Planet has already given us many successful K-pop groups. There’s EVNNE, ONEPACT, and of course, the winning nine-member team of ZEROBASEONE. But it seems the show isn’t done being the gift that keeps on giving. Another group—the four-member Japanese act TOZ—is set to make their official Korean debut. Their EP, TO my new friends, will be released on May 2.

TO my new friends is TOZ’s second EP, following their debut EP Flare, which included five Japanese tracks and was released simultaneously in Japan and Korea last September. The upcoming EP, featuring all Korean lyrics, aims to cement TOZ’s presence in the Korean music industry. A promotional poster featuring a light blue teddy bear and the EP’s release date was shared on the band’s social media pages, sparking excitement among fans.

Meet the members of TOZ

All four members of TOZ were popular contestants on Boys Planet, but they didn’t make the ZEROBASEONE lineup. Anthonny, the group’s leader and main vocalist of Filipino-Japanese descent, trained under WAKEONE for a while before joining Boys Planet. He also participated in Produce 101 Japan Season 2. When he’s not onstage, he enjoys drawing, playing badminton, and watching movies. His role model is AB6IX’s Lee Dae Hwi.

Haruto has a rich multicultural background. He lived in the US—specifically in New Jersey—which is how he became fluent in English. He can also speak Japanese and Korean, and is currently trying to learn Chinese. Not only is he multilingual, but he’s also adept at various styles of dance including ballet, breakdancing, and tap dancing. His smooth moves made him popular on Boys Planet and an integral part of TOZ.

♬ summerlove – kit 🎀

Like Haruto, Yuto is fluent in English, Japanese, and Korean. His admiration for BTS influenced him to become an idol. His favorite BTS song is “Spring Day.” When he’s not dancing, he can be found eating ice cream (he says his specialty is “eating food quickly”) or watching animated movies.

The youngest member, Takuto, is known for his love of nature. When he has spare time, he enjoys going on bike rides to soak up some fresh air. For his Boys Planet audition, he dressed up as a boxer, charming both the judging panel and his fellow contestants. He can do backflips and round-offs, which make him a compelling presence onstage. His favorite song is “Cheers” by the SEVENTEEN leaders.

A wide variety of content

According to their agency YY Entertainment, TOZ will hold live concerts, perform on music shows, and work on a wide variety of content to connect with the Korean audience. All four boys are determined to make their mark in the highly competitive K-pop scene, like many of their fellow Boys Planet alums have done. – K-Pop News Writer

S.Coups Appears on the Cover of DAZED Korea’s Latest Issue

This month, the fashion and culture magazine DAZED Korea released a cover story featuring the leader of SEVENTEEN, S.Coups. With his distinctive, deep-set eyes and manly physique, S.Coups made hearts flutter on the set of the photoshoot. He cut a dashing figure in clothes by Fendi, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Versace, and more.

The photoshoot was organized by a team of skilled professionals. This team was led by DAZED Korea editor Keem Hyobeen. Also on board were art director Song Yuli, photographer Jang Dukhwa, stylist Choi Younghoe, and writer Kwon Sohee. S.Coups’s hair and makeup were done by Woo Eunhye and Ko Lina, respectively, both of whom are associated with Cutloose. Their collaboration resulted in a well-executed and visually appealing photoshoot.

After sustaining an ACL injury in August 2023, S.Coups went on hiatus. In the interview that accompanied the photos, he opened up about his recovery. He shared, “Yes, I’ve been diligently doing rehab, and watching all the guys’ performances. It was the first time I watched from the audience. As I watched, I thought, ‘Ah, they deserve to receive love.’ Being skilled is one thing, but they looked really happy being on stage.”

[LULU’S 101] FAST FORWARD with S.Coups

Frustrated and angry

S.Coups reflected on his role within SEVENTEEN. One of his duties involves the group’s greeting. When they have to introduce themselves, he leads the rest of the group by asking them to “Say the name.” They respond by shouting the group’s name.

According to S.Coups, his members did their best to execute the greeting properly in his absence, but they’re only human, so they naturally messed up from time to time. “They’re really bad at the greeting,” he told DAZED Korea with a chuckle. “They would keep making mistakes, so we’d talk about it and tease each other for it. That’s why I thought ‘I wish we were all together’ even more.”

While the rest of the members were working, he spent much time alone, which he found difficult. “I tried to be honest with my feelings. I was frustrated and angry with myself many times because I went from someone who uses their body to someone who can’t. Rehab felt more like overcoming myself rather than like exercise. I was worried. I had concerns like, ‘Even if I consistently do rehab, will I be able to use my body like before?’ Since I got hurt, I unconsciously became more scared and cautious when I moved.” Thinking of his members and the fans gave him the strength to go on.

[NINE HEART PICKS] S.COUPS

S.Coups is still taking it easy

The interview also delved into S.Coups’s leadership style and how it has evolved over the years. He credits fellow SEVENTEEN member Jeonghan with helping him become a better leader.

“Up until 2020, I was kind of a scary hyung,” S.Coups admits. “At one point, there were a lot of rules, and I gave a lot of feedback as the hyung. I did that wanting the members to love each other the most when it came to this job. But then we ended up not really being happy on stage. SEVENTEEN’s charm won’t show when things are awkward, too disciplined, and uptight. That’s why I felt like I was doing something wrong. At the time, Jeonghan really helped me. He has always had a casual, friend-like relationship with the members, so he gave me lots of advice and even conveyed to the members how I really felt. From that point on, I let go of a lot of things.”

S.Coups’s condition has since improved to the point that he has been able to return to work, although he’s still taking it easy. SEVENTEEN is gearing up for a comeback and more concerts. In the meantime, CARATs can see more of S.Coups in DAZED Korea’s print edition and on their website. – K-Pop News Writer

Samuel Kim Sets First Comeback After Almost Six Years

Singer Samuel Kim is set to make a comeback after years of radio silence.

He rose to fame in 2017 as a contestant on the second season of Mnet’s survival show Produce 101, representing Brave Entertainment. Despite being a strong contender and placing second in the first round of eliminations, he did not make the final lineup for WANNA ONE, finishing 18th overall instead. This outcome came as a shock to those who believed Samuel could be a leading member of the group.

Full Video of Samuel’s Journey in PRODUCE 101 Season 2

Before Produce 101, Samuel was a trainee at PLEDIS Entertainment, where he was part of the pre-debut group that would eventually become SEVENTEEN. However, he left the agency before SEVENTEEN’s debut, citing personal reasons. In 2015, Samuel debuted in the hip-hop duo 1Punch with rapper One. They debuted in January of that year with the song “Turn Me Back.” The duo disbanded eight months later when YG Entertainment scouted One. 

Samuel with Seventeen – Cute boy- My baby ^^

Samuel continued to release music as Punch, collaborating with Silentó on the single “Spotlight” in 2016. Their collaboration won them the Global Collaboration Award at the 26th Seoul Music Awards in 2017. Later, Samuel toured the US with Silentó.

Fans can’t wait to see Samuel return

 After appearing on Produce 101, he embarked on a solo career in 2017 under Brave Entertainment. He released his first full-length studio album that year and followed it with multiple EPs throughout 2018. That same year, Samuel partnered with Chinese singer Zhou Zhennan to participate in the second season of Tencent’s The Collaboration. They won the competition.

 Samuel’s career encountered a setback when he filed a lawsuit against Brave Entertainment over contract disputes in 2019. That was the same year he lost his father. Samuel retreated into himself for a couple of years until he won the lawsuit against his former agency in 2021. In 2022, he began to inch his way back into the public eye by hosting the Arirang Radio program Radio N’ Us.

 The anticipation for Samuel’s comeback has been building, especially after he teased fans with a possible tracklist in February. 

His upcoming album Now, set to be released on April 21, promises to reflect his personal growth and professional evolution. A recently released teaser video features Samuel discussing his past struggles and the maturity he’s gained over the years, adding depth to the excitement surrounding his return.

Fans are eager for this new phase in Samuel’s career and are ready to support him however they can as a way to celebrate his resilience and determination to make a mark in K-pop. – K-Pop News Writer

Ex-TO1 Member Donggeon Signs With BEAT INTERACTIVE as an Actor

Former TO1 member Donggeon, now going by his real name, Song Dong-geon, is preparing to launch an acting career. He recently joined the comprehensive entertainment company BEAT INTERACTIVE. In a statement, the agency said, “In March 2024, we signed an exclusive contract with Song Dong-geon. Mr. Song debuted as the lead vocalist of the group TO1 and has been active both domestically and internationally. He is an artist with diverse charms and boundless potential, not only as a singer but also as an actor.”

They added, “We ask for your continued interest and love for Song Dong-geon as he makes a fresh leap as an actor under BEAT INTERACTIVE. We will provide unwavering support to ensure he can actively participate in various projects both in Korea and internationally.”

TOO — Unhelpful guide to Song Donggeon

Dong-geon, a 24-year-old with a commanding presence, is known for his attractive features and pleasant voice. His background is quite interesting, having been born into a family where his father was a pilot. This fueled his desire to explore the world, particularly Europe and Africa. This adventurous spirit led him to live in the Philippines for a while, where he studied English.

His musical journey began when he placed fifth in the survival show WORLD KLASS, which led to the formation of the boy group TOO, later renamed TO1. During his time with TO1, Dong-geon served as one of the group’s vocalists. He was celebrated for his great vocal range and ability to hit high notes effortlessly. He was also considered one of the group’s visuals. Dong-geon was hailed for his excellent physique, especially his washboard abs. However, his favorite part of his body is his arms because they are muscular and veined.

We wish Dong-geon the best

All eyes are on Dong-geon as he embarks on this new chapter of his career. BEAT INTERACTIVE, home to groups like A.C.E, the crossover group Forestella, and actors such as Choi Jong-hyun and Park In-hwan, provides a dynamic and supportive artistic environment. Now that he’s part of the agency’s diverse roster, Dong-geon is expected to explore opportunities that will allow him to stretch himself creatively. Fans are also hopeful that he will not only act in a K-drama but also contribute to its soundtrack as a solo artist.

In the meantime, he has filmed a YouTube video with A.C.E’s Kang Yuchan. This collaboration involved their agency and Trip.com. Check it out below.
