IU talked about the behind-the-scenes of her kiss scene with Byun Wooseok.

On the 7th, a preview for the Youtube channel 'Salon Drip' featured the lead actors of MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' including IU, Byun Wooseok, Noh Sanghyun, and Gong Seungyeon.

When Jang Doyeon mentioned the viral 'wall kiss scene,' Byun Wooseok said, "Our noses touch, you know. Since it was hot, it was a bit sweaty." IU then added, "There were nose marks on my cheek."

When Noh Sanghyun asked, "How many times did you guys kiss?" Jang Doyoung reacted excitedly, saying, "Nice question." IU replied, "We kissed countless times," and Byun Wooseok added, "For that scene, we did it many times."

Meanwhile, 'Perfect Crown,' starring IU and Byun Wooseok, is a romance drama set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy. It tells the story of Song Heejoo (IU), a chaebol who has everything but is frustrated by her 'commoner' statur, and Grand Prince Yian (Byun Wooseok), the King's son who despises his royal status, as they change their fates and social class. This drama will start airing on the 10th at 9:40 PM (KST).

Risabae: "I'm a creator, not an influencer" ... Debuts as a singer

Beauty creator and makeup artist Risabae (CEO of Two Slash Four) is making her debut as a singer.

On the 8th at 6 PM (KST), Risabae will release her new song 'SPECTRUM' simultaneously worldwide through various online music platforms and her official Youtube channel. This release captures her bold move to prove her multi-dimensional spectrum as an artist, beyond being a makeup artist and brand founder.

Her new song 'SPECTRUM' adopts the UK Garage genre, an electronic dance music style that originated in the UK in the 1990s. It is characterized by its unique, rhytmic shuffle beat and an addictive off-beat baseline. Risabae combines her strength in visual art direction with musical textures to create a cool, yet mysterious atmosphere.

In particular, this song carries a message Risabae wants to deliver to the public. The lyric "I'm not just an influencer. No matter what, I'm a creator," reflects Risabae's autobiographical narrative of carving her own path despite external views and prejudices. It expresses her determination to overcome obstacles and move toward limitless possibilities.

Kim Eunha, CEO of her agency Ice Creative, stated, "Risabae is an artist who works harder than anyone to prove the public that she leads her own life," adding, "The limitless spectrum she will show is only just the beginning."

Several new songs by T.O.P (Choi Seunghyun), former member of BIGBANG and now singer and actor, have failed to pass broadcasting reviews.

According to the results of KBS' review released on the 8th, 7 out of the 11 tracks on T.O.P's 1st full-length album 'ANOTHER DIMENSION,' released on the 3rd, were judged unfit.

First, 'Be Solid' and 'Another Dimension Holy Dude !!!!!!!!' were deemed unfit due to 'lyrics containing profanity, slang, and vulgar expressions.'

Additionally, 'For Fans,' 'Seoul Chaos,' 'Desperado,' 'OVAYA,' and 'The Giant' were judged suitable and passed the review.
