HBO Originals The Idol featuring BLACKPINK member Jennie will no longer be returning for another season. 

On Tuesday, August 29, HBO announced that the star-studded series has been canceled after its first season.  

 

“The Idol was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response. After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season. We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work,” an HBO spokesperson told the media in a press release.

Co-created by Euphoria director Sam Levinson and “Blinding Lights” singer The Weeknd, The Idol made its premiere on June 4. 

The axed series also starred The Weeknd, who goes by Abel Tesfaye in his acting ventures, Lily-Rose Depp, Dan Levy, Rachel Sennott and other well-renowned Hollywood actors.

 

Despite the promising lineup of cast and intriguing plot, the controversial show received poor ratings from the viewers. The series garnered only a 19% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

HBO also only released viewing data for its first episodes. While the premiere episode was reportedly watched by 913,000 people, its second episode had a 12% decline, dipping only to 800,000 viewers. 

Additionally, the first season, which was supposedly a six-episode run, concluded earlier with just five episodes. 

Jennie on Her Acting Debut

Jennie has expressed her fascination about the series, which marked her acting debut, as it was about the music industry. “I thought I could bring something to the role,” she mentioned in an interview. .

 The singer also revealed that she has been admiring Sam Levinson’s works for a long time. She added that she trusted the director to be collaborative with their work.

 

Additionally, Jennie looked back on her idol journey as she played the role of Dyanne, who she claimed was an “opportunity to be myself and be brave.”

“It’s overwhelming, but I’m grateful and thankful. All of those things at the same time,” the superstar added.

Interestingly, Jennie is the second member of BLACKPINK to venture into acting. Prior to her, Jisoo starred in the Disney+ series Snowdrop. 

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is gearing up for their BORN PINK world tour finale. YG Entertainment, the girl group’s agency, recently announced that the tour will have its finale on September 16 and 17 at the Gocheok Sky Dome. 

 

This allows BLACKPINK to break history once again, as they become the first K-pop female group to perform at South Korea’s largest indoor hall.

Former 2NE1 member CL concluded her two-year domestic management partnership with Konnect Entertainment

The collaborative domestic management partnership between the renowned artist CL and Konnect Entertainment has officially concluded. Both CL’s record label Very Cherry and Konnect Entertainment have confirmed the conclusion of their two-year partnership. Although this puts the idol in an uncertain situation, BLACKJACKs are hoping it means new content from the former 2NE1 member.

CL Parts Ways With Konnect Entertainment, Ends Management Partnership

On August 29, Very Cherry shared the news about CL’s domestic management partnership. The record label confirmed that the idol concluded the collaboration with Konnect Entertainment. “The partnership that has prevailed for the past two years has come to an end,” they said.

This partnership, initiated in July 2021, served as a platform for several significant projects, including the promotion of domestic broadcasting activities for ‘ALPHA,’ which marked CL’s debut solo studio album. The collaboration was instrumental in bringing CL’s music to a wider audience during this period.

With the closure of the partnership between CL and Konnect Entertainment, CL is poised to reconnect with her devoted fan base. A representative from Very Cherry, her record label, dropped hints about forthcoming plans,

“We are strategically planning to continue our activities through various forms of partnerships,” they said.

The Future for CL

This suggests that while one chapter closes, CL and Very Cherry are already looking ahead to new and diverse avenues for their artistic endeavors. CL’s fans can anticipate exciting developments as she explores fresh opportunities on her creative journey.

Last year, CL reunited with fellow 2NE1 members Bom, DARA, and Minzy to perform at the 2022 Coachella Festival. This would be the group’s first performance in over six years since the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards in December 2015.

In related news, fellow 2NE1 member DARA dropped her first solo album “Sandara Park”. This would be her first album release in South Korea and her first release overall in 14 years since the promotional single “Kiss” in 2009.

Former WayV Member LUCAS Shows Support for NCT U’s ‘Baggy Jeans’

The former WayV member shared his support for NCT U's latest single 'Baggy Jeans'

Former NCT member LUCAS is voicing his support for NCT U. The former WayV member announced his departure from both the group and sub-unit earlier this year. However, Lucas Wong couldn’t help but show support for his friends. On the other hand, some NCTZENs are not impressed with the gesture.

LUCAS Endorses NCT U’s Latest Single

On August 28th, NCT U unveiled the music video for their latest track, “Baggy Jeans.” The track features the same iconic lineup of members that made “The 7th Sense” a sensation. Taeyong, Doyoung, Ten, Jaehyun, and Mark are officially back and their return caused a wave of excitement among NCTZENs. Not surprisingly, fans have eagerly embraced this new offering from the talented quintet.

With the return of this beloved lineup and their captivating new music, “Baggy Jeans” promises to be another milestone in NCT U’s journey. It is set to unite fans and former members alike in celebration of their artistry.

The positive response to “Baggy Jeans” extends beyond the fanbase, as former WayV member LUCAS also expressed his thoughts on the track via Bubble. This demonstrates the enduring camaraderie and mutual support among NCT members, past and present.

“‘Baggy Jeans’ is too cool, please support it a lot,” LUCAS wrote.

Although it is awesome to see LUCAS supporting NCT U, most fans were not impressed. The messages he posted were featured in an online forum thread, and the overwhelming sentiment in the comments section was clearly disapproving of the idol’s actions. Many expressed irritation at his attempt to insert himself into the “Baggy Jeans” conversation.

Prior to his exit from NCT and WayV, LUCAS had been on hiatus since August 2021. He was initially set to release a new single with fellow WayV member Hendery. However, it was postponed as LUCAS faced controversy over a cheating scandal. He is expected to make his solo debut this year.

NCT’s revolving sub-unit NCT U finally returned with new music on Monday, August 28, with the release of “Baggy Jeans.” 

Said track is one of the two title tracks of NCT’s fourth studio album Golden Age. The members featured in the sub-unit’s performance are Taeyong, Mark, Doyoung, Jaehyun, and Ten. 

 

Meanwhile, the other title track, “Golden Age,” was led by all 20 members of the group. Its cinematic music video was also released days ahead of the album. 

 

Aside from the two title tracks, Golden Age also has eight other tracks. The list  includes “Call D”, “PADO”, “The BAT”, “Alley Oop”, “That’s Not Fair”, “Kangaroo”, “Not Your Fault”, and an interlude track “Oasis.” 

Moreover, GOLDEN AGE serves as NCT’s first full group comeback in more than a year and a half. Their last was the studio album Universe that was released in December 2021. 

NCTzens misses NCT U

What really made “Baggy Jeans” special is that it marks the sub-unit’s first comeback in seven years. NCT U last came together in 2016 with their debut track “The 7th Sense.”

 

After the music video dropped, fans brought their sentiments to the social media where they shared how addicting the song is. Even the comment section is also packed with positive comments as fans enjoy the unit’s new music.

“Finally NCT U’s unit comeback again with an iconic song and choreography! The music video is also unique! I love it,” one fan commented. 

 

The whirlwind of activities in NCT Universe 

Prior to the release of Golden Age, the act also held their first-ever offline concert as a full group titled NCT Nation: To The World. The members carefully curated a 40-song setlist, including the live performances of their latest titles “Baggy Jeans” and “Golden Age”.

After their South Korean stop, NCT will take the tour to Osaka and Tokyo in Japan.

 

Additionally, NCT 127, another NCT subunit, also announced that they’re making a comeback in October with their fifth full-length album Fact Check. 

Earlier this month, NCT also announced four upcoming releases from its NCT LAB project. This includes a solo track titled “Horizon” by Jaehyun, which was already released. 

 

Other upcoming songs include a duet by Taeil and Haechan, a solo track by Kun, and another unit song by Kun, Xiaojun, Renjun, and Chenle. For those unfamiliar, NCT LAB is a SM STATION series which allows the members to release their self-composed solo and unit tracks.

As of writing, NCT has a total of five subunits: NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, NCT U, and NCT DoJaeJung. However, SM Entertainment earlier confirmed that they’re forming the group’s last sub-unit, NCT Tokyo. 

Through the reality survival series NCT Universe: Lastart, a six-member boy group will be formed.

TXT’s Hueningkai Touches Base With MOA In Latest Live Broadcast

Hueningkai of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) recently took to Weverse, offering fans a candid glimpse into his life, thoughts, and more. This live stream served as an intimate bridge between the K-pop idol and MOA, revealing facets of his personal and professional lives.

When he began the session, Hueningkai mused about the fleeting nature of summer, saying, “Hello! I just wanted to chat today. We had dance practice and a video call fansign. I started this stream right after it ended. Are you still at school even though it’s 9:00 PM? Oh, you’re coming from an after-school academy? I see. The new semester begins tomorrow, right? I can’t believe the summer break is almost over. It’s August 23 already, and fall is approaching. This summer was particularly hot.”

Pondering over his weekend plans, he sought drama recommendations, revealing, “What should I do this weekend? I might spend it practicing or catching up on dramas. Is there anything I should do? Give me recommendations! I see comments recommending The Uncanny Counter and Zombieverse. I haven’t watched Elemental yet; I feel like I’m just going to wait till it’s out on Disney+.”

Music is a significant part of his life

His excitement was palpable as he showcased a new phone case, saying, “I have something I want to show off: a new phone case with a cute bunny design. It was so adorable that I had to buy it. I’ve also changed my phone to a Samsung 23 Ultra in cream color, which is essentially the white version. Before this, I had a green phone. For my birthday, Yeonjun-hyung gave me clothes as a present. I should wear them and show you all later. Thank you for the gift, hyung!”

Music remains a significant part of Hueningkai’s life. He shared, “The drum set arrived at the dorm! Taehyun and I plan to set it up later today. Lately, I’ve been playing the guitar. Honestly, given the opportunity, I’d prefer to do a guitar live session over a piano one. I’ve never done a guitar live session before, have I?” 

He also mentioned Soobin‘s taste in music, saying, “Soobin-hyung is still listening to that Elemental OST. Even after we returned to Korea, he plays it every time we’re in the car. As soon as we get in, I hear Lauv‘s voice. I wonder if he plays it on purpose when I’m around. Maybe I should pick a song to play whenever he’s near. I could choose the ‘Mix n’ Max’ song and dance energetically whenever he’s with me.”

Hueningkai on languages and his MBTI

Reflecting on his personality, he shared insights into his MBTI results and evolving nature, “About two to three years ago, during the pandemic, I took the MBTI test and got ISTJ. However, I was certain I wasn’t a ‘J’. I think I’m an ISTP. I believe Taehyun influenced my shift from ‘F’ to ‘T’. How did I become introverted? I remember being extroverted until elementary school. I was always initiating conversations. But as I got older, I became more reserved. I began to like staying indoors. I feel healed when I’m at our dorm.”

Hueningkai also talked about his plan to study languages. His admiration for his father’s linguistic prowess was evident. He said, “I’ve developed an interest in languages recently. My dad is fluent in many languages, which I find so impressive. When I listen to him talk, I tell myself, ‘I can do it too!’ However, sometimes I doubt myself. I make an effort to speak to my dad entirely in English. I’m so thankful to him for sending me lists of English words useful for daily life and communicating with fans. These words are immensely helpful. I’m eager to learn different languages and am determined to do so. When I shared this with my dad, he offered to teach me all the languages he knows. So I gratefully responded, ‘Thank you, Dad.'”

A touching moment

Lastly, in a touching moment, Hueningkai empathized with a fan who lost a class election by a single vote, offering, “I understand how you feel. It’s essential not to be too hard on yourself, as this will become a memory in time. The most crucial aspect is to enjoy your school life. Remember, there will be more opportunities for you to run for class president in the future.”

This live broadcast was a testament to the TXT maknae’s genuine connection with fans, showcasing his sweet, multifaceted personality and deep reflections. – K-Pop News Writer

SEVENTEEN’s Jun Shares More Stories From ‘Exclusive Fairytale’ Set

SEVENTEEN member Jun recently opened up about Exclusive Fairytale, the Chinese drama he did.

On the day filming began for Exclusive Fairytale, Jun was inundated with support from his fellow SEVENTEEN members. They sent him not one, not two, but a whopping twelve flower baskets. They didn’t stop there, though. SEVENTEEN is known for being extra, which is how they show their love for each other. “They gave me plenty of flowers and wrote a pile of stuff,” Jun reminisced with a chuckle.

Moving on to another heartwarming tale, he highlighted a particularly thoughtful gesture by Vernon, one of the group’s rappers. The shoes Jun wore during the booting ceremony of Exclusive Fairytale were, in fact, a gift from Vernon. 

Jun had once mentioned how he found those shoes appealing. To his surprise, Vernon bought them for him, remarking, “These will keep you company through this period.” (The period in question was Jun‘s filming stint in China.)

Jun shared another funny story

But it wasn’t all sweet moments. There were instances filled with playful teasing, especially when he watched part of Exclusive Fairytale with his members. During a particularly intimate scene, despite having makeup on, his ears and neck betrayed his embarrassment by turning a violent shade of red. 

Jun’s members didn’t miss the chance to pull his leg. “Why are you suddenly blushing?” they teased, to which he playfully responded, “Ling Chao did it, so it’s got nothing to do with me, right?”

Speaking of intimate scenes, Jun shared another funny story. When he kissed one of his co-stars in a previous drama he starred in, Joshua bought a cake to congratulate him. What was supposed to be a quick moment became a recurring joke among the members. “Such a small scene and our members laughed and joked about it for two to three years,” Jun shared, laughing at the memory. He added, “They’re going to laugh at me for a lifetime because of Exclusive Fairytale.”

Jun‘s journey during the filming of Exclusive Fairytale was marked by heartwarming gestures and light-hearted banter. Through these stories he shared with the media, CARATs got a glimpse of the close-knit bond shared by the SEVENTEEN members on and off the stage. – K-Pop News Writer

Peep the Expensive Birthday Gift TXT’s Taehyun Bought Hueningkai

When it comes to birthdays, the members of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) truly know how to celebrate in style. On the special day of their maknae Hueningkai, there were several notable items that caught the attention of MOAs everywhere.

First, in a video Taehyun posted, Hueningkai was seen clad in an Oversized Hoodie from Temporary Universe, priced at 198.00 USD (or 223,000 KRW). Made of heavyweight 100% cotton, it promises both comfort and longevity. It also features a kangaroo pocket, adding to its trendy design. Special prints grace both its front and back, with an embroidered logo taking center stage on the chest. 

The fabric’s unique pigment lends the hoodie a distinct look, which evolves with each wash, giving it a more natural, worn-in feel. However, this fabric requires gentle care, especially when stained, to avoid color loss. Proudly made in Korea, this hoodie is a blend of style and substance.

Headphones for Hueningkai

Next, there are the Artesia AMH-11 Studio Headphones, available for 49.95 USD (roughly 56,000 KRW). These headphones boast a vast dynamic range. Ideal for tasks like mixing and deep listening, their wired connectivity guarantees a consistent experience. With a 2-inch driver size, they ensure clear sound. 

Their specs include an impedance of 60 OHM and a sensitivity of 93db+/-3db. This allows them to manage a frequency response from 18Hz to 25kHz. These headphones are also lightweight. Clocking in at just eight ounces, they promise comfort and superior sound isolation, making them perfect for extended listening sessions.

Last, but definitely not the least

Finally, pièce de résistance: the ARTESIA Legacy A30 Electronic Drum Kit, which Taehyun bought for Hueningkai. (We couldn’t find conclusive proof that he also bought the headphones, but it’s safe to assume that they came with the drum kit.)

Priced at 799.00 USD (or about 900,000 KRW), this offers features that rival kits twice its price. Targeted at student players, it features multi-sensored 2-layered mesh head pads, 2-zone Hi Hat and Crash cymbal pads, and a 2-zone Ride Cymbal pad. With 30 preset kits, 10 user kits, USB audio and MIDI support, and a range of effects, it’s a comprehensive package for budding drummers. The kit’s pad sizes and the inclusion of a Bass Drum Pedal make it the top choice for both students and professionals.

Hueningkai‘s birthday gifts showcased a mix of style and music, reflecting his personal tastes and the special bond he has with his members, especially the talented and thoughtful Taehyun. – K-Pop News Writer

Lotte World to Hold ‘Dark Moon With ENHYPEN’ Festival

Lotte World, a renowned amusement park in Seoul, is set to captivate visitors with a unique event. On the 28th, the park unveiled its plans for the Dark Moon With ENHYPEN in Lotte World festival. Set to start on September 1, this event is a collaboration with BELIFT LAB artist ENHYPEN, and it will integrate the Dark Moon: Altar of the Moon webtoon IP.

For the duration of this festival, Magic Island, an outdoor amusement park inside Lotte World, will be transformed. Drawing inspiration from the Dark Moon: Altar of the Moon webtoon, the festival tells the story of seven boys. By day, they’re regular students at Decelis Academy. However, when night falls, they turn into vampire hunters. The story unfolds as they embark on a journey when the red Blood Moon appears over the Magic Castle.

This festival will break boundaries, merging the online world of the webtoon with the offline realm of the park. As visitors approach Magic Island, the Dark Moon Gate on the Overbridge greets them, marking the start of their adventure. Banners bearing the Decelis Academy logo and the seven boys adorn this bridge, creating an immersive experience.

The third floor of the Magic Castle will become the Decelis Party Room. Here, attendees may delve deeper into the stories of the seven boys and even snap photos with life-sized character standees. The Dark Moon Official Merch Popup Store-Decelis Academy Gift Shop on the first floor will have exclusive merch. Outside, a Dark Moon Photo Wall awaits, where visitors can step into the shoes of the webtoon’s protagonists.

‘Dark Moon’: An immersive experience

Every night, when the clock strikes 6:30 PM, the reddish Blood Moon will rise, setting the stage for the Dark Moon Castle mapping show. This visual spectacle will see the webtoon video projected onto the castle’s walls, accompanied by ENHYPEN‘s songs “One in a Billion” and “CRIMINAL LOVE.” 

For those seeking a more immersive experience, Lotte World offers limited edition packages that will allow them to rent Decelis Academy uniforms, among other things. Furthermore, in collaboration with SNOW, Lotte World will launch an augmented reality (AR) filter in September.

While Magic Island immerses visitors in this narrative, Adventure (a different part of Lotte World) will have the golden Super Moon. Photo zones, performances, and parades await, ensuring that the festival has something for everyone.

Now, tell us, are you excited for the ‘Dark Moon With ENHYPEN’ Festival? – K-Pop News Writer

Jessica’s continuous expansion in China

Jessica‘s new collaboration with Lancôme isn’t her only venture in China. Her fashion brand, BLANC & ECLARE, is witnessing expansion in the region.

China’s fashion market has surged, especially during the pandemic. While global spending on fashion witnessed a decline, China’s expenditure actually rose. Major conglomerates are making significant inroads into the Chinese market. Jessica’s continuous expansion in China aligns with this trend, and that bodes well for her brand and collaborations in the region. – K-Pop News Writer
