SUNDAY:
#1- In a letter posted on Instagram, F(x)'s Amber announced her departure from SM Entertainment on Sunday morning. She wrote she wouldn't renew her

jealous of the lucky fans who will be able to attend!

appeared on the Internet. According to the company, Jiho is feeling better and is currently resting with her family. We wish her a speedy recovery!
#1- X1 / FLASH
Only a month after winning the fourth season of the Produce's series, the boys of X1 debuted on Tuesday with their EP "Emergency: Quantum Leap"
and its title track, "Flash"! After performing for the first time in front of an impressive crowd at Gocheok Sky Dome, X1 keep breaking rookies' records all
over the world and already established their power on the kpop scene. If you still need to give "Flash" a listen, you can click on the video below!
#2- SUNMI / LALALAY
Sunmi is back with another banger! After the release of "Noir" almost six months ago, the soloist dropped "Lalalay" on Tuesday, and once more, the song's
lyrics and the music video's imagery were not chosen randomly: Sunmi makes it clear that gossips and criticism can't harm her, as she will always be
alright as long as she can be herself and do what she wants. Well said, Queen Sunmi!
#3- KIM JAEHWAN & STELLA JANG / VACANCE IN SEPTEMBER
Holidays are officially over and it is time to head back to school or work... and to create a new playlist to relax at the end of the day! Its first addition
should definitely be "Vacance in September", interpreted by Kim Jaehwan, who was Wanna One's main singer (who debuted his solo career in May), and Stella
Jang, a singer and musician who is famous for her sweet vocals. The song was released on Monday, and this collaboration is definitely a match made in heaven!
#4- FANXY RED / T.O.P
After leaving their Chinese company and undergoing lineup changes, the four members of Fanxy Red (previously known as Acrush) are ready to take the
Asian music industry by storm with their Korean's debut single album, "Activate"! Its title track is entitled "T.O.P" and is available in both Korean
and Chinese. It's time for you to give it a listen in the music video below!
#5- JIMIN PARK / STAY BEAUTIFUL
It was revealed a few weeks ago that Jimin Park, winner of the first season of K-pop Star and (now former) member of 15&, wouldn't renew her contract
with JYP Entertainment. Before leaving, she was given a last solo comeback with "Stay Beautiful", which was released on Monday. The singer still has to
join a new company, but given her talent, there is no doubt that she will keep recording music in the future!
#6- LAST IDOL / SEISHUN TRAIN
Seemingly abandoning their units for the second time this year, Last Idol (Family) released the MV for their 7th single, this time "青春トレイン/Seishun Train".
Seishun's characters means the green spring of the season, but is used to refer to the youth and energetic term of one's life. Last Idol brings this term to life
with their meaningful lyrics, such as "It's better to aim for something even if it never comes true."Take a listen and let us know what you think!
