Entertainment confirmed Tuesday that the band will drop a new album sometime in August.

Kim Ye-ji found fame as a musician through the survival show “The Voice of Korea” in 2020. Last year, the singer became the center of attention when she introduced herself by singing Bishop Briggs’ “River” on the audition program “Super Band 2.” People know her as a rock vocalist with short hair and a signature winged eyeliner look who makes great cover songs. But this time, the singer made her way onto the music charts with her first EP, “Turned

As the season has changed from the springtime blooms to bright summer, singer-songwriter Jeong Sewoon has welcomed the transition with his fifth EP, “Where is my Garden!” released Wednesday evening. This is the soloist’s first release since “24 Part 2,” which was put out in January 2021. In a press conference Wednesday, the singer described his latest album as “an album that sings the hopes that the youth carry.” The titular garden is Jeong’

Wearing black from head to toe, Park Hyeon-jin’s first impression was different from that of the energizing songs he’s known for. But in person, his chic, aloof appearance gives way, becoming bright and animated as he speaks about his music and trying to touch people’s emotions with his tunes, where words alone can’t. The 16-year-old is a new face on hip-hop label H1ghr Music’s roster, but despite his age he has been in and out of the public eye since winning s

  Amid frenzied hype, Hybe’s first-ever girl group Le Sserafim finally made their official debut and stepped into the spotlight on Monday evening with the release of their five-song package “Fearless.” The six-member group threw their glitzy hats into the ring under Source Music, an affiliate label of Hybe, as the first all-female act launched by the multi-label entertainment company. Among the six members, there are four Korean members -- Chae-won, Yun-jin, Garam, and

  Fan chants, sing-alongs and clapping were absent during the past two years due to the pandemic. But the boisterous noise of crowds and chants by concert-goers filled the Jamsil Indoor Stadium Sunday night as K-pop sensation Stray Kids took the stage for its second world tour “Maniac” in Seoul. Sunday’s concert was a jam-packed three-hour event. The eight members performed 23 songs and prepared four encore performances to satisfy their fans. The setlist was composed of

As fan chants and sing-alongs are back at K-pop concerts, Stray Kids is proving once again its worldwide popularity – selling out its US shows so fast that its label added extra shows in Los Angeles and Newark, New Jersey. The band‘s agency JYP Entertainment said Monday that it has added two more North American dates to its second world tour, dubbed “Maniac,“ which will kick off in Seoul this week. The announcement came after the band‘s tickets for shows in seve

As the spring season breathes fresh hope to the world and signals new beginnings, Miyeon of girl group (G)I-dle took a step forward by dropping her first-ever solo album, “MY,” released on Tuesday evening. In a press conference Tuesday, the singer-turned-main vocalist described her latest release as an “album that shows who Miyeon is.” “The album’s title ‘MY’ is the initial of my name ‘Miyeon,’ and it also translates into the term

Perhaps because songs in the spring season can cheer listeners, remind them of romance, or even welcome new beginnings, singer-songwriter Yoon Ji-sung has made his way back to the music scene each time the cherry blossoms have bloomed. This year is no exception, with his 3rd EP, “Maze,” set to be released Wednesday evening. It is his first release in nearly a year. His previous work “Temperature of Love,” was released last April, and since then he has joined a new ag

As an LP stores long-playing records of a musician, boy band Verivery took a chance to broaden the group’s musical horizons by dropping “Series O (Round 3: Whole),” released Monday evening. It’s the first full-length album since the seven-piece act debuted in 2019. This marks a quick return, just about a month since the group dropped the digital single “Series O (Round 0: Who)” on March 23. When asked how it feels to now have put out an LP, Yong-seung sai

A week after boy band Seventeen surprised fans with a new song, the band’s agency Pledis Entertainment said Friday that the K-pop sensation is currently gearing up to make a return on May 27. The K-pop act signaled its return by posting a teaser image on social media, sending fans into a frenzy about the much-anticipated comeback.

After years of rumors that the band is preparing a new project or might even reunite, the now-disbanded 2NE1 sent fans abuzz with a special appearance at Coachella. On Saturday, the group took over the main stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held in Indio, California.

Less than a year since the group’s debut, rookie boy band Just B hopped onto the April music craze with its second EP, “Just Begun,” which is to be released Thursday evening. This marks a return from the sextet nearly six months after its previous work, “Just Beat,” released in October. It’s unusual for a rookie band to be away for months, since they must get their name out to the public. But it took the sextet six months to add value to their musical caree
