Dropped on May 19, Essence of Reverie features R&B-esque slow jam songs such as “Elevator” and “Chocolate.” The album was received well, and the charts prove it too.
On the Billboard charts following the release, Baekhyun claimed the No. 1 spot on the Emerging Artists chart, ranked No. 4 on Top Album Sales, No. 35 on the Artist 100, and made a notable debut at No. 121 on Billboard 200.
Baekhyun began his career as the main vocalist of EXO, a South Korean boy band currently consisting of nine members. In July 2019, Baekhyun dropped his first solo release, City Lights, an album full of jazzy R&B hits, cementing him as one of the great vocalists in the K-pop sphere. Since then, the singer has worked to drop four more albums, including Delight, Bambi and Hello World, along with his work as a member of EXO.

A documentary about pop superstar LISA is currently in production.
The film was announced Thursday (May 29) during a Los Angeles event previewing forthcoming projects by Sony Music Vision.
Created in partnership with LLOUD CO./RCA Records and Tremolo Productions, the film will follow a year in the life of LISA, as she takes time away from BLACKPINK to pursue her own solo career.
The doc is being directed by Sue Kim, whose recent work includes A24’s award-winning documentary The Last of the Sea Women and the Netflix documentary short The Speed Cubers, which was nominated for Critics Choice and Peabody awards and was shortlisted for an Academy Award. Kim was also an executive producer on the docuseries K-Pop Idols.
“Following LISA on this transformative and thrilling year has been a true honor and a cinematic gift,” Kim says in a statement. “There have been so many moments on her journey that I think will surprise people and give a glimpse into her world that no one’s ever seen before. I’m excited for viewers to watch the film and witness this extraordinary moment in her life.”
“This has been such an incredible year, and I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to capture these special moments on film and share the experience with my fans,” LISA adds. “Working with Sue Kim has been such a joy. We’ve been all around the world together and I know this is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come.”

Thursday’s event debuted clips of the LISA film, including her 2025 debut solo performance at Coachella and her at home in Thailand. During a conversation about the doc, Kim revealed that the film will focus on showing the superstar in her offstage moments.
The event also included previews of forthcoming documentaries on Barbra Streisand, Oasis and Elvis Presley, with director Baz Luhrman taking part in a conversation on the Elvis doc, the follow-up to his 2022 feature film ELVIS.
The new documentary is called EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Speaking on the film, Luhrmann said that “During the making of ELVIS, we went on a search for rumored unseen footage from the iconic 1970s concert films Elvis: That’s The Way It Is and Elvis on Tour. My initial thought was that we may be able to restore the unused footage (if we could find it) and use it in our Elvis feature, starring Austin Butler.
“I had researchers go into the Warners Bros. film vaults buried in underground salt mines and, to the astonishment of all, we uncovered 68 boxes of film negative, as well as unseen 8mm footage,” the acclaimed director continues. “It has taken two years to restore the footage to a quality that it has never been projected at previously, while the team had to meticulously claw back sound from the many, unconventional sources that were also unearthed. One of the great finds has been unheard recordings of Elvis talking about his life and his music. It was this that gave the inspiration for EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert.
Luhrman adds that the film is “not specifically a documentary, nor a concert film: Elvis takes the audience through the journey of his life, weaving never-before-seen footage with iconic performances that have never been presented in this way, from the 1970 Vegas show, on tour in 1972 and even precious moments of the 1957 ‘gold jacket; performance in Hawaii. Most importantly, Elvis will sing and tell you about his life in first person, through both classic and contemporary musical prisms.”

As one of the biggest pop stars in the world, ROSÉ can’t exactly walk around in public without being recognized — not without a little creativity, at least.
In a Dazed cover story published Thursday (May 29), the BLACKPINK star opened up about a time she disguised herself as an old lady, just so she could walk around for a little while without fans knowing it was her. The getup was elaborate, with ROSÉ hiring a professional team to deck her out with prosthetic wrinkles and a gray wig.
“It was really, really intense,” she told the publication, noting that the fear of being caught in the costume ultimately outweighed the freedom it brought her. “I don’t think I’ll ever do that again.”

Even so, the K-pop star says that experiencing life as a regular person, even if only for a little bit, still calls to her. “What does freedom look like to me?” she mused in the interview. “Freedom means being anonymous.”
ROSÉ also said that she misses “not having to be terrified of small things” and “not having to be the annoying person in the room full of my friends who is paranoid about something, when I want to be very nonchalant and chill, but I have to be careful about everything.”
“Even if I’m not doing anything wrong, I have to think, ‘What if this makes people think that I’m doing something wrong?’” she continued, adding that her fame means she’s always grappling with the “fear of being misunderstood.”
The New Zealand native’s thoughts on celebrity and anonymity come at a time when she’s more famous than ever. In addition to being one-fourth of what is arguably the biggest girl group in the world, ROSÉ also recently elevated her superstar status by dropping her debut solo album, Rosie, in December. The LP featured smash hit “APT.” featuring Bruno Mars, which spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200.
She’s now gearing up to regroup with LISA, JENNIE and JISOO as BLACKPINK plans to reunite this summer, embarking on a world tour that kicks off in July. ROSÉ didn’t say much about the upcoming comeback, but she did tell Dazed, “Each of us has gone out and been inspired and learned so much about ourselves, and now we’re coming back to each other with good energy.”
As for her own ambitions, the “Number One Girl” singer opened up about wanting to win a Grammy someday. “That would be incredible,” she said. “But I think if it means more to my community, it’d be special. That’s the first thing that I want, and whatever awards or celebration comes after it, that would feel extra rewarding.”
