• CL to officially release her single 'SPICY' on August 24

    The first single from CL's first full-length album 'ALPHA' has been partially unveiled.

    The title of this new song is 'SPICY', and CL raised expectations by releasing a music video teaser video.

    At 6pm KST on August 19th, the first music video teaser video of 'SPICY', which was released on CL's official SNS channel, showed CL and several dancers standing together with a huge LED with unique patterns in the background. Then, the title of this single was revealed as the letters 'SPICY', which had an impressive metallic design, were completed and disappeared.

    The intense beat flowing in the background of the teaser video foretells that this 'SPICY' will be a hip-hop song that will capture CL's unique charisma like 'Bad Girl' and 'Hello Bitches'.

    'SPICY', like the first single from 'ALPHA', was made by great actor John Malkovich and added a special touch.

    The words 'ENERGY', 'POWER', and 'CHEMISTRY' heard at the beginning of the teaser video are also part of the narration that John Malkovich participated in this 'SPICY'.

    John Malkovich, who made a relationship with CL through the movie 'Mile22', has continued to maintain a good relationship as a mentor by giving advice to CL. It is rumored that the narration of this new song also willingly participated in CL's request.

    CL's first single 'SPICY' is finally unveiling after a long wait.

    In addition, CL will release the second single of 'ALPHA' in September, starting with 'SPICY' this time, and the entire 'ALPHA' album in October.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Secretly Helped Her Friend Get a Role? Choi Hee Jin Reveals How Their Friendship Led to a Cameo in ‘Newtopia’

    Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

    Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

    The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

    The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

    “Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

    She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

    The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

    Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

    “Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

    Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
