K-pop group Cortis debuted August 18, 2025 with their EP Color Outside the Lines, which includes five songs and one feature with Teezo Touchdown with “What You Want” being their debut single. There are five members known as Martin the leader, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho. 

Recently, they were able to perform as the opening act at the NBA crossover on February 12, 2026 being the first K-pop act to do this performance. Their performance was energetic, fun, and very unique. As they performed remixes of their songs such as “FaSHioN”, “GO!”, “What You Want”, and “Joyride”. 

But what people are speculating is when their first comeback will be, as it has been 6 months since their debut. At the NBA Crossover event Cortis performed a new song called “YOUNGCREATERCREW” or for short “YCC”. Their leader, Martin, even mentioned “we have some exciting things happening this March.” Many have been speculating that their comeback will be in April, following Tomorrow X Together (a group under the same company: Big Hit Entertainment). Their comeback should be coming anytime soon, as they are performing at KCON Japan on May 10, 2026. What can March have for cortis fans (COER)? Might they be  releasing Teasers for the comeback, a full comeback realase in march or april, or will we see them taking the Music Show stages this April.

Recently, K-pop group Stray Kids was able to “dominATE” movie theaters world wide with them releasing a movie on their own experiences of their sold out shows at the SoFI stadium in Los Angeles Day 1, and Day 2. This experience was shown in cinemas all around the world estimated to be 1,724 locations in 4DX, 3D, ScreenX, IMAX, and Normal Screening. On February 6th Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience became the #1 in global box office making around 19.1 million dollars in box office sales. Not only did they hit number #1 but they also were able to make IMAX history by hitting the highest-grossing opening for a Korea -Language film. 

The experience showcased many things, such as the members' own feelings as a group, the fans' reactions, and the sold-out performances at the SoFI Stadium for 2 back-to-back days. Each member got their own section of the film to talk about their growth as a member and as a group. It also featured parts of their performance with 27 songs out of the 30 they did at SoFI and special behind-the-scenes recordings. 

In conclusion we would rate the Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience a 5/5. It was definitely worth the 2 hours and 30 mins of our day. If you like fun, energetic, loud and calm music we would most definitely recommend for you to watch as we will be rewatching!

Xtraordinary Genes (XG) is a Japanese seven-member group whose music is more hip - hop and R&B. On January 23, 2026 the group released their first album called THE CORE - 核 which includes a total of 10 songs. Some of those being “HYPNOTIZE” becoming their most listened to at the moment, “TAKE MY BREATH”, “ROCK THE BOAT”, etc. This album is a mix of hip-hop, but also slower-toned songs, which is amazing for those that enjoy different-toned music. The album also comes in multiple physical forms of the album. A regular version, XG version, and finally 7 individual CDs for each member (Chisa, Harvey, Jurin, Juria, Maya, Cocona, Hinata).

 They also have some Features in the song PS118 which is a song that focuses on their member Jurin singing with another artist named Rapsordy which captures the rap skill Jurin has as dedication as this is her first solo song mentioned in the album. My favorite song has to be “4 SEASONS” because of the slow rhythm of the song, which is very new for them since I'm used to more upbeat songs from them and the lyrics talk about friendship, which really highlights their powerful, and meaningful vocals. “ GALA” is another song that is my top because of the energetic beat and choreography that the song has. It is very confident and empowering. It has more of a voguing feel to it, which I personally enjoy a lot.

 But overall  THE CORE - 核 is a very enjoyable album and really captures the creativity of all the members as a group together and the different forms they can sing in. I will say to give it a listen and support the group as this is their first ever album in their career, other than the mini-albums they have released. 

On Jan 16, 2026  K-pop boy group ENHYPEN released their seventh mini album making it their first album of the year called THE SIN:VANISH with the title track being ¨KNIFE¨. This comeback is continuing their story line of dark fantasy vampires that they have stuck with for 5 years and continue to expand the storyline even deeper into it as they have a connected storyline with J-Pop group &TEAM. 

  This album was released in many languages such as Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese. Including member focused remixes as in ¨Knife (Ni-ki Version)¨ for each of the 7 members in the group. As well with 18 physical versions of the albums with the main three being called STORM, AFTERLIGHT, and FORBIDDEN. (That can be found in Target, Walmart, and any K-pop store!)

 THE SIN:VANISH album contained 11 title tracks including a feature on the song ¨No way back ( Feat. So!YoON!)¨.

¨The Beginning¨- 2:20

¨ No Way Back (Feat. So!YoON!)- 3:05- This is my second favorite as the vocals from enhypen and So!YoOn! Sync together so well you need to listen ASAP!!

¨The Fugitives¨- 2:04

¨Knife¨- 2:19 

¨Stealer¨- 2:56

¨The voive¨- 1:12

¨Witnesses¨- 1:08

¨Big Girls Don't Cry¨- 1:58   -Big girls don't cry being their most mainstream strength in this album with many fans loving the beat and their amazing vocals in this song. 

¨Lost Isalnd¨- 1:58 -Lost island is personally one of my favorites as it really sounds amazing. The lyrics and vocals are very fitting for this song and would positively recommended as it is a 10/10.

¨Sleep Tight¨ 2:37

¨The Beyond¨- 1:58

I would say ENHYPEN had a successful comeback for 2026. They have gotten 1 win for the title track ¨Knife¨ at M Countdown, selling 1.6 million copies on the release day and  2 million copies in the first week of the album release. This being the first release of the year for them and it has already been on repeat. I would definitely recommend this album!!

With Halloween passing by, we find ourselves searching and longing for the perfect song to get you in that spooky mood. Well, fret not, my dear reader, for here I have compiled a list of the top 10 spookiest songs to get you, yes, you, in that spooky mood. Now, in no particular order, I shall commence. 

To start this mysteriously sinister list off, we have an all-time classic. “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Picket. Fun fact about this song: it is actually about the “monster mash” and isn’t the actual aforementioned “monster mash” in the song. 

Next, we have another classic, served up hot and ready. You know this one if you’re a fan of 80s cinema: The “Ghostbusters Theme Song”! This spooky song is sure to give you a more silly kind of Halloween experience. This one will definitely be for you if you enjoy busting some ghosts on occasion. 

Now we have an absolute banger. Probably one of the most iconic songs of all time. Michael  Jackson’s “Thriller”. Everything about this song just screams spooky. The iconic and striking visuals in the music video are sure to give you a spook! I personally enjoy that killer guitar solo from the late legend Mr. Eddie Van Halen. 

Following that, I think that “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps is an excellent song to get you into a spooky mood. Their rockabilly sound is sure to have you up and at it all night long. Although I believe that you should give their whole discography a listen. They have other just as spooky songs, such as “Human Fly”, “I Was A Teenage Werewolf”, and “The Creature from the Black Leather Lagoon”. 

Upcoming, we have a song that is getting into scarier territories. “Halloween Theme - Main Title” composed by John Carpenter. This terrifying song originates from the 1978 horror classic “Halloween,” which introduced horror legend Michael Myers. This song is sure to creep out anyone who is fortunate or unfortunate enough to hear it, depending on how you view it. 

Okay, so we’ve reached the halfway point of our list. So you might be wondering what type of song I could have left. And I say, “Don’t get impatient!” as it’s to be revealed in the following sentence! “Goosebumps Original Theme Song” by Jack Lenz is an amazing song for the Halloween season, and while you’re at it, you should check out the 1995 TV show. In fact, you really should read the books too! 

The next song I have for you is “Spooky, Scary Skeletons” by Andrew Gold. This is another excellent song to set a fun and spooky mood. If you are up for it, you could alternatively put on The Living Tombstone’s remix.

Speaking of The Living Tombstone, our next song is a nostalgic trip back down memory lane! “Five Nights at Freddy’s 1 Song” by The Living Tombstone turned 11 years old this August 31st. Feel old yet? Anyway, I just wanted to mention how OLD this song is. 

You’re going to have to hear me out on this next one. “Werewolf” by Tip the Van is an amazing song, and although not as popular and iconic as the songs previously mentioned throughout this list, I definitely think it deserves a listen. It definitely sets a fun, spooky mood with its ska punk guitar, groovy basslines, and bold horns. 

Finally, to end this list off, after much consideration and contemplation, I have decided to break the formula and recommend a full album. Released in 1983, “Sleep in Safety” by 45 Grave. This death rock/goth rock album, which explores many macabre themes, is a perfect fit for any spooky playlist. It includes many cool and spooky songs, such as “Evil”, “Surfbat”, and “Riboflavin”. This album gets a whole-hearted recommendation from me!

With that being said, this delightfully spooky list has come to an end. I hope that this list has something for you, no matter what kind of uniquely spooky taste you have. 

Tyler, the Creator’s new album Don’t Tap the Glass invites you to enjoy the music by moving your body, encourages you to stay in the moment, to put down your phone, and DANCE! These three steps are Tyler’s way to encourage listeners to focus on positive interactions and to make connections with others and music. There is a deeper meaning to Tyler’s album, but he does not want his listeners to get caught up in finding a deeper meaning; instead, he spells out what the meaning is, which is to have fun and dance.  

 Tyler encourages you to express yourself in whatever moment you might be in. On his social media, he points out that many of his friends and people in general don’t dance due to a fear of being filmed, becoming a meme, or being criticized for their dance moves. The intention of “Don’t Tap the Glass” is to free people from the fear of expressing themselves without fear of social criticism. During his album drop, Tyler took this seriously. He did not allow phones into the event so that the audience could be free to make connections to the music and not be afraid. This was a success! It can be argued that Don’t Tap the Glass is just a fun album, meant to reawaken human expression, or its meaning could not be as deep, but it is a simple request to not interact with our phones by tapping the glass and missing out on expressing yourself freely.
