Reposted from @globalmyeon On September 18, Rainbow's Hyunyoung invited her close friend/rapper DinDin as a guest for her YouTube series, 'Jo Hyunyoung TV'! First, Hyunyoung introduced DinDin as her "childhood friend", as the two stars (both 1991-liners) lived in the same neighborhood from their elementary school days all the way throughout high school. DinDin also introduced himself as, "Jo Hyunyoung's childhood friend since elementary school", greeting viewers of 'Jo Hyunyoung TV'. He was then asked if he remembered his first encounter with Hyunyoung. However, DinDin gave a totally unrelated answer as he revealed, "I don't know if I should say this? She and I actually dated for like 2 weeks. When we were second or third years in middle school?" Here, Hyunyoung can be heard outside of the frame demanding, "What the f*** are you talking about?" Laughing, DinDin continued, "We dated for like 2 weeks when we were in middle school, but I wanted to break up with her so I told Beolgu (another friend) to tell you that he liked you. And then I called Beolgu when you were there and we asked him and then he said he liked you, and that's how you two started dating!" Still outside the frame, Hyunyoung could be heard exclaiming, "I have no memory of ever dating you! When did that ever happen?" DinDin then suggested that they call their other childhood friend, Beolgu. DinDin then asked Beolgu for confirmation, and Beolgu coolly commented, "That's right." When DinDin stated, "She's saying that we never dated," Beolgu refuted, "No, you two did date." Hearing Beolgu's confirmation, Hyunyoung was at a loss for words ! DinDin then chased(?) Hyunyoung out of the frame again, remarking, "I mean we were in middle school, what's the big deal? Middle school kids barely do anything when they date." Later on, the two stars diffused the tension(?) by explaining that through such incidents, they were able to become very close real life friends. - • follow ❝ @globalmyeon ❞ for more 📷 - + {tags}: #rainbow #kpop #kpopnews #kpopupdate #hyunyoung - 🌱 Give Credit If Reposting 💌:: hate & self-promo will be deleted !! ©; https://www.instagram.com/p/CFULeTvlrJH/?igshid=r4noclxfrh60

El exitoso grupo de chicas, #aespa, se viene con todo para su próximo regreso con el mini álbum "Girls" y aquí te contamos todo lo que necesitas saber. Después de más de medio año de su último regreso con su primer mini álbum "Savage", de un exitoso paso por el festival de #Coachella, y de diversas pistas que las miembros del grupo han ido compartiendo con los fans, finalmente el día de ayer la comunidad fue sorprendida con el anuncio del regreso del grupo con su segundo mini álbum para el mes de julio. Pero aunque la espera parece larga, aespa tiene ciertas sorpresas para hacerla más amena, empezando por la unión del grupo con la compañía discográfica major Warner Music, quienes junto a SM Entertainment trabajaran para el marketing y distribución de aespa en Estados Unidos, con el fin de, en palabras de la discográfica, "convertir a aespa en un éxito sin precedentes". Por si esto no fuera suficiente, fue lanzado "Illusion" un sencillo anticipado que vino junto a una colaboración con Apple Music, quienes han publicitado al grupo en redes sociales, anticipando el nuevo lanzamiento, y compartiendo el video "Up Next: aespa" una entrevista exclusiva a las miembros. Gracias a Apple Music también hemos tenido un vistazo al tracklist de este nuevo álbum, que contará con la antes mencionada "Illusion", además de temas completamente nuevos como "Girls", "Lingo", "ICU", y la conocida "Life's too short" canción que fue presentada en exclusiva durante el festival de Coachella y que contará con versión tanto en inglés como en coreano. Terminando con los tracks ya conocidos "Black Mamba", "Forever" y "Dreams Come True" dejando al álbum con un total de nueve canciones. Pero por si todavía no te parece suficiente, "Life's too short" será lanzada oficialmente a modo de pre-single el día 24 de este mes, dejándonos, ahora sí, completamente preparados para la liberación del mini álbum "Girls" el día 8 de julio. ¿Dónde están los #MYs de Topik? Este es su momento. 📝-Santiago🌼 #kpop #kpopnews #kpoplatam #kpopjournal #noticiaskpop #kpopchile #kpoper #kpoplatinosparty #kpoplover #kpopespañol #kpoplove #kpopupdate #culturakpop #karina #Winter #giselle #ningning ©️Topikmagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/CeT707OrW6p6MU-Tn5v-z-LBz40Q4MKFPHaelA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello everyone!
We are now coming to the end of summer (but not quite, there’s about a month left thankfully!). We are also about to hit 500 posts! A few things we wanted to talk to you all about-- KPopupdated is now @kpopsunbae! We went through a little rebranding, but you’ll see more of that in a little bit. Also don’t forget, we have a Discord Server: https://discord.gg/3gx6u5R (this link shouldn’t expire)!
We also wanted to know if you guys had any type of content you would like to see from us-- let us know on any of our social media accounts (Instagram or Twitter!). Constructive criticism is always welcome too! One last thing, what time zones are you guys in? Let us know so we can modify our scheduling if need be.
Lastly, an exciting project will start coming to fruition in the coming months so you can look forward that official announcement! As always, thanks for following us!
--JR, Min, Onyx
