Producer EL CAPITXN has a clear (and explicit) message for fans of his friend Heeseung (ex-ENHYPEN) Following the announcement that Heeseung would depart ENHYPEN, there was predictably a lot of shock, confusion, and anger expressed in all corners of the Internet. Some of that got to BIGHIT MUSIC producer (and Heeseung’s friend) EL CAPITXN, who had an explicit message for people on the matter. Stop sending me stories about Lee Heeseung, …

Heeseung shocks everybody by leaving ENHYPEN to go solo, citing differences in ‘musical vision’ In what feels like perhaps the most out of left field member departure in a while, it was recently announced ENHYPEN member Heeseung would be leaving the group due to vague “musical vision” reasoning. BELIFT LAB has given much thought and consideration into ENHYPEN’s future direction and goals. Through in-depth discussions with each of the …

Live(ish): Ado’s “Usseewa”, Apink (Medley), Bada (S.E.S. Medley), KiiiKiii’s “404 (New Era)”, VIXX (Medley) Live(ish), for performances that are ostensibly live (not much truly is anymore) and other tangentially-related stuff. It’ll mostly be ones that I enjoyed, but I’ll probably include the rare ones that stood out in the other direction as well. Like most of these “features”, it’s really just an excuse for me to messily dump stuff …

Rundown: Kohjiya, Sik-K, IVE, BLACKPINK, EVERGLOW Lunar New Year really delayed notable releases for quite a while, but we’re back … for better or worse. ====== Kohjiya (Feat.

Playlisting: Lady Owl, Olive, Xiihu, Yama, KiiiKiii, East Of Eden, Ayumu Imazu Playlisting, because I needed to complicate things for myself, apparently. I dunno. I wouldn’t say the stuff here is necessarily worse than things in the Highlights feature — and indeed, depending your taste, it might honestly be preferable — but rather it’s more tried and true formulas plus genre-specific stuff. With some of the releases, …
