✨ K-POP of the Week❗Ktown4u Pick❗: YG's treasure box is open! HOT Debut, BABYMONSTER
|
|
|
From the beginning of 2023 to the end of the year! There's a group that received a lot of attention from K-POP fans throughout the year, right? It's 'BABYMONSTER'! It's the first girl group presented by YG Entertainment in about 7 years since BLACKPINK, so I remember all the K-POP fans around me talking about BABYMONSTER for a while when thier debut launch news was announced earlier this year. 😲

After the release of the members' practice videos and the debut survival show 'Last Evaluation', the buzz just couldn't stop. And now, finally, at 00:00 AM (KST) on November 27th, BABYMONSTER's song dropped! Have you all checked out 'BATTER UP'? Can you believe they're rookies with those killer vocals? Personally, I think just like every artist from YG Entertainment has their unique flair, BABYMONSTER is about to carve out their own new genre. I'm super excited about what they'll bring to the table next! 😄 For those of you who haven't heard 'BATTER UP' yet, you've gotta catch up! Check it out on BABYMONSTER's official SNSs and music platforms ASAP!

🏆Who will be the winner of the 'Rookie of the Year' in 2023 award?
|
|
|
Do you remember the voting event we had in episode 26 of our newsletter two weeks ago? 🗳️The topic was 'Who will be the winner of the [Rookie of the Year] in 2023 award?' Well, today's the day I finally announce the results! I'll be introducing the top 3 winners in both the male and female categories. 🥁 Drumroll, please-! |
|
|
🎖️2023 Rookie of the Year (Male)
|
|
|
*Voting Period : 2023.11.13 ~ 2023.11.21 (KST)
|
|
|
KforU's top pick for the male group poll is 'ZEROBASEONE' from the hot 2023 audition show 'BOYS PLANET' 👏👏👏 They recently made a comeback with [MELTING POINT] and hit a career high as 'Double Million Sellers' with over 2 million copies in initial sales! Have you seen their [Crush] performance? The choreography is just... 🙊 amazing, right? Make sure you check out their performance!
Next up, taking second place, is 'RIIZE', the group introduced by SM Entertainment after 7 years 👏👏👏 Right from their debut, they hit 'Million Seller' status with their debut album selling over a million copies. Plus, they really set a trend with the [Get A Guitar] challenge! Their follow-up song [Talk Saxy] has such an addictive chorus, I just keep listening to it over and over🎵
And in third place, it's 'BOYNEXTDOOR', the youngest group from HYBE 👏👏👏 They are famous as ZICO produced for over four years. Did you know that BOYNEXTDOOR's unique hip and groovy music is already the talk of the K-POP fan community? But, as I know, their name implies that 'they will approach to fans friendly with 'boy-next-door' kind of music. But seriously, which neighborhood has boys next door who are this good-looking, sing so well, and even dance like pros? 🤣

🎖️2023 Rookie of the Year (Female)
|
|
|
*Voting Period : 2023.11.13 ~ 2023.11.21 (KST)
|
|
|
The top pick for the female group poll by KforU is 'KISS OF LIFE' 👏👏👏Despite being newbies, this group has quickly become known for their vocal prowess, with each member capable of being a main vocalist! If you haven't had a chance to listen to KISS OF LIFE yet, make sure to check out their live performance on the YouTube music content [It's Live]🎧
Coming in at 2nd place is the colossal 24-member multinational girl group 'tripleS' 👏👏👏! They've been capturing hearts with their unique unit combinations. Recently, in September, they even bagged the 'Female Rookie Award' at the '2023 Brand of the Year Awards', making them a group to watch out for in the coming year🎉
Finally, in 3rd place, we have the ever-expanding girl group, 'LIMELIGHT' 👏👏👏 What's cool about them is there's no limit to the number of members, so they debuted as a trio, but we might see new faces in their next album - super exciting😆 Each of the three members is known for their dance moves, so I definitely recommend checking out their fancam videos👍

Have you heard about the recent buzz among K-POP fans about the year-end must-have, 'NewJeans' Yearbook 22-23'? 🐰 It's an item filled with photos and videos capturing moments spent with Bunnies, perfect for a trip down memory lane! While SEASON’S GREETINGS feels like welcoming the New Year with your favorite idol, the Yearbook is like wrapping up the year together with them, giving it a different charm as a year-end item☺️

💄K-Beauty Survey : Calling all makeup enthusiasts!
|
|
|
What goes through your mind when you see 'your favorite idol's hair & makeup & outfit just perfectly on point'👀💭? For me, on those days, I can't help but think, 'Wow, what palette is that? The pigmentation looks amazing', 'Their skin tone is perfect! What shade of foundation might they be using?', 'That lip color is so on point!' These thoughts naturally lead me to search for the makeup products my IDOL uses.
But if you take an interest in your IDOL's makeup and look it up, like me, you'll understand why K-Beauty is adored worldwide, particularly for its 'color cosmetics'. 'Cushion cosmetics', which were first developed in Korea, have become a global must-have. The extensive variety in the color line is so impressive that K-POP makeup artists often rely on K-Beauty brands for IDOL's stage makeup.
But don't you often feel disappointed that many K-Beauty products aren't available overseas😢? It would be so convenient if you could buy your favorite K-Beauty items along with your idol's album at Ktown4u, right? That's why we at Ktown4u have launched a K-Beauty survey for KforU🎉! Let us know what challenges you face when purchasing K-Beauty products abroad and which brands you're interested in. Ktown4u will work hard to cater to your needs💪🔥
