After an eventful weekend, we’re all feeling a bit sluggish on this fine Monday/Tuesday (depending on which area of the world you’re in), so there’s nothing that lifts the spirits more than some exciting developments in the K-pop world. Over the weekend, BTS’ Jungkook continued smashing records while LOONA and IVE prepared for their upcoming concerts. In today’s round-up, we’re focusing more on the seven-member ensemble Dreamcatcher and DAY6’s singer-songwriter and rapper, Young K. In addition, Gallup Korea — an organization that started taking surveys every year since 2007 — has published the results of this year’s ‘Most Influential Individuals’ in each sector (music, acting, etc). Korea’s favorite song shouldn’t surprise you, nor should its top artists.
Let’s cut the chit-chat; there’s plenty of news to dish out, so we’re gonna dive right in.
