Legendary group KARA is set for a comeback in July.

RBW, KARA's agency, revealed on the 18th, "KARA will release a new song next month and is poised to continue their reign as 'Hallyu Queens'."

This comeback follows their special album 'MOVE AGAIN' released in November 2022, celebrating their 15th anniversary. The group demonstrated their resilience with 'MOVE AGAIN', generating significant buzz.

Their title track 'WHEN I MOVE' immediately topped major Korean music streaming platforms upon release and also clinched 1st place on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank'.

This marked KARA as the first 2nd generation girl group to achieve music show wins spanning the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.

Renowned as 'Hallyu Queens', KARA not only featured on Japan's prestigious music program 'Music Station' but also saw 'WHEN I MOVE' named 'Best K-pop Song of 2022' by Billboard USA, highlighting their global impact.

With this successful comeback, KARA will reunite with fans worldwide on their 17th debut anniversary, poised to write another significant chapter in K-pop history.

In July, KARA will drop their new song domestically and stage a full group concert titled 'KARASIA' in Tokyo and Osaka in August.

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.
