They're another potential group from SM with strong vocals.

With each teaser that SM Entertainment has put out about their new K-Pop boy group, RIIZE, interest has been building for the members.

There's still a lot we don't know about the group and its members, like what roles they'll all play and what kind of idea they'll have. However, their first album, Get A Guitar, will be out on September 4.

We also haven't heard much of their singing yet, other than what Sungchan and Shotaro did as members of NCT.

But a new movie that has been posted online shows how good the group's vocal line could be.

The song "Someday" by IU is played on the guitar by one member of the group while the others sing along.

SM Entertainment is known for having stars with great voices, and RIIZE doesn't look like it will be an exception based on how well they're harmonizing in this short clip.

When the clip was posted on social media, people were quick to praise their music.

The video was also talked about on an online forum, where a lot of netizens had mostly good things to say about the talents of the RIIZE members.

Are you excited for SM Entertainment to start a new K-Pop boy group?

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
