Lastly, let's stick to the boy group theme. K-pop group AHOF , which translates to the number "nine" in Korean, have dropped their second mini album, "The Passage," which explores the themes of youth and personal growth.

Drawing inspiration from Pinocchio's dream of becoming human, the nine-member group portrays the struggles and resilience of today's youth, their pain, confusion, anxiety, and frustration, through a band sound that beautifully complements the autumn mood. The album includes five tracks, including the main song "Pinocchio Hates Lies" and the intro track "The Beginning of the Shining Numbers."

AHOF will be promoting this release as an eight-member group, as member CHIHEN is temporarily on hiatus due to health concerns. We hope to see him back soon! Thanks for the news Walter. For those who are unaware, from this week we have a new AI anchor ARANG to report what's on the culture front. ARANG, over to you!
