BTOB is back with a heartwarming ballad that is sure to become a favorite this autumn! The group, featuring Seo Eunkwang, Lee Min Hyuk, Lim Hyun Sik, and Peniel, will release their new pre-release track, "Burning Ember (Please Stay)," from the BECOMING PROJECT on various music streaming platforms at 6 PM on October 31st.

"Burning Ember (Please Stay)" captures the feeling of longing for a loved one and the uncertainty of whether to love again, much like a 'burning ember.' The song has a beautiful band sound that highlights the group's emotional depth.

Lee Min Hyuk and Lim Hyun Sik played a big role in writing and composing the song, while Peniel contributed his rap skills, perfectly showcasing BTOB's unique musical style and heartfelt emotions. The lyrics, "Even when soaked in sadness, it doesn’t extinguish; my ember is still alive," reflect BTOB's intent to create a ballad that shines brighter through overcoming sadness.

The BECOMING PROJECT marks the first collaboration among BTOB members under BTOB Company, with 'BECOMING' cleverly representing the group's name. It symbolizes how each piece of the project comes together to create a complete album.

This project also shows that the members, who have shared their individual talents through solo and unit activities, will continue to convey BTOB's special emotional vibe. After "Burning Ember (Please Stay)," fans can look forward to more digital singles in November and December, with a final album set to be released in 2025, wrapping up the BECOMING PROJECT.

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.
