NCT WISH is riding high with their first mini-album Steady!

Set to release on September 24 at 6 PM, the mini-album will also feature the music video for the title track "Steady," available on the SMTOWN YouTube channel.

As of September 23, the album has already surpassed 800,000 pre-orders, smashing their previous record of 630,000 for the Korean and Japanese versions of "Songbird." This showcases NCT WISH's amazing growth!

The title track "Steady" is a dance song blending house, UK garage, and Jersey club beats with a stylish melody. It captures the pure wish to keep a special relationship forever in a lively and open way, fitting their title as "the icon of Gen Z" and highlighting their unique charm.

Alongside "Steady," the album includes six more songs: "Dunk Shot," "3 Minutes," "On & On," "Supercute," "Skate," and the Korean version of their pre-debut song "Hands Up," all reflecting a vibrant "refreshing & neo" style.

To celebrate the release, NCT WISH will hold a showcase on September 24 at 8 PM at the Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Yongsan, Seoul, where they will perform "Steady" live for the first time. Fans can watch the event online via the YouTube and Weverse NCT WISH channels, as well as TikTok.

Physical copies of Steady will also be available starting on the 24th.

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.
