There’s never a dull moment in the world of K-pop and this week was no exception. The final week of October was a momentous one with new releases from Twice, CL, TXT and Winner’s Mino, plus the announcement of SM Entertainment’s new girl group Aespa. It also saw some groups, including WayV, having Halloween fun, and the BTS members connecting with their Army fans via virtual postcards.
Here’s a round-up of this week’s big K-pop news.
CL is back
The Baddest Female made her return with two singles, 5 Star and HWA. It’s her first new music since last year’s In The Name of Love EP, which featured tracks made over the years but not released while she was with her former management company, YG Entertainment.
After the release of the singles and a performance on the American television programme The Late Late Show with James Corden, CL also announced her first album “Alpha”, set to arrive on November 30.
Twice revive the ’80s
With Tron-like motorcycles in the music video and sleek synths permeating the track, Twice’s latest single I Can’t Stop Me is all about those ’80s vibes.
