(G)I-DLE took the top spot on 'Inkigayo' without even appearing on the show.

On the August 25th episode of SBS's 'Inkigayo,' the top contenders for the week were (G)I-DLE's "Klaxon," NewJeans' "How Sweet," and KISS OF LIFE's "Sticky."

In the end, (G)I-DLE won first place with "Klaxon," even though their promotions for the song had already ended.

"Klaxon" is a lively summer track filled with strings, brass, and rhythmic guitar, and its lyrics mimic the sound of a car horn.

The episode also featured several exciting comeback performances. Taemin hit the stage with "Sexy In The Air," one of the title tracks from his latest mini-album ETERNAL, which dropped on August 19th. His performance was powerful and full of energy.

"Sexy In The Air" blends genres like trap, boom bap, and drill, with a strong synth bass and electric guitar that highlights themes of self-identity and the desire for change.

Moonbyul from MAMAMOO also made a sparkling return with her new song "Is This Love?" This retro pop track stands out with its catchy beat and synth sound, perfectly capturing the feeling of falling in love. The chorus adds an extra burst of energy, making it even more addictive.

Other performers of the night included SF9, Super Junior's Sungmin, who returned as a trot singer, NMIXX, DRIPPIN, and many more, keeping the audience entertained.

The full lineup for this episode of 'Inkigayo' featured performances by DRIPPIN, LIGHTSUM, LUN8, Moonbyul, BLACKSWAN, Sungmin, ILY:1, ARrC, SF9, NMIXX, MCND, UNIS, Taemin, fromis_9, and HYOLYN.

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.
