While the old groups seem returning, K-pop is also producing new idols and all of them are breathing well in the same room.
LE SSERAFIM Made My Night Performance Film is energetic, colourful and vibrant. It has the kind of infectious energy that makes you move a little even if you try to be serious.

YESUNG's "Pedazos" is a devastating portrait of heartbreak in the most silent form with the idea of longing and emotional fragments left behind after the relationship ends.
