Seoul-based band HYUKOH and Taipei-based band Sunset Rollercoaster have joined forces to offer a special treat for their fans, and are set to release their forthcoming collaborative album, titled 'AAA'. Kicking off this collaboration is the pre-release single, "Young Man" which is out now along with its official music video.

"Young Man" explores the uncertainty of the future and the struggles of survival after youth, juxtaposed against an optimistic melody that showcases the coordinated talents of all 10 members without redundancy, leaving listeners to experience the unified music of a cohesive team.

The cheerful SF-like music video is another treat. It features all members from both bands and JNKYRD, a team member of the project and a close friend of the band. It was directed by Pennacky, who is well-known for his music video works like Balming Tiger’s “SEXY NUKIM” and RM of BTS' “Groin”.

A casual chat in 2020 seemingly foretold the collaboration between the Seoul-based and Taipei-based bands. It led to musical collaborations like Sunset Rollercoaster’s remake version of “Help” from HYUKOH’s album, 'through love', and OHHYUK’s feature on the Sunset Rollercoaster track “Candlelight” from their album, 'Soft Storm'. When Sunset Rollercoaster visited Seoul for a headline show in March 2023, the audience spotted HYUKOH members at the show, which took the anticipation of a collaboration of the two bands to another level.

'AAA' marks the first album release for both bands in four years. It blends HYUKOH’s rich ensemble of musicians with frontman OHHYUK's incomparable vocals, complemented by Sunset Rollercoaster’s melodic romance that reminisces the warm climate of Taipei and their poetic lyrics admired by fans across the globe.

With the release of the new single "Young Man", the full 'AAA' project which encapsulates the chemistry of both teams will soon be unveiled. The currently undisclosed details will be gradually revealed on the project’s website, madeinaaa.com.

After months of anticipation, the two youngest members of BTS, Jimin and Jung Kook, return to the spotlight in Are You Sure?! an all-new travel reality show coming August 8, exclusively to Disney+ Hotstar.

“From the very beginning, I was you. I was always a part of you,” the monster within Hyun-su (Song Kang) eerily declares in the tension-filled trailer for Sweet Home: Season 3, leaving audiences wondering which version of Hyun-su will prevail, and to what end. 

In the third and final season of the iconic Korean monsterisation saga, humans, monsters, and neohumans prepare for the ultimate showdown. The main poster captures the clash between Hyun-su and Sang-wook (Lee Jin-uk) amid a wrecked stadium engulfed in flames. Once allies, their paths diverged in the second season and now lead to a final face-off. 

The trailer shows a glimpse of intense action between Hyun-su and Eun-hyeok (Lee Do-hyun) immediately after they are reunited. Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young) opens her eyes again after being consumed by a monster, while Eun-yu (Ko Min-si) and Chan-young (Jinyoung) desperately fight for survival. Meanwhile, Tak In-hwan (Yoo Oh-seong), Dr. Lim (Oh Jung-se), Kim Yeong-hu (Kim Moo-yeol), and Kid (Kim Sia) continue their individual journeys, each facing new battles. 

Director Lee Eung-bok says, “There is a variety of characters, so I hope viewers will root for their favorite ones as they all fight in their own ways, from the battle between Sang-wook — who has turned evil — and Hyun-su, who longs to preserve his humanity; Yi-kyung, who fights to protect Kid; and Sergeant Tak, who feels responsible for the survivors’ safety.” 

Don’t miss the thrilling conclusion to the Sweet Home series, premiering 19 July, only on Netflix. 

LEE YOUNGJI recently released her highly-anticipated debut album, “16 Fantasy”, on 21 June 2024. The title track, “Small Girl,” featuring EXO’s D.O., has become a chart-topping hit in South Korea, with its music video racking up over 10 million views on YouTube within days of its release. The song showcases a charming contrast to LEE YOUNGJI’s usual bold and assertive style, blending her distinctive husky vocals with a pleasant melody. With her undeniable talent, captivating stage presence, and willingness to push boundaries, LEE YOUNGJI’s musical journey is just beginning. She is poised to become a dominant force in Korean hip-hop and beyond.

The boys of NCT Dream are back in Singapore for <THE DREAM SHOW 3 : DREAM()SCAPE>! On 29 – 30 June 2024, NCTzens, the fandom’s name, could be seen in mostly neon green as they excitedly bustled into Singapore Indoor Stadium. Members Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Chenle, Jaemin and Jisung gifted fans a weekend filled with spectacular performances! 

Member Renjun is currently on hiatus, and is unable to participate in the tour.

NCT Dream kickstarted the show with an all-time high with songs like ‘BOX’, ‘119’, ‘SOS’ and ‘GO’. Jaemin and Jeno weren’t afraid to show some skin, as they wore outfits that revealed their chiseled cores. 

After showcasing their sexy and mysterious auras, NCT Dream was ready to greet Singapore NCTzens.

Mark: “Who’s seeing NCT Dream for the first time?”

Jeno (replying to fans raising hands): “Nice to meet you!”

During Jisung’s introduction, Jaemin hilariously cuts in, “Jisung, I don’t want to bother you, but I forgot something… my name is Jaemin!” His interruption sent fans into a burst of laughter.

“Safety is the most important! Especially the fans closest to us (referring to the standing pens). Raise your hands if you need help,” caring Haechan also showed concern for fans.

“Sadly I couldn’t be here last year, so I’ll work twice as hard tonight to make up for it!” Chenle expressed.

The boys then continued the show with ‘Poison’ and ‘Drippin’.

After the first VCR, Dreamies (an affectionate term for the members) returned to the stage in uniforms. They performed cute numbers like ‘Arcade’, ‘We Go Up’ and ‘Bungee’, which were reminiscent of their earlier days.

For the second ment, Mark asked fans a question that they’ve been asking at their tour stops:

“Do you like NCT Dream when we’re at our cutest, or sexiest? Seems like these days we get a lot of sexy~”

Some members even did their personalized versions of sexy!

Jaemin fans, this is for you 🙂‍↕️#NCTDREAM #THEDREAMSHOW3 #NCTDREAM_THEDREAMSHOW3 #THEDREAMSHOW3INSG #TDS3inSG pic.twitter.com/qnppC0SIg2

Before heading backstage for a change of outfits, they took things slower with a couple of ballads - ‘Walk With You’, ‘Never Goodbye’, ‘Breathing’ and ‘Unknown’.

The next segment was somewhat food-themed consisting of titles like ‘Tangerine Love’, ‘Yoghurt Shake’, and ‘Pretzel’. Of course, NCT Dream can’t miss out the viral hit that brought their popularity to the next level - ‘Candy’! Coupled with their most colourful outfits, this performance arguably gathered the loudest cheers from NCTzens.

Unsurprisingly, "Candy" got the loudest cheers from NCTzens 🍬 Were you singing and dancing along too?#NCTDREAM #THEDREAMSHOW3 #NCTDREAM_THEDREAMSHOW3 #THEDREAMSHOW3INSG #TDS3inSG pic.twitter.com/OFdv1WDuYJ

“I see a lot of you dancing and having fun! But this is just the beginning,” Mark spoke. He also praised that Singapore had the best ‘NCTzen Wave’, complete with a local expression ‘swee la’!

Also changing their outerwear onstage, Dreamies sent fans screaming whenever the screen focused on their arms. 

 

“You guys are making this more than what it is…” Mark commented bashfully.

The party showed no signs of slowing down - NCT Dream slid into the next round with an impressive continuous medley: ‘Dream Run’, ‘Better Than Gold’, ‘Fireflies’, ‘Hello Future’ and ‘Broken Melodies’. Actively moving around the stage to interact with fans while performing, the members proved their stamina and experience as an almost 8-year group in the industry.

Following their final VCR, the boys once again rocked the stage with ‘Skateboard’, ‘ISTJ’ and their latest comeback, ‘Smoothie’. Fan slogans were then featured on screen, ranging from witty to sweet ones that included Renjun.

Renjun, you're much missed 💚#NCTDREAM #THEDREAMSHOW3 #NCTDREAM_THEDREAMSHOW3 #THEDREAMSHOW3INSG #TDS3inSG pic.twitter.com/RJ88lPkBhE

The members then appeared onstage for what seems to be a classic encore; decked in merch tees and cartoon headbands. With Jisung and Haechan even in cute robes, they continued embodying the youthful concept that they do best with ‘Dive Into You’ and ‘ANL’.

Jeno: “Thank you so much for jumping around and having fun with us!” 

Haechan: “We’ll be back as a 7 next time!”

Mark: “You guys proved a point tonight. I really enjoy chilli crab in Singapore… but it cannot be my favourite, because you guys are.” 

Mark: I really enjoy chilli crab in Singapore.. but it cannot be my favourite, because you are 👉 *points at NCTzens*

Just when we thought Mark can't get any sweeter 🥹#NCTDREAM #THEDREAMSHOW3 #NCTDREAM_THEDREAMSHOW3 #THEDREAMSHOW3INSG #TDS3inSG pic.twitter.com/5eUIlFMt5i

Mark’s saccharine words melted all the hearts of Singapore NCTzens! 

Dreamies rounded up the night with ‘Like We Just Met’.

Throughout the 3-hour show, the S.M Entertainment group left fans thoroughly immersed, never leaving a bored moment. Even during VCRs, NCTzens were kept entertained with lightsticks changing colours according to what the scenes were depicting. Their voices of awe could be heard whenever the lightsticks lit up. Bringing fans through an engaging storyline and various concepts, <THE DREAM SHOW 3> has perfectly illustrated NCT Dream’s growing years. 

We’d like to express our thanks to Live Nation Singapore for the invitation.
