Following Billboard’s exclusive announcement of TITAN CONTENT’s “next-generation” K-pop act this summer, three new members of the highly anticipated girl group AtHeart have arrived for fans to get to know.
Meet Seohyeon, 16, from Korea, Katelyn, 17, from the Philippines, and Aurora, 15, from Japan, who join the previously introduced members Sorin and Michi, helping create a diverse ensemble poised for global appeal. The five future stars join AtHeart, which TITAN says will reveal their full lineup soon before debuting in early 2025.
With talent handpicked from global auditions this past January, TITAN emphasizes members’ personalities and musical abilities while allowing fans to familiarize themselves with each member via individual social media accounts — a rarity for K-pop artists in training. @seohyeonatheart, @katelynatheart, and @auroraatheart all launched today on Instagram and TikTok.

“Over the past year, the TITAN team has seen remarkable growth, assembling an all-star group of experts across various fields,” Dom Rodriguez, CBO at TITAN CONTENT, tells Billboard. “Our commitment to delivering exceptional music, creating a new paradigm for K-pop on the global stage, and pushing the boundaries of innovation remains stronger than ever. We’re thrilled about the incredible talent of the AtHeart members and are excited to show the world what they have been working on, so stay tuned!”
In a press statement, TITAN CONTENT CEO Katie Kang highlighted the new group members’ skills and teased AtHeart’s upcoming full lineup announcement.
“We are confident that AtHeart will lead the way into a new era of K-pop,” the former SM Entertainment manager and casting recruiter said. “Seohyun stands out with her captivating vocal tone and diverse range of exceptional talents. Katelyn was cast at the Manila global audition and has vibrant energy and a bright smile that brings joy to those around her, along with her singing and rapping abilities. Aurora, with her enchanting brown eyes, is full of bright, positive, and loving energy, just as her name suggests, and incredible vocal and dance skills…the full lineup is now complete, and we’ve been gradually unveiling the members since July with the remaining members to be announced very soon.”
TITAN’s Chief Visual Officer, Guiom Lee, says the newly revealed “Second Heart of AtHeart” concept video hints at the group’s style, sound, and potential number of members, noting the “visual and playful elements that are distinct from the first concept video. And speculating about how many members will be in the group adds another layer of excitement.”
Backed by former SM Entertainment CEO Nikki Semin Han alongside a creative team of international K-pop movers and shakers, TITAN CONTENT has positioned itself as the first major U.S.-based K-pop agency, aiming to introduce multiple groups and several solo acts by 2028. AtHeart’s 2025 launch kicks off a powerful new chapter for both TITAN and the global K-pop industry.

Is a new Doja Cat album on the way? A mysterious tweet is making fans think so!
The Grammy-winning star took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday evening (Nov. 11) to post and quickly delete what appears to be a track list. According to fans who took screenshots of the posts, the 13 songs include titles like “Break My Heart,” “Take Me Dancing,” “Anything,” “Ain’t News,” “Turn the Lights On,” “Slow Burn,” “Wood Holly” and “Appreciation.”
After deleting the track list, she sent out a series of cryptic tweets, including “ma vie mi vida mia vita” and “5 love languages.” Finally, she noted, “Songs are in no particular order. Starred my favorites.” The post is seemingly in reference to the song titles that were starred in the original deleted post, which included the tracks “Cards,” “Acts of Service,” “Make It Up,” “Did I Lie” and “Crack.”

She also shared a photo dump to Instagram captioned, “red 5,” potentially in reference to the upcoming fifth studio album. Among the pictures is a snap of her new foot tattoo, “Red” written in red ink.
Doja Cat’s last album Scarlet followed 2021’s hit-spawning Planet Her. The project was released in September 2023 and reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and hit No. 2 on the Top Rap Albums chart. She also dropped Scarlet 2 CLAUDE deluxe edition in May.

Mariah Carey thinks that she and Olivia Rodrigo might belong together.
In a new interview with BuzzFeed, the legendary vocalist played with puppies while answering questions about her forthcoming music, her most underrated song and wanting to get in the studio with the 21-year-old pop star — something she says “could be fun.”
When asked which artist she’d most like to work with in the video posted Tuesday (Nov. 12), Carey began, “I think it could be fun to collaborate with Olivia Rodrigo.”
“My daughter is a really big fan, and we went to her concert — that was great,” the Songbird Supreme said. “But I know she’s not working for the rest of the year. That’s what I heard.”

The interview comes nearly four months after Carey and her twins — Moroccan and Monroe — went to see Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour concert in Atlanta. Backstage, the “Vampire” singer met with the family and gifted Monroe with a signed T-shirt reading, “Roe, all my love!”
Afterward, Carey posted photos from the meet-up and wrote, “We are OBSESSED with @oliviarodrigo” — a reference to both musicians’ hit songs of the same name. Rodrigo commented, “ur the absolute greatest!!! thank u sm for coming.”
Elsewhere in the BuzzFeed interview, Carey revealed which of her own tracks she thinks is the most underrated: “Probably this song called ‘Clown’ from Charmbracelet,” she said. “Just because, not everybody knows it, and I like that song. I think it’s clever and pretty.”
To the superstar’s point, “Clown” never charted on the Billboard Hot 100 — unlike 49 of her other tracks, 19 of which have hit No. 1 on the chart. Charmbracelet, Carey’s ninth studio album, reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Carey hasn’t released a proper studio album since 2018’s Caution. However — in addition to kicking off her holiday tour in California Nov. 6 — the singer has confirmed that she’s working on new music, which she also touched on in the new interview. “I’m working on some new music, and I’m vey excited about it,” she said. “Now I just gotta get the time to do it.”
