- This week, we've received some heartbreaking news from the KPOP world. Hi, everybody. It's
Nikki. Annyeonghaseo. Jeoneun Nikki ipnida. Welcome back to another KPOP News Flash. Sadly,
I'm starting out this news with some extremely sad news. Kim Dong Yoon, who took part in
MIXNINE and just debuted with Spectrum this May has passed away at the age of 20. I want
to send my sincerest condolences to his family, his friends, and also his fans. But I want
his fans to understand, to give his family time, and to respect their wishes. Again,
my sincerest condolences go out to his family and his friends. Simon Dominic, CEO of AOMG,
has resigned as the CEO. He also released a song called "I'm No Jay Park", which kind
of says that he can't keep up with Jay Park, because Jay Park's just kind of taking off,
and Jay Park is also the CEO of AOMG. However, Simon Dominic is not going to leave the label.
He is going to stay with the label, and he's going to continue working as an artist and
working more on himself, which he wanted to do. So he's only resigning as the CEO, not
from the whole label. Fantagio is continuing to dig their hole even deeper. Now, KEMA,
which is the Korean Entertainment Management Association is going to boycott Fantagio,
meaning all of their artists, which is not a good thing. It kind of all started out when
Fantagio decided to sue some of their artists who were going through mediation with KEMA
because Fantagio was accused of operating illegally, and the artists were concerned
about their contracts and wanted to terminate them when they first heard that Fantagio was
no longer having the required licenses to run as an entertainment agency. So they went
through mediation with KEMA, and as mediation went on and they finished it, Fantagio decided
to sue these artists for breach of contract before they even heard the results of the
mediation. So there's a whole other mess going on. Please feel free to go on my website,
link below. There's a more in-depth view of what's going on there right now. Sticking
with Fantagio, ASTRO is back with their album, Rise Up, and their title track, "Always You".
"Always You" is an absolutely beautiful song. I love the music video. I love the song. I
think the tune has something to it that as soon as you hear it, you know it's ASTRO.
So I definitely think you should check out the whole video. Seungri has also released
another music video. This one is featuring Mino, and it's called "Where R U From". The
music video to "Where R U From" is insane. It's a parody, but it's so awesomely done,
and I just kept rewatching it, because I just loved it so, so much. He's not only poking
fun of himself, which is a big deal to be able to make fun of yourself, but he's also
kind of making fun of the whole political situation that we're in right now. But yes,
definitely go check out Seungri. IN2IT is also back with their album, Into The Night
Fever ... Yeah, Into The Night Fever and their title track, "Sorry For My English". "Sorry
For My English" is super fun. As you can see, the video goes from them dancing to them studying
really, really hard. And we all know that KPOP idols get a lot of crap for not speaking
English, which I think is ridiculous. But yes, I think the whole video and the whole
song is just awesome, so it's so exciting. iKON's Chanwoo has now his own YouTube channel.
How awesome is that? His first vlog is already up, and of course all his other group members
have to poke fun at him having a YouTube channel, but I'm absolutely looking forward to more
content from him, and I will link it down below for you. Some good news have made it
their way to us as well. The Korean Ministry of Defense has decided to start shortening
the military service requirement lengths, so all of them are being shortened a little
-- by a few months -- which means our idols, or our favorite idols, don't have to serve
as long, meaning shorter hiatuses for groups. More to that also on my website, and if you're
not familiar with the Korean mandatory military service, I will link a video down below that
I did previously on that which explains it a little better for you. Red Velvet is going
to be on Knowing Brothers, or it's also called Ask Us Anything, and they're doing this before
their official comeback, which is a great transition and promotion for themselves. So
you should check that out. Every week, the episodes are being uploaded on Netlfix, so
you can watch it on Netflix. And also don't forget, Red Velvet has gotten their own light
stick now, and it's available for preorder here in the US as well. As you can see, it
was kind of a shorter week this week, or a more quieter week, when it comes to KPOP news,
and sadly we had sad news in it, but I still hope that you guys have an amazing week. I
hope you guys stay safe. Stay hydrated. It's hot everywhere right now. I will see you next
week. I love you. Saranghae. Annyeong. Bye-bye. Want more KPOP news? Check out last week's
