I haven’t written about a new Secret Number track in almost two years. The group has never quite been able to crawl out of nugudom, but that’s not due to a lack of talent. Secret Number became known for their vocals early on and have been at their best when given material that spotlights that skill. However, this new iteration of the group has almost all-new members, making a re-debut almost necessary. Instead, they’ve hung onto a name and branding that had little cachet to begin with. New single Don’t Touch recalls a few past glories, but it’s missing the…

Kep1er’s most recent Korean title track Tipi-Tap felt like a non-entity — a song so slight that it tippy tapped its way from memory almost instantly. But after that, they released the surprisingly boisterous Yum in Japan. After performing that song at this year’s KCON LA, they teased new single Bubble Gum. This song exists in the same sonic universe as Yum, which is a welcome development. Kep1er are clearly done tippy tapping around and have settled into a stomping strut.

Mnet‘s Boys II Planet was recently called out after fans realized that they had not only done their usual evil editing, but they had also made use of their victim in another sense. One of the trainees, Yichen, had been singled out for allegedly constantly being absent at group practices. The show highlighted this with the caption. “A situation where they can’t practice without Yichen.” This painted Yichen in a bad light, with fans of the other members blaming him for the group’s slow progress. Later on, the show claimed that he was seen strolling around the premises, even sitting…
