The pair moves to the countryside to start a new chapter in their lives, encountering various people and chaotic situations that teach them profound lessons about life.

We haven’t had a Korean comeback from IVE since January, but their Rebel Heart has remained on Korean charts since then and new mega-hit hit single Golden (from the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack) has been widely compared to IVE’s past hits. In other words, the group hasn’t exactly been absent from public consciousness. Now, they’re back with Japanese single Be Alright. IVE’s last J-pop single was released about a year ago and leaned heavily into their pop side. Be Alright takes a similar approach, offering sugary sweet melodies over buoyant rhythm guitar and an energetic beat. It’s quite straightforward, content…

“S LINE” has unveiled a new poster featuring Lee Soo Hyuk, Lee Da Hee, and OH MY GIRL’s Arin! Based on the webtoon of the same name, “S LINE” is a fantasy thriller in which red lines suddenly appear above people’s heads, connecting them to people with whom they have had physical relationships and thus revealing sensitive personal information overnight. This red line is called the “S Line” and can only be seen but not physically touched. Lee Soo Hyuk plays Ji Wook, a detective who is simultaneously investigating a murder case and the secret behind the S Line. Lee…

Just a day after her fellow Sistar member Hyolyn released a new single, Soyou is back with new music of her own. Two summers ago, she carried on Sistar’s sonic legacy with the excellent Aloha, but like Hyolyn she’s decided to explore different summer sounds with PDA. PDA feels much more indebted to the early 2000s in the way so much recent K-pop has been. Its sprightly beat has that familiar ‘Neptunes meet Jersey club’ sound, hitting softly even as the tempo remains brisk. It’s a production that could have backdropped so many recent K-pop singles, making it amorphous when…

“Omniscient Reader” has shared behind-the-scenes production details and concept art for the film! Based on the popular web novel of the same name, “Omniscient Reader” will tell the story of Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), who suddenly finds himself living in the world of a fantasy novel he was reading. Armed with the knowledge of what happened in the novel, Kim Dok Ja sets out to save the world from ending. Lee Min Ho stars as Yoo Joong Hyuk, the protagonist from the novel that Kim Dok Ja read. The most significant element in the film is, without a…

Throughout their career, Purple Kiss have waffled between sounds and concepts with varied success. Their music hasn’t quite caught on in the way I would have thought despite the group being very talented. This uncertain vibe carries through to new single DOREMI, which feels like their least notable release yet. DOREMI is a stately mid-tempo, underlined by trap beats and featuring melodies that swirl around the track with more heft than most of their contemporaries. As I often say when it comes to mid-tempos, melody and production are key. You’re not getting a thrilling dance beat to keep you engaged,…
