K-POP representative visual idols will be on stage at the '2021 The Fact Music Awards'.

On September 2, the organizing committee of 'THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA)' announced, "ASTRO, ENHYPEN, and STAYC will be attending 2021 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS "

ASTRO, a six members boy group with superior visuals and refreshing charm, was invited to the 'The Fact Music Awards' for the first time since their debut. ASTRO released their 2nd regular album 'All Yours' and 8th mini-album 'SWITCH ON' in April and August of this year, respectively.

ASTRO, who had the pleasure of climbing to the top of the Japanese Oricon weekly album chart with their 2nd regular album, is having the best year with their 8th mini-album, winning 4 music shows, 3 Gaon charts, and 1st place in the Oricon overseas album rankings in a row.

Enhyphen, who joined the '2020 The Fact Music Awards' lineup after 12 days of their official debut, will attend the 'The Fact Music Awards' twice in a row.  Enhyphen, who rose as a '4th generation hot icon' at the same time as their debut, achieved record sales of 520,000 copies within five days of release with their second mini-album 'BORDER: CARNIVAL' released in April.

Meanwhile, STAYC who received attention for their unrivaled visuals and solid skills will also make their first scramble at the 'The Fact Music Awards'. Even though it was 10 months after their debut, STAYC grew into a '4th generation representative girl group' with their debut song 'SO BAD' and the second single title song 'ASAP' in succession.

In particular, it is showing a trending trend, such as being selected in the rookie female idol category at the '2021 Brand Customer Loyalty Grand Prize'. On September 6, their first mini-album 'STEREOTYPE' will be released and the steep rise will continue.

Starting with BTS, Super Junior, Hwang Chi-yeol, Seventeen, Oh My Girl, Brave Girls, ITZY, The Boyz, Stray Kids, ATEEZ, followed by Astro, N Hyphen, and Stacey, a luxurious artist lineup. Expectations for the '2021 The Fact Music Awards', which are being built, are increasing.

The '2021 The Fact Music Awards' will be held on-tact on October 2. To prevent the spread of COVID19 and for the safety of all cast, staff and fans specific information regarding the awards ceremony will be revealed later through the newly opened '2021 The Fact Music Awards' official website.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
