NCT’s Chenle, Jaemin, and Renjun Spark Curiosity for Comeback With Unusual Teasers

As NCT DREAM’s comeback date draws near, fans have been clamoring for spoilers to get a glimpse of what the group has in store. Chenle and Renjun responded to these requests in a manner that was both amusing and bewildering, sharing photos that sparked more questions than answers.

On his Instagram, Chenle posted a photo of his right foot, bruised and bandaged, captioning it with a coy “Spoiler 😏🤟🏽.” The post quickly attracted attention, including humorous responses from fellow NCT members Kun and Mark, who were just as puzzled by the peculiar teaser.

Renjun followed suit. He posted a photo of both his feet, similarly bruised and bandaged. His post came with the intriguing caption, “But I’m gonna run..🦋.”

Days later, Jaemin did the same thing. He created an Instagram carousel comprising eight photos. The first was a photo of—you guessed it—his injured feet. These unusual teasers have added an air of mystery around their upcoming album, [DREAM( )SCAPE], set to drop on March 25. The title track “Smoothie” will be accompanied by five B-sides: “i cant feel anything,” “Box,” “Carat Cake,” “Unknown,” and “Breathing.”

NCT DREAM will impress fans

The group also released a schedule poster for the EP. It features a black and white butterfly stitched onto fabric with red thread.

A new film teaser that hints at eerie mysteries and captivating storylines followed suit. In this latest teaser, member Jisung is depicted navigating a surreal, dystopian system.

Adding to the excitement, NCT DREAM announced their third world tour, THE DREAM SHOW 3, starting in Seoul from May 2 through 4. The Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo stops will be a Japanese dome tour.

The cryptic nature of the posts by Chenle and Renjun has left fans both amused and intrigued. NCTzens worldwide are now wondering if these feet pics have a deeper meaning behind them. But whether they hint at the intense preparations for their comeback and tour, or if they play into the upcoming album’s themes, one thing is certain: NCT DREAM will impress fans worldwide with their latest project. – K-Pop News Writer

LE SSERAFIM Enters US Billboard Hot 100 for the First Time With ‘EASY’

LE SSERAFIM has officially entered the Billboard Hot 100 with their new single, “EASY.” This marks a major milestone for the South Korean girl group. The quintet, whose name is an anagram of “I’m fearless,” includes members Hong Eunchae, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha, Kim Chaewon, and Sakura. “EASY” debuted at No. 99 on the Billboard Hot 100. It secured 5.2 million official streams and 1,000 downloads sold in the U.S. during its first full tracking week (Feb. 23-29), according to Luminate.

The song was released as part of their new five-track EP of the same name. It also made an impressive entrance at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned. This achievement comes as TWICE’s With YOU – the EP enters at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It marks the very first week that two all-female K-pop groups made the top 10 at the same time. “EASY” also debuted at No. 2 on both the World Albums and Top Album Sales charts. Meanwhile, the title track surged to No. 6 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. This represents the group’s second, and highest-charting, top 10 entry.

Signed to Source Music/Geffen Records/IGA, LE SSERAFIM notched its first Billboard chart entry on May 14, 2022. That was the day “FEARLESS” debuted on the Global Excl. U.S. and the Billboard Global 200 charts. To date, the quintet has charted seven songs each on the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. and five on World Digital Song Sales.

LE SSERAFIM (르세라핌) ‘EASY’ Dance Practice (Moving ver.)

Congratulations, LE SSERAFIM!

The group has also tallied three entries on the World Albums chart: ANTIFRAGILE (No. 1 in November 2022), UNFORGIVEN (its debut full-length LP; No. 1 in May 2023), and now EASY.

While the group has faced severe criticism in South Korea for their poor live singing during music show encores, this latest feather in their cap may shut up the haters once and for all. It’s not easy to crack the Billboard Hot 100 as the U.S. music market is extremely competitive. The fact that they did it bodes well for their future as a group outside of their Japanese and Korean promotions.

Congratulations, girls! – K-Pop News Writer

All You Need to Know About V’s New Digital Single ‘FRI(END)S’

Just six months after BTS’s V delighted fans with his debut solo album Layover, the “Slow Dancing” singer is preparing to release a new digital single titled “FRI(END)S.” V and his agency, BigHit Music, teased the track on social media before formally announcing it on March 3. They revealed not only the song’s title but also its release date of March 15 at 1:00 PM KST.

“FRI(END)S” combines elements of pop, R&B, and soul. It offers a relatable and witty take on romance. According to a press release from BigHit Music, “V’s digital single ‘FRI(END)S’ is a sweet ‘confession song’ that complements the pink spring. It starts off warmly like buds sprouting on a spring day and gradually intensifies with the flow of emotions.”

Fans can’t wait for the full version of the song

BigHit Music released the first teaser of “FRI(END)S” on BTS’s official SNS at 12:00 MN KST on March 10. The 35-second clip shows V grabbing leftover takeout from the fridge and eating it alone. It then cuts to a chaotic scene at a movie theater and another where V is all alone in a crowded diner, surrounded by happy couples. As the video consists of scenes from the “FRI(END)S” music video, it also includes a snippet of the song that plays towards the end of the video. The sweet melody, combined with V’s enchanting falsetto, leaves a deep impression. It heightens anticipation for the story V will tell with the full version of the song.

Both sets of concept photos released show V striking various poses all by himself. Fans can view the full set of concept photos on BTS’s Instagram. BigHit Music has promised more to come. This includes a “flash video” that captures the single’s overall mood. It’s scheduled for release on March 11 and will be followed by another music video teaser on March 12.

The song is written entirely in English

Adding to the anticipation, Riley McDonough, known for co-writing Joji’s “Glimpse of Us,” contributed to the lyrics of “FRI(END)S,” which are written entirely in English. The songwriter revealed his involvement in V’s upcoming release through his Instagram Stories. He even tagged the BTS member’s personal account. Connor McDonough, Riley’s older brother (and frequent collaborator), spread the word further by reposting his brother’s story on his own Instagram account.

Riley’s musical journey has evolved significantly over the years. Initially gaining recognition with the pop band Before You Exit, he has since focused on collaborating with different artists. His achievements underscore his knack for creating hits. “Glimpse of Us,” for example, not only hit No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also dominated the Global and US Spotify charts. Riley’s songwriting resume includes contributions to tracks like “Cold As Ice” by Ava Max, “Go Down Together” by Dove Cameron and Khalid, “Red Flags” by Mimi Webb, and “Wonder Woman” by John Legend. His involvement in “FRI(END)S” suggests that V’s new single will benefit from Riley’s proven talent for crafting compelling music.

V hinted at the release of ‘FRI(END)S’

In September 2023, V released Layover, featuring singles such as “Love Me Again,” “Rainy Days,” and “Slow Dancing.” With all seven BTS members having joined the South Korean military, the group is expected to be on hiatus until 2025.

Before beginning his service, V hinted that fans can expect more content from him even as he serves in the 2nd Corps of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army. “Within 18 months, I’ve prepared a lot of things. Please look forward to it,” V wrote in December 2023. “I’ll really miss you. I love you so much.” – K-Pop Life

TAP hit No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums charts in countries including Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, and the United States. Overall, TAP went to No. 1 in 33 countries worldwide, including unexpected territories like Belarus, Finland, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

TAEYONG 태용 ‘TAP’ MV

Taeyong expressed his gratitude

Since he debuted in 2016, Taeyong has been a lyricist for his groups NCT, NCT 127, and SuperM, accustomed to collaborating with other songwriters. However, for TAP, he chose to write all the lyrics by himself, working closely with a select group of three producers: Royal Dive, Squar, and Zayson. He clearly poured everything he had into the words he wrote, which is most likely why the album and its title track are so successful. Listeners can tell when something comes from the heart.

In response to the overwhelming success of TAP and its title track, Taeyong expressed his gratitude on Instagram Stories. He made special mention of the title track’s latest achievement: making it to MelOn‘s Top 100 chart. Sharing a heartfelt message on February 28, Taeyong thanked the fans for their support.

tripleS to Release Their First 24-Member Album in May

Girl group tripleS is gearing up to launch their first-ever album as a complete 24-member ensemble, dubbed ASSEMBLE24. Slated to drop in May, this album signifies the beginning of full-group activities for the girls. Girl groups with more than 10 members are a rarity in K-pop, making tripleS’s ambitious endeavor a topic of much discussion and excitement. 

With this upcoming release, tripleS is poised to claim the title of the girl group with the largest number of members in K-pop history. Leader’S, a girl group from 2011, planned to expand to 24 members. But they never managed to do it. Until now, the record was shared by i-13, who debuted in 2005, and Cosmic Girls (WJSN), who started in 2016. They each had 13 members. While i-13 is no longer active, WJSN is still promoting as a 10-member group after losing their three Chinese members.

MODHAUS, the agency behind tripleS, has adopted a unique approach by forming units, or “dimensions,” through fan-voting events on their official app, COSMO. This interactive process allows fans to use voting tokens called COMOs to directly influence the group’s activities. Since their first unit, Acid Angel from Asia, debuted in October 2022, tripleS has introduced other units, including Aria, EVOLution, LOVElution, and +(KR)ystal Eyes. Each unit features different combinations of members.

Rookie of the Year in 2023 Hanteo Music Awards! Thank you WAV♥ | EN | SIGNAL 240221

There’s no telling how far tripleS can go

To date, 20 members have been introduced through unique content, including Yoon Seo-yeon, Jung Hye-rin, Lee Ji-woo, Kim Chae-yeon, Kim Yu-yeon, Kim Su-min, Kim Na-kyung, Gong Yu-bin, Kaede, Seo Da-hyun, Kotone, Kwak Yeon-ji, Nien, Park So-hyun, Shin Wi, and Mayu. The remaining four members are expected to be introduced to fans before ASSEMBLE24’s album drops. This approach has not only heightened anticipation but also fostered a deep connection between the members and their fans, known as the WAV (Wave).

The album’s title track was chosen through a fan-voting event that began on February 17. Eight songs battled it out to be the title track of ASSEMBLE24’s first-ever album. Ultimately, “Girls Never Die” won with 88,857 COMOs, out of the grand total of 227,221 COMOs cast by fans worldwide.

tripleS’s journey has already been marked by significant achievements. First, they nabbed the rookie award at the 2023 MAMA Awards in November last year. On the 18th, they attended the 2023 Hanteo Music Awards 2023 at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Jung-gu, Seoul, where they won another rookie award. Anticipation is building for what tripleS will achieve next. With so many talented girls in their ranks, there’s no telling how far this group can go. – K-Pop News Writer
