Dance with the Devil: Suga & Halsey do Lilith

2023/06/15

We love a good BTS collab, and it's even better when it's an artist we adore. Halsey has worked with BTS in the past and appeared in Road to D-Day as Suga's number one hair stylist. In Lilith, a song released in conjunction with a new edition of the popular video game Diablo, we see the two of them take a walk on the dark side. While there as some minor controversy regarding people decrying the video for promoting demon worship, Becky and Alison had a different take. And if they're wrong,

D-Day is here. The album we all suspected (knew) was coming but only had official confirmation for A FEW WEEKS AGO is out in the world.

BTS's Park Jimin thinks so and has gifted us with his first solo EP, a short but smart journey from relational breakdowns, to emotional breakdowns, to embodying the idea that "a breakdown is an

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, at least that's what Tonya, Alison, Megan and Lia have learned in the world of ARMY fandom. Back before BTS got their hooks in us, we were avid K-drama watchers and one drama that delighted us was Her Private Life which depicts the secret life of a professional art curator who happens to be a little (lot) obsessed with a Kpop idol. We thought it was cute but also maybe over the top at first watch. Nowadays...we aren't so sure. Suddenly having a
