The K-pop group's fun new single brought in 84% of the vote.
The venture "aims to create new things that attract attention in a different way," the K-pop star wrote.

Thirteen albums sold more than 1 million physical units in South Korea in the first half of 2023, compared to zero in the United States.

HYBE also sends a letter to SM demanding the current board terminate a pact with Kakao and withdraw its Kakao-nominated director candidate.
