Music Elixir

Ever wondered what it's like when astrology predictions intertwine with the whirlwind world of K-pop and J-pop? Tune into our latest episode of Music Elixir, where we kick things off with personal stories about our astrological journeys and how they intersect with our multifaceted careers. Get the scoop on G-Dragon's latest developments, including YG Entertainment's surprising decision to hand over all trademark rights to his stage name. While whispers about a solo concert at Seoul's Gocheon Sky Dome circulate, nothing has been confirmed yet, but one thing's for sure: GD is gearing up for a major solo comeback before the end of 2024. Join us as we dissect these rumors and reflect on GD's incredible journey and what lies ahead for him in the industry. We also give a shout out to Jin of BTS and his new role as Gucci's global ambassador (and speculate about his runway debut.)
Switching gears to J-Pop, Snow Man's latest single "BREAKOUT" has shattered records with phenomenal first-week sales, and we can't help but gush over the stylish transformations of Daisuke and Raul. Plus, don’t miss our excitement about the timelesz new member auditions, set to be streamed exclusively on Netflix from September 13th. We also delve into Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry's ambitious plans to revitalize the music industry, discussing the integration of cultural industries and the global impact of platforms like Netflix.
