Get ready for a house music extravaganza! SHINee’s Key (from SM Entertainment) is about to drop his new mini-album, Pleasure Shop, and it’s set to showcase a variety of house music’s charms.

Key's third mini-album, Pleasure Shop, will hit music platforms on September 23 at 6 PM KST, featuring six tracks that dive deep into the house genre. With the title track "Pleasure Shop" leading the way, the album promises to highlight Key’s sophisticated musical style.

One standout track, "Overthink," combines repetitive synth arpeggios with rhythmic kick sounds, creating an addictive melody. The lyrics cleverly address the overwhelming flood of thoughts, likening it to a virtual world that needs a pause.

Another gem on the album is "Golden," a dance-pop delight within the house genre. It features lively nylon guitar, organ, and synthesizer sounds that set a romantic, sparkling mood, celebrating the moments of youth.

Then there's "I Know," which offers a retro house vibe with its rich layers of bass, bright synth chords, and cheerful snap sounds. The lyrics craft a narrative about the speaker's ability to mesmerize others, adding depth to the album’s storytelling.

Teaser images dropped on September 10 through SHINee's official SNS channels give fans a glimpse of Key as the 'cyborg owner,' a nod to the mood sampler for "Pleasure Shop." His futuristic, sci-fi movie-inspired look has fans buzzing with excitement.

Mark your calendars for September 23, when Pleasure Shop will also be available as a physical album. Pre-orders are already live at both online and offline music stores.

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.
