Plave

Now, IVE is set to release a pre-release track on October 19th, ahead of their new mini-album, Looks Can Kill, dropping on October 26th.

They'll be joining a stacked lineup of comebacks next month, going head-to-head with artists like Kickflip, NCT Wish, Plave, Enemix, Jonghan and Joshua, Re-Ease, and ELIT, making October one seriously competitive month for K-pop releases.

New From The Boys is officially starting a new chapter, and this time he's going solo in more ways than one.

His new agency, Only New Entertainment, announced on the 28th that they've signed an exclusive contract with the idol, sharing fresh profile photos to mark the occasion.

This marks their first domestic comeback in about six months, following the strong showing of their previous release, Caligo Part 2, back in April.

In the meantime, Plave has been busy internationally, releasing a Japanese single called Flame in collaboration with singer-songwriter Millette and continuing their very first world tour, Keep It Manic, which is taking them across Asia to cities like Kanagawa, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, Taipei and Macau.

With a Los Angeles stop also on the calendar for mid-November.

Pre-orders for the new album open today, with the digital release landing October 12th and the physical album following just one day later on the 13th.

So I just heard about the Melon Music Awards 2026, and wow, the lineup is intriguing.

PLAVE, RIIZE, NCTWISH, Alpha Drive One, and LNJSHOT.

Right, it's a fresh mix.

PLAVE and RIIZE are really making waves lately.

I'm curious how they'll perform together.

What do you think?

which brings us to the next award for the biggest animated reaction hit.

Now, this was a very close one between Plave, Killing Voice, which was really, really cool, a really fun reaction, but the winner is Rumi and Jinwoo from K-Pop Demon Hunters, Free.

Oh! The chills! Now speaking of emotions, this one is crazy how the animators are able to animate these animated characters and make them portray the emotions of the song.

That's even harder to do and especially you get EJ's voice and then like a female voice with a male voice doing these harmonies together.

That's just my personal opinion.

But anyways, I bought, I was able to get a ticket to see Plave.

So that should be very interesting.

I will say, though, that their tickets were hella effing expensive and insane.

Yeah, absolutely.

That's who I am.

Because did I drop $20 on a membership for Plave in order to get pre-sale?

Yes.
