• SHINee's Key Reveals the Diverse Allure of House Music with New Mini-Album 'Pleasure Shop'

    Get ready for a house music extravaganza! SHINee’s Key (from SM Entertainment) is about to drop his new mini-album, Pleasure Shop, and it’s set to showcase a variety of house music’s charms.

    Key's third mini-album, Pleasure Shop, will hit music platforms on September 23 at 6 PM KST, featuring six tracks that dive deep into the house genre. With the title track "Pleasure Shop" leading the way, the album promises to highlight Key’s sophisticated musical style.

    One standout track, "Overthink," combines repetitive synth arpeggios with rhythmic kick sounds, creating an addictive melody. The lyrics cleverly address the overwhelming flood of thoughts, likening it to a virtual world that needs a pause.

    Another gem on the album is "Golden," a dance-pop delight within the house genre. It features lively nylon guitar, organ, and synthesizer sounds that set a romantic, sparkling mood, celebrating the moments of youth.

    Then there's "I Know," which offers a retro house vibe with its rich layers of bass, bright synth chords, and cheerful snap sounds. The lyrics craft a narrative about the speaker's ability to mesmerize others, adding depth to the album’s storytelling.

    Teaser images dropped on September 10 through SHINee's official SNS channels give fans a glimpse of Key as the 'cyborg owner,' a nod to the mood sampler for "Pleasure Shop." His futuristic, sci-fi movie-inspired look has fans buzzing with excitement.

    Mark your calendars for September 23, when Pleasure Shop will also be available as a physical album. Pre-orders are already live at both online and offline music stores.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
