On an otherwise quiet Monday night, the North Shore Center for Performing Arts in Skokie, Illinois was alive with chants of ‘TRI.BE Vi Da Loca’. K-pop girl group TRI.BE (pronounced try-bee), are in the middle of their first US tour. Their fans, affectionately referred to by the group as ‘True’, showed their support by yelling the groups’ slogan ‘TRI.BE Vi Da Loca’ during each of their songs. The phrase combines the latin words ‘la vida loca’ and the group name, ‘TRI.BE’, to mean ‘passionate life’. TRI.BE’s passion for their fans translates throughout the whole show, starting with the group performing an English version of their song ‘Wonderland’. The members shared they performed this version specifically as a gift for American True’s to celebrate their first US Tour. The group took turns showing off their vocal skills, by singing their favorite parts of the upcoming songs, acapella, as teasers to hype up the crowd. ‘Got Your Back’ was a unit stage that included members Songsun, Kelly, and Jia. It featured a fun call and response with the audience and was produced by Songsun. ‘-18’ showcased the performance abilities of members Hyunbin, Soeun, and Mire. They ended this set of the concert with the whole group back together as they performed a dance cover medley of a few other high profile kpop groups such as Ateez, Seventeen, and Enhypen. The show featured a fun segment called ‘Ask TRI.BE’ where the fans submitted questions prior to the concertand the members would take turns picking which ones to answer. This portion of the show really showed how much the group enjoys interacting with their fans. They listened to requests shouted out from the audience on which specific questions to answer and even prepared special, spontaneous performances of songs not on their setlist in response to fan’s questions. Hilarity ensued as a bug flew around the stage causing commotion amongst the girls, while ultimately creating the perfect segway into their next songs. Soeun was hit by the bug on her cheek and exclaimed “Oh! It kissed me!” which resulted in the other members' laughter, as their next set consisted of songs ‘In The Air’ and ‘Kiss’. The girls shared again just how thankful and happy they were to be on their first US Tour. They announced their love for ‘True’ and hoped all their fans would remember today as a special day, just like they would. They finished with the song ‘We Are Young’, dedicated to all their fans, before exiting the stage. Not long after, member’s voices could be heard over the loudspeakers, asking all fans to remain seated for safety purposes as they were going to come out into the crowd for their last number ‘Stay Together’.

B.K, DJ RON-E, DH and FORTY Some of our favorite rising K-indie artists have returned to Atlanta for another high-energy night.  As those Still Blue lights made a sudden change to green, Atlanta fans cheered as they welcomed opening act B.K, who was accompanied by DJ RON-E. DJ RON-E started mixing during 2020 when COVID hit the U.S.. He, like many of us, found comfort in music as it seemed to be the only true constant during an uncertain time. “I’m in love with Hip Hop and the culture and DJs are the start of the culture*” and with that love, DJ RON-E took the opportunity to “learn while we’re all locked down”. His favorite genres to mix are Hip Hop and EDM! B.K will admit that he first gained fame after his appearance on “Show Me the Money 6” (Interview with biaswreckerblog).  Some fans have been following B.K’s growth as an artist since before this time; While others had become fans during his performance with his high-energy stage presence, solidly smooth vocals and relatable lyrics. The venue's energy was taken up another level as the stage went dark, and the venue was filled with nothing but DH’s rap!  DH has been performing, alongside the other VISION MUSIC members, since 2017, and found his inspiration from Korean artists like G-Dragon & Bobby.  Both artists are known for just simply having fun while performing, which is mirrored in DH’s stage presence. We were fortunate to have been presented with the opportunity to hear B.K and DH for the first time on September 13, 2022; Where they opened for JUNNY at this very same venue!

On March 15, 2023, seven-member boy band TRENDZ put an end to their [BLUE SET] saga, which the group has been promoting since their debut on January 5, 2022. With the March 15th release of their second single album [BLUE SET CHAPTER] NEW DAYZ, we are finally seeing the year-long saga come to an end. With only one (1) year in the industry, they have been actively releasing music every other month, catching the public's attention with their powerful performances. The group, consisting of Havit, Leon, Yoonwoo, Hankook, ra.L, Eunil, and Yechan, made their highly anticipated debut on January 5, 2022 with the first installment of their [BLUE SET] saga, titled [BLUE SET Chapter 1.] TRACKS. This album’s title track, "TNT (Truth and Trust)," displayed a nostalgic old-school sound, the presence of a strong rap line and a fun melody that brings us to our toes. The second installment of the saga, [BLUE SET Chapter 2.] CHOICE, was released on June 8, 2022 with title track, "WHO [吼]." This track displayed another nostalgic old-school sound, and a new perspective from the added bass and drum elements. The elements of "WHO [吼]" left us wondering what additional elements TRENDZ will add during their journey to finding their defining sound. The third installment of the [BLUE SET] saga, [BLUE SET Chapter 2] Unknown Code, was released November 12, 2022. TRENDZ finally found their defining sound and groundbreaking moment with the release of the title track,"Vagabond." "Vagabond" came to life through a collaboration with producer LEEZ, also known for having worked with prominent artists in the Korean music scene, such as ATEEZ, Dreamcatcher, Yoonha and N.FLYING. During the fourth, and final, installment to the [BLUE SET] saga, we hear Havit, Leon, Yoonwoo, Hankook, ra.L, Eunil, and Yechan highlight the group’s diverse talents during this three track, multi-filled genre, album. [BLUE SET Chapter.] NEW DAYZ takes us on a journey of fear, finding courage and making the choice to help those around us. "Nightmare" begins with a short eerie, dream-like piano intro, transitions, and settles into a dark R&B Pop sound. The genre, instrumentals and strong beats of this song ties into the concept of fearing the unknown. We find evidence of this throughout the lyrics, such as, “. In the album’s title track, "NEW DAYZ," we find our courage to face our fears through the sporadic injected line “Don’t give up”. The M/V takes us through the boy’s journey of waking up from his dream and escaping from his false neverland. We can hear his determination in the song’s highlight line, “I dream of meeting you again beyond the end of this dream. I'm waiting for NEW DAYZ!” The final track of the album, "Fantasy," brings an end to the [BLUE SET] saga, and the album’s journey. Fantasy incorporates a variety of beats that makes the flow of the song memorable and unique. This song expresses the inner sound of the boy who escaped fake neverland. The boy firmly decides to save his friends, who are still trapped in the fake neverland. TRENDZ’s unique sound and captivating style continue to make waves in the K-pop scene. They are definitely a name to remember in the industry. Special thanks to Laury and Moonlight PR!
