Taeyong: "There was a time when this busyness felt like pure torture. I wanted to run away. Even now I'm still driving myself that hard. But instead of 'I want to give up,' now I think 'I can do it all.'" "Those negative thoughts gradually faded away. I can keep getting stronger, all because of you." Which idol's honesty about burnout has stuck with you the most?

LISA's new EP PRESS PLAY is out today via LLOUD and RCA. Six tracks, all solo, no features. Tracklist: 1. SaWaDiKa 2. V12 3. Cobra 4. Tarantino 5. Cut U Off 6. Sweat Her description of the concept: the EP follows "my journey from my roots to where I am right now today," with Thai elements running through it. Each song is its own character, and together they play "like a movie. So you just press play." That's where the title comes from. Lead single SaWaDiKa dropped Sept 3. Rap-led, heavy bass, shot in Bangkok with Muay Thai and tuk-tuk visuals. Debuted at #69 on the Hot 100. Produced by Thom Bridges and Ojivolta, vocal production by Kuk Harrell. LISA co-wrote it. Second single Tarantino went heavy on percussion. Credits for the other four tracks aren't out yet. This is her first project since Alter Ego (2025), and the first full release since her Always LALISA documentary came out Oct 12. Next month she becomes the first K-pop artist with a Las Vegas residency: six nights at Caesars Palace, Nov 12–14 and 27–29. The original four shows sold out in under 10 minutes. SaWaDiKa peaked at #69. Does a PRESS PLAY track crack the Hot 100 top 40 this year? 🎬

Danielle's lawyers just used ADOR's own argument against them in court. ADOR said the court appraiser is a "normal person" outside the industry, so he can't separate Min Hee-jin's effect on NewJeans' revenue. Then, asked whether they're suing Danielle for the group's damages or her share alone, ADOR said the expert evaluation would decide. Danielle's team: if the appraiser is a normal person, he can't make that distinction either. So ADOR should state it. Who wins this one in court? Come share your take on KkachiVal.

Lee Soo Man says he's "fully aware" of the concerns about 13- and 14-year-olds in A2O LITE and A2O SOUL, and that he'll "do his best." K-pop has debuted teens for decades, but 13 is young even by industry standards. Is there an age that should be the line? Come share your take on KkachiVal.

BOYNEXTDOOR's Myung Jaehyun addressed the controversy over his message about Lee Kwangsoo on a Weverse live (Oct 21). "My real intent was purely because I think he's just so incredibly cool… What's wrong is still wrong. I really should apologize." He said he'd be more careful going forward, and many netizens are praising how quickly he owned it. #MyungJaehyun #BOYNEXTDOOR
