After Paris Fashion Weekâs Fall/Winter 2023 menswear shows brought members from BTS, SEVENTEEN, NCT and more representing South Korea, the following week of haute couture shows did not disappoint with its K-pop star power.
Things began strong on Jan. 23 as BLACKPINKâs Jisoo made her return to Paris Fashion Week to attend the Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 show. An ambassador for the fashion house since 2019, Jisoo channeled Hollywood icon Aubrey Hepburn with an elegant updo and bangs to accompany her sophisticated white dress. The starlet sat next to Christian Dior CEO Delphine Arnault at the show that included guests like Anna Wintour, Anya Taylor-Joy and Korean actor Lee Suhyeok.
That same Monday saw BTSâ Suga make his Fashion Week debut at the Valentino Couture Spring 2023 show, marking his first appearance supporting the Italian luxury fashion house since being named a brand ambassador this year. The star-studded show saw Suga stylishly draped in a flowy tan and peach suit, seated front row alongside the likes of Kylie Minogue, Sam Smith, Doja Cat and BTSâ âDream Glowâ collaborator Charli XCX.
PFW regular G-Dragon got a fun surprise at the Chanel Haute Couture Spring Summer 2023 show, where he reunited with Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton, whom he first met in 2015 for couture week in Paris. All eyes were on the BIGBANG leader with his chic layered suit at the Chanel show that also had Anna Wintour, Baz Luhrmann and Roger Federer in the front row.
Elsewhere, KARDâs BM and K-R&B star GEMINI continued their tour of fashion week with stops at the Jean Paul Gaultier and Zadig & Voltaire shows, respectively, after being spotted at menswear shows.

From declarative album titles like Epik High Is Here and Weâve Done Something Wonderful to the more conceptual Shoebox and [e], Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz of Epik High have always been intentional in a multifaceted way with their record titles.
The hip-hop trioâs latest project leans toward the latter for the group to deliver a new sound that speaks to a fresh mindset and return to their roots as musicians after releasing their debut album 20 years ago.
âWe like strawberry representing the album because itâs sweet and fresh, which is what we wanted to do at the beginning of our 20th anniversary,â explains group leader Tablo. âWe thought that people would expect some music that is reminiscing and weighed down by the years, and we wanted to go against that expectation and just create something that sounds like three guys that just decided to create a group together. But strawberries are interesting because theyâre so fragile; you can smash them up with your thumb but, somehow, theyâll stain on your table perfectly fine. And it reminds me of blood when itâs squished. So, thereâs a little bit of pain in that sweetness. I think that thatâs what Epik High is.â
Despite opening and closing the new Strawberry EP with, as they describe, âEpik High-ishâ lo-fi tracks, the EP boasts some of the groupâs most mass-appealing tracks in years inside: the knocking, melancholy hip-hop cut âOn My Wayâ with Chinese K-pop star Jackson Wang, the disco-tinged âCatchâ is smoothed out by a perfect feature from Hwa Sa of girl group MAMAMOO, plus an explicit, relatable freestyle from Tablo examines the online and real-life chaos of 2023. While Epik High has toured their brand of Korean hip-hop tour across the globe and scored multiples across Billboardâs World Albums and World Digital Songs chart, Strawberry is intentionally described as a âglobal albumâ by the band to share their current mindset.
âTechnically speaking, all our albums have been global, but not by choice, right?â muses Tablo. âK-pop and Korean music became a global thing even though it wasnât ever a global release. But as a result, the audience for our albums has grown wider. And hereâs how I approach progressing as a musician: I donât think of myself as leading the way and my audience has to follow where I goâI will make music in the way that I wantâbut I believe that as my audience grows geographically and Iâm flying there to perform for them, I want them in the center of my mind and my heart when Iâm creating music. Before, I would create the music and the musicâs audience grew. Now, that audience is affecting the way I create music as well, like, theyâre in my mind when I make musicâŚI think more because of COVID; I think how the entire globe is sharing the same fears and inspirations and hopes and dreams. We were just made more aware of it and, as a result, I think with this album, itâs just a mindset thingâcalling it a âglobal albumâ because thereâs no real difference to how weâre releasing it; weâre just saying that because we want to remind ourselves that we are now speaking to people all over the world and we want them to know that we care about them.â
Despite Epik High intending for last Februaryâs release of Epik High Is Here to be their final album, the trio naturally found themselves creating music again after career highlights like returning for their second Coachella performance and surrounding themselves with other musicians.
âSo we actually did decide internally that Epik High Is Here would sort of be the last album,â Tablo explains. âEpik High Is Here Part 2 ends with âChampagne,â which is sort of going back to the very first song on our first album [âGoâ on Map of the Human Soul]. Itâs like the curtain call. We were like, âWeâve made so many albums and I donât think thereâs anything we can really say. So, letâs continue to be Epik High and perform, but Iâm not sure if we should ever make an album again. It was like a collective decision. What happened wasâŚdamn it, Coachella kind of inspired us again. We were like, âOh my God⌒â
Tablo says California continued to inspire the band despite their professional promises: âWe just assumed that maybe weâll release one single in October 2023 when it actually becomes 20 years, but nothing else. And then we were in LA for some festival, we just had like a week in L.A. but only one show so we had all this time. Being who we are, we ended up with a lot of musicians just making music and ended up with a ton of songs. We were like, âWhat do we do with these songs? We promised each other that we wouldnât release an album,â and then Tukutz was like, âThis isnât actually an album if weâre releasing three to five songs. Technically, itâs just a project.â And Iâm like, âYouâre right. We did say we will never release another studio-length album so weâre not breaking that promiseâŚyet.â And we justified it to ourselves, hence, this situation.â
Let Epik High break down their new album/project/situation Strawberry below, track by track:
When TOMORROW X TOGETHER unveiled the first visuals for their Billboard 200 No. 1âcontending album The Name Chapter: Temptation, the K-pop boy band quickly set the Internet ablaze with the dreamy, skin-baring set of photos and videos. Even if the groupâs millions of fans and followers arenât similarly preparing for fantastical photo shoots and TV performances on the regular, the quintet is honest about the relatable mindset to push towards their goals and showcase why TXT is increasingly earning its title as âK-popâs voice of Gen Z.â

When discussing The Name Chapter: Temptation, TOMORROW X TOGETHERâs Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and HueningKai donât differentiate when speaking about the ways diet, idleness and exercise affect their lives as both musicians and everyday people. At just 20 years old, youngest member HueningKai describing resisting certain meals as âa war against foodâ may be an essential part of his K-pop experience but also a battle that everyone fights from time to time. Taehyun mentioning âthe temptation of lazinessâ may be more top of mind for a schedule-packed starlet, but who hasnât had a morning of hitting the snooze button an extraordinary amount of times?
TOMORROW X TOGETHER donât preach to rise above vices, nor do they try to appear as if they donât fall to temptations themselves, but instead bring these shared experiences to life through more outstanding creative contributions (like âHappy Foolsâ with Coi Leray) and the most impressive choreography of their careers (watch âDevil by the Windowâ and new single âSugar Rush Rideâ). The guys emphasize that not only are their lived experiences inside The Name Chapter: Temptation, but the front-to-back listening experience previews the next page in their story, which is sure to continue this deeper look into these five engaging, empathetic superstars.
Read on for Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and HueningKaiâs reflections on their latest EP, new goals, favorite songs and more.
Congratulations on the new music, TOMORROW X TOGETHER! What are you most looking forward to starting this new chapter?
TAEHYUN: What I look forward to the most is the reaction of our fans when the music first releases. When we are preparing for the album release right now and thatâs the time when we can most feel that âOh, we are finally releasing the albumâ feeling.
Your album titles The Dream Chapter and Chaos Chapter give obvious hints about where the music will go, but The Name Chapter is a little more open-ended. Can you explain it?Â
TAEHYUN: We always talk about growth. Weâve talked about friendship for The Dream Chapter, and some love being broken in our Chaos Chapter. And, finally, we arrived at The Name Chapter and you know you have to grow up but sometimes you donât want to yet. Thatâs what this EP is about: Youâre tempted to stay in âNeverlandâ because itâs sweet and youâre young and free. But at the end of this album, you say âFarewell, Neverlandâ because you know you have to go, so you have to go.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER always put your stories into your albums. How do you relate and fit with what you just described?
TAEHYUN: The overarching theme of this album is âtemptation.â And I think that we come across many temptations from different places as we grow. The track that Iâve felt like itâs really our story is the third track âHappy Fools.â We all contributed in making this track and it talks about a story of how we fall into the temptation of laziness. YEONJUN did a beautiful job top lining the song, and all five of us contributed to the lyrics writing so it truly became our song.
What does the new single âSugar Rush Rideâ represent in your story?
HUENINGKAI: I think this song really incorporates our overarching theme of this album, which is temptation, really well. So it talks about a temptation of a sugar rush, which is irresistible and very, very sweet. So, I think it represents our refreshing, dreamlike and even sexy charms.
SOOBIN: Itâs not only about an experience that we have, but I think itâs an experience that everyone has. So, I think everyone can resonate with the song too.
âSugar Rush Rideâ has the lyric, âThe devil said, âGimme, gimme more’â and you have the âDevil by the Windowâ song. With the albumâs theme, what temptations do you battle in your lives?
HUENINGKAI: I think the temptation that you come across in everyday life is diet. So, when you go on a diet, you canât really resist the temptation of food. Itâs basically a war against food. So, I think thatâs the strongest and scariest temptation we can ever come across.
YEONJUN: I agree.
You guys always look great and the Internet went wild with your concept photos. Did you do anything specific to prepare for those, either mentally or physically?
YEONJUN: Yeah, I worked out almost every day.
Tell us more about the visuals for this album: You have âDaydream,â âNightmare,â âFarewell,â and âLullabyâ concept photos.
TAEHYUN: I can basically explain our concept photo that it has different concepts and, I think, theyâre basically in a chronological order. In âDaydream,â we depict how we fall into the temptation and how happy and pleased we are falling into the temptation. For âNightmare,â we express how we recognize that we have fallen into the temptation and try to fight off the temptation. In âFarewell,â we finally overcome the temptation and take one step further away from the temptation.
You always emphasize wanting to grow with every album release. In what ways do you feel like you grew with this new album?
HUENINGKAI: Every time we release a new album, we give a try to new and various genres. And of course, for this album as well, we gave a try to many new genres. So it was our first time trying Afropop genre, which is a pretty difficult genre but I think everyone did a very good job in recording âTinnitus (Wanna Be a Rock)â and we wrapped that up pretty nicely. And other than the songs, I think the concept photoâwise, it was our first time trying that concept of a âdreamlikeâ concept, but every member did a good job pulling off that concept.
Whatâs everyoneâs favorite track on the album?
TAEHYUN: Thatâs my favorite today, âTinnitus (Wanna Be a Rock).â
HUENINGKAI: I would choose âFarewell, Neverland,â the last track.
YEONJUN: Iâll choose âHappy Fools.â
SOOBIN: Iâm the same with HUENINGKAI, the last track, âFarewell, Neverland.â
BEOMGYU: I will choose âHappy Foolsâ too.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER has hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200. I have a really good feeling about this album, but do you have any new goals, hopes or dreams this time?
HUENINGKAI: Of course, to perform at the bigger stages and perform at the AMAs.
YEONJUN: Attending [American Music Awards] was a really good experience, but next time we want to perform.
TAEHYUN: We also want to build and strengthen our color. We want people to listen to our music and think, âHey, thatâs TXT and that was awesome.â
What else do you want to emphasize to fans with this release?
TAEHYUN: Fans want spoilers and hints every time we release a new album. And I want to tell our fans that if you listen to the tracks from Number One to Number Five, in order, then you can get a hint for our next album.

Alongside the concerts, the GRAMMY Museum will host a stage throughout three days on the expo floor, promising special performances and Q&A panels with the festival performers open to all attendees. Each artist panel will include âhi-touchâ meet-and-greets with the artists for qualifying ticket holders.
The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles has hosted conversations and live performances from a range of Asian and Asian American talent in its years of public events, featuring BTS, Steve Aoki, Tiger JK, Yoonmirae, Lang Lang, Amber Liu, Lay Zhang, ATEEZ, Woosung, ENHYPEN and more.
In a press release, We Bridge also promises to bring attendees âwhat is now, new, and next in Asian music, media, art, and fashion.â
The destination event comes via Infinite Prospects Entertainment, the production and management company focused on bridging Asian media with western culture in the States, with the support of MGM Resorts International.
Previously, the two companies joined forces for a coordinated, city-wide celebration for BTSâ record-setting string of sold-out shows at Allegiant Stadium last April that included pop-up shops, Bellagio Fountains performances, and Vegasâ top attractions all glowing in the bandâs signature color purple.
âIâm honored to be bringing a celebration of Asian culture to Las Vegas, one of the most culturally blended cities and entertainment capitals in the world,â says Alex Kang, CEO of Infinite Prospects Entertainment. âWith the rise in Asian entertainment into mainstream prominence, we wanted to bring more awareness and access to artists, talent, and brands within our community. We are excited to have K-pop at the forefront of We Bridgeâs music showcase this year as the industryâs impact and popularity continue to grow. We see this as our humble beginning and have a vision of building an even bigger stage that is widely representative of all Asian talent.â
Adds Chris Baldizan, MGM Resortsâ executive vice president of entertainment: âK-pop has quickly become a global phenomenon which Las Vegas experienced first-hand last year with BTSâ incredible sold-out concerts. The We Bridge event gives us another opportunity to partner with Alex Kang and his team to deliver multicultural experiences of music, media, art and fashion to the destination.â
Meanwhile, the Grammy Museum says its involvement honors its goal to connect music genres and diverse backgrounds just like millions will see at this weekendâs upcoming Grammy Awards on Feb. 5.
âOur mission includes paying tribute to our collective musical heritage while also celebrating the dynamic connection in peopleâs diverse backgrounds and musicâs many genres,â says Michael Sticka, president/CEO of the Grammy Museum. âWe look forward to celebrating Asian entertainment and culture by bringing our renowned public programming to the We Bridge stage.â
We Bridge Music Festival and Expo comes to Las Vegas from April 21-23 with tickets and packages on sale now. More information will be announced soon, including additional talent, ticket sales and programming details.

Last fall, NCT 127 teased the possibility of a deluxe repackaging of their 2 Baddies album by telling Billboard to âlook forward to being surprised by something unexpected.â Four months after the LP earned the K-pop boy band their second top 3 entry on the Billboard 200, the group unveils their Ay-Yo â The 4th Album Repackage album with three new songs, including the sleek title track single.

While NCT 127âs previous title track â2 Baddiesâ seized listenersâ attention with its unrelenting chant chorus, the groupâs latest takes a much more subtle approach with looping beats, delicate piano accents, and a surging, synthesizer-led chorus. Like they teased last year, the guys themselves also bring out unexpected musical moments in âAy-Yo,â like when the silky-voiced vocalist Jaehyun kicks off the second verse with a rap section.
The accompanying music video is a mash of surprise delights too. Members like Doyoung and Jaehyun serve their best James Bonds with slick black outfits among a backdrop reminiscent of inside a pistol barrel as made famous in the 007 movies.
Meanwhile, leader Taeyong pulls off what will be one of 2023âs most shocking hairstyles with punky, pointy spikes that fans have found reminiscent of NCT label mates and K-pop pioneers TVXQ! and Super Junior.
In between the release of 2 Baddies and Ay-Yo, NCT 127 released a music video for their b-side â1, 2, 7 (Time Stops)â and held concerts in North America, Asia and Latin America as part of their Neo City â The Link world tour. The guys only wrapped their last show on Jan. 28 at Mexico Cityâs Palacio de los Deportes arena before dropping this new LP that includes its title track, the previously teased âDJâ plus hip-hop/pop hybrid âSkyscraper.âÂ
Watch Taeyong, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Taeil, Mark, Yuta, Johnny, Jungwoo and Haechan in âAy-Yoâ below.
A day before TOMORROW X TOGETHER unleashed their new The Name Chapter: Temptation EP and officially kickstarted a new musical era, the K-pop boy band met with reporters both in-person in Korea and virtually around the world via a global media showcase on Jan. 26. In the hourlong press conference that included the first look at TXTâs new single, music video and stage performance, youngest member HUENINGKAI shared the groupâs bold plan to âwork hard to make 2023 the year of TXT.â With their most robust music output in monthsânot to mention the groupâs highest amount of album pre-orders ever hinting at a high Billboard 200 debutâThe Name Chapter: Temptation has already set TXT in motion to make that dream a reality.
With six entries on the Billboard 200 (the most of any K-pop group other than their BIGHIT MUSIC labelmates BTS), TOMORROW X TOGETHER have shown how their stylized storytelling targeted for their Generation Z is consistently connecting. But the quintet share that Temptation EP was particularly intentional for including the groupâs own stories. The group said HYBE founder Bang Shi-Hyuk (who contributed to two of the EPâs five tracks, including the new single âSugar Rush Rideâ) encouraged them to take a heavier hand on certain songs this time to bring their own stories and lyrics. Not only do SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN and HUENINGKAI all boast writing credits, YEONJUN crafted melodies for one of the standout b-side tracks âHappy Fools,â marking his first melody contribution for a TXT album. âIt made me so proud,â the 23-year-old remarked, âIt was rewarding. It inspired me to write even more.â
With a slew of new genres explored, a significant crossover collaboration alongside Coi Leray and some of their career-best lyrics, The Name Chapter: Temptation is starting an excellent year and new music chapter for TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Read on for Billboardâs ranking of the new tracks.
J-Hope unveiled the first look at his upcoming documentary J-Hope IN THE BOX on Thursday.
âThe start of this project?â the K-pop idol asks as the 30-second clip starts. âPeople in the world donât know what kind of music J-Hope of BTS makes⌠I come out of the box and I want to welcome the larger world.â
The documentary promises to follow the BTS rapper through the release of his debut solo album Jack in the Box, including his historic, headlining performance at Lollapalooza 2022 last August. All of his BTS bandmates make an appearance in the trailer as well, posing for a photos together as J-Hopeâs single âArsonâ plays over the scene.
J-Hope IN THE BOX is set to premiere on Weverse and Disney+ around the world on Feb. 17, though ARMY and other fans will be able to start pre-ordering the music film one week earlier on Feb. 10.
Upon its release last summer, the old-school hip-hop-leaning studio set â which was preceded by lead single âMoreâ â landed at No. 5 on Billboardâs Top Album Sales chart and also scored J-Hope a top 20 hit on the Billboard 200 at No. 17.
At the time, the rapper confessed to NME that he was âa bit worried at first, because the Jack in the Box album contains my story and what I really wanted to doâŚIâm very grateful and feel motivated. So, for those who supported my music, I want to try many different things with my music, and show them all going forward.â
Since then, heâs performed a medley of Jack in the Box tracks at the 2022 MAMA Awards, appeared on New Yearâs Rockinâ Eve to ring in the new year and most recently sat front row with Jimin at Paris Fashion Week.
Watch the teaser for J-Hopeâs IN THE BOX documentary below.
