BTOB's Seo Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Im Hyunsik, and Peniel are set to release a new song that will warm up the year-end season.

On the 20th, their agency, BTOB Company, officially announced the release of the second song "Be Alright" from BTOB's BECOMING PROJECT, along with the promotion schedule.

The promotional image depicts a house lit up by bright lights on a snowy night, with white snow gently covering the trees and creating a picturesque, cozy year-end atmosphere, which raises anticipation for the new song.

According to the promotion schedule, individual concept photos will be released on the 21st, group concept photos on the 22nd, and a live clip teaser on the 24th, all building excitement for the comeback.

"Be Alright" is a year-end healing song blending BTOB's sweet harmonies and sincere emotions. It delivers a message of hope, conveying that even through struggles and sadness, one can smile as long as there are people to stand by them.

The BECOMING PROJECT is the first project featuring BTOB Company’s four members—Seo Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Im Hyunsik, and Peniel. The name BECOMING (shortened to BECOM) signifies the process of their works coming together as one album, while showing that the members, who have showcased their individual charms through solo and unit activities, will continue to carry on BTOB's unique emotional style.

Following the pre-release track "불씨 (Please Stay)" last month, the second song, "Be Alright," will be released on the 25th. A new digital single will also be released in December, and in 2025, a final album combining all the songs will be released to complete the BECOMING PROJECT.

The second song of the BECOMING PROJECT, "Be Alright," will be available at 6 PM on the 25th through various music streaming sites.

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.
