Ji-Kook doesn’t know if we’re ready for what we are about to see, SEVENTEEN’s WOOZI snaps back to people saying they use AI, and Jin is thankful for his Paris experience. Here’s three things you need to know in K-Pop. Though SEVENTEEN’s epic video for “MAESTRO” played with the concept of AI and technology, one of the members and songwriter of the group said ‘no’ on their songs. After a BBC story said they used artificial intelligence in the creative process, WOOZI posted to IG saying, “All of SEVENTEEN’s music is written and composed by human creators.” And their entertainment label backed him up saying, “It is not true that AI was used in SEVENTEEN’s song lyrics, and we have conveyed our position to the foreign media outlets that reported on this to correct the content.” BBC added an editor’s note. Jin of BTS was South Korea’s official representative in the Paris 2024 Olympic torch relay, the 31-year-old K-pop star was beside himself with excitement. In a statement he said: “I was able to take on the honorable role of a torchbearer thanks to the support of ARMY. I am truly grateful. I was so nervous to the point of not knowing how the time passed, but I was able to do my best thanks to the many people who loudly cheered me on.” And Jin we will always do so. Jimin & Jung Kook are coming to Disney+ in a new travel show August 9th and today they walked to ARMY about the adventurous details. We are not ready! Okay, yes we are.

Peso Pluma:
And this is the real secret to living the fine life. It’s that perfect mix between family, friends, good music and a dish that takes you to those moments.

What’s up guys? I’m Peso Pluma, and I’m going to tell you how to live the fine life. I believe the fine life is to enjoy, and in my free time, I like to be at the beach. I like drinking a nice cold beer. My favorite beach is Cancun, and the perfect day is being with my friends, listening to music. A dip in the water to cool off, or at least I try.

And after being in the water, a soccer match in the sand is a must. But in the end, the most important thing is to recharge creative energy and connect with myself. What I enjoy the most when I’m watching a soccer match is when the fans of each team start singing because it reminds me a lot of when I was a kid and used to go to the stadium with my dad to watch my favorite team.

Soccer is something that’s truly felt, especially when you watch your team win and you become part of it. I get that same feeling with video games. I always have a good time playing video games, Laughing with my friends, too. Enjoying the moment right?
